Biehle Family Dentistry’s Approach
PERSONALIZED DENTAL CARE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
The Biehle Family Dentistry team provides personalized dental care to all ages because we believe every patient deserves to be treated like the individual they are. We make sure you are in the driver’s seat of your own dental care without insurance dictating what treatment you receive. It’s important to us that every patient feels seen, heard, and respected. Biehle Family Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of general dental services to help you maintain a healthy smile and prevent future oral health issues. We are your family’s dental home.
Professional Dental Cleanings
CLEANING AND POLISHING YOUR SMILE
Professional dental cleanings play a crucial role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Visits to your dentist for professional teeth cleaning complement your regular brushing and flossing routine to help you achieve a level of clean that home care alone simply cannot provide. We recommend you have this treatment performed every six months for the best results. Our dental hygiene team will remove any built-up plaque and thoroughly polish the teeth to keep your smile healthy and bright.
Oral Cancer Screenings
A PROACTIVE APPROACH SAVES LIVES
At each regular checkup, our team will conduct an oral cancer screening. We’ll search for any suspicious areas or precancerous symptoms, such as spots or sores inside the mouth. This will include a visual evaluation and palpation to inspect for any lumps or irregularities. Oral cancer screenings enable the early detection and swift treatment of oral cancer. Early intervention is key to a great prognosis, and screenings are just one of the ways we help our patients care for their health and well-being.
Our General Dental Services Help You:
DIAGNOSE ISSUES EARLY
KEEP YOUR SMILE FRESH AND CLEAN
PREVENT DISEASE
Fluoride Varnish
STRENGTHEN YOUR ENAMEL AND PROTECT YOUR TEETH
Fluoride varnish is a popular preventive treatment that is applied to the teeth after a professional dental cleaning. The varnish provides a protective coating that strengthens tooth enamel and prevents decay. It keeps protecting your teeth for up to six months from application. Fluoride varnish is a safe preventive treatment for all ages, including infants.
Dental Sealants
PREVENTIVE TREATMENT TO WARD OFF DECAY
Dental sealants are plastic coatings we paint onto the teeth in a thin layer over the chewing surfaces. They help prevent decay by preventing harmful bacteria from getting to the deep crevices of your molars. Dental sealants can last for many years with good home care and regular dental checkups. They are particularly useful for children who find it difficult to clean their back teeth sufficiently to remove small food particles and cavity-causing bacteria.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
RESTORING YOUR SMILE WITH A NATURAL FINISH
Tooth-colored fillings are composite resin restorations used to restore cavities, enabling normal oral function. We color-match the composite to perfectly blend in with your smile for a completely natural look. No one will even be able to spot you have a filling. Tooth-colored fillings easily withstand the pressure of chewing and can last up to 10 years with regular home and professional care.
Dental Crowns
REINFORCING DAMAGED TEETH
Dental crowns offer restorative and cosmetic benefits to greatly improve a damaged smile. If you have experienced significant decay, fractures, wear, or a root canal treatment, a dental crown can restore your tooth and enhance the beauty of your smile at the same time. We use digital impressions and the highest-quality dental porcelain for custom crowns that fit perfectly and complement your smile.
Tooth Extraction
WHEN A PROBLEMATIC TOOTH MUST BE REMOVED
Sometimes a tooth is so severely decayed or damaged that fixing it is not an option. If you need an extraction, there is nothing to worry about. Our team is experienced and gentle, and your comfort is always our top priority. We have sedation dentistry options available as well to ensure you remain relaxed throughout your extraction appointment. Afterward, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions so you can enjoy a fast recovery.
Periodontal Therapy
TAILORED TREATMENT FOR GUM DISEASE
Periodontal therapy is the umbrella term for a range of gum disease treatments. Whether you have gingivitis, periodontitis, or another gum condition, your dentist will do a thorough evaluation of your gums and determine the best path forward for periodontal therapy. At Biehle Family Dentistry, we customize your periodontal treatment plan to suit your individual needs.
Nightguards and Mouth Guards
CUSTOM DENTAL APPLIANCES THAT PROTECT YOUR TEETH
We offer custom-made nightguards and mouth guards, which are dental appliances designed to protect your teeth from damage. Nightguards are great for patients who grind their teeth. Often people grind their teeth at night without even realizing it. Signs of grinding (bruxism) include unexplained wear, cracks, or chips in your teeth. Over time, if left untreated, those conditions will progress. A nightguard stops these harmful symptoms by placing a barrier between the teeth and protecting them from excessive force.
Mouth guards are an effective way of protecting your teeth when playing sports. If you suffer a blow to the face or mouth, these innovative oral devices can minimize the impact and help prevent tooth damage. You only get one set of permanent teeth, so it makes sense to do your best to protect them with a custom-made mouth guard.
Sedation
OVERCOME DENTAL ANXIETY WITH A LITTLE HELP
Dental anxiety is relatively common, and some patients need a little extra assistance to feel at ease during their treatment. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide as a sedation option for patients who need it. This is a colorless gas (also sometimes called “laughing gas”) that acts as a mild sedative to minimize discomfort and increase feelings of relaxation. You will still be completely conscious, and the nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so you can return to your day with no lingering effects. It is a safe and effective option, so if you think you or a family member may need it at your next appointment, just let our team know.
