Are you curious about the many ways we can help you maintain good oral health?
There are many times in which you might want to turn to our Lansing, MI, cosmetic dentist, Dr. Scott Stone, for advice. Of course, besides coming in every six months for routine visits you may be stumped as to when else you may want to schedule an appointment, book a consultation or call our office. We provide a little insight into the services we offer our patients.
Diagnostic Services
Every time you come into our office for routine care we perform a thorough oral exam. Once a year, we will also run x-rays to check the health of your teeth, gums, soft tissue and jawbone. If you experience symptoms of gum disease or a fractured tooth, you will need to come in for other diagnostic screenings, as well.
Prevention
Did you know that decay and gum disease can be prevented with the proper care? Why else do you think it’s so important to visit our Lansing general dentist every six months for cleanings and exams? During these cleanings, we can remove tartar buildup, which at-home brushing can’t remove. Only our specialized tools can get rid of hardened plaque to prevent gum disease and cavities.
Cosmetic Enhancements
Sometimes all you want is to improve the overall appearance of your smile. Maybe this involves changing the shape of one tooth or you want to get a complete smile makeover. We offer everything from teeth whitening and dental bonding to dental implants and full transformations to cater to your specific goals.
Restorative Dentistry
If you injured a tooth while playing football or an infection has permanently damaged your tooth, there are a variety of situations in which restorative dentistry could help you. Common restorative dentistry options include:
- Dental fillings
- Onlays/inlays
- Crowns and bridges
- Dental implants
- Dentures
Gum and Root Canal Care
Your gums, as well as the structures within the tooth, also require special care from time to time. If you are dealing with swollen, red or bleeding gums, this could all be signs of gum disease. Dental pain can also be warning you of an infected dental pulp. All of these problems are considered dental emergencies and need to be addressed by us right away.
Whether you want to schedule a consultation to learn more about how cosmetic dentistry can help you or you want to book a routine cleaning, turn to the dental experts at Smile by Stone in Lansing, MI, to maintain a happy, healthy smile.
