- Improve self-esteem: Dental implants give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
- Improve oral health: Dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does, because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, this allows easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
- Durability: Implants are very durable and will last many years. with good care, many implants will last a lifetime.
- Convenience: Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
Root Canals
Root Canals are one of the most common dental procedures with nearly 15 million performed every year. About 95% of root canals are successful and do not require retreatment. A root canal cleans out the inside of the tooth, removing all decay and diseased tissue, this part of the tooth is called the pulp.
Dr. Pike performs this procedure very routinely. You will be numb just like any other procedure and therefore to most people’s surprise, it is a rather quick (Longest appt time is an hour) and pain free experience. If there is ever a situation where an endodontist is required such as a calcified canal, retreatment, etc… we will be happy to refer you to the correct specialist.
TMJ Treatments
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a small joint formed where the lower part of the skull meets the upper portion of the lower jaw. This joint permits the opening, closing and sideward movement of the jaw. Patients with TMJ disorder experience both joint and muscle problems. Finding out the cause of the TMJ problem is important because the cause guides the treatment. Causes can be many such as an improper bite, injury to teeth, grinding teeth, displacement or dislocation of the disk that is located between the jawbone and the fossa, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, or a hole or perforation in the disk. Depending on the severity of the disorder, a nonsurgical or surgical approach may be warranted. We also have a specialist we can refer you to for more complicated TMJ problems.
