Taking care of your smile is one of the best ways to keep yourself feeling healthy and confident. Just like any other part of your health, your teeth need regular attention to stay strong, functional, and bright! With quality daily care, along with regular dental exams and cleanings, you can help your smile stay healthy by keeping problems like tooth decay and gum disease away.

Periodontal (gum) disease happens when the tissues that support your teeth become infected. The good news is, with the right care it’s something you can absolutely prevent! At West Range Dental, we work closely with you, offering education, personal guidance, and gentle care to help your teeth remain clean and free of the bacteria that causes gum disease. Brushing twice a day, cleaning between your teeth, and coming in for regular checkups all make a big difference in preventing this disease. And if treatment is ever needed, our team is here to help you get back to a clean, healthy smile with comfort and confidence.

When disease or an injury ends in tooth loss, restoring your smile is an important aspect of health care, as well as getting you back to looking and feeling your best. Our team offers restorative implant dentistry techniques that repair or replace the loss of teeth helping you smile, eat, and live comfortably again.

Acting to strengthen, restore, and repair cracked, stained, or damaged teeth, crowns not only improve the appearance of a tooth, but also enhance the longevity and provide protection for your smile. A crown covers or caps a tooth and is carefully designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth – so your restored smile feels completely your own. It’s a repair that blends seamlessly, not only to friends and family, but more importantly, to you!

We understand a Root Canal sounds intimidating. However, it is an effective way to save a tooth that is infected, damaged, and hurting. And at West Range Dental, we take the time to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Following a careful and thorough examination of an infected tooth, your dentist will clean out the infection (much like treating a cavity). Then medication treatment, a permanent filling, and tooth restoration with a crown completes the procedure ending with a healthy, beautiful smile.

Dental implants are a reliable way to replace missing teeth. A small metal post or frame is surgically placed beneath the gums. Following placement, the implant fuses to the jaw bone and acts as an artificial root for the tooth. Once in place, replacement teeth (a single tooth or multiple teeth on a bridge or denture) can be securely attached. Implants provide stable, long-lasting support to artificial teeth.

A dental bridge is an effective restoration that replaces the space where one or more teeth have been lost. There are two types of bridges: fixed and removable. A fixed bridge is bonded or cemented into place so that only a dentist can remove it. A removable bridge, (more commonly known as a removable partial denture) can easily be taken out of the mouth at any time for cleaning. 

Caring for your teeth and restoring your natural bright luster is a great way to continue projecting confidence to those around you. We offer whitening procedures that are simple and effective, giving you a smile to smile about!

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain or composite material shells designed to cover the front of your teeth, giving you a smooth, bright, and natural-looking smile. They’re a popular way to close small gaps, cover stubborn stains, or improve the overall appearance of your teeth.

When a tooth has a new cavity, is broken, or has an old filling that needs replacement, a dental restoration can bring it back to health. Made from tooth-colored composite or porcelain, these restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while restoring strength and function.
