General Services at Union Dental

Periodontal Care: It’s important to eliminate any signs of gum disease as soon as they show up. If you see bleeding when you brush or floss your teeth or your gums have puffy sore areas, let us know. We can advise you on the at-home changes you can make to eliminate the problem or recommend deep cleaning to treat signs of more serious gum disease

Sealants: For our young patients or those more prone to cavities, sealants keep bacteria in the mouth from attacking the crevices of the chewing surfaces of the teeth. They have proven to be excellent investments in preventing cavities.

Extractions: Simple to surgical extractions can all be performed at our Union Dental offices. Our dentists are extensively trained and highly experienced in all types of extractions, including those for impacted wisdom teeth or situations where bones are fragile or where roots are curved or tangled. Many dentists refer patients needing extractions to other dental offices, but our dentists and staff are trained to perform smooth extractions. We also know how to keep each patient comfortable during this procedure. We make sure each patient knows what actions we are going to take before we start so there are no surprises. If a patient needs us to pause for a moment, we give them the time they need before resuming.

Dental Implants: With dental implants replacing lost teeth, it can be almost like you never lost any teeth at all! Finally, your replacements can look, feel and act just like your natural teeth. A titanium post substitutes for the root and stably anchors your new tooth. Because the titanium fuses with your jawbone, implants won’t slip or fall out. There are no dietary restrictions with dental implants; you can eat your favorite foods. With proper care, your dental implants can last a lifetime. 

Dentures: No matter what your denture needs, we can help. We offer snug-fitting partial dentures to replace a few teeth and complete dentures to restore your smile after total tooth loss. In both situations, our concern is that your dentures fit perfectly and allow you the most normal function possible. We also offer our patients “implant dentures” which are dentures secured by dental implants. This type of denture can replace either upper or lower teeth. The first step after tooth removal, once the bone heals, is to carefully select the number and pattern of implants that will secure the denture. The implants are placed and allowed to heal while natural-looking dentures are manufactured to fasten securely to the implants. Finally, you can have dentures without worrying about them shifting or coming loose.
