Full Service General Dentistry
Check Ups, X-Rays, and Consultations
Every patient that sets foot in the door of our modern clinic can take advantage of our state-of-the-art digital x-ray system. These high-quality digital images provide Dr. Socias with the tools to evaluate and plan your comprehensive dental care. Dr. Socias consults with every patient and formulates a plan for your short and long-term dental treatment needs. We recommend that all of our patients have a regular check-up every six months.
Cleaning & Hygiene
Our professional staff will provide comprehensive cleaning and polishing to remove unwanted plaque. Dental sealants can be applied in many patients to prevent cavities and decay. Regular cleanings are essential to maintaining a healthy smile. Perhaps more important is the care you take of your own teeth between visits. Brushing twice daily, flossing daily, avoiding smoking, and proper nutrition can help you maintain your oral health. We advise patients on proper oral care practices and techniques.
Fillings
Composite or tooth-colored fillings are used to repair defects or decay in teeth. Our clinic uses these tooth-colored fillings exclusively. These fillings are both durable and provide a great esthetic result as compared to metal (amalgam) fillings that are becoming less popular.
Crowns & Bridges
A crown caps a tooth or dental implant, and is bonded to the tooth. Crowns are often needed when the restoration is too extensive for a filling or in conjunction with a root canal. Crowns are durable, extend the life of a decayed tooth, and provide great esthetic benefits as well. A bridge, sometimes called a fixed partial denture, spans the space of multiple teeth that have been removed. A bridge is an esthetically pleasing and practical solution that helps maintain your smile and bite.
Dental Implants
We currently work with an outstanding oral surgeon to provide dental implants for patients interested in this treatment. A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth that is surgically implanted into the bone beneath the gums. Implants can be a durable and esthetically appealing solution for patients needing to replace teeth in certain circumstances.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures are removable prosthetics that allow people who have lost some or all teeth a functioning and beautiful smile.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy is often necessary to treat an infected tooth. The root canal helps to eliminate the infection, protect the interior of the tooth, and prevent further decay. The treatment consists of accessing the internal structures of the tooth, filing away the infection, and then capping the restoration with a dental crown. The result is a healthier and esthetically pleasing tooth.
