Exceptional Dentistry Services Tailored to Your Family
At our practice, we enjoy serving individuals from age of 3 and up. Using safe and effective tools, we can offer early detection of dental issues like cavities and gum disease, and more accurate diagnoses.
Our family dentistry services include:
Why Routine Dental Care is Essential for Your Family
Routine professional dental care can benefit more than just oral health and dental appeal. Regular prevention with exams, cleanings, and education can also help protect overall body health as well. This is because your oral and overall body health are closely linked. Oral diseases and infections have been known to contribute to complications with specific health issues, including diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease.
Many signs and symptoms of oral health concerns, like gum disease, tend to manifest themselves in the mouth. This means that dentists are often the first medical professionals to discover overall body health issues through routine dental exams. By familiarizing ourselves with the genetic, medical, and dental health history of your entire family, we can use our preventive services to protect the smiles and well-being of your loved ones.
Protecting Smiles with Family-Focused Education & Prevention
At Sheldon Ivers, DDS, we work closely with you to make your treatment a collaborative effort. We use advanced diagnostic technologies to help improve the education process. Digital and panoramic x-rays let us gain clear and precise images of everything from teeth and gums to tooth roots, as well as the head, neck, and facial structures. These detailed pictures and 3D imaging technology are essential for understanding the health and development of your family’s smiles.
Routine visits offer great opportunities for us to educate your family about our findings as well as watching for warning signs of dental health concerns. Dr. Ivers and Dr. Nieset enjoy teaching your loved ones about proper oral hygiene habits. We demonstrate the correct ways to brush and floss teeth, regardless of age. Our team also explains all treatment recommendations, keeping you and your family informed at every step.
Dental Care for Children
While children’s teeth aren’t permanent, they’re vital to your child’s long-term health! Education regarding proper oral hygiene and routine care is essential for kids. Your child’s baby teeth and gum health set the stage for their adult smiles, and teaching your kids how to care for them at a young age can provide many benefits.
At the practice of Sheldon Ivers, DDS, we go beyond educating children by providing an enjoyable experience that helps make dental care motivational and fun! Dr. Ivers can easily tailor treatments to fit your child’s needs. These often include:
- Gentle dental cleanings, nutrition recommendations, sealants, and fluoride treatments
- Gentle exams which can be tailored to toddlers, children, and pre-teens
- Early cavity detection & treatment
- Early diagnosis of dental conditions related to diet, genetics, and medical health history
- Discussing oral hygiene habits & proper home care
Our team works closely with parents and guardians to introduce young children to the dental office and environment in positive ways. This helps children feel confident, safe, and become familiar with our dental team right from the beginning. By doing so, we can limit feelings of anxiety before they have the chance to develop.
Dentistry Made for Teens
Once children enter their adolescent years, proper oral hygiene can often fall by the wayside. Our team understands that the modern teenager has a lot to juggle, so we work closely with your teen in a relatable approach. Educating adolescents about how good oral hygiene can improve their overall health, smile’s appeal, and self-confidence helps them stay engaged and motivated about their dental health.
We can support your teen through a wide variety of treatments, all of which can be tailored to their smile. These solutions can often include:
Adults & Seniors
It’s not uncommon for adults and seniors to put off regular dental visits. Routine prevention and education appointments are crucial for helping you extend the function, health, and beauty of your smile. Additionally, protecting your oral and overall health becomes even more essential as we age.
Our team provides education relevant to the unique needs that adult and senior smiles face. Our dentists offer tips and tricks to keep your smile free of decay, wear, and gum disease. We diagnose and treat complications before they can pose serious threats to your teeth and oral health.
Our dental restorations like bridges, crowns, and dental implants can rejuvenate your teeth after extensive damage. When you’re simply looking to improve your smile’s aesthetics, cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers can provide you with safe and stunning results.
Clear Aligners for Adults & Teens
Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners are discreet and reliable alternatives to traditional metal braces. Instead of metal wires, these systems use clear plastic orthodontic trays to straighten teeth comfortably. You can remove them for eating and routine oral hygiene. However, because these aligners must be worn for up to 22 hours a day to ensure successful treatment, we recommend clear aligners to responsible teens and adults only.
We provide clear aligners to help treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues. We also use Invisalign and ClearCorrect for retreatment cases. This is when an individual has experienced orthodontic relapse, and their teeth need to be straightened for a second time. To ensure you qualify, our dentists conduct a full exam using cone-beam CT scanning and 3D imaging technology.
Root Canal Therapy & Extractions
Teeth can become infected due to many reasons at any stage of life. Our team provides skilled and gentle root canal therapy for helping save natural teeth whenever possible. Disease that reaches the inner tissues and nerves of a tooth, also known as the pulp, requires direct treatment and removal. This helps to eliminate infection, discomfort, and pain while preserving the tooth’s natural structure.
Tooth extraction may be necessary for many reasons besides removing wisdom teeth. When a tooth is too severely damaged, decayed, or infected to be treated with root canal therapy, removal is often the best solution for protecting oral health. For complex cases, we can refer you to the right specialist.
