\n\t\tBad breath and sensitive gums may be signs of something more. \n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tPeriodontal therapy can stop the damage before it escalates.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

Most Americans experience some form of periodontal disease, often without realizing it. It can cause tooth loss, bleeding, sensitive gums, bad breath, and more. When diagnosed early, periodontal disease is easily treatable with minimally invasive procedures. At Spring Oaks Dental, we provide deep cleaning plus ozone gas therapy. This ozone gas therapy consists of medical-grade oxygen that is turned into ozone and then dispensed below the gums to kill bacteria and aid healing. As part of your regular checkups, our team will assess your gums and supportive tissue to identify periodontal disease so we can stop it in its tracks. <\/p>\n

\n\t\tSugary and acidic food and drink can wreak havoc on your teeth. \n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tFillings provide a convenient solution to keep you healthy.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

Despite your best efforts at maintaining proper oral hygiene, your diet, lifestyle, or even your genetics may cause you to develop cavities. Cavities occur when bacteria eats away at the enamel of your teeth, causing tooth decay. At Spring Oaks Dental, we can correct this damage by removing the bacteria and replacing the damaged portion with tooth-colored resin. These fillings will last for years and protect against further decay.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tDamaged teeth can be fixed. \n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tCrowns provide a long-lasting method to restore your tooth’s structure.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

Crowns are a common dental treatment dentists use to restore the structure of a damaged tooth and prevent further issues. As with all of our dental treatments, we will only offer solutions that are a good fit for your own unique body. That’s why we utilize biomeridian testing to determine which materials-from anesthetics to sutures to crowns-are the right fit for each patient. The BioMeridian practitioner maintains a list of all the substances and products in the Spring Oaks Dental office to ensure we don’t use anything that isn’t biocompatible with the patient. Depending on your needs, we’ll use ceramic-based, BPA-free composite, metal-free zirconia, e.max (lithium disilicate), or porcelain materials for your crown.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tEliminate materials that may not be right for your body. \n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tWith the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), our team can replace harmful fillings.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

Traditionally, many fillings were a silver amalgam material that consisted of up to 50% mercury. Mercury is a known toxin to humans, and its presence in your mouth may be causing harmful side effects. Additionally, the metals used in amalgam fillings may not be compatible with your body. Our team is skilled in the SMART approach, which provides a safe and stress-free way to remove damaging materials so you feel confident in the health and safety of your smile.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn more about smart\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\tTooth damage can hurt your overall health. \n\t<\/h3>\n
\n\t\tSometimes you need an extraction to get you back on track.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

At Spring Oaks Dental, we’ll do everything we can to address your dental concerns with the least-invasive procedure possible. However, extensive decay or injury may damage a tooth beyond repair. If that’s the case for you, rest assured that our team can remove the tooth, provide a number of treatment options to replace it, and get you back to smiling bright and feeling excited about your smile again soon. <\/p>\n

\n\t\tDisordered breathing disrupts your life. \n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tAirway-focused treatments can help.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

Millions of Americans suffer from disordered breathing, with many of these conditions remaining undiagnosed. Our bodies can’t function properly without enough oxygen, so when left untreated, these conditions can lead to significant health impacts. Disordered breathing is often most pronounced during sleep, but common symptoms include mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, brain fog, forward head posture, headaches, stress, and more. Our airway dentistry practice is experienced in identifying and treating a number of common disordered breathing patterns. Learn more about what we can do to improve your airway.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn more about AIRWAY DENTISTRY\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\tProper facial structure can improve your overall health. \n\t<\/h3>\n
\n\t\tIf you or your child needs a frenectomy, you’re in good hands with our team.\n\t<\/h6>\n\t

A lip- or tongue-tie can limit the tongue’s range of motion. This can affect your speech or pull your gums back, causing them to recede and leading to additional oral health problems. When this happens, your dentist can perform a frenectomy to remove or modify the tight band of tissue. At Spring Oaks Dental, we use a dental laser to perform this procedure because it is easy on the tissue and promotes quicker healing. We also offer this procedure as part of a treatment program that includes a series of exercises to address the tongue-tie from a functional standpoint. With this approach, we can help you achieve long-lasting improvement in your tongue and overall oral function.<\/p>\n\t
