Dental Examination
It is necessary to have a periodic exam with your dentist and bitewing x-rays once per year. A Panoral or Full Mouth series of x-rays is recommended every 5 years. A dental exam can find noticeable signs of decay, but x-rays are also very important.
X-rays
Dental x-rays can detect early signs of decay, abnormalities, bone loss associated with gum disease, tumors and infections. It is best to identify and treat these issues as soon as possible, before they become a problem.

Teeth Cleaning
Panther Hollow Dental Lodge stresses the importance of continuing dental care. A prophy, or dental cleaning, with your dental hygienist is recommended every 6 months.
Fluoride Treatment

Fillings
Resin Composite
Filling material ranges from composite resin, silver amalgam, porcelain, etc. A filling may also be placed following a root canal.
Veneers
Veneers are similar to a crown and the procedure is close to the same. A veneer is mostly used for cosmetic purposes.
Crowns
Dental Crowns (also commonly referred to as a "cap") are placed on a tooth that cannot be restored by a filling due to a fracture of a tooth or existing filling, or due to extensive decay.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
A patient could be treated by antibiotics to help control the infection temporarily, but a root canal is necessary to remove the infected and necrotic tissue. Without the root canal, the infection will return. The procedure time depends on the tooth and how many roots it has and may take two visits.

Deep Cleaning
It can be exacerbated by illness or disease that compromises the immune system. Treatments of periodontal disease depending on the severity and can be surgical or nonsurgical. Nonsurgical treatment (scaling and root planning) is treated by our hygienists.

Dentures
Partial dentures are similar to a full denture except that it only replaces one or more teeth on an arch and connects onto existing, stable teeth.

Dental Implants
The first step is replacing the tooth root with a small titanium implant into the jaw bone. Once the bone integrates and is well healed, the implant is fitted with an abutment and then eventually fitted with a crown.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Continuing education and community service are important to Dr. Duston. She recently completed the curriculum at the Dawson Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida, and has completed courses at the Spear Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona. She volunteered as a restorative dentist at the Mission of Mercy, and she has served as past president of the Monadnock Dental Society in New Hampshire. She is proficient in all aspects of general dentistry, and particularly enjoys oral surgery, restorative, and cosmetic procedures.
