Preventative care to keep your mouth healthy and your smile bright.

Preventative dentistry is the most important service we offer. Regularly scheduled examinations and cleanings will give you the maximum opportunity for long-term dental care. Preventive dental care can help you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile by safeguarding against oral diseases, like dental decay, gum disease, or periodontal disease.

Our goal is to prevent these diseases from happening in the first place or to catch the problems in their early stages when they are easier and less expensive to treat.

At Balais DMD Dentistry, our approach is simple − routine dental cleanings and checkups as well as education and advice that can help you and your family practice good oral hygiene at home.

We focus on each patient individually, catering to your needs, concerns, expectations, and desires. We offer a wide variety of treatments including:

• Dental Care with emphasis on Preventative Dentistry
• Oral Hygiene Maintenance
• Periodontal (gum) Treatment

Comprehensive dental services to save and restore damaged teeth.

Fillings and Crowns
Over time your teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, discoloration and others. Minor tooth fractures, tooth decay, and tooth damage can often be repaired with a dental filling. A root canal and dental crown may be necessary if a tooth has more severe damage.

Crowns can be made from silver, porcelain fused to metal, or gold.

Root Canal
Every tooth consists of three different layers. The outermost and hardest layer is enamel, and the second layer is dentin. The third is pulp, which is the cavernous space where the live tissue and nerve of each tooth is located.

If for any reason the pulp space is exposed to the outside, the tissue becomes contaminated and eventually infected. The exposure of pulp happens in many circumstances, such as when you have a large cavity or a fractured tooth. In these cases, the treatment is usually a root canal.

Extractions
A dental extraction is the procedure to remove a tooth from your mouth. A dental extraction is most commonly required if one of your teeth is damaged beyond practical repair. Tooth extractions are routine dental treatments that help prevent more serious dental problems.

Bridges
Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are used to create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable.

Dentures
Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth as you please. Depending on each individual patient case, they may receive full or partial dentures.

When you have missing teeth, your facial appearance can change, your other teeth can shift, your gums can be damaged and you aren’t able to properly chew your food. With dentures, your smile will be restored, you’ll be able to eat more comfortably, and your appearance will be improved.

Ready to improve your appearance? We have the perfect solution for your smile.

We offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services that can improve the look of your smile. We are happy to talk to you about your concerns, such as stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth. And we will recommend the best solutions for you. 

Natural Tooth Colored Fillings − the color of your fillings can be matched to the natural color of your other teeth. If you need a filling for a tooth that is decayed, broken or worn — or it’s time to replace an unattractive metal filling — a tooth-colored filling is an excellent choice.

Tooth Bonding − involves the use of tooth-colored material to close spaces and repair chips and cracks.

Porcelain Crowns − can be sculpted to closely replicate the look of natural tooth enamel, while providing desirable strength and resilience. Crowns are not limited to simply replacing the original tooth, but can be designed to create an even better esthetic appearance.

Porcelain Veneers − can solve many types of cosmetic dental problems, from gaps in the teeth to stains or badly shaped teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that fit over your teeth, instantly changing the shape, color, and alignment of the teeth.

Teeth Whitening – can lighten teeth and help remove stains and discoloration. Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look.
