Dental Examination
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends at least two oral health exams per year, and we would love to have you here for those exams! Each exam is relaxing and comfortable, beginning with a review of medical history following a thorough inspection of your teeth. Regular visits help identify issues like cavities and gum disease, two things that can cause everything from general discomfort to gum disease and worse. Additionally, x-rays, oral cancer screenings, assessment of tooth wear and premature tooth contact in your bite, periodontal evaluations, and external jaw muscle inspection are also part of the robust examination. Luckily a twice-yearly comprehensive oral exam will help greatly reduce the chance of these problems. Get rolling on your journey to better oral health and schedule an appointment today.

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Were you aware the death rate for oral cancer is higher than cervical cancer? Additionally, of the more than 30,000 Americans who are diagnosed with oral cancer each year, about 25 percent are not tobacco users. When detected early, oral cancer is more treatable. For this reason The Centre for Contemporary Dentistry offers Vizilite oral cancer screening. Vizilite use makes early detection of oral cancer fast, easy, and pain-free. Typically, a Vizilite oral cancer screening is combined with a regular dental exam, after your dentist completes a visual examination. Our dental professionals want you to enjoy a long and healthy life, and early detection of oral cancer is one of many ways to help.

Veneers
A veneer is a special, conservative technique used to modify anything from a single tooth or an entire smile by changing the size, shape, color, or position of the teeth with a slight reduction of tooth structure. The minor external change made facilitates a major cosmetic difference with an advanced, strong, durable, and natural material bonded to the teeth. Veneers are permanent, and a complimentary consultation is highly recommended in order to review all of your options.
Crowns
The incredible technology behind the E4D crown machine allows for the creation of same-day crowns for qualifying teeth! Rather than taking multiple days off work and wearing a temporary crown, this CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing) digitally scans the affected area, allowing the state-of-the-art computer system to create a perfectly shaped crown. While this system may not be available in every situation, a simple review is all that is needed to create an action plan specifically tailored to your needs.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is one of the easiest and least expensive cosmetic procedures used to perfect a smile. There is no time spent waiting to get products back from a lab, local or general anesthesia is almost never required, and the amount of trauma to the area is kept to a minimum. The main goal is always to restore teeth to their proper shape and size, which will help improve the overall health and appearance. The process is used to fix a number of problems, including: Teeth that are decayed, cracked, or chipped, discoloration that is not responding to normal cleaning, closing gaps between teeth, changing shape or adding length to “short” teeth, and even protecting the root of a tooth that has been exposed by receding gums.

Root Canal Treatment
Possibly the most maligned dental procedure, root canal therapy is actually an extremely common process that can help save a tooth – and we have made them easy and painless! There are different issues that can cause infections within a tooth, but however it happens, a root canal is required to clean and seal the tooth. A CBCT scan is used to create a 3D image for efficient and precise cleaning of the tooth. The area is disinfected through the use of a special laser that is ten-times better at disinfecting than previous traditional and chemical processes alone. The entire root canal process can often be done in one visit. We’ve taken the fear out of the procedure. If you feel you may need a root canal, call us today!

Periodontal Surgery
Soft tissue therapy is the most common way to solve periodontal (gum) disease, but the problem persists, expect the latest and best technology in the industry on your side. A special periodontal laser system allows pinpoint accuracy in attacking the affected tissue around the tooth or teeth. Once the infected area is cleared away, the tooth itself is cleaned of all plaque and calculus, and the root is smoothed to prevent further buildup. Laser therapy is significantly less invasive than regular periodontal surgery and treatment can be delivered directly to the affected area while promoting important reattachment of gum tissue. On top of all the positives, overall healing times will be significantly faster following therapy!

Dentures
If you have ever been without even a single tooth for an extended period of time, you know how important it is to replace missing teeth. Aside from being potentially aesthetically unpleasing, teeth around untreated gaps can drift within gums, facial muscles can sag, and gums can recede down toward the jaw bone. Whether it’s replacing every tooth or closing a gap of a few teeth, full or partial denture sets can play a huge role in oral health. Dentures can improve your smile, renew confidence, and increase comfort while eating and speaking. Dentures are are easy to maintain, especially with regular checkups. Our dentists would love to review how exactly full or partial dentures can improve your smile – call us today!

Tooth Extractions
Bone Grafting
® process virtually eliminates the need for bone grafting in most patients, however, it may be required for patients with extreme bone loss in their jaws.

Orthodontics
Chronic migraine headaches can be debilitating, and have many different triggers that range from neurological disorders to stress and even food sensitivities. Pain emanating from the temporomandibular (TM) joint can be caused by injury, illness, and progressive strain, causing an uneven bite and undue pressure that can also trigger migraines. An examination of the TM joint and bite could be the beginning of a solution that finally relieves your migraines. After documenting your medical history, x-rays, and superficial assessment of the jaw muscles, a treatment plan can be built around the exact cause of the problem. If possible, treatment could include relieving pressure with a custom orthotic appliance, alignment of the bite using necessary orthodontics, or physical therapy.
Braces
Every oral health professional’s first goal is to protect your existing, natural teeth through any number of dental procedures. Sometimes there are instances where teeth simply cannot be saved - when this happens, the office is equipped with top-of-the-line equipment and ready to extract what’s necessary. There are many reasons why our clients, young and old, may require an extraction. Baby teeth may not be falling out when they need to, or there are extra teeth in the way of braces. Wisdom teeth may need removed for any number of reasons, or there could even be serious medical implications, and an extraction is required. No matter the reason, we will walk you through your extraction process from start to finish, explaining each procedure along the way.

Teeth Whitening
Life is better with options, like the two most efficient and successful ways to whiten teeth. You have the choice of infrared laser technology and the ZOOM! UV light system to help you achieve your teeth whitening goals. Laser therapy uses a beam of light aimed directly at the teeth that need attention. The laser activates a special bleach gel applied to the affected areas, creating a faster process with less post-procedure therapy. ZOOM! has a similar setup, instead whitening your entire smile at once rather than specific teeth. Both are significantly more effective than at-home solutions, and take a minimal amount of time.
