At Madison Dental Aesthetics we can help you achieve your healthiest and most beautiful smile, with results that can be life changing. Your visit with us will not be limited to a simple dental cleaning. Each smile is unique and requires a customized approach, with years of experience and an array of advanced techniques and materials, we will craft the bespoke treatment plan to perfect your perfect smile.
The cornerstone of oral health is preventative dentistry. Your care with us will always be a full mouth assessment, which will include the following:
Demineralization is the process by which plaque, acid and other elements wear down the enamel of your teeth. Fluoride – always used in moderation – is critical to slow or reverse demineralization to strengthen your teeth against decay.
Dental sealant is used to protect the natural grooves and fissures of your teeth and the accumulation of plaque and bacteria that can cause decay. This treatment is especially important in children, teenagers and young adults.
Stress is a feature of modern life. Many people clench their jaws during times of stress and this unconscious habit often carries over into sleeping hours, resulting in clenching and grinding (known as “bruxing”), which causes cracking of teeth and crowns or damage to successful restorative work. It is also a leading cause of TMD, which can result in soreness, head and neck aches, and many other symptoms. Night guards can be an effective therapeutic tool to prevent teeth and crowns from damage due to nighttime clenching and grinding. Night guards are worn at night and are thin, discreet, and customized to your teeth.
The temporomandibular joint allows you to move your jaw up and down and side by side, enabling you to chew, speak and yawn. Problems stemming from your jaw and facial muscles that control it are known as temporomandibular disorders which can include:
If you experience these symptoms please contact us. We specialize in creating customized treatments for these disorders which will likely get worse over time.
Your gums play a critical role in your oral health, covering the bone, surrounding your teeth and preventing harmful bacteria from entering your body. Gingivitis is the inflammation of your gums, which is caused by bacteria or plaque buildup, and it can cause redness, swelling and discomfort. Gingivitis, if untreated, can lead to Periodontitis, which is a more severe gum disease that can damage the gums and lead to bone loss. Caring for your gums is, therefore, a cornerstone of a beautiful, healthy smile.
Periodontal therapy is a customized treatment plan for each patient. It starts with a pain free examination and radiographic evaluation. Treatments include a comprehensive cleaning together with scaling and root planing. More severe gum disease is treated with laser or surgical intervention. For all patients, regular hygiene visits to our office, coupled with effective home care is an important part of your dental health.
Your pink, healthy gums are also the critical aesthetic frame of your teeth and smile. Using advanced methods including lasers and grafting, we can remodel the soft tissue around your teeth to achieve your best smile.
For those who experience dental anxiety, the visit to a dentist is fraught with fear, canceled appointments and uncomfortable treatment. With proper care, planning and techniques, there is no need to suffer through your dental treatment. We specialize in multiple techniques, from nitrous oxide sedation to tell-show-do process to ease your anxiety for your visit and future dental work.
