Our dentists know that oral health is vital to optimal health. We bring a team that consists of a licensed dentist, a dental assistant, and a certified x-ray technician to the nursing home on a scheduled date to provide:
Oral Exams: The dentist checks for gum disease, loose, broken, or decaying teeth, mouth cancer, infections, and loose, worn or ill-fitting dentures or partials.
Cleanings: Scheduled regularly to help prevent future problems.
X-rays: Digital x-rays are taken to help diagnose and treat dental problems.
Fillings: When necessary, to save teeth or relieve pain.
Extractions: When necessary, if the tooth cannot be saved or becomes infected.
Dentures and Partials: Repairs, relines, and fabrication of new dentures and partials. Many repairs and relines can be done on the day of the visit.
Prevention: We provide the necessary care to prevent or correct problems. An individual treatment plan is prepared for each patient and a copy of all documentation of treatment is kept at the facility as well as our office.
