Smile Goals? We’ve Got You Covered

Want to avoid cavities, gum issues, and surprise dental bills? It all starts with consistent preventive care.

🦷 Why Routine Visits Matter:

  • Catch problems early before they become painful or expensive

  • Remove stubborn tartar and plaque that brushing alone can’t handle

  • Keep gums healthy and prevent periodontal disease

  • Control harmful bacteria and protect your overall health

  • Enjoy that fresh, just-cleaned feeling—your teeth will thank you!

🗓️ Every Six Months = Healthier Smiles

  • Think of it as a spa day for your teeth

  • Quick, easy, and essential for long-term oral (and total body) wellness

  • Clean teeth = brighter smile, better breath, and less stress later

Routine Dental Exam and Cleaning

Cavities—also known as tooth decay or dental caries—are permanently damaged areas in the enamel that need prompt treatment to protect your smile.

🦷 What You Need to Know:

  • Cavities form when plaque and bacteria erode the tooth’s outer layer

  • If left untreated, decay can spread deeper, leading to:

    • Pain or sensitivity

    • Infections or abscesses

    • Potential tooth loss

🛠️ How We Treat Cavities:

  • We remove the decayed portion of the tooth and restore its shape and function with a filling

  • Fillings are designed to blend naturally and function just like your original tooth

🧩 Filling Options:

  • Composite resin (tooth-colored) – ideal for visible areas

✅ Why Early Treatment Matters:

  • Catching cavities early can prevent more invasive procedures like:

    • Root canal therapy

    • Tooth extraction

  • Regular dental checkups are key to detecting decay before it becomes serious

Cavity Fillings

When the inner part of your tooth—called the dental pulp—becomes infected, Root Canal Therapy (RCT) can save your tooth and stop the pain.

🦷 Why You Might Need a Root Canal:

  • Untreated cavities that spread deep into the tooth

  • Cracked or injured teeth from trauma

  • Infections or abscesses inside the tooth

🚩 Common Symptoms of Infected Dental Pulp:

  • Persistent tooth pain

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold

  • Swollen or tender gums

  • A pimple or boil on the gums

  • Tooth discoloration

  • A tooth that feels loose

🔧 What a Root Canal Involves:

  • Removal of the infected or inflamed dental pulp

  • Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the inner tooth

  • Filling the root canal space to prevent future infection

👑 Protecting the Tooth:

  • After RCT, we typically recommend placing a dental crown

    • Adds strength

    • Restores function

    • Protects against future damage

Root Canal Therapy

Whether you're repairing a damaged tooth or replacing one that's missing, crowns and bridges offer durable, natural-looking solutions that restore both function and appearance.

👑 Dental Crowns: Strength & Protection

  • A crown (also called a “cap”) covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth

  • Common reasons for crowns:

    • After root canal therapy

    • To restore a broken, cracked, or worn-down tooth

    • To cover large fillings or cosmetic flaws

  • Custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth

🌉 Dental Bridges: Fill the Gap

  • A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth or crowns on either side

  • Helps:

    • Restore your bite and chewing ability

    • Prevent shifting of nearby teeth

    • Maintain your face’s natural shape

    • Improve speech and confidence

🦷 Materials & Technology:

  • Made from strong, natural-looking materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia

  • Designed using digital impressions and 3D technology for a precise, comfortable fit

Crowns and Bridges

At Midtown Dental Art, we always aim to preserve your natural teeth—but sometimes, removing a tooth is the healthiest choice for your smile.

🦷 What Is a Tooth Extraction?

  • A tooth extraction involves completely removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone

  • Performed safely and comfortably with local anesthesia and gentle care

❗ When Is an Extraction Necessary?

  • Severe tooth decay that can’t be restored

  • Fractured or broken tooth beyond repair

  • Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth that can’t fully emerge

  • Crowding—to make space for orthodontic treatment

  • Advanced gum disease causing bone or tooth loss

🧑‍⚕️ Our Approach:

  • We always prioritize saving the tooth if possible

  • When extraction is needed, we ensure it’s done safely, efficiently, and with minimal discomfort

  • We’ll also walk you through options for replacement, such as implants or bridges, if needed

Extractions

Dental implants are a strong, long-lasting way to replace missing teeth—restoring both function and aesthetics with results that look and feel completely natural.

🦷 What Are Dental Implants?

  • A dental implant is an artificial tooth root (usually made of titanium or zirconia) placed directly into the jawbone

  • Once healed, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration

  • A custom crown is placed on top, mimicking the look and function of a natural tooth

✅ Benefits of Implants:

  • Long-term solution for missing teeth

  • Look, feel, and function like real teeth

  • Help maintain jawbone structure and facial appearance

  • Prevent shifting of nearby teeth

  • Alternative to dentures or bridges with no need to alter healthy neighboring teeth

🧱 Bone Grafting: Building a Strong Foundation

In some cases, a bone graft is needed before implant placement.

  • This is often required if:

    • You’ve had missing teeth for a long time

    • There’s been bone loss due to trauma or infection

    • The jawbone is too soft or thin to support an implant

  • Bone grafting helps:

    • Rebuild jawbone density

    • Create a stable base to ensure implant success

    • Prevent implant failure due to inadequate support

Implants
