Dental Services
 When it comes to maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile, comprehensive dental care is essential. A well-rounded dental practice like our practice offers a range of services designed to keep your teeth and gums in top condition, address any dental issues that arise, and enhance the appearance of your smile.Here at Water's Edge Dental, we believe in providing comprehensive care that meets the unique needs of each patient. Our services span the spectrum of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, ensuring that you receive the highest level of care for optimal oral health and a beautiful smile. Understanding these services will help you make informed decisions about your oral health and ensure that your smile remains bright and healthy for years to come. Preventive DentistryPreventive dentistry is the foundation of our practice, focusing on maintaining good oral health and preventing the development of dental problems. Here are some of our preventive services. Dental ExamsRegular dental exams are crucial for detecting and addressing potential issues early on. During your exam, Dr. Geoffrey Herzog will thoroughly inspect your teeth, gums, and oral tissues for signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. We'll also discuss your oral hygiene routine and provide personalized recommendations to keep your smile healthy. Dental CleaningsProfessional dental cleanings are an essential part of preventive care. Our skilled hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease and tooth decay, keeping your mouth fresh and healthy. Fluoride TreatmentsFluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. We offer professional fluoride treatments that provide an extra layer of protection for your teeth. These treatments are especially beneficial for children and adults at high risk of developing tooth decay. Dental SealantsDental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars). These areas are prone to cavities due to their grooves and pits, which can trap food particles and bacteria. Sealants create a barrier that prevents decay, making them especially beneficial for children and teenagers. Oral Hygiene EducationProper oral hygiene is key to maintaining good oral health. Our team will provide you with personalized guidance on brushing and flossing techniques, as well as recommendations for products that suit your specific needs. We'll also offer tips on maintaining a balanced diet and making healthy choices for your teeth and gums. Restorative DentistryRestorative dentistry is designed to restore the function and appearance of your teeth when dental problems arise. Here is a rundown of the range of treatments we offer. Dental FillingsIf you have a cavity or a small area of tooth decay, we can restore the affected tooth with a tooth-colored filling. These fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a durable and aesthetic solution. Dental CrownsDental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. We use crowns to protect a tooth after a root canal, cover a dental implant, or restore a severely damaged tooth. Crowns are made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys. Dental BridgesA dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth supported by crowns on either side. Bridges not only restore your smile but also help maintain the proper spacing and alignment of your remaining teeth. DenturesFor patients missing all or most of their teeth, we offer both full and partial dentures. These removable restorations are custom-designed to fit your mouth comfortably and securely. Dentures allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, while also supporting the facial muscles and preventing bone loss in the jaw. Dental ImplantsDental implants are the most advanced and durable solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as an artificial tooth root. A custom-made crown is then attached to the implant, restoring the visible portion of the tooth. Implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, providing a permanent solution for tooth loss. Cosmetic DentistryIn addition to maintaining and restoring your oral health, we also practice cosmetic dentistry. Our cosmetic services aim to enhance the appearance of your smile. Here are some of the cosmetic treatments we offer. Teeth WhiteningOver time, teeth can become discolored due to various factors, such as aging, staining foods and beverages, or certain medications. We offer professional teeth whitening treatments that can significantly lighten and brighten your teeth, giving you a dazzling smile. Dental VeneersDental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth. Veneers provide a natural-looking and long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile. Dental BondingDental bonding is a quick and affordable way to improve the appearance of chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. It involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the affected area and sculpting it to match the shape of your natural tooth. Bonding is also used to close gaps between teeth or change the color of stained teeth. Gum RecontouringIn some cases, excess gum tissue can make teeth appear short or uneven. Gum recontouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic procedure that removes or reshapes the gum tissue to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. We can combine this treatment with other cosmetic procedures for a complete smile makeover. At our dental practice, we are committed to providing comprehensive care that meets the diverse needs of our patients. From preventive services to restore and maintain good oral health to restorative treatments that repair damaged teeth and cosmetic procedures that enhance the appearance of your smile, we offer a wide range of services tailored to your individual needs. Our experienced team and skilled professionals are dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for life.
