A routine dental exam and tooth cleaning is essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. If you have not been to see a dentist in a while, now is the time. Make an appointment with ease by clicking on one of the appointment buttons to the left.

Crowns Crowns are used to replace tooth structure due to fractures, trauma, and decayed teeth. Our dentists also place crowns on teeth that have been weakened by root canal treatment and old fillings. We match the color of crowns to the surrounding teeth.

Examples of Dental Implants

Dental Implants - Alternative to Crowns & Dentures Dental implants are the replacement of a missing tooth or teeth. Implants have become a very popular alternative to replace missing teeth with several advantages over bridges. An implant can be placed in the bone. A crown is fabricated to fit the implant and function as a permanent tooth.

Root Canals Root canals are done when the nerve of the tooth is affected by decay or trauma. Our dentists use the new rotary system which makes root canals painless and extremely comfortable for our patients. Root canals are followed with a buildup and a crown to protect the tooth for the long term.

Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing Our Plano dentist office maintains patient standard of care by detecting and treating mild to early cases of gum disease. Mild to early gum disease is treated through non-surgical procedure which includes scaling and root planing, irrigation, and possible placement of antibiotics. This can be done in our Plano dentist office. Any advanced cases of gum disease are referred to our highly qualified periodontist.

Composite Tooth-Colored Fillings Composites are long lasting and blend in with the color of your teeth. We have eliminated silver fillings from our dentist practice due to the mercury content. Composites can go in any tooth, making it look beautiful and natural. These fillings also allow us to protect and maintain your remaining tooth structure by chemically bonding the composite to your tooth.

Enteral Conscious Sedation Our Plano dentist office offers sedation to our patients who experience dental anxiety by providing them with a comfortable and relaxing dental appointment. Sedation is achieved by taking a pill one hour prior to the scheduled appointment.
