Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is key to long term oral health. Regular dental visits, x-rays, sealants, cleanings, fluoride, diet, protecting teeth from injury, and home oral hygiene are all integral in preventing more costly dental problems.

• Oral Hygiene Education

• Nutritional Counseling & Education

• Professional Dental Cleanings 

• Fluoride application

• Dental Sealants

Root Canal Therapy

Endodontic treatment is necessary when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected as a result of deep tooth decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth or a crack, chip or other injury to the tooth. Most teeth can be saved by endodontic treatment.

Endodontic treatment and restoration generally are less costly than the alternative: tooth extraction and replacement with an implant and dental crown.

Tooth extraction is not necessary unless:

• Roots are severely fractured

• The tooth does not have adequate bone support

• The tooth cannot be restored

 

Dr. Osorio performs  root canal therapy in any tooth,  If you need a more specialized root canal treatment you will be refer to a specialist - Endodontist.

For Children and Adults

The most important and valuable service we offer is our Continuing Care Program for Children and Adults.

The program starst at your first visit

with Dr. Osorio. As an adult you will be assessed for the signs and symptoms of gum disease and cavities.  For children Dr. Osorio will assess initially their risk of caries then he will make recommendations based on the child's individual needs.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to support a restoration for a missing tooth or teeth, helping to stop or prevent jaw bone loss. The dental implant procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry, but also is considered a form of cosmetic dentistry.

By replacing missing tooth roots, dental implants provide strength and stability required to chew. Additionally, dental implants stimulate and maintain jaw bone, preventing bone loss and helping to maintain facial features.

Teeth are lost because of:

• Tooth decay

• Root canal failure

• Gum disease (Periodontitis)

• Trauma to the mouth (tooth injury)

• Excessive wear and tear

• Congenital defects

Addressing Dental  Problems

Cosmetic Dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth and smile. Restorative Dentistry addresses dental problems that require necessary treatment.

Dr. Osorio uses all the technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-colored dental materials to make his cosmetic dental treatments more durable.  Additionally, he is using more conservative cosmetic dentistry techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, depending upon your specific clinical situation.

Digital Dental  X-Rays

Dental X-rays are pictures of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues around them to help find problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. X-ray pictures can show cavities, hidden dental structures (such as wisdom teeth), and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination. Dental X-rays may also be done as follow-up after dental treatments.

 

A Full-Mouth series of periapical X-rays (about 14 to 21 X-ray films) is most often done during a your first visit.

Bitewing X-rays are used during checkups to look for tooth decay.

Dental X-Rays are scheduled every 6 months based on your personal needs, risk and signs of oral disease.
