Preventive Dentistry:

The purpose of preventive dentistry is to maintain health. Think of preventive care as equivalent to getting the oil changed in your car; everything lasts longer when it’s properly maintained. Regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, daily care and checkups ensure that your mouth and gum tissue are in top shape. This regular schedule of preventive maintenance (once every six months) will help you avoid painful consequences, simply because we’ll catch potential problems in their early stages and remedy them before they become real issues.

Restorative Dentistry:

Restorative dentistry is basic repair of the mouth. Every day we restore people – just like you – to health by replacing broken or leaking fillings, building crowns and bridges, creating dentures or partials and maintaining implants. Many of these treatments have the added benefit of being cosmetic in nature, in that our restorations are pleasing to the eye. We also make recommendations for and treat the varying stages of gum disease and place invisible braces on teens and adults. Dr. Kooning performs root canal therapy on anterior and bicuspid teeth as well. It’s most important to us that dental care is convenient and easy for you to obtain.

Cosmetic Dentistry:

Cosmetic dentistry is a huge interest for many of our patients. Modern techniques allow us to:

• Drastically lighten tooth color
• Reconstruct widely spaced or missing teeth
• Completely reinvent your smile with porcelain veneers

Many cosmetic treatment options are choices not covered by insurance. However, for those who have been dissatisfied with their smiles for years, this aspect of dentistry is incredibly exciting. No other type of care offers the same potential to dramatically transform your smile.

Another form of cosmetic dentistry is Orthodontic* care. Covered in part by insurance, orthodontic treatment uses varying appliances to move teeth into alignment. If you have crooked teeth, a noticeable under/over bite or trouble chewing, braces may be the best answer for you.
