General Dentistry in Las Vegas
Led by the renowned Dr. Jennifer Cha, our team is committed to providing you with exceptional care that goes beyond just treating teeth.
Why Your Oral Health Matters ?
Did you know that your oral health is closely linked to your general health? Poor dental hygiene has been associated with various systemic health issues.
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Respiratory Infections
- Pregnancy complications
By prioritizing your dental health through regular general dentistry visits, you’re not just protecting your smile – you’re investing in your overall health and quality of life.
Our Comprehensive General Dentistry Services
At Dental Implant Center, we offer a full spectrum of general dentistry services to meet all your oral health needs. Our state-of-the-art facility, coupled with Dr. Cha’s expertise, ensures that you receive the highest quality care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Preventive Dental Care
Prevention is always better than cure. Our preventive care services are designed to keep your smile healthy and catch potential issues early.
Regular Dental Checkups and Cleanings
We recommend bi-annual dental checkups and cleanings to maintain optimal oral health. During these visits, we will:
- Perform a comprehensive oral examination
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup
- Polish your teeth for a brighter smile
- Screen for oral cancer
- Assess your gum health
- Take digital X-rays when necessary
Dental Sealants
Protect your teeth from decay with our dental sealant application. This thin, protective coating is especially beneficial for children and adults with deep grooves in their molars.
Fluoride Treatments
Strengthen your tooth enamel and prevent cavities with our professional fluoride treatments.
Restorative Dentistry
When dental issues arise, our restorative services are here to bring your smile back to its full function and beauty.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our fillings are made from a tooth-colored material that can be shaped and hardened in the mouth. They are often used to repair cavities or small fractures.
Root Canal Therapy
This procedure is used to treat a tooth that has become infected or damaged due to decay or trauma. It involves removing the infected pulp and sealing the root canal to prevent further infection.
Dental Crowns
Restore damaged or weakened teeth with our custom-made, durable dental crowns that look and function just like your natural teeth. They can be made from porcelain, metal, or a combination of materials.
Dental Bridges
Fill the gaps in your smile with our natural-looking dental bridges, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Dental Implants
These are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They can support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants provide a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth.
Periodontal Care
Periodontal disease, often referred to as gum disease, is a common dental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar, which can lead to inflammation, gum recession, and even bone loss. Periodontal services are designed to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease. These services typically include:
Professional Cleanings
Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which are the primary causes of gum disease. We use specialized tools to clean above and below the gumline.
Periodontal Probing
We measure the pockets between your teeth and gums to assess the severity of gum disease. Deeper pockets may indicate advanced gum disease.
Scaling and Root Planing
This procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from the tooth roots and smoothing the root surfaces to promote healing.
Soft Tissue Grafting
If gum recession has occurred, soft tissue grafting may be necessary to restore gum tissue and protect the tooth roots.
Periodontal Surgery
For severe cases of gum disease, periodontal surgery may be required to improve gum health and prevent tooth loss. This can involve bone grafting, flap surgery, or guided tissue regeneration.
Emergency Dental Care
Emergency dental care is a vital service that offers prompt treatment for severe dental problems. These situations often require immediate attention to prevent further complications and ensure your oral health.
Severe Tooth Pain
This can be a sign of infection, trauma, dental abscess, sinus infection, or gum disease.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
Accidents can cause teeth to fracture, which may require immediate repair.
Knocked-Out Teeth
If a tooth is completely dislodged, it's crucial to seek dental care as soon as possible.
Object Lodged in the Tooth
Foreign objects can become embedded in teeth, causing discomfort and potential infection.
Swollen Jaw or Face
This may indicate an infection or other serious oral health problem.
Remember: Early intervention is key when it comes to emergency dental care. Don’t hesitate to seek professional help at Dental Implant Institute if you experience any of the above symptoms.
