Dental Examination
The good news is that regardless of whether you are insured, comprehensive dental exams carry a highly affordable price tag compared to what you can expect to pay for the treatment you will likely need if you neglect to undergo regular checkups. The average out-of-pocket expense for a
X-rays
Your doctor can typically diagnose crooked teeth during a routine dental exam. They may perform x-rays in addition to a visual check of your bite. Panoramic x-rays can also help with the diagnosis of a misaligned bite by showing the relationship between your teeth and jaws.
Oral Cancer Screening
Bacteria in plaque and tartar can cause gum disease, which has been linked to heart disease and other conditions. Routine exams can protect your periodontal and overall health. Many exams also include an oral cancer screening.

Teeth Cleaning
Mild to moderate periodontitis is generally treated with scaling and root planing. Also called a deep dental cleaning, this procedure involves disinfecting and smoothing the root surfaces. For the patient, this process is similar to a regular cleaning with a general dentist. However, local anesthesia can be administered for your comfort.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment comes in many forms. If you would prefer to avoid trays and gel, your dentist can use varnish. This is gently painted on the front, back, and top of teeth and will harden in seconds. The entire procedure takes no more than two minutes. Simply leave the varnish on for six hours (you can return to normal activities immediately), and remove it with a toothbrush later in the day.
Dental Sealants
Made of a thin plastic coating, dental sealants act as literal shields against decay-causing bacteria so that your child’s smile stays healthy.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Filling. Your dentist will remove the damaged tissue and renew the strength of your tooth with a dental filling, made from composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam.
Veneers
Porcelain Veneers Veneers are a good option for the front of your smile and can adjust the size of teeth.
Crowns
If you have been told you need a filling or dental crown, you might first require a preparatory procedure called crown lengthening.
Bridges
Traditional methods of replacing lost teeth include dentures and dental bridges. These restorations can replace missing teeth to create a more natural smile and improve your ability to eat and speak naturally. However, dentures and bridges do not protect your jaw against bone loss.
Dental Bonding
The longevity of treatment results will depend greatly upon your oral health, overall health, oral hygiene, and compliance with doctor's instructions. Dental materials are also a factor. Porcelain veneers, for instance, may last two decades or more; dental bonding to correct the same issue may only last five to ten years.
Restorative Dentistry
Patients undergoing lengthy cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments may find it difficult to remain still for so long. Sedation can help you remain calm as Dr. Starr performs complex procedures like treating gum disease.

Root Canal Treatment
Some, not all, dentists employ lasers for minimally invasive dental and periodontal procedures. A soft tissue laser can treat periodontitis, reduce gum tissue for cosmetic purposes, and perform biopsies. Hard tissue lasers can prepare teeth for restorations, clean a tooth's root canal, and trim bone tissue. Patients tend to heal promptly following
Apicoectomy

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Scaling and root planing, and other solutions cannot resolve periodontal pockets (areas of loose tissue that allow bacteria to collect). Gingivectomy may be the only solution.
Periodontal Surgery
LANAP is an innovative dentistry treatment that offers several unique benefits that conventional periodontal surgery does not include. When compared to traditional surgery, LANAP offers...
Deep Cleaning
When it is detected early, a professional cleaning and improved at-home care can reverse gum disease. In some cases, a deep cleaning may be necessary to reduce the depth of the pockets between the teeth and gum tissue. During a deep cleaning, known as

Dentures
Certain changes in your facial features and bite can indicate jawbone loss. When tissue volume decrease in your jaw, you may notice that your mouth seems to collapse into your face, your chin becomes more pointed, or wrinkles begin to form around the mouth. In addition, denture-wearers often experience changes in the fit and comfort of their restorations due to bone loss. Your teeth may also begin to shift forward in your mouth.
Overdentures
Implant-supported overdentures are removable like traditional dentures. However, they snap onto implants, making them more stable and secure.

Dental Implants
Bone recession and your natural anatomy can place the maxillary sinuses too close to the upper jaw to safely accommodate a dental implant.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) is a cutting-edge option for treating gum disease without invasive oral surgery. Using a safe dental laser, Dr. Starr can remove diseased soft tissue while leaving healthy gum tissue intact. It's an effective option for enhancing a patient's dental wellness and overall health.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw Surgery For more severe misalignment, you may need surgery to reshape the jaw in combination with braces.
Flap Surgery
This treatment for advanced gum disease is also known as gingival or gum flap surgery and may be necessary if you have periodontal disease that does not respond to scaling and root planing. After removing the plaque and tartar from your teeth, your dentist will create an incision on your gums to access the underlying tooth structure. He will then remove the infected gum tissue, address any bone damage, and remove bacteria that can cause future gum disease.
Gum Surgery
For patients with severe gum disease, gum surgery can restore periodontal health and prevent more serious issues
Tooth Extractions
Dentists only recommend this treatment if it is absolutely necessary. Failure to create a proper foundation for a restoration is risky and could result in the need for tooth extraction in the future.
Ridge Augmentation
If you are a good candidate for ridge augmentation, your doctor can begin designing your treatment plan. X-rays and digital imaging can reveal areas of bone degeneration and help your doctor determine the shape and size of your graft. Additionally, your doctor can ascertain the most suitable grafting material.
Bone Grafting
Using a biocompatible grafting material or tissue from another part of your body, bone grafting can create a stable foundation for

Orthodontics
There is no alternative to a frenectomy that specifically targets the same issue. While orthodontics alone may be sufficient to treat milder cases of overly large labial frenums, braces can’t offset all the effects. It really comes down to a single choice: to undergo surgery or not. It’s that simple.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Clear Aligners Invisalign® and other clear aligners are a discreet option for patients with mild to moderate misalignments.
Braces
Many of our dental traits are directly inherited from our parents. Whether it is the size of our mouths or the alignment of our jaws, the main traits that can lead to crowding are inherited from our parents. If your parents have crooked teeth or needed braces as children, there is a good chance you will too.
