Recent research confirms the link
between periodontal (gum) disease with heart disease and diabetes.
Your doctor and hygienist will carefully check you for any signs of gum
disease, so that we can treat and improve your whole body health. If
you have not had a professional cleaning for many years, you may need
additional hygiene services. Fluoride treatment may be recommended
for you.
We
believe a good foundation is the key to optimal oral health, therefore,
our periodontal care is of utmost priority. We customize cleanings to
properly care for your specific periodontal (gums & bone) needs.
Whether a six month checkup or full periodontal therapy, our hygienists
will always strive to provide the very best treatment while maintaining
your absolute comfort.

Composite
resin bonding is used to repair fractures as well as to laminate (or
cover) teeth to enhance appearance. These procedures are usually
accomplished in one appointment and with little or no discomfort! We
are proud to produce some of the most beautiful smiles in Florida.
Direct
Bonded Resin veneers or Porcelain Laminate veneers are literally a
"shell covering" placed over the teeth to enhance or correct
their appearance. Whether to close spaces, increase size, change
color or straighten the teeth, the application of veneers is one of the
most exciting procedures for enhancing a smile. We not only change
peoples' smiles, our patients repeatedly say we change lives.
For the prevention of cavities, we
may suggest sealants to protect your child's back teeth during their early
years.

For a whiter brighter smile, ask
about our whitening procedures. Whitening
teeth can be one of the easiest, yet, most gratifying procedures performed
in our office. We are pleased to provide our patients with choices
of different bleaching procedures which are customized for each patient's
needs. Resulting from these procedures, our patients are enjoying
whiter, brighter smiles achieved in just a few short, easy visits.
White and silver fillings as well as
tooth bonding are common procedures performed by our Doctors. Modern
dentistry has allowed us the pleasure of combining beauty as well as
strength when filling teeth. We take pride in "restoring" teeth
to as close to their original strength and appearance with composite
resins and ceramics. Since patient comfort is top priority, our
clinical staff and doctors go the extra mile to make coming to the dentist
a whole new positive experience.

When decay is so deep that the nerve
becomes infected, your Doctor may recommend root canal treatment.
Normally two appointments are required. Your tooth may require a
post and crown as a final restoration, in addition to a root canal.
Root canals are highly successful and an alternative to loosing the tooth
in many cases.
Dr. C. J. Keathley, owner, is a Board
Certified Oral Surgeon. He may complete your initial exam and then
assign you to your General Dentist, in addition to performing all your
dental surgical needs. Both nitrous oxide and I.V. sedation are
available and will be offered to you. Dr. Keathley also performs
implants for our patients.
The procedures listed are only the
most common dental procedures performed in our office on a regular
basis. We also offer additional services and procedures as needed to
maintain our patient's health. We appreciate your questions and
comments. Our patient satisfaction is a shared goal among our
employees.
We enjoy watching people smile after
receiving their treatment and observing their exhibited confidence in the
Doctors working with them.

Custom made Crowns and Fixed Bridges
offer a solution to large fillings, protection after root canal therapy,
and replacement of a missing tooth/teeth permanently cemented in your
mouth. Veneers are also performed in our office for cosmetic
solutions to gaps between teeth and crooked teeth. Ask your Doctor
if you desire an improvement with your smile.

Dentures & Partial
Dentures |
Some patients may be able to save
some of their teeth by replacing those missing with a removable partial
denture. For those patients who require replacement dentures or need
full extractions and immediate temporary dentures placed, we can
accommodate your needs. We offer both a standard denture, very high
quality and natural looking. We also offer "Swissedent
Technique" dentures, which are the most natural denture
available. We have samples of each so you can compare and decide for
yourself which best meets your needs. Since we make a lot of
dentures, our success rate is very high. In the event you need to
have all your teeth removed, you will leave our office with a denture(s)
in your mouth and return for follow up care the next day.
