Preventive dentistry should be everyone’s primary concern when it comes to their oral hygiene. Preventing an oral health issue from occurring is far more valuable than fixing issues after they have already happened. One of the best ways to prevent oral health concerns from arising is with regular cleanings and examinations performed at least twice a year.

We understand that accidents happen, and when they do we are prepared to fix them! Restorative dentistry is concerned with restoring teeth that have been damaged or lost in both form and function. Even the best oral health routines can miss certain spots on your teeth, resulting in a cavity. To restore a cavity, we have dental fillings and even inlays and onlays that we can place. Crowns are a great way to restore teeth that have been majorly affected by either decay or physical trauma. Dental bridges and implants are a wonderful way to replace missing teeth. No matter what the issue is, we can fix it with restorative dentistry.
A crown is a covering that will wrap and protect the entire surface of a tooth, allowing it to look and function just like the original tooth. Crowns work to strengthen the tooth while protecting the existing structure, extending the life of the tooth longer than it would be with a filling or another restoration.
Missing teeth can cause not only pain and discomfort when trying to eat or speak but can cause immense stress when trying to find the proper procedure to remedy the situation. Everwell Dentistry is here to help you find the very best fit for your unique circumstances.

Bacterial infections anywhere in your body are problematic, with your gums it can cause significant reduction of support for your teeth. We can help you achieve healthier gums, meaning firmer teeth.
The treatment of periodontal, or gum, disease begins with removing the source of the infection. This is commonly done through a basic or deep dental cleaning with our professional hygienist. The hygienist will remove bacteria-filled plaque, calculus, and tartar, along with any other debris that is irritating the gums. This cleaning process is known as scaling which is followed by the smoothing of the roots through root planing.
Gum disease is not enveloped in a singular event but can occur again and again around different teeth and on either arch. We work to keep infection at bay while also providing the education, tips, and information on tools that can help.
A blood pressure screening is typical before treatment. Your blood pressure is used to assist in determining the correct level of dosage for a local anesthetic and is a helpful diagnostic tool.

Your jaw joint, known as the temporomandibular joint, is the hinge that opens and closes your jaw. It is used constantly throughout the day when speaking, eating and even breathing. If this joint comes out of alignment, either slightly or drastically, the discomfort can range from slight tired feeling in the joint to the inability to open or close without severe pain. Trauma to the joint can cause facial pain and even migraines. We can help.
Facial trauma can include a wide range of problems including gashes to the soft tissue, a tooth being knocked out, or the fracture of bone. The most common causes of trauma can occur from engaging in sports, outdoor activities, vehicle accidents or an act of violence. If you have experienced facial trauma, we can help.
A mouthguard can protect your teeth when playing sports.

Radiography, also known as x-rays, is the best tool any dentist could have. This is because it allows us to see areas of the mouth that are otherwise hidden, including the roots of the teeth and the tissue that surrounds them. Digital x-rays are a newer version of radiography, it allows us to see larger images, more clearly and with much less radiation. Panoramic images offer us a 3D image, that shows the depth of space, giving us a complete picture.
Laser detection of cavities allows us to find cavities that we previously unseen, often that means tiny cavities that are just beginning to grow.

Part of your annual checkup is the assessment of decay present in your mouth. This helps us predict the health of your mouth and directs us in our discussion and guidance for you. There are steps we can take including providing fluoride treatments, dental sealants, more regular cleanings with our hygienist to help.
Dental sealants are a great way to protect your most vulnerable teeth. Molars are designed to break up and gnash food, but along with their design are spots that make it more difficult to remove food and plaque. Sealants are used to fill in these areas with a protective coating, serving as a barrier between the tooth and debris. Sealants have been proven to significantly reduce the incidence of decay and cavity development.
The enamel of our teeth is very strong, but they do suffer wear and tear from constant use. Though they feel solid, if you were to look at a tooth under a microscope you would see that they are made of many shards of mineral material, which do break off when used. We can help mineralize and rebuild your teeth with fluoride therapy.
If you are feeling pain or sensitivity in a tooth or other area of your mouth, we can help. We can evaluate the area and determine treatment options to help.
Orthodontics is important, patients are often aware of the look of their teeth, but we are also concerned with the positioning of your teeth. Orthodontics allow your teeth to function in harmony; straighter teeth mean improved chewing, improved speech, and better oral health. There are options for correcting your teeth; we are happy to discuss them.
Invisalign™ is an orthodontic device that allows you to discreetly correct the positioning of your most visible teeth. Instead of the traditional wires and brackets, Invisalign™ is a plastic device that fits over your teeth. It is clear and removable. Invisalign™ is a great option for patients who fear the look of braces, play sports, or play a musical instrument.
