The following is a list of procedures our qualified office offers and performs on a regular basis:
In-Office Tooth Whitening – Our distinctive system of whitening can help you achieve the bright smile you used to have and have always hoped would show again. Our safe and professional method can bring out a greater shine than you might find with at-home bleaching kits.
Laminates / Veneers – Laminates, sometimes known as veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front side of teeth in order to restore and protect discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned teeth.
Dental Implants – An artificial tooth root replacement used to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth, dental implants can restore your smile. They can also be used to anchor loose-fitting dentures.
All-Ceramic Crowns & Bridges – A bridge is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth and is not removable by the patient, and can be a very effective and secure dental corrective. Crowns can also provide security to any teeth that may be at risk for further decay and present a cleaner, healthier look. At Distinctive Dental, all ceramics means no unsightly metal under the porcelain, so you will never see a dark line around the gum line.
Bonded Fillings – Bonded fillings are a common way to stop decay from spreading in the teeth.
Inlays and Onlays – When other methods may compromise the structural integrity of the tooth, inlays and onlays are used to stop decay and strengthen the structural integrity of the tooth.
Root Canals – A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
Root Planning / Scaling – Root planning and scaling are methods of removing toxins and film from below, under, and around the gum line, in an effort to prevent plaque from forming along the root surface. This build-up of plaque will erode the bone that holds your teeth and has been found to affect your general health.
Complete Smile Design and Makeover – The accomplished staff at Distinctive Dental Service will work directly with you to redesign your smile into the look you want. Find your celebrity smile with our state-of-the-art technology and skilled dental staff.
