Cleaning and Prevention
Prevention is key! Biannual cleanings, examinations, and oral hygiene instructions are crucial for maintaining oral health.
Fillings
Fillings prevent the spread of tooth decay and replace missing tooth structure. They are one of the most common and important methods of preserving oral health.
Crowns, Bridges, and Veneers
You use your teeth every single day and they are subject to decay, damage, and wear. Every patient’s conditions are unique - these treatments restore large amounts of missing tooth structure.
Root Canals
When decay and damage become severe, uncontrolled, a tooth’s nerve tissues and canals may become infected or damaged. That’s when you get the classic “throbbing toothache”. Root canals allow you to have a chance of preserving a dying tooth and avoid extraction.
Extractions
Dr. Hsieh has a highly conservative treatment style. We consider every opportunity to keep natural teeth when possible. However, extractions are needed when a prognosis of a tooth or possible restorations are deemed poor and would not last.
Implants
Missing teeth cause problems with chewing, affects the smile, and also can cause surrounding teeth and gums to shift over time. In the right conditions, an implant is the best way to replace missing teeth as close as possible to natural teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are an option for teeth replacement when oral/health conditions are unsuitable for implants or bridges. Each case is highly unique and requires careful planning to maximize form and function.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a method of teeth alignment that avoids metal brackets and wires. We treat crowding, spacing, and relapsed teeth.
Nightguards
Excessive jaw clenching and bruxism can accelerate tooth and jaw deterioration, as well as damage teeth and restorations. Nightguards can help protect your teeth and completed dental work.
Whitening
Professionally made whitening trays are formed from your teeth contour and can provide more consistent application to all surfaces of teeth as well as decreased sensitivity.
