Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. Periodontal disease, or "gum disease," is the leading cause of tooth loss. More teeth are lost to periodontal disease than any other dental problem. With early intervention, the disease process can be stopped to prevent further deterioration of the gum tissue and supporting bone. Advancement of the disease process can lead to continued loss of supporting bone and eventual loss of teeth. Dr. Hess and her dental hygienist have attended many continuing education courses to keep current with the most advanced non-surgical techniques for treating periodontal disease. Contact Dr. Hess' office today for more information about periodontal care.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy, or endodontic therapy, is a procedure that is necessary when the nerve or pulp tissue has been injured. Injury to the pulp tissue can have varying causes, which include the advancement of dental cavities due to lack of care, and trauma to the teeth. Both of these causes can result in irreversible damage to the pulp tissue and when this tissue dies it must be removed to prevent further concerns. This treatment allows the patient to keep the affected tooth and eliminates the need to remove it. With advancements in technology, root canal therapy can be completed comfortably in one visit. Contact Dr. Hess today for more information about root canal therapy.
Complete Dentures
For patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, dentures are an excellent replacement option. At our practice, we offer custom made dentures that fit comfortably and provide the aesthetics of natural teeth. Properly fitted dentures are important to maintaining facial esthetics and proper jaw function. Dentures can also be made to fit over dental implants, which allows the denture to "snap" into place providing you the ability to chew with confidence and optimum comfort. Contact Dr. Hess today to find out which type of denture is best for you.
