Orthodontics
If your smile is crowded or you have a misaligned bite, we can use orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth and bring your jaw into the proper alignment. Orthodontic treatment is not simply about aesthetics. An over/under bite or a misaligned bite can contribute to tooth loss and painful jaw conditions like TMJ (tempro mandibular joint disorder). With orthodontics, we can place your jaw into its optimal position and create a straight, beautiful smile.
Anyone with misaligned or crowded teeth can benefit from orthodontics. Treatment can be successful at any age. If you suffer from minimal crowding, you may also be a candidate for “instant” correction with porcelain veneers. Contact us today to find out what method of treatment will best suit your needs.
Dental Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth, or if you are looking for a permanent replacement for dentures, consider investing in dental implants. Dental implants are the modern treatment for missing teeth. Titanium implants are positioned in the jaw during oral surgery, effectively replacing the root of any lost teeth. The implants then fuse with the jawbone, becoming a part of you! From there, artificial teeth are attached to create the perfect fit.
Dental implants are a great way to replace individual missing teeth, and are also excellent under new or existing full or partial dentures to give better support and much more holding power for loose or ill fitting dentures.
Dental implants require minimal upkeep, and are easy to clean. They look completely natural, and may even feel better than your natural teeth!
Finding a dentist with advanced training in implant dentistry can sometimes be difficult. Dr. Emery has extensive experience placing and restoring dental implants, and has been trained and certified at the world-renowned Misch Implant Institute. Dr. Emery continues to study new techniques in implant dentistry, and welcomes any questions about the procedure.

Removable Dentures
For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, a high-quality set of removable dentures can improve their appearance, make it easier to chew their favorite foods, and clear up any speech problems caused by the missing teeth. We believe that every set of dentures should fit comfortably, and we go to great lengths to create custom dentures that look amazing and feel secure.
Patients who have lost only a few teeth have the option of removable partial dentures. These partial dentures will prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, and will be fitted for optimum look and function.
Periodontics
We regularly screen our patients for periodontal (gum) disease, and we offer treatment for beginning and advanced stages of the disease. If your gums are tender and swollen, or if they tend to bleed, you may be suffering from the early stages of periodontal disease, also known as gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can quickly progress and attack the soft tissues of your mouth, eventually causing tooth loss. When periodontal disease is caught early, it can be effectively treated with thorough dental cleanings. Advanced periodontal disease can be treated with a combination of deep cleanings and restorative dental procedures designed to reverse any damage to teeth and gums. Schedule an appointment today to learn more about periodontal treatment and screening.
Endodontics
When the root of a tooth becomes infected, the nerves in the tooth can die if left untreated. Infection can be caused by anything from periodontal disease to severe decay. Even if there is significant damage, the tooth can often be saved with advanced endodontic treatment (root canals). During a root canal performed at our office, the diseased pulp is removed and the tooth is thoroughly cleaned out and sealed off.
If you are experiencing pain or swelling in your mouth, neck, or face, it is important to contact our practice as soon as possible. Root canals have a high rate of success, and the sooner you contact us the more likely is it that we can save your tooth.
