Preventative Dentistry
The best way to have a beautiful smile that will last is to keep your teeth and gums healthy. At Young Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide regular teeth cleanings and exams so that we can catch problems early in their development, instead of having to do more serious dental work later on. We work with patients of all ages to help them develop the habits and practices that will keep their teeth strong and looking good. Contact our office for more information or to schedule an appointment for cleanings and checkups.
Restorative Dentistry
Young Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offers a full range of restorative procedures. If you have problems with your teeth, we can fix them quickly and with a minimum of discomfort. We have many options available for restoring or replacing unhealthy teeth. We offer everything from simple fillings, to inlays and onlays, which repair teeth that have more extensive damage. We even offer all-porcelain crowns to repair teeth that are damaged but that have healthy roots. Contact us today if you are in need of restorative dentistry.
Keep Your Gums Healthy
Healthy gums are the cornerstone upon which good dental health is built. Through regular exams and cleanings, we'll work with you to make sure your gums stay healthy. We also provide our patients with a range of treatments for gum disease. Known in its early stages as gingivitis, and characterized by swelling and bleeding of the gums, gum disease can be treated in a variety of ways. It does not matter whether your gum disease is in its early stages or more advanced, we have treatments that can help. Contact us today to find out more about the gum disease treatments we offer.
TMJ - Bruxism Treatment
Strictly speaking, "TMJ" is an acronym for the "temporo-mandibular joint," which is the joint where the jaw attaches to the skull. More broadly, TMJ has come to refer to a variety of problems with this joint. TMJ symptoms include popping and clicking, as well as head and jaw pain, earaches, and difficulty opening and closing the mouth.
A number of factors can cause or aggravate TMJ. Stress, poor posture such as that caused by holding your head forward to look at a computer screen, and grinding your teeth, known as "bruxism," can all lead to TMJ disorders. At Young Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we have treatments available to help alleviate TMJ, including bite appliances that prevent excessive teeth grinding. If you are suffering from TMJ, contact us to find out which treatment might best help you.
