Services
At Carolina Dental Center, our top priority is providing our patients with the highest quality care. We take the time to explain every procedure and never rush our patients, ensuring that they feel comfortable and confident about their treatment.
A tooth shaped cap that restores a decayed, broken, weak, or worn down tooth. The dentist also uses crowns to cover dental implants and root canal treated teeth, improve cosmetics, or for full mouth reconstruction cases to open a collapsed bite.
Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to replace a missing tooth and restore a patient's ability to chew and their esthetics. Implants can also provide support or retention for artificial teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dentures are a replacement for teeth that have been lost, whether it be a complete arch or a partial arch. Complete dentures cover your entire upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures replace one or multiple teeth where there are still retained teeth on that same arch.
Bridges
A dental prosthesis that is cemented or bonded to natural teeth to replace a missing tooth or teeth. A fixed bridge can also be cemented onto dental implants. Each bridge contains abutments or retainers which are the part that supports or retains the prosthesis, and a pontic that replaces the missing tooth.
Snoring Treatment
We utilize a custom fit dental appliance specifically designed to treat snoring by slightly advancing your lower jaw to open the airway while you sleep. This appliance consists of upper and lower trays to be worn only while sleeping, and also mitigates bruxism (clenching and grinding).
Porcelain Veneers
Custom porcelain or ceramic coverings that fit over the front surfaces of the teeth in order to conceal cosmetic imperfections.
Cleanings
A dental cleaning is a procedure performed by the hygienist to thoroughly clean your teeth to maintain healthy gums, reduce the accumulation of harmful bacteria as dental plaque, and prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease. Cleanings are recommended every 6 months.
Teeth Whitening
Custom trays are made to fit intimately to your upper and lower teeth to be worn at home with dental bleaching gel in order to achieve a brighter, whiter smile.
Extractions
Extractions are the removal of non-restorable teeth. If a patient elects to replace a tooth with an implant in the future, we prepare the extraction site with bone grafting to preserve the height and width of the ridge in the extraction site.
Emergency Exams
Any condition for which evaluation or treatment are immediately necessary to prevent death, severe or permanent disability, or to alleviate or lessen disabling pain.
Peridontal Therapy
for Gum Disease
This is a type of non-surgical treatment for gum disease (periodontitis) with the goal to control and manage periodontal disease without the need for surgery. This procedure, also known as scaling and root planing, helps to restore optimal gum health and prevent tooth loss.
Root Canal
A root canal is treatment to remove the nerve and blood supply of an infected or badly decayed/damaged tooth. Root canals allow us to save some teeth instead of extracting them.
