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.
Aspire Dental 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 Professional Teeth
Whitening system.
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.

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.
