Dental Examination
As any medical professional will say, prevention is always the best medicine when it comes to your health. Oral exams are an important preventative measure that helps your dentist monitor your oral health and identify any areas of concern. By catching them early, your dentist can recommend appropriate treatment to keep minor problems like cavities or gingivitis from progressing into larger health issues like tooth decay, bone deterioration, and gum disease.

Dental Examination
As any medical professional will say, prevention is always the best medicine when it comes to your health. Oral exams are an important preventative measure that helps your dentist monitor your oral health and identify any areas of concern. By catching them early, your dentist can recommend appropriate treatment to keep minor problems like cavities or gingivitis from progressing into larger health issues like tooth decay, bone deterioration, and gum disease.
X-rays
Dental X-rays are just one of the many dental care services offered at Monarch Dental. We use state-of-the-art imaging equipment and machines to help diagnose problems and give you a better overall picture of your oral health. In addition to including dental X-rays as part of an annual exam, Monarch Dental provides all of the comprehensive services you and your family need to keep a healthy smile, from preventative treatments to restorative and cosmetic procedures.

Teeth Cleaning
Proper oral hygiene at home, such as regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash, is only part of ensuring your teeth are clean and healthy. A healthy smile also requires regular visits to a dentist or dental hygienist for professional teeth cleaning. These visits usually occur twice a year and give your dentist the opportunity to assess your overall oral health. This often includes removing any built-up bacteria, plaque, and tartar from your teeth as well as checking for any signs of potential health concerns.
Fluoride Treatment
Sensitive teeth that could be irritated by the strong chemicals used in professional teeth whitening. You may need to reduce some of your sensitivity first with measures like fluoride treatments or using sensitivity toothpaste.
Dental Sealants
Identify and assess previous dental restorations like fillings, sealants, crowns, implants, bridges, or root canals and examine your teeth for signs of damage or decay.
Space Maintainers

Fillings
Metal fillings, while the most noticeable, are also the most durable. Silver fillings typically last between 10 and 15 years, while gold fillings can last a lifetime. Because these metals are so easy to see in the mouth, though, they are typically chosen as a filling for back teeth, which are harder to see when you smile. Typically, metal amalgams are also the cheapest option, adding to their allure. With the exception of gold and silver fillings, most metal amalgams are a blend of several metals.
Resin Composite
As the name implies, dental fillings are used to fill in part of a tooth that has been damaged by decay or worn away by trauma. Restoring the tooth to its original integrity helps prevent any future damage, which can make sure you don’t lose the tooth in the future. Traditionally, fillings were made from metal. But today, materials like metal amalgam, porcelain, and composite resin are all available for a more natural look.
Veneers
If the smile you want isn’t the smile you want to show the world, dental veneers from Monarch Dental can help fix small, cosmetic imperfections such as chips, stains, gaps, or discolorations.
Crowns
What you can do: Hold the tooth by the crown and avoid touching the tooth by the roots, since this could expose the root to bacteria and cause an infection. You can use cold water to clean the tooth off, but don’t dry it, and you can rinse your mouth with saltwater to keep the exposed socket clean. Place the tooth in a glass of milk until you can take it with you to the dentist. You can also use Save-a-Tooth solution, which is available in most pharmacies or grocery stores.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a dental prosthesis, often made of porcelain, that is cemented onto your gums after your extraction site has fully healed. Dental bridges are customized to you and provide the structure and support your mouth needs while preventing further infections to your other natural teeth.
Dental Bonding
Although veneers are more resistant to staining than other cosmetic options like dental bonding, they can fade over time. Regular dental cleanings provide a good opportunity for your dentist to polish and brighten the veneers, removing any stains or discolorations.

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a procedure that takes place when the tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth become infected or abscessed. Inside every tooth, there is a collection of living material called the dental pulp, which contains nerves, connective tissues and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected, a pocket of pus will begin to form beneath the tooth and can cause mild to severe pain. Some reasons a tooth may become infected include injury, genetics or poor dental hygiene. No matter the cause, a proper root canal treatment is essential to restore a healthy and pain free smile.
Apicoectomy
There is another procedure called an apicoectomy in which the roots are accessed through a small flap in the gums (in order to prevent damage to the newly placed crown.) The remaining infection and the very tip of the tooth’s roots are removed and new seals are placed.

Deep Cleaning
Spray, scrub, wipe repeat. It’s our new favorite sound. We’ve always been committed to the highest safety standards—but now deep cleaning is done before, during and after visits even in the lobby. Our teams are geared up (literally – watch the video) to sanitize equipment, chairs, tables, door handles, countertops etc. many times a day. And we don’t stop there. PPE (think masks, gloves, gowns, and face shields) is worn by everyone in the office. Even patients get to take part by keeping masks on at all times except when being treated and doing a good disinfecting rinse before and after care.

Dentures
Dentures are customized, removable dental prosthetics that replace missing or damaged teeth. Dentures stabilize and support the gum and jawline, ensuring the patient doesn’t develop additional health problems because of gaps or missing teeth. They are an affordable way to improve your smile and prevent future oral health problems with your jaw and oral tissue that can arise from missing teeth.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are small metal screws inserted into the gums and provide a base for artificial teeth replacing natural teeth that have either fallen out or been removed as a result of damage or decay.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Gum disease is preventable, and treating it as soon as possible can help protect your health and avoid costly procedures in the future. Simple things like routine cleanings, x-rays, and exams from Monarch Dental can go a long way toward preventing gum disease and preserving your quality of life. If you do develop more severe symptoms of gum disease, Monarch Dental can also help with periodontal and oral surgery treatment options, all in the same convenient location.
Flap Surgery
This procedure involves the dentist or periodontist (a dentist who specializes in treating gum disease) lifting the gums from the teeth and cleaning out any tartar, bacteria, and infected tissue. Once the gums and the tooth are cleaned thoroughly, the surgeon will sew the gums back into place around the teeth to heal.
Tooth Extractions
At Monarch Dental, we know tooth extraction can be stressful, and that none plans to be in a position where it needs to happen. Our team of trained, experienced, and compassionate staff and dentists are here with services and resources to help you every step of the way, from the decision to extract a tooth through the procedure itself, and even for any restorative treatment that comes after it.
Bone Grafting
If a tooth has deteriorated substantially as a result of gum disease, the tooth may need a bone graft. The new bone for the graft can come from another part of your body, a donor or fabricated bone material. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the deteriorated tooth after it has been thoroughly cleaned, allowing it to heal and grow healthily during the healing process.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating malocclusions, otherwise known as misalignments, crooked teeth, or bad bites. Orthodontists–or dentists with orthodontic training–are dentists who, in addition to completing dental school, have also completed three additional years of specialized study and a residency program to learn the physiological processes involved in safely and effectively shifting teeth and jaws.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment can benefit patients not only looking to cosmetically transform their smile, but also to enhance the health of their teeth. Using orthodontic treatment, patients can straighten their teeth which makes them much easier to clean, working as a way to prevent gum disease and cavities down the road. Choosing the right type of orthodontic treatment for you will depend on several factors, including your finances. Making the affordable choice to straighten your teeth doesn’t have to mean giving up other preferences such as visibility. Many patients are surprised to find how they can make the Invisalign treatment affordable.
Braces
While braces may be an old standby when it comes to straightening smiles, they’ve come a long way in how they improve the function and aesthetic of your teeth. With advancements in technique and technology, braces can do the same thing they’ve always done–using constant, gentle pressure to gradually move teeth and jaws into the proper alignment–but with better results and a better experience.

Teeth Whitening
Sometimes the smile that you have isn’t necessarily the smile that you want. Teeth that are stained, yellow, or just less-than-white aren’t necessarily unhealthy teeth, but they can make you feel self-conscious around others and less willing to show your full smile. Whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, and online teeth whitening kits can only whiten your teeth so much, leaving with you no other option than to hide what you have.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Achieving a straighter, healthier smile is easy and affordable with Monarch Dental. In addition to a comprehensive list of general, special, and cosmetic dentistry services, Monarch Dental also offers orthodontic treatment at many of our locations, either from an orthodontist or a dentist trained in orthodontic care. That means you and your family can receive all the oral health support you need in one convenient office. And, we make it affordable with a variety of payment options designed to fit any budget.
General Dentistry
One of the easiest ways patients can save money is by taking advantage of coupons or promotions running at their closest Monarch Dental locations. These are great opportunities to receive a reduced rate on a service you’d normally be scheduling. Each promotion can vary depending on the office in your area, so it’s always best to check and see which ways you can save. From general dentistry services to even cosmetic services, the type of care you’ve been wanting can be affordable.
