Dental Examination
Oral exams are thorough diagnostic assessments of your entire mouth, including the throat, tongue, and oral tissues. They are important because your oral health can say a lot about your overall health, and many health problems first appear as signs or symptoms in the mouth.
X-rays
X-rays allow your dentist to see past the soft tissues of the body and take a deeper look inside for a detailed image of the jawbone, roots, and teeth. With this thorough look at aspects of your oral health that are invisible to the naked eye, dental X-rays are useful in detecting both minor and major dental issues, from cavities to tumors.

Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleanings are an opportunity to ensure that you maintain optimal oral health, and they are an affordable, effective way to prevent more costly and extensive restorative procedures. Performed twice a year (recommended) by a qualified dental hygienist, dental cleanings are usually completed during regular dental checkups. By removing built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth and bacteria from hard-to-reach places, professional teeth cleanings help keep myriad dental issues at bay, including gum disease and tooth decay.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a powerful naturally-occurring mineral that can help strengthen the enamel (outer surface) of your teeth. Though there are different techniques and applications, most fluoride treatments are applied as a gel or paste directly onto the teeth, leaving them stronger and more resistant to decay. Your mouth may feel sticky afterward and your hygienist will give instructions on when you can eat or drink following the application.
Dental Sealants
Cavities in baby teeth are often indicators of what to expect in adult teeth. If a child is prone to decay or other dental problems, this may be a signal for the dentist to take extra precautions like fluoride treatment or dental sealants.

Fillings
Pros – Metal is the most durable option, while gold fillings can last decades. They are a great option for cavities located in the molars. A silver filling is also the most affordable option.
Resin Composite
Composite Resin Fillings – These fillings are made using an epoxy material infused with silica or ceramic. These additives increase the durability and strength of the epoxy.
Veneers
Dental veneers are a simple cosmetic procedure that can turn a smile you’re less than proud of into one you’re confident to show. Perhaps your teeth are smaller than you’d like or they’re discolored from years of stains. No matter what’s keeping you from smiling brighter, veneers can help.
Crowns
Crowns are a restorative option that can help improve the appearance and function of your smile. Crowns are placed over damaged, misshapen, or heavily stained teeth to help provide additional support, a more even biting surface, or just a more pleasant aesthetic.
Bridges
Is a prosthetic device used to fill a gap that is made of an artificial tooth–or several artificial teeth–and attached to neighboring natural teeth using crowns. A dental bridge is not permanent, instead resting on top of the gumline.
Dental Bonding
Damaged teeth can often be repaired with treatment like root canals, crowns, or dental bonding. However, if you have sustained a severe dental injury that has exposed or affected the pulp of your tooth, the tooth may not be repairable. Similarly, if you wait too long to treat a damaged tooth, decay and infection can set in, making it nearly impossible to save the tooth.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a procedure in which the dental pulp (the tissue, nerves, and blood vessels inside the tooth that surround the root) is removed. Root canal treatment is usually only necessary when the pulp has become infected, abscessed, or the tooth is decaying. While root canals have a scary reputation, advances in technology and procedure have dramatically reduced the pain and discomfort associated with them; often, the pain from the abscessed tooth is much greater than anything from the procedure itself. And...
Apicoectomy
Apicoectomy. This procedure uses different methods to achieve a similar result. Rather than drilling through the tooth, the dentist will expose the tooth roots by peeling back a small flap of the gum, removing the very tip of the root and sealing it off. This method may be used to avoid removing the previously installed crown.

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
Oral health problems affect millions of people each year of all ages and for varying reasons. Many of those with severe tooth decay, gum disease, and multiple missing teeth will turn to dentures as an oral health solution to preserve their health and their quality of life. Dentures are custom-made artificial gums and teeth designed to replace teeth that have been lost or removed due to age, infection, or injury. An affordable option for patients with extensive tooth loss, including large gaps between missing teeth, dentures help support the bones and tissue of the facial structure, allow for a healthy and varied diet, and restore a full, beautiful smile.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are metal inserts that provide stability for replacement teeth. Dental implants may be needed for teeth that have extensive damage or decay and need to be extracted or for teeth that have fallen out on their own.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Most patients will wear braces anywhere from 1-2 years depending on their particular orthodontic needs. However, braces are unique to every individual, so some people with severe malocclusions may need to wear them longer and may also require additional therapies or treatment, such as oral surgery, extractions, spacers, expanders, positioners or retainers.
Flap Surgery
. Flap surgery is common for patients with more advanced stages of periodontitis and gum disease, specifically to reduce the depth of the periodontal pockets.
Tooth Extractions
Regardless of the reason, nearly all tooth extractions consist of removing both the tooth and the root and then either filling the remaining socket with an artificial tooth, letting the socket heal (in wisdom teeth removal), or allowing the adult tooth to erupt properly (if baby teeth were pulled).

Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in alignment and occlusion irregularities of the teeth. When your teeth are crooked or your bite isn’t lining up, orthodontists–dentists who have an additional three years of training on top of traditional dental school–have the knowledge and solutions to make sure your smile is not only confident but healthy and functional as well.
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
Clear aligners are a form of orthodontic treatment that provides the same level of effectiveness of traditional metal braces but with more comfort, convenience, and discretion. Clear aligner treatment consists of a personalized plan using a sequence of custom-fitted plastic trays to slowly move uneven teeth into their proper alignment.

Teeth Whitening
With teeth whitening treatment from Castle Dental, you can make the best first impression with a dazzling smile. Castle Dental offers take-home and in-office teeth whitening treatments that can brighten your teeth up to 10 shades whiter, removing a lifetime of stains and aging from your smile in a single appointment at one of our offices.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain or composite resin that are placed directly on forward facing teeth, and they are just one of the cosmetic dentistry options offered at Castle Dental to make your smile look its best.
General Dentistry
One of the easiest ways patients can save money is by taking advantage of coupons or promotions running at their closest Castle 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.
