Bridges |
Back to top |
| |
| Missing teeth can be
replaced by attaching a bridge
to adjacent teeth. Example, if
there is only one tooth missing,
a bridge will consist of three
joined crowns with the outer
crowns cemented to the adjacent
teeth of the missing tooth. This
is the best choice to replace
teeth when an implant is not
recommended, like in low quality
or insufficient bone in the area
of the implant. |

Cancer Screening |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Oral cancer is one of the most curable
diseases when it’s caught early. Dr.
Bennett uses Vizilite Plus to screen
oral cancer. It is a very simple
technology that assists in the early
detection of oral abnormalities. The
patient rinses with a cleansing solution
and then the mouth is examined under a
specially designed light. The procedure
is completely painless, quick and
effective. |

CBCT Dental Scanner |
Back to top |
|
|
|
"CBCT" stands for "Cone-Beam Computed
Tomography". This revolutionary device
provides the dental implantologist a
3-Dimensional view of the bone to
precisely place Dental Implants safely
and quickly. Without this information
the dentist would have to guess where
important anatomiical structures are
(i.e.: nerves and blood vessels). |

Exam |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Do you remember the first time you went
out in a date? Hopefully it was a time
spent introducing yourself and getting
to know the other person. Dr. Bennett
wants to treat each patient as an
individual. We do not treat mouths, we
treat individuals. Each one of us has
different backgrounds and goals we want
to achieve. The exam is a co-discovery
for both Dr. Bennett and his patient. It
might entail radiographs, pictures,
clinical evaluation, cancer screening
and some others, but the most important
thing is the time spent together getting
to know each other. Come and experience
the difference! |

|
Extraction |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Considered a last resort, extractions
are done in our office with a restoring
plan to follow. This plan may involve
implants, fixed bridges, and or
removable bridges. |
|
|
|
Fluoride Vanish |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Is a thin coating of resin containing
fluoride that dentists apply to the
surfaces of the teeth to protect them
from decay. It has a higher
concentration of fluoride than gels,
foams, rinses, and pastes, but it is
less toxic to children because less of
the product is swallowed during
application. |
|
|
|
Implants |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Missing teeth, either by accident,
dental decay, or congenitally missing
can be replaced by introducing a
titanium implant in the bone and placing
a crown to restore function, occlusion
and esthetics. Implants can also be used
in bigger restorative cases in
combination with multiple single crowns,
bridges and removable prosthetics like
partials or dentures. Modern dentistry
allows us to replace missing teeth with
implants without having to wear down
adjacent teeth for a fixed bridge. In
most cases, implants are the best choice
to replace teeth. |

|
Nitrous Gas
|
Back to top |
|
|
|
Nitrous oxide gas (laughing gas) is used
with patients who have light to medium
fear and anxiety of dental treatments.
This procedure has being safely used for
over a century. The patient is able to
go home by themselves since the effects
are vanished a couple of minutes after
the removal of the nasal mask. |
|
|
|
Oral Sedation |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Pills are taken orally to relief light
to severe fear and anxiety in patients.
Any dentist is able to prescribe these
medications as long as they follow the
strict guidelines set by the American
Dental Association. The patient gets to
be in a very relaxed state during the
dental procedures. |

Orthodontics |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Dr. Bennett uses the INVISALIGN method, for most cases, to straighten teeth and preserve a health beautiful smile. TOOTH WHITENING is included in every INVISALIGN case. Dr. Bennett includes whitening because he believes that: "crooked white teeth or straight yellow teeth makes no sense to him". |
|
|
|
Partial and Full Dentures |
Back to top |
|
|
The sight of metal clasps is something
of the past!
Modern Flexi partials have all acrylic
materials, including the clasps. A
beautiful smile can be restored with
unnoticeable partials. This option to
replace missing teeth is the fastest and
most inexpensive, without limiting the
high esthetics. Full dentures can be
combined with implants to obtain
retention and stability. Patients are
able to enjoy eating again and gain
independence from the adhesive glues and
powders. |

|
Periodontal (Gum) Treatment |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Periodontal disease leads to tooth loss.
Some signs of periodontal disease could
be painful gums, bleeding during
brushing, flossing or with applied
pressure, pus, abscess, red and swollen
gums, tooth mobility, bone loss,
increased depth of periodontal pockets,
and change of bite or occlusion. Some
patients with the disease do not
experience pain; therefore they do not
seek help. A thorough evaluation takes
into consideration the status of the
gums. Dr. Bennett and his staff help
their patients maintain their teeth with
comprehensive periodontal treatments
that may involve specialists in the
field. |

|
|
Porcelain Crowns |
Back to top |
|
|
|
The ability to use an esthetic,
all-ceramic material for posterior and
anterior restorations has been a
long-standing goal in the dental
profession. The popularity and trend of
performing esthetic procedures has
brought in a more demanding and
sophisticated clientele. Porcelain
crowns restore teeth with materials that
mimic tooth structure in shape,
function, and esthetics as well as
translucency. Dr. Bennett has over
twenty- four years experience with
porcelain crowns. He is aware that a
dentist’s restoration can only look
great as long as is done by a great lab
ceramist. Dr. Bennett only uses the
finest laboratories to produce the
highest quality restorations. |
|
|
|
Porcelain Veneers |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Porcelain veneers, as part of esthetic
dentistry, can reshape, rejuvenate, and
whiten smiles through the use of very
thin porcelain bonded to teeth. |
|
|
|
Power Bleaching |
Back to top |
|
|
Is a combination of the Zoom and the
Take-home bleaching procedures. The
patient, after the Zoom procedure at the
office, receives custom trays with
bleaching gel to continue the treatment
at home for the deepest bleaching
possible. The patient will also receive
a desensitizing rinse or a fluoride gel
to minimize any discomfort.
|
|
Prophylaxis |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Is a ‘cleaning’ done to prevent diseases
of the gums. This ‘cleaning’ is usually
done twice a year to patients free of
gum disease. |
|
|
|
Radiographs |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Our office uses both conventional and
digital radiographs. In addition, Dr.
Bennett has seen the future and has at
his disposal the latest innovation in
modern dentistry a CONE-BEAM COMPUTED
TOMOGRAPHIC SCANNER. This CBCT scanner
can be used to maximize safety and
efficiency of placing Dental IMPLANTS.
This allows us to minimize your exposure
to radiation by 90%. We are also helping
the environment by not utilizing harsh
chemicals that need to be discarded
constantly. |

Root Canal Treatment |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Severe decay affects the tooth pulp.
This is where the dental nerve and blood
channels reside inside each tooth. When
the pulp is affected and the tooth can
be restored there is a need for a root
canal treatment. This treatment involves
the removal of the pulp, cleansing of
the canals and their obturation. Modern
dentistry allows us to accomplish this
treatment in one office visit most of
the time. Do not hesitate and wait
worrying about getting a root canal. Our
office has all the comforts and
amenities you need. |

|
Sealants
|
Back to top |
|
|
|
The most common spot to get cavities in
children is in the grooves of the
chewing surfaces of the tooth. These
grooves can be sealed with a synthetic
coating to help prevent cavities. |
|
|
|
Smile Analysis |
Back to top |
|
|
|
The dictionary defines art as “the
quality production, expression according
to esthetic principles of what is
beautiful, appealing, or of more than
ordinary significance.” It also defines
art as “the principles or methods
governing any craft or branch of
learning.” These explanations clearly
define esthetic dentistry. A smile
analysis takes into account the amount
of teeth showing, their shape, shade,
position, the smile arch, midline and
other determinants of beauty. This
information is then used to treatment
plan an esthetic case. |
|
|
|
Take Home Bleaching |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Is a dentist-supplied product that
contains a higher concentration of
hydrogen peroxide and will work quicker
than over-the-counter products. The
patient has impressions of his or her
mouth taken. Thin custom trays are
fabricated to fit over the teeth. The
appropriate bleaching gel is supplied to
the patient with instructions on how to
use it and for how long. |
|
|
|
Tooth Sculpting |
Back to top |
|
|
|
The demand for esthetics in restorative
dental materials has risen dramatically
in the last few decades. Some patients
even want their molar restorations to
resemble natural tooth structure rather
than being fabricated from gold or
silver. Resin composite, bonding,
provides the best combination of
physical properties and esthetic results
of all restorative materials other than
porcelain. Bonding is used in the front
teeth to close gaps, remove stains,
repair broken or chipped teeth and
reshape crooked or misaligned teeth.
Bonding is used in molars to replace old
silver fillings and to restore decayed
dental surfaces. Dr. Bennett performs
cosmetic contouring or if you prefer
tooth sculpting to achieve a more
natural smile. Tooth sculpting involves
selecting the appropriate material and
shade with an artistic placement and
finishing. The final product is a tooth
or molar with no visible restoration. |
|
|
|
Trial Smile |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Temporary material is placed on the
teeth to determine the best fit and
shape of a future esthetic
reconstruction. The patient is able to
see and feel the future restorations. |
|
|
|
Whitening Over-The-Counter |
Back to top |
|
|
|
Most of these products are safe and can
be effective if used long enough. The
concentration of whitener in them is low
in order to make them safe. They work
well but require more use to produce the
desired effect. |
|
|
|
Zoom |
Back to top |
|
|
Is a whitening procedure done at the
dental office. The active ingredient in
these products is a very high
concentration of hydrogen peroxide. It
is activated by light after taking
special precaution to maintain the
product on the teeth, away from the
gums. The procedure lasts about an hour.
