Dental X-Rays

X-Rays are a very important part of keeping your teeth healthy. We take x-rays to provide us with an in-depth look at your teeth, which can indicate any issues such as bone loss or tooth decay that may not be detectable to the naked eye. X-rays are typically taken once a year. From x-rays to thorough dental cleanings, Bloomfield Family Dental offers every service to ensure your teeth are healthy and gorgeous!

Teeth Cleaning

It’s important to have your teeth cleaned regularly to ensure that your mouth, teeth and gums are at their healthiest. Regular dental cleanings can help prevent several dental and oral conditions such as cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. In fact, medical studies have shown that the health of the oral cavity can have an effect on your overall health.

Bloomfield Family Dental offers basic and thorough cleanings. During these cleanings, our dental hygienist removes the plaque, calculus and stains from the teeth by hand or by using an ultrasonic instrument. After the necessary cleanings, x-rays and intraoral photographs are reviewed. Visual oral dental examinations are performed, and a visual oral cancer screening is completed. A Vizalite oral cancer screening will be done with the patient’s approval.

Fillings

Fillings are one of the most common dental services we perform at Bloomfield Family Dental. When your tooth begins to decay, a cavity will develop which can compromise the integrity of the entire tooth. It is important to have this tooth cleaned of the remaining decay and the cavity filled with a resin material that will prevent further decay. If teeth that are riddled with cavities are neglected and left untreated, more drastic measures such as root canals or extractions will be necessary. However, with regular check-ups, most cavities are caught in the early stages and can be treated easily and painlessly.

Root Canals

When a tooth has been injured or has become decayed, a root canal may be necessary to correct the problem so you will not lose the tooth or risk further infection and dental issues.
When the pulp inside the root canal of a tooth is diseased or injured, it dies. If a root canal is not performed, the surrounding tissues can become infected which leads to a build-up of pus at the tip of the root. The pus build-up will create an abscess that can spread into the surrounding bone. Once this occurs, the tooth will likely need to be removed. The dental specialists at Bloomfield Family Dental knows most people are nervous when it comes to root canals, but we assure you that we will make you as comfortable as possible throughout the entire procedure.

Crowns

Crowns are prescribed to correct quite a few dental health issues. Your dentist may recommend a crown to restore a fractured tooth, to replace a filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining, to cover a dental implant or to cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth. Bloomfield Family Dental uses the highest-quality dental material to guarantee that your smile is picture perfect!

Bridges

Bridges are typically implemented when one or more teeth are missing. They cover the gap where teeth are missing and are cemented onto your natural teeth or implants. With daily care and regular professional dental cleanings, these restorations can last a lifetime. Call today and schedule an appointment with the dental experts at Bloomfield Family Dental!
