Dental Implants

Is Losing a Tooth Bad?

Losing even one tooth can cause your other teeth to shift. This IS bad. Missing a tooth can change your ability to chew and hinder your ability to absorb your food's nutrients. If you have several missing teeth, your face may begin to look sunken. Your ability to speak may be impaired.

We recommend replacing missing teeth with dental implants. They look natural, they work like real teeth, and even a dentist will have a hard time telling the difference.

Sedation Dentistry

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Sedation makes treatment relaxing, so if you are nervous and want to relax—or calm but want to relax even more—we can give you nitrous oxide (laughing gas). You simply inhale it through a mask. Coupled with a local anesthetic, we assure you your treatment will be relaxing and pain-free. We also have blankets and heated towels available for patient comfort.

Dental Root Canals

Saving Teeth

In the past, if your tooth's roots were damaged or infected, the tooth had to be pulled. Now, we can often save the tooth without pulling it by performing a root canal. Dr. Holness's training in root canal procedures makes treatment easier for you. And it is more effective. In a root canal, the dentist fixes your tooth by removing the inside of the affected tooth and injecting a special filling, which is then packed in place.

Dentists Are the First Line of Defense for Elder Abuse

With the American population living longer, seniors' oral health has become an important issue, as has the widespread problem of elder abuse. Every year more than 2.5 million older Americans may be victims of elder abuse, and in some cases dentists serve as the first line of defense, according to a report in the May/June 2005 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).
