Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten the color of the teeth. It can be performed in a dental office or at home using a kit provided by Lakeshore Dental.
Veneers
Lakeshore Dental offers veneers as a cosmetic dental service to improve the appearance of the teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of tooth-colored materials that can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues, such as uneven or discolored teeth.
TMJ Treatment
Lakeshore Dental offers TMJ treatment to help manage the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder. This may involve a combination of approaches, such as medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes, as well as dental treatments such as mouthguards or splints.
Dentures & Partials
Lakeshore Dental offers dentures and partials as a solution for patients who have lost all or some of their natural teeth. These removable dental prosthetics are made of acrylic resin or a combination of materials and are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth. They are supported by the gums and held in place with natural suction or a denture adhesive.
Root Canal
Lakeshore Dental offers root canal treatment to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth and prevent further infection. This procedure is typically recommended when the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, which can cause severe pain and lead to an abscess if left untreated. The inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed during the root canal procedure to prevent further infection.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Lakeshore Dental offers tooth-colored fillings as a cosmetic and conservative option for repairing teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. These fillings are made of a mixture of fine glass or quartz particles and a resin, and are designed to match the color of the natural teeth. They are an alternative to traditional metal fillings and require the removal of less of the natural tooth structure to place.
Dental Implants
Lakeshore Dental offers dental implants as a permanent solution for missing teeth. These artificial tooth roots are made of titanium or a titanium alloy and are surgically placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
Crowns & Bridges
Lakeshore Dental offers crowns and bridges as dental restorations to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. Crowns, also known as caps, are used to cover and protect a damaged tooth or to support a tooth with a large filling. They are made of porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal and are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by attaching an artificial tooth, or pontic, to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Like crowns, bridges are typically made of porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal and are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth.
snoring and Sleep Apnea
Lakeshore Dental offers treatment options for snoring and sleep apnea. Snoring is a common condition that occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is partially blocked during sleep, disrupting sleep and leading to daytime fatigue. Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep, and can lead to a range of health problems. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and quitting smoking, as well as dental appliances such as mouth guards or splints.
Orthodontics
Lakeshore Dental offers orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. This can involve the use of braces, retainers, and other orthodontic appliances to help move teeth into their proper position. Orthodontic treatment is used to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile, as well as to correct problems with biting and chewing. It is often recommended for children and adolescents, but can be successful at any age.
Initial Oral Examination
Lakeshore Dental offers initial oral examinations to evaluate the teeth, gums, and mouth and identify any problems or potential problems. The examination includes a visual examination of the teeth and gums, as well as an assessment of the overall health of the mouth. X-rays may also be taken to help identify any issues that are not visible during the visual examination. The purpose of the initial oral examination is to develop a treatment plan to address any issues that are found.
Teeth Bleaching
Lakeshore Dental offers teeth bleaching, also known as teeth whitening, as a cosmetic dental procedure to lighten the color of the teeth. This is typically performed to remove stains and discoloration caused by factors such as aging, tobacco use, and the consumption of certain foods and drinks. Teeth bleaching can be performed in the dental office or at home using a kit provided by Lakeshore Dental. In-office teeth bleaching is usually faster and more effective than at-home bleaching.
periodontal Treatment
Lakeshore Dental offers periodontal treatment, also known as gum treatment, to help improve the health of the gums and other supporting structures of the teeth. This type of dental care is typically recommended for people with gum disease, an infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Periodontal treatment can involve a variety of approaches, such as scaling and root planing, medication, and surgery, and the goal is to remove the infection, reduce inflammation, and prevent further damage to the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
mouth guards
Lakeshore Dental offers mouth guards as a protective device to help prevent injuries to the teeth, mouth, and jaw. These devices are typically made of soft, flexible material, such as rubber or plastic, and are worn over the teeth to cushion the teeth and gums from impact. Mouth guards are commonly used in sports, but can also be used to help prevent grinding and clenching of the teeth and to treat snoring and sleep apnea.
