| Here at the office of Dr. VanWyck we offer many services to help keep your smile beautiful and your mouth healthy. Our most common procedures include but are not limited to:
Periodontal Care (Healthy Teeth and Gums) The key to a healthy smile is to brush, floss, and rinse daily, along with visits to your hygienist every three to six months. Brush with a soft toothbrush gently with a short back and forth scrubbing motion. Brushes in sections at a time reaching each surface of the teeth. Be sure to replace your toothbrush every three to four months. Floss daily by gently scraping the side of each tooth away from the gum and the backside of your last tooth. Rinse for about one minute every day with mouthwash to remove the extra tartar above the gum line. Come for a cleaning with your hygienist every three to six months. He or she will reach all the places you are not able to with brushing, flossing, and rinsing and remove all the hard tartar to give you a beautiful clean smile. |
| Tooth Colored Fillings (Bonding/Sealants) Bonding is used for many purposes such as closing small gaps, repairing a chipped or fractured tooth, and covering up discolored teeth. Bonds, natural-looking material, is attached to your tooth surface. Bonded restoration may last for up to five years before needing a touch-up. Bonds can chip easily and are prone to stains so be sure to take very good care of them at home and with regular visits to the dentist. Bonding can be performed in one or more appointments and normally do not need the use of anesthesia. Sometimes crowns may need to be placed instead of bonding if teeth are badly decayed, fractured, or damaged. Implants (Replacing Lost Teeth) Implants are artificial teeth that are surgically set in the jaw to replace a missing tooth. Implants can replace all, a couple, or only one of your teeth. An implant takes multiple visits to your dentist and may last three to nine months to complete the implant process. It is important to replace missing teeth because of the many dental problems it can cause. Not replacing lost teeth can lead to an unbalanced bite, chewing stress, decay, and disease. Teeth Whitening Teeth whitening is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin. Tooth discoloration is a result of aging, coffee, tea, tobacco, nerve degeneration, and much more. Dr. VanWyck uses Discus Dental Nite White trays to whiten his patients' teeth. It is a fast, safe, and very effective teeth whitening system. The whitening gel is placed in a clear thin bleaching tray that fits over your teeth and is worn at night. Results are generally seen after the first application and is continued for ten to fourteen nights. Call or stop by our office to schedule an appointment for new whiter teeth TODAY! (860) 567-8684 |
