Services

From general dentistry and pediatric care to cosmetic dentistry, our goal is to provide our patients with quality dental care through our dedication to excellence. We believe healthy smiles and a sense of confidence go hand in hand. Maintaining a healthy outlook on life and a beautiful smile takes more than regular brushing. It requires periodic professional care. We specialize in the following to help you achieve the healthiest smile possible:

Preventative Care

Glen Brooke Dental specializes in general and pediatric dentistry to help patients prevent and maintain optimum dental health throughout their lives.

The dental hygienist or dentist uses specialized instruments to gently remove plaque and tartar deposits built up on the teeth over time. The instruments used during your cleaning are electric scalers (or ultrasonic instruments) and finer hand tools called scalers and curettes. Once all surfaces are smooth, the hygienist or dentist may polish your teeth using a slow-speed handpiece with a soft rubber cup that spins on end and applies prophylaxis paste. When appropriate, fluoride is applied to the teeth at the end of the cleaning.

We understand a child's first experience at the dentist can impact the future of their dental health. Pediatric appointments are designed to give kids a pleasant experience early on to help guide them towards a lifetime of good dental health. We see children as early as the age of one (or after the full eruption of the upper & lower four front teeth). We'll also work with the parent/legal guardian to create a preventive treatment plan that's right for the child.

Our children’s dental services include oral exams, fluoride treatments, sealants, tooth-colored fillings, and dental crowns. All pediatric appointments include a review of health history and current care, to review fluoride in water, use of supplements/vitamins, and heart conditions. We also introduce your child to our treatment room with a fun tour and explanation of technology and tools. After the appointment, your child will receive a goodie bag including a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, floss-aid, and a toy!

A parent/legal guardian is recommended to be in the room for information on the child's home care, diet, habits (finger sucking or use of pacifiers), and express any concerns regarding the child's dental health.

All new patients will receive a complete oral exam, using full mouth x-rays and a visual exam to evaluate your oral health. A complete oral cancer screening will be done to check for any lesions, swelling, or color changes which may indicate a problem area. The status of restorations will also be reviewed, and we’ll look for possible tooth decay and gum disease.

Restorative Dentistry

At Glen Brooke Dental, with the proper treatment, we can restore smiles and teeth function. We employ a variety of tools and techniques to repair cracked, worn, or decayed teeth. We also offer crowns and fillings to repair cavities and partial and complete dentures to replace missing teeth.

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, and complete dentures are used to replace all teeth. Dentures are custom-made to resemble natural teeth. The fabrication of a denture usually takes a few weeks and includes several appointments. Comfort in wearing dentures is the main priority, and adjustment appointments may be necessary for an ideal fit.

A filling is a dental restorative material used to restore the function, integrity, and shape of missing tooth structure typically caused by caries (decay) or external trauma. Amalgam (silver) fillings are resistant to wear but are dark in color, so they are not generally used in visible areas such as front teeth. Composite resins are matched to the same color as your natural teeth and, therefore, have a more natural appearance. They are bonded to your tooth. However, they can wear faster than amalgam fillings.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth. It covers the tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and improve its appearance. Dental crowns are permanently cemented into place. The tooth-crown unit that results is cared for and functions like any natural tooth. Crowns can be made out of porcelain, gold, or a combination of porcelain and metal alloy (porcelain fused to metal crowns).

Cosmetic Dentistry

The quality of your teeth can be improved and your smile can be designed with our cosmetic dentistry services. We can help align your teeth for both function and appearance using ClearCorrect. And, with our in-office or at-home teeth whitening kits, we can help you achieve the bright and healthy smile you deserve!

Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. It is the application of a tooth-colored resin material using a "bonding" agent and a high-intensity curing light. Dental bonding can usually be done in one visit unless multiple teeth are involved. It is less expensive than veneers and crowns and requires minimal removal of tooth enamel. However, bonding is not as strong as your natural teeth and other restorative procedures such as crowns and can chip easily. It is also not as stain-resistant as crowns.

Surgical Procedures

Oral surgeries are safer and more effective than ever before. Our skilled staff has extensive experience in surgical procedures uses the utmost precision and reliability. Tooth extractions and root canals are performed in our state-of-the-art facility and are often completed with minimal local anesthetic.

Root canal treatment (or endodontic therapy) is a treatment of the tooth aimed at clearing infection and protecting the tooth from future infections. Root canal treatment involves the complete removal of the pulp (nerve) of the tooth, cleaning, shaping, and decontaminating the hollow area, then filling that area to prevent any further infection. Sometimes deep decay or trauma to a tooth may cause the need for root canal treatment due to nerve damage and infection. Symptoms that the pulp (nerve) has become infected may include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain to biting or pressure, and a bad taste in the mouth. However, sometimes a tooth may be asymptomatic and still have infection present. Regular cleanings and check-ups are recommended to prevent and detect these types of problems early.

A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, tooth decay, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal post that a periodontist or oral surgeon surgically positions into the jaw. The implant needs time to heal, then is restored with an abutment and implant crown. An ideal candidate for a dental implant has healthy gum tissue, adequate bone in the jaw, is free of periodontal disease, and has excellent oral hygiene.
