Bleaching - Teeth Whitening
Dr. Seward uses a variety of teeth whitening techniques, including Nite White, to transform your smile to its whitest in only a few days.  Call our office to learn more about our teeth whitening options.

Crowns & Bridges
Dr. Seward 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.

Root Canal
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.

Bonding
Bonding is covering the front surface of teeth with durable plastic 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 Fillings
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.

 

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.  Dr. Seward can shape the gum precisely while minimizing bleeding.  In some cases, synthetic bone can be added under the gums to build areas where trauma or gum disease has occurred.

Orthodontic Appliances
We offer fixed or removable orthodontic appliances depending on your orthodontic treatment.  Some appliances are designed to primarily move teeth (orthodontic), while others are used “orthopedically” to modify facial growth. Some appliances have both orthodontic and orthopedic treatment effects.

TMJ/Migraine Therapy
TMJ Dysfunction is a popular term to describe a disorder of the jaw joints or the muscles that control the joints. Symptoms masquerade as a multitude of other problems such as sinus headaches, migraines, neck and shoulder stiffness and earaches. Dr. Seward successfully treats TMJ and Migraines.

Dentures
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.

Diagnodent
Diagnodent is a major breakthrough that allows Dr. Seward to detect tooth decay that x-rays cannot see.   We can now locate hidden decay in it's earliest stage, and with treatment stop the spread of the disease before it destroys the tooth from within.

Infection Control
Dr. Seward's office is OSHA compliant, and follows the same OSHA sterilization recommendations for hospitals.
