Sedation Dentistry | TMJ Treatment | Root Canals

Dental Professionals on Whitesburg is committed to providing patients with a comprehensive array of dental services. Today’s dental research has uncovered many instances in which poor oral hygiene has been a contributing factor in the decline of general health and wellness. With that in mind, we constantly emphasize the importance of preventive care as an essential element in achieving optimal oral hygiene. Our primary objective is to ensure that our patients maintain optimal oral hygiene through technology, technique, and treatment. The benefits of optimal oral hygiene are realized through regular hygiene visits, routine check-ups, and consistent home health practices.

Our determination to provide patients with exceptional care is evident in the technology utilized at Dental Professionals on Whitesburg. To successfully promote preventive dentistry, we have incorporated technologies designed to determine patient’s risk for various oral health problems. Featured in this technology is:

Oral Cancer Screening:
Oral Cancer Screening– Many Americans each year are affected by oral cancer. However, oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when discovered at an early stage. Utilizing the latest oral screening technology, we provide patients with a thorough examination of the hard and soft tissues of the head and neck. This evaluation enables us to provide detailed information, assuring patients that no risk factors are present.

Sedation Dentistry:
Sedation Dentistry is commonly used to relieve the anxiety sometimes associated with dental treatment. Patients who experience an intense level of stress, require extensive treatment, or have a low tolerance for pain may consider Sedation Dentistry. At Dental Professionals on Whitesburg, we offer several types of Sedation Dentistry, each customized to our patients’ needs. Sedation Dentistry is endorsed by the American Dental Association and successfully reduces the stress and anxiety accompanied by dental treatment.

TMJ Treatment:
The physicians at Dental Professionals on Whitesburg are well versed in the anatomy and function of the Temporomandibular Joint, also referred to as the “jaw joint.” This area is often the source of recurring pain and discomfort. When this occurs, it is important that we provide you with a TMJ evaluation. This evaluation will provide us with a detailed assessment, enabling us to choose the best treatment option for you.*

Root Canals:
A root canal is a procedure that extracts diseased nerve from the central part of the tooth, re-shapes the canal, and replaces it with strengthening filler.

A cavity is the result of superficial decay of the enamel of the tooth. Left long enough, this decay can burrow into the deeper reaches of the tooth, causing extensive damage to tooth structure. When the damage goes beyond what can be treated with a filling, dentists can perform a root canal, or endodontics, preserving the tooth and retaining its original integrity; thereby saving a tooth that in the past would have required extraction.
