IV Sedation Dentistry
Story City Dental offers IV sedation for patients seeking anxiety-free dental care. This method allows complex procedures to be completed in one or two visits while ensuring comfort and safety. Our team includes a dedicated Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist to monitor sedation throughout appointments. Patients benefit from reduced treatment time and elimination of procedural stress, making it ideal for those with dental phobias or special needs.
Dental Implants
We provide surgical placement and restoration of dental implants to replace missing teeth. Using advanced 3D imaging and CEREC technology, we create customized implant solutions that mimic natural teeth in function and appearance. Our process includes pre-operative planning, bone grafting when necessary, and same-day crown fabrication. Implants offer long-term durability and preserve jawbone health, making them a superior alternative to bridges or dentures.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers to improve dental aesthetics. We utilize digital smile design and 3D scanning to create personalized treatment plans. Clear aligners and bonding address alignment and discoloration issues, while porcelain veneers offer transformative results for damaged or misshapen teeth. These procedures enhance confidence through natural-looking, durable restorations tailored to individual facial structures.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We perform surgical extractions of impacted wisdom teeth using IV sedation for patient comfort. Our team handles complex cases including fully bony impactions without referring to specialists. The procedure involves precise bone preservation techniques to minimize post-operative complications. Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth recovery, with follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
Family Dentistry
Our practice offers comprehensive dental care for all ages, from pediatric checkups to geriatric dentistry. Services include preventive cleanings, cavity treatment, and gum disease management tailored to different life stages. We emphasize early education for children through interactive exams and parental guidance. For adults, we integrate periodontal care with overall health considerations, addressing conditions like diabetes that affect oral health.
