Call First Dental of Denver at (704) 987-7996 In general dentistry, not every treatment requires a specialist such as an orthodontist or oral surgeon. We are a full-service dental office that helps all patients, from toddler to adult, and we believe that having one general dentistry practice is beneficial for their dental health care. If there is a situation that requires a specialty service, the general dentist will provide a referral.
With our extensive and complete dental office, we offer comprehensive dental exams. This establishes the groundwork for any future treatments that might come up. The exam typically includes a very important and rigorous initial consultation regarding medical history and current medications, a visual and digital (with fingers) check, diagnostic x-rays and assessment of the teeth and gums.
The goal is to conduct a meticulous review of your potentially complicated oral health that includes a tooth-by-tooth examination, assessment of the jaw structure and evaluation for symptoms of disease.
Our teeth cleaning is second to none. Our patients tell us that nothing feels quite as nice as a thorough teeth cleaning from the professionals at First Dental of Denver. Even the most conscientious patient benefits from an in office cleaning. The dental professional will use a variety of tools to remove tarter build up on the teeth and gums. In some cases, working below the gum line can help retard tissue recession, as well.
We provide the most state of the art oral cancer screenings which will then detect the warning signs of developing cancer in the mouth. Early treatment provides the most positive prognosis. The screening involves both the very important physical examination and diagnostic tests such as a biopsy when necessary. The doctor will look for red or white patches and feel the tissue checking for abnormal lumps.
You will love the white fillings our office provide for patients. This is much more natural looking than the more conventional silver or gold fillings. The white composite fills an area of a tooth damaged by decay or trauma. The white substance is a sturdy, natural looking resin that closely matches the color of teeth to provide a more radiant smile.
Our dental crowns are the highest quality in the Denver area. First Dental of Denver’s goal is to restore teeth to their natural state. This cap fits over a tooth much like a glove. The dentist will bond the crown to the tooth surface with a strong adhesive. Once in place, it looks and feel like a normal tooth.
The porcelain dental crowns we offer are excellent and very natural looking. The porcelain, or ceramic, crown provides the most natural material for a pleasant smile. It is the perfect choice for teeth that sit near the front of the mouth.
Some of our clients have several teeth that need help that are close together. The dentist may opt for a bridge to fill the space left in the mouth. Dental bridges are a type of denture, but designed to span between two teeth to cover a break in the line.
We know that getting dentures is a very individualized and specific service. Dentures take the place of teeth missing in bulk. The doctor will design a plate that fits snugly and comfortably in your mouth.
You will love the Invasalign braces because they offer the most unobtrusive orthodontic treatments for alignment problems. They replace the old-school metal railroad track devices used for decades. Invisalign offers a series of clear plastic removable aligners. This allows you to take out the device when eating and brushing for better oral hygiene. They also look better than other forms of braces.
Our gum disease treatment is second to none. Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss and early treatment is a critical factor. Our dentists can care for mild forms of disease such as gingivitis and manage the more complex procedures to deal with advanced stages of degeneration. This includes both preventive and restorative care.
Endodontics is a specialty offered by First Dental of Denver. This is the study and treatment of the heart of a tooth…. the pulp. Endodontics includes root canal therapy and management of dental trauma.
We offer the most current TMJ treatment which includes bite guards, therapy and education to prevent behavior that exacerbates the problem further. We’ll help to relieve pain and help promote healing.
