Services offered include: comprehensive examinations with digital intraoral and panoramic x-rays; oral cancer screenings; detailed treatment planning; restorative (fillings); oral surgery (extractions & other); hard & soft tissue biopsies; endodontics (root canal therapy); periodontics (soft tissue management); prosthodontics (full & partial dentures, crowns & other); oral prophylaxis (cleanings); emergency intervention; and patient education. The goal of the program is restore individuals to an infection free and functional state of oral health. The program also strives to educate individuals on the importance of maintaining good oral health including: the detrimental effects of poor oral health on their overall heath condition; the effects of alcohol, tobacco, and drug use; nutrition information; and proper home care techniques (brushing & flossing).
