Your teeth don’t need the same thing at 7 that they need at 47. Kids need someone keeping an eye on how their teeth come in. Adults start thinking about old fillings, a cracked molar, or a smile they’d like to brighten. Later on, a missing tooth can change how you eat and how comfortable you feel talking or laughing. A lot of families end up bouncing between several offices to cover all of it.
We’d rather you didn’t have to. At Shemen Dental Group, our office on Care Circle provides preventive, general, restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic dentistry for children, teens, and adults. One team gets to know your history, and that makes it easier to plan ahead with you instead of reacting to problems as they show up.
Preventive Visits Catch Problems Early
Routine cleanings and exams are where most good dental care happens. They give us a chance to notice small changes before they turn into something that needs a crown or a bigger repair. Depending on what you need, a preventive visit with us can include:
- Professional cleaning and a thorough exam
- Digital X-rays
- A periodontal evaluation, plus deep cleaning when your gums need it
- Oral cancer screening with VELscope technology
For our younger patients, children’s dentistry centers on healthy development, cavity prevention, and brushing and flossing habits that actually stick at home.
Repair Options When a Tooth Is Damaged or Missing
Teeth crack, wear down, and sometimes have to come out. When that happens, you have more than one path forward, and we’ll walk you through which one fits your situation:
- Dental implants replace missing teeth.
- Crowns cover and strengthen a tooth that’s been compromised. We offer both traditional and same-day crowns.
- Bridges fill the space when you’re missing teeth in a row.
- Dentures are available as well.
Same-day crowns and veneers with CEREC
A traditional crown usually means two appointments with a temporary in between. Our office uses CEREC technology to design and create ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers during a single visit. In the right cases, that means no temporary and no second trip back to the office.
Cosmetic and Orthodontic Treatment for a Smile You Like
For alignment, we offer Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, and Invisalign Express. These clear aligners give eligible adults and younger patients a way to straighten their teeth without traditional braces. When we build a treatment plan, we look at how your teeth function as well as how they look, so the result works for your bite and your goals.
Help for Jaw Pain and Sleep Apnea
Some of what we treat goes beyond the teeth themselves. If you deal with jaw discomfort, we can evaluate you for TMJ disorders and put together a treatment plan based on what’s actually causing your symptoms.
We also offer the TAP 3 oral appliance for obstructive sleep apnea. It’s an oral appliance option for patients whose sleep-related breathing concerns are a good fit for this type of treatment. If you have questions about whether it could help you, bring them to your next visit.
Why Families Stay With One Practice
Continuity matters. When your kids and the adults in your household see the same office, your dentist has a fuller picture of your oral health over time. Pair that with tools like digital X-rays, VELscope, and CEREC, and diagnosis and treatment can happen more smoothly, often with fewer separate appointments.
Cost shouldn’t keep you from getting care you need. We offer third-party financing through CareCredit and Cherry so you can spread out payments on larger treatments.
