Sanger Dentistry

A dental cleaning typically begins with a dentist inspecting the teeth and gums. These services include regular dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, and an in-depth oral examination. Our dental hygienist also uses lasers and antibiotics post-procedurally to kill bacteria deeper than the reach of dental instrumentations. Your dentist may give you a fluoride treatment to keep your teeth strong, take X-rays to assess the integrity of the entire tooth, and give you educational information on how to have healthier teeth.

We use high-quality materials, such as zirconia, and the latest technology to restore teeth. Crowns are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to rebuild its size and shape, improve its appearance, and strengthen your tooth. You may need a crown if you have had significant tooth decay, large fillings, or if you have had root canal therapy. A dental bridge, meanwhile, replaces one or more of your missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent teeth. They are anchored in place by either dental crowns or other devices on either side of the gap.

A type of dental restoration that replace missing teeth with artificial devices. They are removable and able to be easily cleaned. You may require dentures/partials if you have lost some or all your natural teeth due to tooth decay, gum disease, injury, or age-related tooth loss. Dentures help you to chew and speak, in addition to restoring the aesthetics of the smile. Complete dentures are used when all your natural teeth are missing in your upper or lower arch, or both. Partial dentures are used when you still have some natural teeth in your dental arch. They fill in the gaps created by your absent teeth and prevent your remaining teeth from becoming mispositioned.

We are specialized in the treatment of teeth that have had root canals. Endodontists are dental professionals who are trained to handle more complicated cases, including root canals, because they focus on diagnosing and treating dental pulp and the tissues surrounding at the root of your teeth. We can use various techniques to clean and repair teeth, including local anesthesia and sometimes surgery.

Dentistry that deals with the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases, meaning they involve your gums, teeth, jawbone, and your periodontal ligament. The term “periodontal” refers to the structures around the teeth. These diseases can range from gingivitis to periodontitis and one unique treatment that we provide for gum disease is ARESTIN. If you have an infection, Dr. Mann and his team of dental professionals in Sanger can give you an antibiotic that is applied directly at the site of your infection in the gum pockets. Our team also specializes in the use of diode lasers to kill bacteria below the gums.

Surgical procedures that are performed on the mouth and teeth. Oral surgery is often necessary when serious problems with the mouth or teeth arise. You may require surgery if you need to extract your tooth, dental implants, bone grafting, and other complex problems. To assist with surgical procedures, we also offer Zolar dental diode lasers to contour and make precise incisions in your gums and other soft tissues. This helps eliminate bleeding and decreases healing time. These devices help with preparations, sterilize root canals, and can treat periodontal diseases. They can even help to whiten your teeth.
