dr. tracy’s family dentistry practice includes:
Dental Hygiene and Preventative Dental Care
The best way to take care of dental problems is to stop them before the start. Dr. Tracy works in partnership with you, her patient, in having regular preventative care and tooth hygiene visits. These include mouth examinations, teeth cleaning, and instructions on proper dental care habits.
Smile Restoration and Dental Repair
Even the best preventative dental care practices sometimes require further action to restore your mouth to its healthy, functioning state. When needed, Dr. Tracy’s family dentistry practice includes:
- Deep Cleaning (scaling and root planing): If caught in time, periodontal disease can be stopped
- Gum (periodontal) surgery: Even with the best of care, sometimes periodontal disease is too far advanced to avoid surgery
- Root Canal Treatment: Dr. Tracy is an endodontist whose skill can save the damaged tooth.
- White fillings: Rather than having a “mouth full of metal”, ceramic fillings blend naturally with your teeth’s white enamel color.
- Inlays and Overlays: Ceramic inlays or overlays give your mouth a pleasant, natural all-white look.
- Crowns: Crown restoration can be done in a single appointment, usually under one to two hours.
- Tooth Replacement: If teeth are missing through disease or injury, bridges can replace them and keep your mouth functioning properly.
- Night Guards (to prevent teeth grinding): Dr. Tracy can custom-make a nightguard to help protect your teeth
- Teeth Sealing: Children and teenagers can get their teeth “sealed”, which helps prevent tooth decay
Family dentistry, including preventative dental care, smile restoration and dental repair work, is an extremely personal procedure.
