General Dental Services

Our doctors use the latest dental diagnostic technology to identify and stop potential decay and damage at the earliest stages.

Comprehensive Dental Exams & Cleanings

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are crucial for maintaining good oral health in adults and children. This is why we include routine dental cleanings as one of our family dentistry services. Our skilled Madison dentist uses the latest dental diagnostic technology to perform thorough exams, identifying potential issues at the earliest stages. During your visit, we will:Clean and polish your teeth, removing plaque and tartarEvaluate your gums for signs of diseaseScreen for oral cancerTake digital X-rays for a detailed view of your oral structuresExamine existing dental workThese routine visits help prevent more serious issues like gum disease and tooth decay, saving you time and money in the long run.

Oral Cancer Screenings

At Madison Dental Care, we understand the significance of early detection in treating oral cancer. That’s why during your regular dental check-up, we conduct a thorough and gentle oral cancer screening.We meticulously examine your mouth for any signs of tissue abnormalities that could potentially indicate the presence of oral cancer. This proactive approach to screening can make a real difference in improving treatment outcomes and promoting overall oral health.

Gum Disease Treatment

Healthy gums are essential for a healthy mouth. Our team is skilled in diagnosing and treating various stages of gum disease, preserving your oral health, and preventing more serious complications. Dental procedures such as scaling and root planing can halt and even reverse the effects of gum disease during early stages.

Dental Fillings

If you have a cavity, our skilled dental team will carefully remove the decay and then restore your tooth with a high-quality dental filling. Preserving the natural tooth structure during restorations is crucial to maintaining the integrity of your teeth. We use safe and durable materials to ensure the longevity of the restoration. Our primary objective is to halt the progression of decay and safeguard your smile from any further damage.

Tooth Extractions

While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes a tooth extraction is necessary to protect your oral health. Our skilled team performs tooth extractions with precision and care, ensuring your comfort throughout the process.We may recommend extraction for severely damaged or decayed teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. After extraction, we’ll discuss options for replacing the tooth if needed, such as dental implants or bridges.

Root Canal Therapy

When the soft tissue called pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canals can save your natural tooth and relieve pain. Preserving more natural tooth structure through root canal therapy not only strengthens the tooth but also enhances patient comfort and treatment outcomes. By removing infected pulp tissue, root canal therapy with our Madison dentist can prevent the need for tooth extraction while alleviating pain at the source.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up?

We recommend visiting a dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleaning. However, some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health needs. Your dentist will work with you to determine the best schedule for your individual situation.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes, dental X-rays are safe. Advanced digital X-ray technology emits significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. Dentists also use protective measures to ensure your safety during the process.

How can I prevent cavities?

Preventing cavities involves a combination of good oral hygiene at home and regular dental visits. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, eat a balanced diet low in sugar, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Preventive treatments like dental sealants or fluoride applications can also reduce the risk of tooth decay.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

If you experience a dental emergency, such as severe pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken dental appliance, contact a dentist immediately. Don’t attempt DIY solutions, as these may cause further damage.
