Cleanings

We recommend that all of our customers have a professional cleaning every six months. This will help to stop excessive plaque build up. If plaque is left untreated it can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay.

Most dental insurance plans cover these cleanings at 100% and most health insurance plans will cover cleanings for children under the age of 18. If you would like to have us check with your insurance company to see what coverage you have, please call our office at any time.

Gum Disease

Your gums, ligaments, and bone around your teeth are the base for your teeth. These are called your periodontium. If this is not healthy, it will cause issues with your teeth and effect the stability of your entire mouth.

Some signs of periodontium concerns:

Gums that are red and bleed easily
Persistent bad breath
Gums that are pulled away from the tooth
Loose teeth
Changes in the position or bite of your teeth

Contact Grand Island Dental Center today for a consultation to see how we can help you return your gum tissue to a healthy state. If you don't have this treated it could result in surgery or extraction.

Sealants

Sealants are used as a preventative measure to help fill in narrow grooves in a tooth that cannot be adequately cleaned by brushing. We brush a coating onto the tooth or teeth to seal the grooves and pits, making it possible to brush off all the plaque and keep your teeth healthy and free from decay. Unfortunately, if not taken care of properly, these tiny grooves will develop into cavities over time.

Fillings

Dental fillings restore teeth damaged by decay back to their normal shape and function, and are a vital aspect of your overall oral health.

If you have a tooth that requires a filling, our knowledgeable Grand Island Dental Center dentists will remove the decayed material, clean the affected area and then fill the cavity with a tooth-colored filling material. This filling will help to prevent further decay by closing off any cracks or spaces where bacteria can enter and cause harm to the tooth.
