At Compass Dental Arts, we make it a priority to offer every dental services you might need. We know that visiting the dentist can be a nerve-wracking experience, and the last thing you want to do is run around town searching for different services. Our skilled team has a high level of expertise in all of the services below and more, and we are happy to select the best one for your individual needs:

• Dental bridges - Dental bridges can be a great solution for patients who are missing multiple teeth. This is because bridges restore the bite and help keep the natural shape of the face. It is made up of one or more crowns that anchor the teeth, and they are great for restoring the smile.
• Dental care for your baby - Practicing healthy oral habits from an early age can help you care for your child’s teeth and help set them up on the path towards a lifetime of oral health success. We can help you instill these habits and navigate these new waters.
• Dental exams and cleanings - Your biannual dental checkups, which include routine teeth cleanings, are one of the best steps you can take for your oral health. Teeth cleanings remove plaque that accumulates in between the teeth, which prevent cavities, gum disease, and other issues. Frequent teeth cleanings could even lower the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
• Dentures - Dentures are sometimes given the nickname of “falsies,” and that is because they are prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth. Whether a patient requires partial or complete dentures depends on how many teeth they are missing and the severity of the condition. The average age for a first set of dentures is between 40 and 49, but missing teeth can happen to anyone.
• Digital X-rays - Your oral exams are another important part of your routine dental checkup. During an oral exam, we look out for the development of any issues like inflammation, bleeding, periodontal pockets, and tartar buildup. We also examine the mouth, tongue, and other soft tissue for potential issues. X-rays are able to show us the condition of the teeth, roots, jaw placement, facial bone position, and help us identify and treat dental conditions before they progress.
• Extractions - A dental extraction involves removing a tooth that is decayed, damaged, or injured beyond repair. Removing the tooth relieves the patient from pain and prevents that tooth from damaging the surrounding teeth and gums. Extractions are also great for preventing overcrowding, which is what occurs during a wisdom teeth procedure.
• Gum disease - Your regular dental cleaning entails a professional cleaning and an examination. We will utilize this moment to examine your gums and determine whether any pockets have developed around the teeth. If these pockets are not handled at your regular visits, they will only increase in size, which leaves your teeth vulnerable to plaque, bacteria, and even tooth loss. Our goal is to detect gum disease in its early stages so this does not become an issue.
• Gum recession - Gum recession occurs when the gums pull away from the teeth and create deep pockets, which can result in plaque that builds up and turns into tartar. One of the ways we can treat this is with a laser gingivectomy. During this procedure, we apply a local anesthetic which numbs the area. We then use a laser and special tools to remove the extra gum tissue and place a gel to cover the area and encourage proper healing. Healing time for this procedure typically takes between several weeks and three months.
