Compassionate Dental Care for Children
A lifetime of good oral hygiene and habits begins during childhood. Our Las Vegas family dentists and their team are committed to helping your child understand the importance of keeping their smile healthy. Not only will we explain treatments and procedures using kid-friendly language, but we can also take breaks during their appointment when needed, so they don't feel overwhelmed or rushed.
A crucial component of our children's dental care is orthodontics. Our practice has the tools to monitor your child's smile and provide orthodontic intervention to help prevent dental complications. We offer removable appliances that can be worn during the day and night to help guide your child's teeth into place. In addition to traditional appliances, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners starting at age 11. However, for more complex orthodontic problems, we may refer you to an orthodontist.
Our dental services for children include the following:
Respectful Dentistry for Teens
Our Las Vegas family dentist has treated countless teens and understands proper oral care may not be high on their priority list. That's why we emphasize reinforcing good oral habits that were started in childhood to create a smooth dental transition into adulthood. At the beginning and end of every visit, we will go over at-home dental care instructions, like how to properly floss, and answer any questions they may have. Whether your teen needs a routine teeth cleaning or sports guards, you can count on our team. We're also able to provide Invisalign treatment for responsible teens.
Comprehensive Adult Dentistry
Adults have the most diverse dental needs of any age group. They may require anything from routine dental cleaning to a more complex procedure, like tooth extraction. Our Las Vegas dentist can accommodate any adult patient, regardless of how long it's been since their last dental appointment. Our dental team has the knowledge and technology to get any smile back on track and keep it looking and feeling its best. From restorations to TMD and bruxism treatment, we have the skills and experience to meet your needs.
Treating Sleep Apnea
If you're suffering from sleep apnea, you know that it can negatively impact your life in more ways than one. It can rob you of a good night's sleep and contribute to serious health problems like high blood pressure. Our practice offers sleep apnea treatment, including home sleep tests and appliance creation. However, depending on your sleep apnea severity, we may refer you to a sleep specialist.
Dental Care for Seniors
Seniors have similar dental needs to adults; however, there's a greater emphasis on gum health. Untreated periodontal disease, caused by the buildup of plaque, can lead to bone loss and worsen heart complications. Our practice offers services to treat and prevent gum disease.
Our Las Vegas family dentist values gum health education. Brushing and flossing are crucial preventive tools, but other factors play an important part in gum health prevention. Our hygienists can walk you through what to look out for and what you can do at home to prevent gum disease. Some factors that can lead to or exacerbate gum disease include:
- Smoking/Using Tobacco: Tobacco use is directly linked to gum disease. Smoking tobacco can weaken your body's immune system and make it harder to fight off infections. Tobacco can slow down your mouth's healing process and complicate recovery if you already have gum damage.
- Medications: Saliva is a lubricant for your gums and prevents hard friction. Certain medications can reduce the amount of saliva in your mouth and cause inflammation and irritation. We'll provide you with a comprehensive list of medications that can reduce your mouth's saliva production.
