Dental Implants
Dental implants at Little River Dental offer permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone. Our in-house team handles everything from bone grafting to final restoration, with options including crowns, bridges, and dentures. We use CT scanning and computer-guided surgery for precise placement, ensuring long-term functionality and natural appearance while preserving facial structure.
Root Canal Therapy
Our gentle root canal procedures eliminate tooth infections using advanced diagnostics and nitrous oxide sedation. We remove infected pulp, disinfect the chamber, and place antibacterial fillings to save natural teeth. Most patients receive temporary crowns same-day, with custom permanent crowns fitted after two weeks of healing to restore full functionality.
Teeth Whitening
Professional take-home whitening kits use custom trays and prescription-strength gel for safe, effective stain removal. Our dentists evaluate oral health first to ensure suitability, providing touch-up gel refills during routine cleanings. Treatment addresses discoloration from age, diet, or medications while minimizing sensitivity through personalized application techniques.
Tooth Extractions
We perform extractions for severe decay, trauma, or orthodontic preparation using local anesthesia and nitrous oxide sedation. Wisdom tooth removal addresses impaction issues while socket preservation techniques maintain bone structure for future implants. Post-operative care includes detailed recovery instructions to prevent complications like dry socket.
Family Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services for ages two and up include checkups, cleanings, and preventive education. Our team treats children through seniors with specialized approaches like pulpotomies for kids and denture solutions for seniors. We emphasize early intervention for orthodontic needs and gum disease prevention through regular screenings and personalized hygiene guidance.

Questions
What should I do if I have bad breath?
Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing, and cleaning your tongue. Visit us for regular cleanings and checkups to address underlying causes like gum disease or tooth decay.
How often should I brush and floss?
Brush at least twice daily and floss once daily using proper techniques to remove plaque and prevent gum disease. We recommend soft-bristled brushes and ADA-approved toothpaste.
Are amalgam fillings safe?
Yes, amalgam fillings are safe according to major dental associations. We also offer tooth-colored composite alternatives for patients preferring mercury-free options or visible restorations.
How can cosmetic dentistry improve my smile?
We offer teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding to address discoloration, gaps, and misshapen teeth. Our team creates personalized treatment plans to enhance your smile's aesthetics and functionality.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown, rinse gently with milk or saliva, and reinsert it if possible. Visit us immediately - time is critical for successful reimplantation of knocked-out teeth.
Why straighten teeth?
Straight teeth improve chewing function, reduce gum disease risk, and boost confidence. We offer traditional braces and Invisalign to correct alignment issues and enhance overall oral health.
