Veneers
If you teeth are chipped, broken, or discolored, porcelain veneers
are a great way to change the color and shape of your teeth. A
porcelain veneer is a covering over the tooth that gives natural
color and bridges small gaps. Veneers can be a great alternative to
braces for slight orthodontic problems and provide a beautiful smile
in a short amount of time.
Bleaching - Teeth
Whitening
Dr. Schlobohm uses a variety of teeth whitening techniques,
including Zoom, to get your teeth their whitest and brightest.
Zoom teeth
whitening is the revolutionary in-office process that gets your
teeth their whitest in just over an hour. Our in-home teeth
whitening kits are easy to use and great results are achieved in 4
to 6 weeks. Call our office to learn more about our teeth whitening
options.
Crowns & Bridges
Dr. Schlobohm provides excellent restorative dental care. If your
teeth are damaged or decayed, crowns may be constructed to restore
them back to their original form. If you have missing teeth, a
bridge may be utilized. These restorations are cemented onto the
teeth and are referred to as "fixed" dentistry as opposed to a
restoration of missing teeth with a removable appliance or partial
denture.
Implants
Implants are an increasingly popular alternative to dentures, crowns
and bridges. They have many advantages, including their natural
appearance, improved comfort and unequaled convenience. If you are
considering implants, we can discuss the considerations and help you
make the decision that is right for you.
Bonding
Bonding is covering the front surface of teeth with a composite
to either change the tooth's color or shape, or the rebuild broken
teeth. Bonding is similar to veneers, but not as strong, but it is
a low-cost way to improve your smile. Bonding is great for children
who have chipped front teeth and for adults who need an alternative
for veneers and understand the limitations.
Tooth Colored
Restorations
Inlays and Onlays are tooth-colored restorations that are used in
place of silver fillings on the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
This approach has become very popular due to concern about mercury
content in silver fillings (amalgam) and they are less attractive.
Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal(gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis,
are serious infections that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss.
Recent studies suggest a link between heart disease and periodontal
disease.

Endodontic Treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as
endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure in which the diseased or
damaged nerve of a tooth is removed so that the tooth can be saved
or restored. Our office utilizes a procedure that is both
comfortable and completed in less time than previous methods.
Gum Therapy / Shaping
If the shape or fullness or your gums is a problem, the contours and
shape of the gums can be changed to provide a more attractive
appearance and protect the teeth. Using lasers, Dr. Schlobohm
can sculpt the gum precisely while minimizing bleeding. In some
cases, the laser can also be used where gum disease has occurred.
Dentures/Partials
While we wish no one would ever need dentures, sometimes
they are the most reasonable option. In the past wearing dentures
was the only form of dentistry available to improve a person’s
smile. When they are indicated we take the time necessary to create
attractive, well fitting dentures. They can’t beat a set of your own
teeth when they are healthy and straight, but when natural teeth
can’t be restored dentures look great and chew well.
If a person has lost too much of their jawbone
to steady their dentures, implants can be placed. The dentures are
attached to the implants to hold them firmly in place. If you have
this problem, call us for a consultation appointment.
Digital
Radiographs(X-rays)
Digital radiography is the latest way to take and evaluate
radiographs. Digital X-rays require 90% less radiation than
conventional dental x-rays. Digital X-rays also produce a large
image, which makes it easier for patients to see and understand what
is happening to their teeth.
Intraoral Camera
We use small cameras right inside your mouth to take highly
magnified digital photos of your teeth. These photos can then be
displayed on a computer screen for both patient and doctor.
Intra-oral photos allow our patients to view what the dentist sees
when they are evaluating your teeth.
