Jonestown Dental Associates
What sets us apart from other offices? At Jonestown Dental Associates we tailor every treatment plan to what works for each individual patient. In addition, JDA offers services in most cases, that you would have to go to a specialist for saving you vital time and money. Read on for descriptions of some of our most common procedures and schedule an appointment with one of our doctors to learn more.
Implant Placement and Restoration
Implants are one of the most modern procedures in dentistry. They are anchored directly into the bone and can be used to restore from one tooth to an entire mouth. The process is broken up into a surgical and restorative component. Since 2014, we have been able to perform both aspects in our office. This helps our patients, because in most cases the entire procedure is done under one roof. This is beneficial because we can control all aspects as general dentists, and save our patients a significant amount of money.
Complex Surgeries and Bone Grafting:
In most cases our skilled general dentists can remove teeth painlessly and efficiently. Often this is a procedure you would be referred to an Oral Surgeon to perform.
If a patient has the intention of having an Implant in the future, we can place bone (Bone Graft) in the area where an extraction was done to shorten the time until you can have an implant placed. In addition, if you are not ready to have the implant placed it reinforces the space, allowing your bone to get thicker.
Endodontics (Root Canals)
A Root Canal is performed when the internal nerve of a tooth is infected or is exposed to a cavity or the Oral environment. This often can cause pain, swelling and if left untreated the loss of a tooth. During the process we gain access through the tooth removing the affected nerves & Pulp. We then fill the nerve canals with a material that does not react with the surrounding tissue. This will reduce the chance of additional infection, pain, swelling, and loss of the tooth. Often after this procedure we will do a crown.
Teeth Whitening When performed by a dentist, teeth whitening, or bleaching, is quite effective. Your dentist will use a highly concentrated bleaching solution to whisk away stains caused by common foods, beverages, tobacco, age, and/or tetracycline medications. This procedure can be done in the comfort of your own home. With our professional take-home kits in about two weeks, with this system you can expect up to 10 shades difference. If a short-term solution is not what you are looking for, ask about our Lifetime Bleaching, or consider porcelain veneers or cosmetic bonding to indefinitely eliminate stains.
