General Dentistry Procedures

Twice-daily brushings and regular flossing are excellent for maintenance between office visits, but a healthy mouth and beautiful smile require routine general and preventative care to stay that way. Our practice offers general care that includes regular oral examinations and cleanings. Our preventative care includes fluoride, professional breath control, and periodontal (gum disease) treatments designed to help you maintain your smile’s health and beauty. Keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free. Contact our office today to schedule a cleaning or consultation.

Family dentistry

Dr. Eltzroth has extensive experience working with children—making the dental experience more enjoyable for everyone. Please contact us today for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Periodontics

Unfortunately, periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile-it can cause loss of teeth and, eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth's soft tissues. Early warning signs of the disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage or, if detected late, we can use one of many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. For more information, please contact our office today.

Restorative

Having a dazzling, healthy smile can make a positive difference in anyone's life-it can restore not only one's youthful appearance, but also the confidence and self-assuredness that come along with it. We offer a full range of restorative dentistry procedures, from missing tooth replacement to endodontics, so no matter what your dental needs, we have a solution. Please contact our office today to schedule a consultation.

Root Canals, featuring the J. Morita Electric Endo handpiece/apex locator

Each of our teeth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp-which provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves-that extends down to the tooth's root. If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth's nerves die and, often, without endodontic treatment, the tooth dies as well. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (performed under anesthesia), a gap is drilled into the tooth's crown and pulp chamber, diseased pulp is reshaped or removed, and the tooth is permanently sealed with a gold, porcelain, or tooth-colored crown.

The cordless Tri Auto ZX is the only endodontic handpiece with a built-in apex locator, allowing the capability and convenience to electronically monitor root canals before, during and after instrumentation. With the combined technology and accuracy of the Root ZX apex locator, the Tri Auto ZX greatly increases accuracy and safety. To learn more about root canals and the Tri Auto ZX, please contact us today.

Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the replacement of missing teeth and related mouth or jaw structures by bridges, dentures, or other artificial devices. We specialize in this area, ensuring your total satisfaction and dental health with each procedure. Our experience in prosthodontics will not only give you aesthetic results, but comfortable ones as well.

Gum Reshaping

Healthy, well-contoured, pink gum tissue compliments and frames the teeth. The aesthetic framing of the gums is just as important to teeth as a quality frame is to a painting. Gum tissue that is injured, swollen and unsymmetrical in appearance detracts from a smile that is otherwise healthy. We have the experience and technology to give you the healthy looking teeth and gums that form the most attractive smiles.

Implants

There are two types of dental implants, surgical and prosthetic. We are one of the rare practices that perform both.

Surgical dental implants attach artificial teeth below the gum line using an anchor. The anchor holds the implant in place, allowing excess bone and gum to grow around it. The end result is a strong, secure tooth that is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Because dental implants require surgery, they are intended only for candidates with sufficient bone and healthy gums. Prosthetic implants are fixtures that are long-lasting, comfortable solutions to serious dental problems that require implants, but do not require surgery. In individual tooth replacement, an aesthetic crown is attached to the implant, mimicking natural teeth. For more information about dental implants, please contact us today.

Sedation Dentistry

To alleviate pain and to ensure our patients maximum comfort during oral treatment, Dr. Eltzroth offers oral sedation. Although our patients are not unconscious under sedation, they are in a complete state of relaxation and cannot feel pain. We will monitor you throughout the procedure to assure your safety. To find out if sedation is the best option for you, please contact us today.

Forensic dentistry

From bitemarks to postmortem and antemortem radiographs, forensic dentistry can help solve crimes. Using knowledge of the unique bone structure of one’s mouth, a forensic dentist often plays a major role in the investigation of complex crimes or to identify victims. Dr. Eltzroth even worked in New York City during the World Trade Center disaster to assist in the identification of victims.

Emergency Service

During an emergency, we’re here for you. At a moment’s notice, we’re available to take care of your concerns with the same quality care you would expect from a scheduled visit. Providing 24-hour, on-call availability is just another way we cater to our patients.
