Same-Day CEREC Crowns

When a tooth needs a larger restoration, we can often use CEREC technology. We can use CAD/CAM technology to custom-design and fabricate tooth-colored restorations, crowns, onlays, and inlays, all in one appointment. CEREC restorations are often the best choice for a healthy, beautiful, and natural looking smile.

Benefits of CEREC dental restorations:

• The are very accurate
• Only a minimal amount of tooth preparation is needed, leaving more of the healthy tooth structure intact.
• They usually require only one appointment, even when we are working on more than one tooth.
• The restorations are made of tooth-colored materials

Emergency Dentistry

No one likes being in tooth pain. We understand that, and strive to be available for folks from Eden Prairie and the surrounding communities, to accommodate for emergencies that happen in life. We can get you in quickly and efficiently determine the problem and present solutions. If you have dental insurance we can also provide a close estimate of your actual out of pocket and often provide same-day service to get you out of pain.

Root Canal Therapy

When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or dies, root canal therapy is necessary to save the tooth. It is generally comfortable treatment that can save your tooth and keep your mouth healthy. You may realize that you have an infected tooth when: the tooth is sensitive to hot or cold, the tooth hurts with biting or pressure, there is throbbing severe tooth pain, the area is swollen, or you have a bad taste in your mouth. You may also be unaware of the problem because there are no symptoms at all. It is important to treat an infected tooth in order to prevent the infection from spreading through the root tips and causing a painful abscess in the jawbone.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is an excellent treatment for replacing a single or multiple missing teeth. Often a small titanium post is used to replace the root of a missing tooth and a custom fitted crown is secured to the implant. The implant will preserve the jawbone and keep it healthy while being strong, comfortable, and secure. With the restoration in place the implant looks and feels much like natural teeth. With careful home care and regular checkups/cleanings here in our office and implant can be an excellent long term solution for missing teeth.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can be a great choice to improve teeth that are stained, crooked, worn or have gaps. They can provide you with straighter, whiter, and more even looking teeth. The porcelain has a translucent quality that resembles your natural teeth. They are a great way to transform your smile in just a couple of visits. Taking care of your veneers will give you a beautiful smile for years to come.

Sedation Dentistry

If you put off needed dental treatment because you are afraid of the procedures, then IV sedation might be right for you. IV sedation can help if you get extremely nervous at the dentist's office, want to have several procedures in a single visit, don't want to vividly remember the dental procedures or have a difficult time getting numb. During the procedure, time will pass very quickly and you won't be distracted by the sights, sounds, or aromas of the dental office. IV sedation is a safe procedure that can help you get the dental care you need and put back on the road to good oral health.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

When a tooth needs a restoration sometimes the best choice is an all-porcelain crown. While sometimes the best solution for a missing tooth is a bridge to restore chewing function. Both methods provide aesthetic, functional, and durable results for your dental needs. We take impressions of your teeth and jaw to create lab restorations that will precisely fit your teeth and bite. Giving you back chewing function and aesthetics for years to come.

Periodontal Care (Scaling and Root Planing)

When you have active periodontal disease, routine cleanings are not enough because the generally focus on the areas of the tooth above the gumline. A scaling and root planing procedure, sometimes called "deep cleaning", removes plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins from the tooth surfaces below the gumline. To keep you comfortable, we usually numb the area. Using special instruments we meticulously remove the plaque and tartar around the tooth. Depending on your situation we may also apply medication or use laser therapy. Scaling and root planing removes the source of infection, helps your gums heal and tighten around your teeth, and gives you back your healthy smile.

Eden Prairie Cosmetic Dentistry

The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to turn a dull smile into a dazzling one. We had several options to restore teeth that are crooked, chipped, are stained or discolored, have gaps, or have uneven gums. We work with your personal goals for your smile and provide solutions that provide stellar oral health. It is important to maintain good function in addition to enhancing beauty. Improving your smile may be as simple as whitening or may be more involved such as veneers, crowns, or orthodontics. We will discuss what is best for your case and answer all your questions. Cosmetic dentistry can help enhance your confidence, improve your dental health, and often give you a more youthful smile.

Dental Extractions

A number of situations can lead us to recommend that we remove teeth. We can provide the convenience and comfort for child extractions and sometime adult extractions to avoid going to the specialist. To determine if an extraction is right for you or your child we will do a thorough examination, which usually includes x-rays. Removing a tooth can sometimes be the best choice for supporting your oral health.

Teeth Whitening
