General Dentistry

Our general dentistry services are concerned with helping our patients improve their dental health and overall health. General dentistry procedures help our dentist and staff diagnose and treat a range of teeth, gum, and jaw problems before they result in more painful, larger, and expensive issues.

Making regular visits to your dentist can help you save a significant amount of money in the long run, as procedures like routine exams, cleanings, and oral cancer screenings help us identify problems in the early stages.

Consultations

A dental health consultation gives new patients a chance to get to know our staff and dentist. It also helps our staff evaluate your dental health, discuss your treatment options, answer any questions you may have, and help you establish a treatment plan.

X-rays

Digital radiography or X-rays use small sensors instead of traditional film. There are many advantages to using digital X-rays. They use 80-90% less radiation, save time, and allow your dentist to view enhanced digital “x-rays” of your mouth and teeth. These images give us the clearest view of your tissues while reducing the amount of radiation your tissues are exposed to.

Pediatric Dentistry

Part of our goal with children’s dental services is to create a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment for children and their families. This way, kids develop positive associations with the dentist, and help them develop healthy smiles for life.

Dental Exams & Cleanings

For most healthy patients, regular dental cleanings are recommended bi-annually. This typically involves preventive and diagnostic services including removing tartar, plaque, calculus, and stains from the surface of teeth, X-rays, polishing the teeth, gum disease evaluations, and oral cancer screenings.

TMD/TMJ Treatments

TMJ disorders can cause jaw pain and difficulty in jaw movement. Matt Philson, D.D.S., PC offers various treatments such as relaxation techniques, physical therapy, surgery, and custom-fit oral appliances to address this condition. Experience relief from TMJ-related issues including ear, tooth, and jaw joint pain.

Geriatric Dentistry

As we age, our dental healthcare needs change. Geriatric dentistry is the dental care for older adults, which includes diagnosing, preventing, and treating common problems associated with aging. Our goal is to help our older patients maintain good oral health so they can maintain good overall health.

Restorative Dentistry

When our teeth are healthy, you can easily take for granted things such as smiling, eating, talking, and laughing. If you are missing teeth due to an accident or dental condition, these things can become increasingly difficult. Restorative dentistry focuses on helping you regain a natural-looking, radiant smile. Together, our dental healthcare team will help you find the treatment options to fit your situation and return function, aesthetics, and strength back to your teeth. Together, we can help you achieve a bright, long-lasting smile.

Crown & Bridge Restorations

Matt Philson, D.D.S., PC offers dental crown treatments to repair tooth decay or severe damage. Crown materials are chosen based on the location in the mouth. Additionally, dental bridges help prevent tooth shifting and discomfort caused by missing teeth, with options for removable or permanent placement.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are an ideal restoration option for missing teeth caused by decay or extractions. The implants consist of metal frames or posts surgically inserted into the jawbone, providing stability. Once fused, custom crowns or prosthetics are mounted, improving the aesthetics and function of your teeth. Dental implants offer a natural look, strength, and durability.

Periodontal Disease

It is important to schedule regular visits to the dentist to monitor and identify any signs of gum disease, even if you feel healthy and do not exhibit any symptoms. Gum (periodontal) disease can progress without a patient knowing. If left untreated, it can destroy the supporting bones in a patient’s mouth. Early prevention and treatment are essential for this reason. We provide you with the highest level of care to help prevent gum disease and help you maintain great oral health.

Oral Surgery

An Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon completes an additional four to six years of formal training to develop expertise in treating the craniomaxillofacial complex. This allows them to diagnose and treat a variety of neck and head conditions and injuries. Some of these conditions include dental implants, wisdom teeth extraction, misaligned jaws, oral cancer, apicoectomy, and temporomandibular (TMJ) joint pain.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored or composite fillings can help you achieve a more natural-looking smile, while also adding protection against broken teeth in the future. Composite fillings also provide teeth with improved strength, and stability, while matching the color of your teeth. When placing your filling, we carefully match the material to your existing tooth structure. This also enhances the aesthetics of your smile. In addition, composite material can be used to correct cracks in teeth, gaps, and cover up stains.

Root Canal Therapy (Endodontics)

Root Canal Therapy or Endodontics treats tooth infections caused by cavities or trauma. Regular dental visits can help prevent the need for this procedure. Symptoms of an infected pulp include sensitivity, pain, swelling, and a persistent bad taste in the mouth. Early detection during routine dental visits is important for prompt treatment.

Prosthodontics

Prosthodontic care includes a range of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures including crowns, bridges, dental implants, veneers, and more. These services are provided by both general dentists and prosthodontic specialists.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Enhance your smile with our cosmetic dental treatments, such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and dental bonding.

Laser Dentistry

Our laser dentistry procedures utilize cutting-edge BIOLASE technology, renowned for its precision, efficiency, and patient comfort. Treatment options range from restoring function to enhancing aesthetics, including gum disease treatment, oral surgery, teeth whitening, and cavity treatment. Laser dentistry provides numerous advantages, such as reduced need for anesthesia, minimal bleeding, and controlled swelling, ensuring a comfortable and efficient dental experience.
