Dental Fillings

Over time, the structure of our teeth can become damaged due to exposure to certain foods and a lack of proper dental care. When this happens, the enamel begins to decay and patients can experience symptoms that include sensitivity to sweets or hot and cold food and drinks. Weakened enamel affects the structure of the teeth and ultimately leads to cavities.

This structural change is addressed through the use of dental tooth fillings, a common procedure at Valley Village Dental. Not only can a tooth filling help to reduce sensitivity, but it assists in restoring the structure of the tooth. Our team takes the utmost care when completing a dental filling and will begin by removing any decay from your tooth and cleaning the area.

Several types of materials can be used to fill the cavity including amalgam, a silver filling, or a composite material that matches the color of the tooth. We’ll discuss your options with you in detail, taking into account the location and size of the dental filling as well as your specific medical needs.

Drs. Michelle and James Grosleib aim to educate patients who have outdated dental fillings as well, as increased concerns about mercury are one of our highest priorities. At Valley Village Dental, we can remove old dental fillings and replace them with safe and durable materials that are completely metal-free.

Addressing tooth decay right away is essential to maintaining ideal oral health because if a cavity is left untreated, it can affect the root and create the need for more advanced procedures. Through regular visits, we can monitor any signs of tooth decay and also watch for indications of older dental fillings that are in need of replacement.

Your oral health is our top priority, and if we find that you’re in need of a dental filling, you can rest assured that the process will be comfortable from start to finish.

Our equipment is state-of-the-art and includes ultrasonic options to clean hard to reach places, ensuring that we provide a deep clean each and every time.

Dental Extractions

Patients who are concerned about discomfort during a dental extraction will be pleased to know that Drs. Michelle and James Grosleib make every effort to offer an easy and painless procedure. We use a local anesthetic to ensure that the extraction itself does not cause any pain, and patients who are concerned about the process can also benefit from the use of sedation if desired.

Equally as important as the extraction in our office is the follow-up care that you complete at home. We recommend eating soft foods and resting to allow your mouth to heal properly, and our team is always available should you have any post-procedure questions.

Some patients find that after they have recovered, they want to explore the option of an implant to enhance their smile. The team at Valley Village Dental will discuss all of your needs and educate you on the best direction for your specific needs. We’re here to help you meet your dental goals with ease!

After sealing the tooth with a custom-shaped crown, you’ll regain the ability to enjoy your favorite foods with ease and know that you’ve taken important steps toward improving your dental health. Our doctors recommend treatment at the first indication of excessive decay to avoid more serious health issues and we’ll discuss your options with you from start to finish.

Root canals can be an important part of maintaining proper oral health and it’s never too late to take steps toward achieving the smile of your dreams! Call our office today to schedule an appointment and experience the ultimate in patient care.

Digital Dental X-rays

In most cases, we will use digital x-rays in three different parts of your mouth to provide us with the most amount of visual data possible. Panoramic x-rays allow our doctors to evaluate the health and integrity of your jaw and determine if there are any abnormalities with your sinus cavities and wisdom teeth.

Periapical x-rays offer a closer look at the root of each tooth to assess if any gum disease or infections are present, and bitewing images let us locate decay between the teeth and let us determine a proactive treatment plan moving forward. We’re firm believers that technology should be used to everyone’s advantage, and the use of digital x-rays allows everyone to have a better grasp on your dental health needs.

Individuals who are starting to experience negative daytime effects from bruxism will find that a night guard makes a world of difference, and while they tend to be a bit of an investment up front, they more than pay for themselves by protecting your mouth from additional damage down the line.

Contact our office today if you’ve been grinding or clenching your teeth at night – the sooner you can start using a night guard the stronger your teeth will remain.

Crowns

The process of receiving a crown can sometimes be involved, as it must fit exactly right in order to keep bacteria from entering the now hollow tooth. At Valley Village Dental, our experienced team ensures that you’ll be comfortable from start to finish as we explain each step of receiving a new crown.

Crafting your customized bridge typically involves several visits, and each time we’ll walk you through every step so that you’re relaxed and know exactly what to expect. On average, bridges do require replacing every ten years or so, and you can rest assured that Drs. Michelle and James Grosleib will provide you with a bridge that’s durable and comfortable.

Dentures

Drs. Michelle and James Grosleib have been crafting high-quality dentures for many years and will discuss your options with you first. They will then make an impression of your mouth and provide you with a test set to determine how they fit and feel. Once your trial dentures have been perfected, we will place an order for your final set. Upon delivery, our team will take time to review proper cleaning and care of your dentures as well as offer tips for adjusting to them.

Dentures can dramatically change your life and at Valley Village Dental, we’re excited to help you achieve a beautiful smile that lasts for years! Contact our office today if you’re interested in learning more about dentures.
