Your First Visit
WHAT TO EXPECT
At your first dental visit to Dixon, Boles and Associates, you will be warmly welcomed by our friendly team. You will have a comprehensive evaluation, which will include full-mouth and panoramic X-rays that show your mouth and jaw from every angle. These X-rays will provide us with a complete baseline that we can use as a comparison tool in the future to detect any changes.
First visits also include an oral cancer screening. Your dentist will use palpation (gently feeling inside your mouth) and visualization to check for any signs of oral cancer. Early detection of oral cancer can be life-saving.
Preventive Care
INVEST IN YOUR FAMILY’S LIFELONG ORAL HEALTH
Prioritizing your oral health with regular preventive care delivers long-term rewards. By proactively maintaining your teeth and gums, you and your family can enjoy the many benefits of healthy smiles for years to come. Good oral health supports your overall physical well-being and lowers your risk of developing complex dental problems that are expensive to treat.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
A NATURAL-LOOKING SOLUTION FOR MINOR DECAY
Tooth-colored fillings are a versatile solution to a variety of common dental problems. This includes small cavities, chipped or cracked teeth, and discoloration. It is a very popular treatment because it delivers a natural look that will blend in seamlessly with your smile. The tooth-colored, composite dental filling will bend and flex with the natural structure of your teeth while you chew. It is a durable answer to decay that will help you to preserve your natural tooth longer.
Dental Crowns
DURABLE RESTORATIONS TO STRENGTHEN DAMAGED TEETH
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that fit over the teeth to provide extra strength and correct extensive damage. We take digital impressions using our state-of-the-art iTero scanner. This provides an amazingly accurate 3D model of your teeth and mouth so your custom crown is a perfect fit. At Dixon, Boles and Associates, we offer a variety of crowns made from durable, proven materials. For more information about what option might be best to suit your needs, contact our friendly team.
Root Canal Therapy
TO PRESERVE YOUR TEETH
If your tooth’s pulp becomes compromised, it can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort. This can affect your everyday life, including your ability to eat. It is important to seek treatment quickly because without proper dental care, you could develop an abscess or end up needing an extraction.
Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue from the tooth. Then your dentist thoroughly cleans and disinfects the canal (or canals). Next, they seal the tooth to prevent future infection. The process itself is straightforward, and we ensure that you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout your root canal treatment.
Periodontal Therapy
TAILORED CARE TO ACHIEVE YOUR HEALTHIEST GUMS
Periodontal therapy addresses inflammation and infections in the gums, also called periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Keeping your gums healthy is an important factor in maintaining optimum oral health, and failure to seek treatment for gum problems can cause serious long-term consequences. If you need periodontal therapy, our team will tailor a treatment plan to remove harmful bacteria, halt disease, and encourage tissue reattachment.
Tooth Extraction
WHEN TOOTH REMOVAL IS THE BEST OPTION
Nightguards and Mouth Guards
PROTECTING YOUR SMILE AROUND THE CLOCK
Nightguards and mouth guards are custom-fitted oral devices designed to protect your smile against bruxism (teeth grinding) and contact sports, respectively. At Dixon, Boles and Associates, we use digital scanning technology to ensure we have an accurate picture of your teeth and mouth. We then tailor your device to provide the best possible fit and just the right level of coverage for your unique bite and oral anatomy.
Sedation
RELAXED AND COMFORTABLE TREATMENT
At Dixon, Boles and Associates, we understand that some patients feel apprehensive or anxious about dental treatment. To help calm nervous patients, we offer oral sedation so they can better tolerate treatment and receive the care they need. The sedation we use gently relaxes the patient for a calm and comfortable experience.
Snoring Cessation
BREATHE EASIER AND GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP
Disruptive snoring can significantly impact snorers and their loved ones because it compromises sleep quality for everyone. If you are a loud snorer, your condition may be preventing both you and your partner from achieving the deep, restful sleep you need for optimal health. This can result in daytime sleepiness, irritability, and relationship strain. But the good news is that a snore guard can help. The Dixon, Boles and Associates team is experienced in delivering snoring cessation treatment, which includes custom-made snore guards. Try a snore guard and experience the difference of better sleep.
TMJ Treatment
FIND RELIEF FROM PAIN AND DISCOMFORT
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause painful symptoms, such as jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and reduced mobility in the jaw joint. Dixon, Boles and Associates provides custom-made mouth guards as a TMJ treatment. A mouth guard helps realign the bite and relax the muscles to reduce pain and discomfort. If you have a TMJ disorder, your dentist will create a treatment plan specific to your needs. We can help you to achieve lasting relief from this debilitating condition.
