What We Treat

Sleep apnea is a medical condition that stops you from breathing, regularly, while asleep. Breathing may stop 20-30 times per hour, which impacts your overall health because it prevents your brain from getting to the REM cycle of sleep and leaves you feeling drowsy during the day. Some symptoms of sleep apnea include tiredness, lack of concentration, irritability, poor memory, and headaches. If you are struggling with any of these symptoms, give us a call today to schedule an appointment to discuss possible sleep apnea solutions.

Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth that appear in our mouths, and usually erupt between our late teens to early twenties. Some patients will get their wisdom teeth without any problems, however, most patients have them removed before they have a chance to become impacted and cause issues with our other teeth or jawbone. If a tooth is impacted, it is most likely under the gums, embedded in the jawbone. If that is the case, we would need to remove a portion of the tissue covering the area, and then proceed to extract one tooth at a time. Recovery depends on your oral health and to what extent your wisdom teeth are impacted. If you have swelling, pressure, jaw discomfort, or need a dentist for wisdom tooth pain, our office can help determine whether wisdom teeth removal is needed.

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is the excessive grinding of the teeth, clenching of the jaw, or both. This condition often happens during sleep but can also occur during the day. Some symptoms related to teeth grinding include jaw aches, headaches, worn teeth, cracked teeth, and sensitive teeth. If bruxism is left untreated, it can cause long-term oral health issues such as tooth wear, cracks, damaged restorations, and jaw pain from grinding. If you are looking for teeth grinding treatment or treatment for teeth grinding at night, our first recommendation may be a custom night guard. If the grinding continues, we may recommend further evaluation to help prevent additional damage to your teeth and oral health.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a strong smell that remains in the mouth for an extended period. If you are struggling with bad breath that won’t go away, it may be caused by dental issues, mouth infections, dry mouth, smoking, gum disease, or trapped bacteria. Bacteria may become lodged between the teeth and along the gumline, which is why we recommend a consistent dental routine that includes brushing, flossing, and mouthwash. Good oral hygiene and mouth care can help remove food debris and bacteria before they contribute to odor, plaque, or infection.

Misaligned teeth, also known as malocclusions, include crowded teeth, crossbite, overbite, underbite, and open bite. These alignment concerns can affect your bite, oral health, comfort, and smile appearance. Misaligned teeth may be hereditary, but they can also be caused by prolonged pacifier use, prolonged bottle feeding, injuries that affect the jaw, impacted teeth, or poor dental care. If you are wondering how to fix misaligned teeth, our team can evaluate your bite and recommend misaligned teeth treatment based on your needs. Treatment options may include clear aligners, braces, tooth removal when necessary, or other approaches designed to support better function and appearance.

Bleeding gums are a common symptom of gum disease. In some cases, bleeding gums may be caused by brushing too aggressively or wearing dentures that do not fit properly. However, frequent bleeding often comes from gingivitis, inflammation, or infection along the gumline. This can happen when bacteria stick to the teeth and lead to plaque buildup on teeth. If plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar, irritate the gums, and increase the risk of periodontitis. Common signs of gum problems include sensitive gums, swelling, redness, bleeding when brushing or flossing, and tenderness.

Cavities are areas of teeth that have become decayed, resulting in holes in our teeth. Cavities are caused by the buildup of plaque, a substance that sits on our teeth and is made of bacteria, saliva, and food particles. Although cavities begin small, they may become larger if they are left untreated. Cavities are difficult to see because most do not show pain in the beginning, however, by visiting the dentist, cavities can be caught early using digital X-rays.

Cold sores are small blisters that form near the mouth and are commonly connected to the herpes simplex virus. Cold sores can be complex because some patients carry the virus without having regular breakouts, while others may experience them more often due to stress, illness, or a weakened immune system. Symptoms may include burning sensations on the lip or face, raised red blisters, fever, and muscle aches. If you are experiencing recurring sores or discomfort around the mouth, a cold sore treatment dentist can help evaluate the area and discuss treatment options.

Gum disease often begins as gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums. This commonly happens due to poor oral hygiene and can result in swollen gums, bleeding when brushing or flossing, and discomfort. If gingivitis is not treated, it can progress into gum disease, also known as periodontitis. As gum disease becomes more advanced, the gums may become swollen, red, tender, infected, and begin to recede. Other signs that gum disease treatment may be needed include persistent bad breath, loose teeth, gum sensitivity, and gum infection symptoms.

Gum recession is a condition where the gums begin to pull away from the teeth, exposing the tooth roots. Gum recession can be connected to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, plaque buildup on teeth, hormonal changes, genetics, or untreated gum inflammation. Exposed tooth roots can increase the risk of sensitivity, decay, and further gum problems. If you are wondering how to treat gum recession, our office can evaluate the cause and recommend gum recession treatment to help prevent additional oral health complications.

A healthy smile is important to many patients. Over time, you may notice that your teeth start to become stained or discolored. Stained teeth may be caused by lifestyle habits, foods, drinks, poor dental hygiene, medications, tobacco use, and natural aging. If you have spots on teeth or stained or discolored teeth, our team can determine whether discoloration is caused by surface staining, enamel changes, decay, or another concern. We offer stained teeth treatment options designed to help improve the appearance of your smile.

Tooth sensitivity can be uncomfortable and may happen when you eat or drink hot, cold, sweet, or acidic items. If you experience tooth sensitivity, it may be a sign of cavities, root exposure, gum recession, worn enamel, or cracks in the teeth. If you are wondering what to do for tooth sensitivity, it is important to schedule a dental appointment so the cause can be identified. Our team provides tooth sensitivity treatment for patients with sensitive teeth, tooth pain and sensitivity, and other concerns related to discomfort.
