Maintaining a healthy smile begins with prioritizing preventive dentistry. By scheduling regular cleanings and exams, we can identify and address minor concerns like cavities before they escalate into more serious and costly issues down the line. When complemented by a consistent at-home brushing and flossing routine, preventive care has the potential to eliminate the majority of dental problems. Nurturing strong oral health habits from a young age significantly increases the likelihood of carrying those habits into adulthood for a lifetime of dental wellness.

Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating dental issues that affect the structure and function of teeth. It involves various procedures aimed at restoring teeth to their optimal state, both aesthetically and functionally. Common restorative treatments include fillings, crowns, and extractions for our little ones.  The goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the health and integrity of the teeth while improving the patient’s overall oral health and smile.

Sedation dentistry is a specialized approach that uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience anxiety, fear, or discomfort related to dental visits. There are several levels of sedation that Dr. Ivory can discuss with you to determine the best approach for your child. Common methods of sedation include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), intravenous (IV) sedation, and general anesthesia at the local hospital. The primary goal of sedation dentistry is to enhance patient comfort and make dental care more accessible for those who may have difficulty receiving treatment.

Minimally invasive dentistry is an approach that focuses on preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible while providing dental treatment. This technique emphasizes early detection and prevention of dental issues, using advanced technology and techniques that require less drilling and fewer invasive procedures such as Silver Diamine Fluoride.
