DENTAL Services

At Midtown Family Dentistry, our caring and friendly dental team understands your concerns and anxiety, and will ensure your treatment is comfortable and relaxed. We carefully explain your dental treatment options and answer any questions you may have.

We offer all aspects and types of dental treatments, from common procedures such as fillings and tooth extractions, through to dental implants, cosmetic procedures and sleep apnea devices. Dr. Tersa Magus and her team are equipped to handle all your dental needs.

YOUR FIRST VISIT

A full medical history will be required and any medical conditions that can affect your treatment will be taken into consideration. A full dental examination will be performed examining the jaw, soft tissues, gums and teeth.We look for oral diseases such as cavities, gum disease and other infections. X-rays will be taken in order to complete the evaluation. Treatment options will be given and any concerns that you have should be discussed.

Baby teeth should never be neglected even thought they “will fall out”. They hold the space for the adult teeth and can fall out as late as 12 years. If cavities are left untreated in the baby tooth the adult tooth is at risk of permanent damage.

By the age of 2 ½ -3 years, your child should have their first visit to the dentist in order to start a good preventive program that will last a lifetime. At the first visit, we make sure that your child is comfortable with our team and their new surroundings. Evaluation of the teeth and gums are done along with a cleaning. Oral hygiene instructions are reviewed. It is never too early to establish good oral health and care. It is possible for your child to grow up cavity free with good professional help and dental knowledge.

Dental hygiene, also referred to as ‘a dental cleaning’, removes plaque, tartar (stone build up) above and below the gum line and stains to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy. Routine cleanings are the best way to prevent gum disease. Studies show that gum disease can be attributed to heart disease, diabetes, lung disease and low birth weight in pregnant ladies. Keeping your mouth healthy not only helps with oral health but improves overall general health.

Your dental hygienist may also provide fluoride to resist decay, scaling, polishing and/or restorations. They will assist you with proper brushing and flossing, nutrition counseling and treatment explanation.

A nice white smile can transform a person.  Cosmetic dental work on teeth can be done simply with a teeth whitening procedure, orthodontics or a comprehensive makeover using either porcelain (crowns, bridges and veneers), composite materials or implants to create a natural looking smile.

We take time to listen and discuss with you what you would like to see changed and present all options to you.  This will allow you to select the option best suited to you.

Dental bonding is a dental procedure in which a dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) and cures it with visible, blue light. This ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth and improves the overall appearance of teeth. Tooth bonding techniques have various clinical applications including operative dentistry and preventive dentistry as well as cosmetic and pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, and orthodontics.
Veneers are best for those who want the most natural result possible – to cosmetically fix worn, stained, crooked or discolored teeth fast.

A veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect the tooth’s surface from damage. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated. Full veneer crown is “A restoration that covers all the coronal tooth surfaces”. Laminate veneer in other hand is a thin layer that covers only the surface of the tooth and generally used for aesthetic proposes.

A crown is a dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Crowns can be made from many materials, which are usually fabricated using indirect methods. Crowns are often used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth.
In-Office or Take-Home Whitening or “bleaching” is a process that removes the internal stain. Stains can be due to ones genetics, aging or simply chemicals that you are exposed to daily like coffee, tea, smoking, and red wine. A weak bleaching agent is used to remove the stain form the pores of the tooth.

Custom trays are made that allow you to do this in a safe fashion in the comfort of your home. The procedure takes 10-14 days or nights after which you will see a brighter and whiter smile.

We recommend that all whitening treatments be done after a recent dental hygiene cleaning. If you do not remove all of the plaque from your teeth prior to treatment, there may be blotchy spots.

Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last teeth to erupt into the mouth and may not begin to emerge until late teens or early twenties. Most people get four wisdom teeth – one in each corner of the mouth. Not everyone develops wisdom teeth. However, those that do usually see their wisdom teeth push through the gums or remain impacted. Theses teeth may need to be removed if there is not enough space or if they are growing on an angle that could cause future problems. To determine if theses teeth need to be extracted a consultation with your dentist along with x-rays are needed.

It can take a long time for wisdom teeth to erupt and you may not even notice the harmful effects in your mouth until you experience sudden and severe discomfort. Cramped for room, impacted wisdom teeth grow out at odd angles or remain trapped below the gumline. Adjacent teeth can become prone to decay because of the unfavorable position of the wisdom teeth.

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Medication, close monitoring, and special cleaning techniques are sometimes enough to keep them for a while. But the only way you will know for sure is to have an examination done at our dental office as early as possible.

Snoring is the sound produced when air is obstructed in the back of the throat by loose tissue. In some cases the sound may be soft, but in other cases, it can be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. This is when you stop breathing during sleep. This can happen many times an hour during sleep. This can impact one’s life daily form simply being tired or moody to high blood pressure and risk of accidents.

Dental appliances can help by moving the lower jaw forward to open the passage of air. They are custom fitted upper and lower mouth pieces and can be manipulated rather easily to move the jaw more or less forward. Ask your dentist if you are a candidate for this appliance – an effective, non-invasive and reversible treatment.
