The most important part of good oral health is routine, preventative care. We place a high importance on prevention, and are proactive in our cleanings by evaluating for early signs of decay. With early detection and routine bacterial control, we are able to help you protect your teeth and gums for years to come.
If you have lost teeth, Dental Implants may be the answer. Implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth, giving you the ability to smile with confidence. They consist of a titanium cylinder implanted into the jaw, so the bone grows around the base of the implant. Implants can also anchor dentures or oral appliances.
Our philosophy is to always save teeth when possible. In situations of extreme decay, it can be necessary to complete a root canal before restoring the tooth. During this procedure, Dr. Takach will remove damaged tissue within the tooth and then seal the area. A root canal properly performed is a comfortable experience, and your tooth will look and function normally in the future.
