Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry at St. Marys Dental addresses aesthetic concerns like discoloration, chips, and gaps. Services include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and bonding to create natural-looking, confident smiles. Our dentists use advanced techniques to ensure durable, personalized results that align with patients' facial aesthetics and lifestyle needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts that mimic natural roots. St. Marys Dental offers implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures to restore function and prevent jawbone deterioration. Our team uses 3D imaging for precise placement, ensuring long-term stability and oral health benefits.
General Dentistry
General dentistry services include exams, cleanings, and early detection of oral health issues. We emphasize preventive care to avoid gum disease, cavities, and TMJ disorders. Digital X-rays, oral cancer screenings, and fluoride treatments ensure comprehensive protection for patients of all ages.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea treatment involves custom oral appliances that reposition the jaw to keep airways open during sleep. St. Marys Dental collaborates with physicians to diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea, offering alternatives to CPAP machines for improved comfort and adherence to therapy.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry enables precise, comfortable procedures with reduced bleeding and faster healing. Applications include gum reshaping, frenectomies, and periodontal therapy. This technology eliminates the need for traditional drills and sutures, enhancing patient experience during cosmetic and restorative treatments.
