Preventive Family Dentistry
Dr. Grant Burdick and the team at Designed Smiles knows that the best way to keep your smile healthy and looking great is to keep it clean and to catch small problems before they develop into big problems. That's why we offer complete teeth cleanings and checkups, and recommend that our patients have one at least every six months.
From complete exams and cleanings to full mouth restorations, Dr. Burdick and the team are dedicated to providing our patients with the latest techniques that address their oral health needs. We are a full service dental office that meets the dental needs for adults & children through services listed below. Call our office to schedule an appointment.
Relaxed Dentistry
Many people avoid going to the dentist because they are anxious or afraid. This can create a vicious cycle, where problems worsen and patients become more and more afraid of going because of the amount of work needed.
If you have a lot of anxiety about your visit to the dentist, we offer you the option of relaxed dentistry through your entire procedure.
On the day of your appointment, you’ll take medication – a pill, then a companion will bring you to the office. Our experienced clinical team will make certain that you are relaxed and completely comfortable and we monitor you very closely while you’re sedated. Many of our patients fell no discomfort whatsoever during and after the treatment, and have little or no memory of the visit.
Fillings
If a tooth starts to decay, it's important to quickly remove the decay and replace it with a filling before the problem gets any worse. Dr. Burdick uses tooth-colored fillings for all his restorations, and, in addition to fillings, offers tooth-colored inlays and onlays. These are useful when there is not enough tooth structure to support a filling, but enough remains that you don't need a crown.
Inlays are restorations that replace a large amount of tooth material, but sit in between the bumps on the chewing surface of your teeth, called cusps.
Onlays: Porcelain onlays are an excellent conservative solution to cavity pain, reduced chewing strength, and general degeneration of the back teeth. Virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, onlays discreetly restore teeth to an optimal state of health. They resemble natural teeth so closely that only you will know the truth. To find out if onlays are right for you, please contact us today.
Root Canals
The roots of your teeth, which anchor them into the jawbone, contain nerve and other tissues that nourish the tooth. Sometimes, this tissue can get infected. In the past, the only way to deal with infected root tissue was to extract the tooth, but now, a root canal treatment can save it.
Root canals are performed by drilling into the top of the tooth to expose the tissue inside the tooth, called the "pulp". Your dentist then removes the diseased pulp and fills the space that has been left. He then restores the top of your tooth with a porcelain crown. Contact Dr. Burdick immediately if you think you may need a root canal
Gum Disease Treatment
Keeping your gums healthy is essential if you want to have strong, beautiful teeth that will last a lifetime. Gum disease is characterized by red, swollen, sensitive gums, and can easily be treated in its early stages. We even have options for treating very advanced gum disease. Contact Design Smiles to find out more about gum disease treatment and to schedule an appointment.
Tooth Extractions
Dr. Burdick only uses extractions as a last resort, when there are no other options for saving the tooth. If, however, extraction ends up being the best solution, he is an expert at removing teeth with a minimum of discomfort, even in difficult cases. He also has several options for replacing teeth, including dental implants.
Dr. Burdick offers the procedures and services that will ensure your smile beams brighter than ever. Call our office now for your appointment or email us here.
