Our team at Chittenden Dental offers comprehensive dental care in Burlington. Dr. Mike Morris uses his extensive training and experience to maintain your overall dental health. This goes beyond focusing on one tooth and fixing one problem.
We listen carefully to all your dental concerns, and together we’ll develop a treatment plan that fits your needs. We’ll explain all your treatment options so you can choose the right option for your dental care.
What is Comprehensive Dental Care?
When you think about dental care, you might think about one tooth that has a cavity, and what options you have to fix this one tooth. Comprehensive dental care encourages you to think about the rest of your mouth and even your jaw. Our team offers comprehensive care that looks after your teeth, mouth, and gums. We also provide care for jaw and muscle tension or pain.
Preventative Dental Care
Part of comprehensive dental care is preventative care. The best way to keep your smile bright is with preventative dental care. We recommend having a checkup and cleaning every 6 months. Regular cleanings remove any built-up plaque and improves your overall gum health. Getting your teeth cleaned twice a year can prevent tooth decay, reduce your risk of gum disease, and prevent future dental issues.
Professional cleanings are an essential part of your dental health. These gentle cleanings can prevent more serious problems in the future. Start your comprehensive dental care with a checkup and cleaning!
Restorative Dental Care
If we notice any concerns during your checkup, we provide comprehensive restorative dental care. This keeps your teeth and mouth healthy and preserves your natural smile. Restorative dental care includes:
- Fillings
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Dental implants
- Root canals and tooth extractions to relieve pain
- Dental implants that can restore function and give you confidence in your smile
- Restoring cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Removing wisdom teeth
- Dentures and partial dentures
- Orthodontics
Treating just one tooth is never a good solution. Each tooth affects its neighbors, so when you get restorative dental care, you need to consider how this restoration will affect your other teeth. Our comprehensive approach will explore how treating a tooth impacts your other teeth. We’ll make a plan that protects your other teeth, prevents a bad bite, and reduces future dental concerns.
Jaw and Muscle Health
Dr. Mike Morris will take a look at the soft tissues in your mouth and oral cavity. Our team will also check your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). These are the muscles that help you chew and speak. However, these muscles can also cause jaw pain, neck pain, or tooth wear and tear. You may not notice these concerns until your next dental appointment. We’ll let you know about any issues that affect your jaw health, and suggest corrective dental care that will reduce tooth stress and prevent pain.
