Preventative Care

Keeping your teeth, gums, and mouth in good health starts with good habits. Routine check-ups and dental cleanings are a big part of that, but that’s just a foundation – good brushing and flossing habits also play a critical role in preventing plaque build-up and tooth decay. It is recommended that you visit your dentist at least twice a year to ensure good oral health.

Cleanings help address tarter and plaque build-up. During a cleaning, your hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque and tarter, especially in hard-to-reach areas, such as along the gum-line and between teeth. We’ll then polish your teeth using a gritty toothpaste and special toothbrush. We’ll also provide a professional flossing and finish up by applying a fluoride treatment.

At Southwest Dental Group, we know that oral cancer is a serious concern. That’s why we perform oral cancer screenings at every appointment. We watch out for the signs of oral cancer, including red or white patches on your mouth’s soft tissue, as well as lumps and bumps inside your mouth and neck. If we see any indications of oral cancer, we’ll be able to make recommendations for the next steps.

We know that oral care can sometimes be difficult to complete, especially for younger patients and patients with special care needs. We provide dental sealants to add protection to teeth with very deep pits and cracks, including molars. Sealants are made of a composite resin mixture and are applied to teeth, then hardened with a special curing light. Sealants will help protect teeth for years, which is especially useful in pediatric patients.

Restorative Dentistry

Having broken, decayed, or missing teeth is extremely common, even for people with good oral health habits. However common, these issues can negatively affect self-confidence and oral health, so it’s important to address these issues quickly. Using restorative techniques, Southwest Dental Group can help restore your smile and confidence.

Dental Implants replace missing teeth, blending in with your natural teeth to restore form and functions. Implants are often used to support bridges and dentures, but they can stand by themselves, too. They are surgically placed and serve as a sturdy anchor for the replacement tooth. They are often made of titanium, but they can be made of other materials that are compatible with the human body. They are an excellent, long-lasting solution to restore teeth that are missing.

Cosmetic Dentistry

At Southwest Dental Group, we know that your smile is empowering. Our cosmetic services can improve the appearance and quality of your teeth. We are here to help give you a smile you’ll be eager to share!

You can get a whiter smile in just one visit with our in-office teeth whitening. Not only is it fast, but it’s also more effective because we only use professional-grade products. We also offer in-home whitening that uses trays that are custom fit to your mouth and utilizes an easy-to-use gel. Whether treating at-home or in the office, you’ll see results quickly and achieve the bright smile you deserve.

Bonding uses the tooth-colored composite resin used in fillings to correct cosmetic flaws. After applying the material to the tooth’s surface, we sculpt and shade it until it matches the color of your enamel. This treatment is suitable for fixing small cracks, lengthening or changing the shape of teeth, hiding stains, and filling small gaps. It’s ideal for making a few minor improvements over the course of a single visit.

Surgical Procedures

Our skilled staff performs oral surgeries with the utmost precision, care, and comfort. Surgical procedures are often completed with minimal, local anesthetic right in our office and are safer and more effective than ever before. Our staff operates with a gentle hand, so you don’t have to worry about a painful follow-up visit or difficult aftercare.

Periodontal Care

Bacterial infection in the gums surrounding the tooth is known as Periodontal or Gum disease. It can be treated effectively if caught early, so we recommend that patients visit us for check-ups every 6 month. If we catch it early, we can prevent damage to the bone structure.

Sometimes called deep cleaning or non-surgical periodontal therapy, Scaling and Root Planing is usually the first step to treating periodontal disease. It helps stop the progression of the disease and will help keep it under control in the future. SRP treatments start with removing hard calculus deposits and debris from below the gum line. Often, the treatment doesn’t need to continue from there, but in more severe or progressed cases, there may be more treatment needed. Your comfort is important to us, and though most patients don’t experience discomfort during this procedure, we can discuss options for numbing.
