Mill Creek Dental offers various dental treatments that can address multiple dental problems. Patients with common problems like gum disease and tooth decay can maintain oral health with general dentistry. We recommend restorative density if patients have missing or damaged teeth.
Patients who are healthy but want to change their smile appearance benefit from cosmetic dental care. Dr. Ann Aduddell is dedicated to helping patients meet their goals with her dental services in Canton, TX.
Dental Services in Canton, TX
Our services include cosmetic, general, and restorative dental treatments that help patients maintain and improve their smiles. Explore more about each treatment we offer:
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dental treatments improve the aesthetics of the smile:
- Porcelain Veneers: Veneers, or porcelain shells, are tooth-shaped to fit comfortably. They are durable, easy to replace, and not easily stained.
- Teeth Whitening: Boost your self-confidence by taking control of brightening your smile with dentist-grade take-home kits.
General Dentistry
We provide preventative, general dental treatment to maintain the smile:
- Exams: A comprehensive dental exam is essential to boost overall health and will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit.
- Cleaning: Your personal home care, like brushing and flossing, plays an important role in achieving a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
- X-rays: Dental radiographs are preventative and diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam.
- Oral Cancer Screening: An oral cancer screening is a simple procedure to detect early signs of mouth/oral cancer. Talk to us during cleaning to get your screening.
- Dental Fillings: Silver, ceramic, or gold fillings are a safe service practiced in dentistry for over 100 years.
- Root Canals: Maintain your natural set of teeth when infection or inflammation has occurred with root canal therapy.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dental services renew the function of the smile:
- Dental Implants: Implants restore one or more teeth at the root.
- Dental Crowns: Prevent your weak, broken, or cracked teeth from breaking further by using crowns to help restore your smile.
- Partial and Complete Dentures: Dentures help retain the muscle tone of your neck and jawline by supporting your facial structure.
- Dental Bridges: Don’t let the gap in your teeth keep you from smiling. Bridges assist in filling a gap of one to two teeth in your smile.
- Periodontal Disease Treatment: If you have periodontal disease or gingivitis, several options for treatment are available, including deep cleaning of gums.
- TMJ Treatment: The temporomandibular joints are responsible for jaw movement and can tighten, causing uncomfortable pain. Talk to our team for the best solutions.
Dental Services FAQs
We have answers to some commonly asked questions about Mill Creek Dental’s dental services.
Can a cosmetic dentist fix cavities?
Yes, a cosmetic dentist can fix cavities using tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your teeth. They may also use inlays, onlays, or crowns to restore function and aesthetics. Cosmetic dentists focus on preserving appearance while effectively treating decay.
Can porcelain veneers be repaired if they crack or break?
Sometimes, we can repair minor cracks or chips in porcelain veneers with composite bonding. However, larger cracks or breaks may require us to replace the veneer entirely. Your dentist will assess the damage to determine the best option.
What kind of X-rays does a dentist do?
Dentists use several X-rays, including bitewing X-rays for detecting cavities between teeth, periapical X-rays to view the entire tooth and root, and panoramic X-rays to capture the entire mouth, including the jaw and sinuses. Cone-beam CT scans may also be used for detailed 3D images, often for implants or orthodontics.
Why do I get so many cavities even though I brush and floss?
Frequent cavities can occur due to genetics, a high-sugar or acidic diet, dry mouth, or improper brushing and flossing techniques. Sometimes, hygienists can also miss hidden areas between teeth or along the gumline during cleaning. A dentist can evaluate your habits and oral health to recommend adjustments or treatments like fluoride or sealants.
Do teeth have to be removed for dental implants?
If a damaged or decayed tooth cannot be saved, it must be extracted before placing a dental implant. In some cases, the implant can be placed immediately after extraction, depending on the condition of the bone and gums. Bone grafting may also be required to ensure proper support for the implant.
What is most commonly used in restorative dentistry treatment?
Common materials used in restorative dentistry include composite resin, porcelain, ceramic, and metals like gold or silver alloys. We use these materials for fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants to restore function and aesthetics. The choice depends on the location of the restoration and personal preferences.
