Family Dentistry

At Dogwood Dental Care, our number one priority is to provide quality dental care to families with children of all ages.

It’s important for children to feel comfortable and welcome when they visit the dentist. Establishing a positive relationship with a dental office at a young age will empower kids to come back time and time again. More importantly, they can form healthy oral habits throughout their lives.

That is why we strive to create a positive environment that children enjoy visiting.

Preventative Care

Our ultimate goal is to provide preventative care for patients. We achieve this goal through good dental care and education. Through proper nutrition, good habits, and regular professional care, you can achieve good health. We work with every individual patient to help them understand their current level of dental health and what they need to do to improve and maintain their oral health.

Routine Dental Cleanings

We give your teeth and gums the proper care and treatment they deserve. During a routine dental cleaning, we remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, so your bright and polished smile can shine. Patients should schedule a dental cleaning every six months or as recommended by the dentist.

Education

We’ll teach you what good oral health habits look like in the home to keep you healthy. It makes more sense to educate patients and help prevent problems than to fix them as they happen. In fact, preventing disease is much less costly over time and more rewarding than correcting problems once they occur.

Cavities

Cavities are damaged areas of the teeth that turn into holes. More often than not, they’re not high-level emergencies. Even so, if you have a toothache or other dental pain, come in and let us look at it. It may need to be taken care of right away.

Dental Abscess

A dental abscess is caused when a tooth is infected. It forms as a pocket of pus in a tooth. If you have a dental abscess, you’ll feel severe pain in the infected tooth, which we can relieve.

Dental Trauma

Trauma occurs when a tooth itself or the tissue surrounding the tooth is damaged. This may happen in sporting accidents or after a fall.

Dental Avulsion

A dental avulsion happens when a tooth is completely knocked out of the mouth and disconnected from the bone. In this case, you should call us as soon as possible.

Dental Technology

There have been incredible advances in dental technology, and we believe we should offer the best of that technology to our patients. Our facilities are equipped with computer monitors in each room. We also have oral cancer screenings and x-rays available for you and your family.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings are a painless procedure that we use to check for early signs of cancer in the mouth.

The earlier we identify the cancer or the potential for cancer, the better we can treat it. If treated early on, the likelihood that you’ll experience lasting effects is much slimmer.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays are a routine procedure we practice at Dogwood Dental Care. We utilize technology that allows us to take pictures of patients’ teeth from all angles, including from inside the teeth.

Sometimes there are problems with your teeth that we won’t see or address through a simple visual exam. A digital x-ray image lets us know what is going on with your teeth on a deeper level. In keeping with our preventative goals, we recommend patients get digital x-rays along with their regular teeth cleanings and checkups.

The best part? Digital x-rays are lower in radiation than traditional x-rays, making the experience safer for patients and staff!

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is excellent technology, especially for those who may feel anxious about going to the dentist. Laser technology can be used for various treatments, and in many cases, replaces a drill. That means no noise and no vibration, making your experience seamless.

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialized imaging technique that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to produce three-dimensional (3D) images of a patient’s anatomy. Some of the benefits of cone-beam CT include: 1. Reduced radiation exposure: Compared to traditional CT scans, cone-beam CT exposes patients to less radiation, making it a safer imaging option. 2. High-quality images: Cone-beam CT produces high-quality 3D images that allow for better visualization of anatomical structures, which can help in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. 3. Non-invasive: CBCT is a non-invasive procedure that can be performed quickly and easily, without the need for surgery or other invasive procedures. 4. Customizable field of view: Cone-beam CT can be used to image specific areas of the body, allowing for a customizable field of view that can be tailored to the patient’s needs. 5. Real-time imaging: Cone-beam CT can provide real-time imaging during procedures, allowing for more accurate placement of instruments or devices, and reducing the risk of complications. Overall, cone-beam CT is a valuable imaging tool that offers many benefits for both patients and healthcare professionals.
