Preventative Dentistry

Preventative dentistry means to take care of all the routine cleaning and tooth maintenance, before cavities and tooth decay ever have a chance to form. With proper dental care and direction, we can reach this goal with all our patients.

• Prevent tooth problems with regular exams & cleanings.
• Detect cancer in its early and most treatable stages with oral cancer screenings.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is all about bringing mouths back into use. When you have one or more missing or damaged teeth, you may experience difficulty eating, chewing, or even speaking properly. And (if you’re missing one of the front teeth), it can detract from your appearance as well, affecting your confidence and self-esteem!

• Replace a missing tooth with a dental bridge.
• Teeth damaged beyond repair can be removed by extractions.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Sometimes, a thorough tooth cleaning and improved at-home care are all that’s needed to enhance your smile. On the other hand, sometimes you need a little extra help! If you’re feeling a bit self-conscious about your teeth, or perhaps want to look you best for an important event, consider a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

• Increase confidence and restore your smile with teeth whitening.

Sedation Dentistry

Our dedicated team strives to ensure every patient is comfortable and relaxed from the moment they arrive at our Lake in the Hills dental practice. At Compassionate Dental Care, compassion is in our name for a reason. However, we also understand that despite our best efforts there are patients who experience severe dental anxiety or phobia and need extra help relaxing during their dental visits. For anxious patients, those who have sensitive teeth or gums, and those in need of extensive or multiple treatments, we offer multiple options for sedation dentistry.

• Experience comfortable, relaxing, pain-free treatment with nitrous oxide sedation.
• Patients take a pre-medication for relaxed treatment via oral-conscious sedation.
• With our anesthesiologist, medication is delivered to the bloodstream during intravenous (IV) sedation.

Periodontics

Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the gums and/or surrounding soft tissue, caused by a buildup of bacteria. The best way to prevent such infections is to practice good brushing, flossing, and nutrition every day. However, once infection does occur, we have several effective ways to treat the condition. These fall into the treatment category we call periodontics.

• Treat gum disease on an ongoing basis with periodontal maintenance.
• Remove tough buildup from your teeth with ultrasonic cleaning.
• Remove plaque, calcification, and buildup with scaling and root planing.
• Eliminate periodontal infections more effectively with laser treatment
• Treat and prevent gum disease with pocket reduction surgery.
• Reshape/remove excessive gum tissue with crown lengthening.
• When teeth are left exposed by receding gums, treat them with a gingival graft
• Treat gum recession that’s led to resorption with guided bone regeneration
• Use at-home trays and solutions to treat periodontal disease with Perio Protect^®.

Endodontics

The portion of teeth we can see is really just the “tip of the iceberg.” Within your mouth, bone and gum tissue surround and supports each tooth, and approximately two-thirds (the root portion) is in the jaw bone. Furthermore, inside every tooth is a canal or series of canals (depending on the number of roots and variety of teeth). Each canal has a vein, artery, and nerve inside. Collectively, we refer to this portion as the pulp. Sometimes this pulp becomes irritated or infected, usually due to trauma or advanced tooth decay. In these cases, a root canal (a.k.a. endodontic treatment/endodontics) may be necessary in order to save the tooth.

• Relieve a painful or infected tooth with root canal treatment.
• Root canals that become re-infected are treated with an apicoectomy.
• Treat infections of the teeth and gums with an abscess removal.
• Lighten stains located within the tooth with internal bleaching.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

Those with snoring and sleep apnea probably know it. You also know your partner nudged you a few times to tell you to ‘quit snoring’. And once you were awake, it took you hours to fall back to sleep. You wonder “Will I ever wake up again – full of energy and rested?”

Well, you aren’t alone. You aren’t the only one wondering when you’ll wake fully recharged and full of zest. Over half of all adults – 50% of the population – are getting less than the recommended amount of daily sleep. In addition, your sleep issues not only affect you, but it also burdens your bed partner and sometimes your entire family’s lives as well.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth can emerge anytime in the late teenage years, 20’s or even in a person’s early 30’s. Dentists often recommend to remove wisdom teeth (extraction) before they begin to emerge, because their positioning can cause disruption or damage to surrounding teeth.

Even when wisdom teeth do emerge correctly, they experience higher rates of cavities and tooth decay because they are so hard to reach when brushing and flossing. If you’ve heard that you or your teen needs thier wisdom teeth removed, don’t wait until it causes pain or other problems.

Technologies

When it comes to technologies in dentistry, Compassionate Dental Care is always happy to make the investment on behalf of our patients. The field of dentistry is ever-changing, and we have developed an effective strategy of incorporating new advancements in technology while also maintaining traditional and proven methods.

• Crowns and other restorations made in one visit with CEREC®.

• For ultimate precision, many of our procedures are aided by intraoral cameras.
