Dental Procedures MilwaukieDental work has a big influence not only on aesthetics, but also on your overall oral health. Here at Michael Regan, DMD Family, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry, our team of specialists is ready to help you gain the smile you deserve. Furthermore, we are happy to help you prevent, eliminate, or control any oral disease that may put it in danger. Preventive CarePreventive dentistry encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at preventing tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, and similar issues in their early stages. By doing this, we avoid what would be a lengthy treatment otherwise, and the many problems they may cause. Because there is a strong link between dental and general health, you are not only taking care of your mouth with preventive dentistry, but your overall well-being as well. Restorative DentistryA dental restoration is the repair of a portion of the tooth that has been destroyed, cracked, worn, or critically damaged by an impact or pathology. This type of dentistry can employ a variety of techniques, such as crowns, inlays, onlays, and most commonly, fillings. Deciding which of these methods will be used to restore a tooth ultimately depends on how much a tooth needs to be restored. While crowns are a complete replacement of the biting surface of teeth, the latter involve different amounts of restorative materials molded in the teeth in order to recover their original structure. Cosmetic DentistryCosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of dental treatments aimed at improving the overall look of your teeth and smile. Dental aesthetics improve the color of the teeth, their location, and their form, resulting in attractive and natural smiles. Misaligned or gapped teeth are examples of problems that can be addressed. These may be corrected with braces, which will make your smile more symmetrical. Stains on the teeth are another situation that can be remedied. These stains are usually caused by changes or degeneration of the enamel, and can be treated with a professional cleaning or whitening. Sedation DentistryAt our office, the comfort of our patients is a priority. For this, our team of professionals is trained to aid those who may prefer to go through a procedure under sedation, whether it is Mild Sedation, Oral Conscious Sedation, or General Anesthesia. We will be more than glad to help you understand which of those will work best for your case, and answer any questions you may have before any procedure. Invisalign®Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that employs a removable splint to provide light pressure to the teeth, make tooth motions, and accurately move them progressively to correct the alignment of your teeth. It is constructed of a moldable substance that prevents discomfort in the mouth, and as its name implies, it is designed to blend with your smile and be unnoticeable. Invisalign is a solid alternative to braces for those who are looking to align their teeth without affecting their personal image. Gum DiseaseGum disease is the infection of the tissues and bones that support the teeth, caused by plaque and tartar accumulation. It usually causes your gums to be red, swollen, and minimally bleed. Left untreated, gum disease could develop into periodontitis, which requires special attention to be controlled. Furthermore, it may lead to gum recession and tooth loss at its most advanced state. Treatments for gum disease usually consist of scaling and root planing, as well as regular periodontal maintenance. Because teeth are one of the most essential aspects of face harmony, dental treatment has a significant psychological and visual impact. We can provide you with a range of treatments at Michael Regan, DMD Family, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry to help you attain the health and beauty level that you desire.
