LEARN ABOUT OUR SERVICES
By keeping part of our schedule open to accommodate emergencies
and allow for treatment in a timely manner, we have made access
to care easy and convenient. EMERGENCIES WILL BE ACCOMMODATED
THE DAY YOU CALL. Regular, non-emergency, appointments can typically
be scheduled within a few days.
Dr. Hall offers a full range of dental services. Treatment for
pain, restoring broken teeth, and cosmetic procedures are all
available and easily accessible.
DISCOLORED, DARK, STAINED TEETH
can be whitened in about an hour, using our state of the art ZOOM
whitening system. This is the ultra fast, power whitening
system seen on the popular TV show "Extreme Makeover".
At Aspire Dental we take it one step further and provide custom
fitted trays for whitening at home. These trays can be used for
years to continue to keep your teeth bright and beautiful.
CHIPPED FRONT TEETH are usually
easily repaired without shots and pain free, using advanced bonding
techniques. The material we use for repairs matches your teeth
perfectly.
PREVENTING CAVITIES is so
much easier than repairing existing teeth that have decay. SEALANTS
are a great way to help prevent cavities from forming at any age.
Sealants can be applied quickly and painlessly. How do sealants
work? All teeth naturally have grooves which a toothbrush and
toothpaste will never be able to clean out. Over time these grooves
become packed with bacteria and food that cause cavities. We clean
these grooves, then flow in a "sealant" material that
bonds to your tooth and creates a smooth surface that you can
keep clean.
OLD,
BROKEN DOWN SILVER FILLINGS need to be replaced. Nothing
lasts forever, and fillings are no exception. Those old silver
fillings, that were probable filled when you were a kid, should
be examined, and may need to be replaced. Over time, with normal
wear and tear, the margins of fillings break down and allow bacteria
to get between the tooth and filling material. This bacteria then
causes the tooth to decay and can lead to significant tooth breakdown,
a root canal, or even the need to have the tooth extracted. Our
goal is to provide timely care and replace the fillings that have
passed their useful life-span, thus preventing a much more painful
and expensive procedure in the future. At Aspire Dental we have
a special "INTRAORAL CAMERA"
that takes pictures inside your mouth. These pictures are then
magnified and put up on a monitor, so that you see what we see.
A magnified intraoral image is far superior for diagnosis than
visual inspection alone.
There are documented links between GUM
DISEASE (OR PERIODONTAL DISEASE) AND HEART DISEASE, DIABETES,
STROKE, LUNG DISEASE, AND LOW BIRTH-WEIGHT BABIES.
Treatment of gum disease does not receive the media hype that
cholesterol does, but gum disease shows a much higher correlation
to heart disease than cholesterol. The incidence of mortality
and coronary heart disease increases as the severity of periodontal
disease increases. Gum disease can and should be treated. We pride
ourselves on complete oral health, and use the latest in oral
health technology to improve our patients quality of life. ARESTIN
is a product that recently has made a dramatic impact on our ability
to fight gum disease. Arestin is an antibiotic that is placed
under the diseased gum tissue to help fight the bacteria causing
the gum infection. Typically the procedures are tolerated well
and pain-free. For more great information about oral health and gum disease visit: http://www.austinperiodontal.com/periodontaldisease.asp
If you are in PAIN or have
any issues you think may need to be addressed, you should make
an appointment immediately. Most problems cost much less money
and time if treated early.
