Pit & Fissure Sealants
Bells Corners Family Dentistry utilize sealants. Sealants are a protective barrier bonded to the chewing surface of a tooth. It prevents bacteria from accumulating into tiny grooves on the surfaces of the teeth. This does not eliminate the need for proper dental care but is recognized as an effective and valuable asset in the prevention of tooth decay. The application of sealants does not require anesthetic or drilling of the tooth.
Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth set into a framework, which rests on your gums. They are used to replace either a full or partial set of missing teeth. The plastic framework is customized to fit your mouth, and due to the fact that changes in your mouth occur, a denture will need to be checked and re-fitted periodically. Dentures play an important role
in the maintenance of dental health.
If you experience discomfort because of your dentures, the following measures may ease your discomfort: Rinse your mouth with baking soda or salt. Leave the offending denture out as much as possible. Brush your gums, palate and tongue with a soft bristled toothbrush after every meal and before going to sleep. A sore mouth, if untreated, could lead to further complications. If the problem recurs regularly,speak to Bells Corner Family Dentistry about it!
Implants
A Naturally Wonderful Smile Can Be Yours!
 If you are looking for a way to replace a missing tooth that is most similar to your natural one, an implant may be the solution you are looking for. Dental implants are small, sturdy, titanium posts, that act as the root structure would for a natural tooth. A dental implant is placed into your upper or lower jaw bone. After the bone has grown around the implant, implants can hold a crown, bridge or over-denture just like roots hold natural teeth in place. Implants are very durable and can last a lifetime. They require the same maintenance as natural teeth; this includes brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups.
A single tooth or a full arch of teeth which have been lost due to injury or disease can be replaced with dental implants. Titanium metal is used because of its compatibility with bone and oral tissues. Implants are a wonderful alternative to dentures and can serve as anchors for bridges. Imagine a confident, natural looking smile that could be yours. To find out if an implant would be a suitable option for you, contact our office
to arrange for an evaluation.
Sports Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are for recreational, professional or competitive sports and should be worn in practice, as well as games. Without a mouth guard, you risk chipping, breaking or even losing teeth! Bells Corner Family Dentistry can customize a mouth guard for your needs that is much safer than over the counter, or boil and bite store purchased mouth guards. Speak with a team member today, if you have any questions about the importance of a professionally designed sports mouth guard for you or your child!

Seniors
As we age, we expect our appearance to change. Teeth will darken, lips will sag, gums will recede and teeth may need to be replaced. Not anymore!
You don't have to have an aging smile.
In addition to preventing some of the effects of aging through excellent oral hygiene and frequent dental visits, we can even reverse some once they have occurred! Laminate Veneers, Tooth Whitening and Bonding are three easy, relatively inexpensive ways to regain the youthfulness of your smile.
So don't let an aging smile add unwanted years to your appearance.

Endodontics
How exactly is a root canal performed? First, your tooth will be isolated by a rubber dam. After being numbed, an opening extending down into the pulp is made in the crown of the tooth. The pulp is removed and the root canal cleaned and shaped to hold the filling. At this point, the canal may either be permanently filled and sealed, or filled with a medication to reduce infection. The tooth may be placed with a temporary filling or left open to drain. At your next appointment, the interior of the canal is sterilized and then permenently filled and sealed. X-rays will be taken throughout this procedure to ensure the canal is smooth and free of infected pulp. Dr. Haeri may recommend placing a crown on your teeth to help strengthen it. Please ask Bells Corner Family Dentistry if you would like more information.
Wisdom Teeth
 Wisdom teeth are extracted for two general reasons: either the wisdom teeth have already become impacted, or the wisdom teeth could potentially become problematic if not extracted. Potential problems caused by the presence of properly grown-in wisdom teeth include infections caused by food particles easily trapped in the jaw area behind the wisdom teeth where regular brushing and flossing is difficult and ineffective. Such infections may be frequent, and cause considerable pain and medical danger.
Another reason to have a wisdom tooth removed is if the tooth has grown in improperly, causing the tongue to brush up against it. If you havequestions or concerns about your wisdom teeth, call us today!
