Maintaining good oral health is important, so you want to have an experienced dentist whom you trust. It’s also a good idea if your dentist can take care of all your dental needs and those of your family. Below are the most common services that you should expect from your Dental Honolulu area provider.
Regular Cleanings and Check-Ups
Every member of your family should have an annual check-up and cleaning to spot and repair any dental problems before they get worse.
Fillings
To fill in an area of your tooth that has decay, fillings are common for both children and adults. Fillings are available in different materials such as silver, gold, porcelain and plastic. You can choose which type you want based on the location of the filling and the cost.
Whitening
Tooth whitening is a popular service if you have discolored teeth or just want a whiter smile. At A Bishop Street Dental Practice you can choose from two options of teeth whitening. One type is done in the office and the other kind, you can do at home and is less expensive.
Periodontal Treatment
If you have sore, bleeding gums, your dentist may suggest a periodontal treatment or root planing. Unhealthy gums can cause your teeth to pull away from them and loosen up. By deep cleaning your gums, this condition can be avoided.
Crowns and Bridges
If you have a chipped or partially missing tooth, your dentist may suggest a crown to cover the imperfect tooth. If you have one or more missing teeth, a bridge can be made to look like your real teeth and fill in the gap.
Root Canal
When a cavity has not been taken care of, it can worsen over time, damage the nerve of your tooth and become infected or abscessed. When this happens, a root canal is necessary to clean out the infection and restore the tooth.
Invisalign
As an alternative to unsightly metal braces, Invisalign consists of invisible trays that work to straighten your teeth. These trays are removable so you can take them out while eating and drinking.
When contacting a Dental Honolulu area dentist, don’t forget to ask about accepted insurance policies and payment options. Choosing a dentist that performs all your basic dental needs, makes it more convenient for you and your family.
