These dental exams are a thorough examination of your teeth and mouth using advanced tools. It allows the dentist to check for the health of your teeth, gums, and tissues in the mouth. Detecting any sign of trouble soon gives you a better shot at reversing the problem or dealing with it before it worsens.

Additional Services & FAQs

Root Canal

When an infection affects the pulp of the tooth, root canal therapy is necessary. A root canal involves the removal of the pulp tissue. The dentist will then insert an inert substance in the area previously occupied by the pulp, then place a crown on the teeth for added protection

When you come to our Walnut Park office for a root canal, the dentist will conduct a dental x-ray before numbing the area. He or she will then place a rubber dam around the tooth to prevent the buildup of saliva. After that, he or she will drill into the tooth, remove the pulp, and clean the tooth. The final process includes sealing, filling, and other restorative procedures.

What are the Symptoms of Pulp Infection?

The pulp of the tooth consists of blood vessels and nerves. When bacteria infiltrate the pulp, it causes damage or infection to the area. You may experience symptoms such as swelling, bone loss on the affected tooth, and drainage problem. The most telling sign that you need a root canal therapy is the severe pain you experience. Other key symptoms to look out for include:

  • Prolonged tooth sensitivity
  • Tooth discoloration
  • Swelling of the gum
  • Recurring pimples on the gum

Teeth Whitening

Most people desire to have white teeth. A bright smile adds to your confidence and elevates your standing among people when you come across as one who cares for your dental hygiene. However, it is hard to maintain the whiteness of our teeth with regular brushing and flossing. At Washington Dental, we make it our pursuit to ensure that residents of Walnut Park can enjoy the best whitening services around.

Teeth whitening is a gradual process that depends on the current state of your teeth. Deeply stained teeth take longer to whiten, which is why we encourage you to get whitening sooner.

We use Zoom Technology to make the process faster. Zoom technology uses a zoom light and hydrogen peroxide to make your teeth whiter and brighter. It is a non-invasive procedure, which begins with the preparation of a custom tray for your teeth. The dentist then applies bleach and focuses the zoom light until your teeth achieve the desired whiteness.

Zoom whitening is not for everyone, which is why we first conduct a thorough dental examination to determine the health of your teeth and gums. After the examination, we will recommend the best whitening technique that will work for you.

How Should I Care For My Teeth After Whitening?

Teeth whitening is not a permanent process. Gradually, your teeth will stain and darken. However, the rate at which they stain depends on how you care for them and your eating habits.

After the procedure, you should refrain from taking colored foods, as they will stain your teeth. In addition, you will receive a dental tray that you can apply to your teeth on a monthly basis to keep your teeth white. You can also choose to make regular visits to the dentist to have the whiteness maintained. You can help your teeth remain white by brushing and flossing at least twice a day to remove food particles. You should also avoid foods and beverages such as black tea, coffee, wine, sports drinks, carbonated beverages, berries, and sauces.

If you do have them, brush your teeth immediately or rinse with water to prevent the color from attaching to your teeth.

Oral Cancer

During the dental exam, we examine the tissues in your mouth to identify symptoms of oral cancer. Oral cancer shows symptoms such as:

  • Swellings or lumps in the mouth
  • Speckles, red or white patches in the mouth
  • Unexplained oral bleeding
  • Sores that do not heal within two weeks
  • Ear pain
  • Changes in voice (becomes hoarse)
  • Sudden and unexplained weight loss

If the dentist notices signs of cancer, he or she will collect a sample of the suspicious tissue for further testing. If the test comes positive for cancer, the dentist may recommend treatment options such as surgery followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

Oral Surgery

At Washington Dental, we perform oral surgery both as an emergency and as a treatment procedure. Our dentists are skilled in performing oral surgery to fix issues as follows:

  • Impacted teeth

You get impacted teeth when some of the teeth (mostly wisdom teeth) fail to come out of the jaw completely or remain under the jaw. Impacted teeth can cause soreness, pain, and infection in the gum. When not corrected sooner, they can cause damage to other teeth and the jaw. Impacted teeth require surgical removal.

  • Jaw-related problems

Some of the common jaw-related problems that require surgery include unequal jaw growth, an improper fit of dentures, and temporomandibular joint disorders. Recurring jaw problems that affect the quality of your life can be treated with oral surgery.

  • Overbite/underbite

Overbite or underbite can affect chewing, swallowing, and may cause sleep apnea. Depending on your situation, we may need to perform surgery to align your teeth. If you suffer from sleep apnea, you may need surgery to expand your airway or remove the blockage in your mouth or nasal cavity.

  • Implants

Replacing missing teeth requires the skills of an oral surgeon. Dental implants replace the root of a missing tooth and serve the same purpose as the tooth.

What to Expect During an Oral Surgery

When you visit Washington Dental, the first activity after the reception will be a thorough oral exam. If you require any form of oral surgery, we will examine the health of your jaw and gums and recommend the best way forward. Your dentist can recommend one of the following procedures:

  • Tooth extraction to correct overcrowding, trauma or disease in the mouth
  • Prosthodontics to reshape teeth, apply crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, and dentures.
  • Maxillofacial surgery to correct the jaw and facial deformities such as a cleft-lip palate.

Your dentist will also examine your medical history and take digital x-rays of your mouth. You can prepare for surgery by avoiding food or drink for eight hours prior to surgery.

After the surgery, our team will inform you about the aftercare practices, the types of food you can eat, and organize follow up visits to track your recovery. The recovery time depends on the type of surgery you had. During the recovery period, you should return to our office if you feel something is not right.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is placed on the teeth to protect broken or worn out teeth. The dental crown serves various functions, including the following:

  • To provide support to weak teeth
  • To restore broken teeth
  • To hold dental bridges and implants
  • To cover discolored teeth
  • For cosmetic modifications

We offer various types of dental crowns, including stainless steel, metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin, ceramic, porcelain, and temporary and permanent crowns.

Before placing the dental crown, you will have to go through a dental examination and tooth preparation process. During the preparation, the dentist will check the state of your teeth and any treatment required. For example, if your pulp is damaged, you will need a root canal first.

In addition, the dentist will file your teeth to allow for the crown. In case your tooth is so worn out, he or she will recreate your tooth will fillings. The dentist will then take an impression of your tooth for the preparation of the crown. Once ready, the dentist will attach it to the tooth/teeth using dental cement.

Orthodontics

We understand your desire for a better smile. We offer orthodontic treatment, which begins with an evaluation to give you the information that will help you make the right decision about the treatment you need. Some of our orthodontic treatment options include metal braces, Invisalign and retainers.
