At Horizon West Dentistry, we strive to prevent dental conditions whenever possible. With regular dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays, we can often detect dental conditions in their earliest stages before they pose a serious risk to your smile. Here’s what you can expect

• A comprehensive dental exam will evaluate the health of each tooth as well as look for signs of periodontal (gum) disease. If we find anything that requires treatment, we will let you know right away.
• Our dental cleanings are designed to keep your teeth clean and your gums healthy as well as give you a strong and beautiful smile.
• Dental X-rays assist us in the diagnosis of conditions that are not visible through a visual exam alone. This can include dental decay, infection, bone levels, and certain types of cysts and tumors.
• Our team performs oral cancer screenings to check for signs of cancerous and precancerous conditions.
• To check your teeth for signs of decay, we use the DIAGNODent digital cavity detection system.

Restorative Dentistry

Whether you require a dental filling, crown, or dental bonding, we are here to repair your teeth, which protects them and can extend comfortable function.

• Tooth-colored fillings are used to repair a tooth after removing decay without the need for silver, gold, or other metals.
• Crowns protect and stabilize a cracked or deeply decayed tooth.
• Bonding can fill in small chips and narrow gaps in teeth for cosmetic purposes or to prevent stains or decay.

Tooth-Replacement Options

Saving your natural teeth is a priority for us, but sometimes removing a tooth is necessary to relieve your symptoms and protect your health or because restoration is not possible. Having a gap in your smile, however, is not ideal either for your appearance or for chewing and speaking comfortably.

We offer the following tooth replacement options:

• Removable dentures: For patients who have suffered partial or complete tooth loss. We offer partial or full dentures, depending on your needs.
• Fixed dentures: These are dentures that are anchored to the jaw using dental implants. They offer a permanent and stable tooth loss solution.
• Denture stabilization: For patients who already have dentures, we can retrofit the denture with special attachments that can be anchored to dental implants.
