Complete Exam and Xrays
This is the ideal place to start when becoming established as a new patient of Superior Dental. A detailed exam and complete series of x-rays will be the basis for getting to know Dr. Durie, evaluating your current dental condition, and proceeding with a plan.
This appointment gives you and the dentist a chance to discuss options for treatment that benefit you long term. We consider your concerns in all areas of life such as finances, time, and goals for the future, to help you decide what is best for
you.
Fillings
Think you have a cavity? Let us help!
The sooner you act on having your cavity diagnosed and restored, the better off you will be. The truth is…decay happens. Even people with dental degrees get cavities and have dental issues.
At Superior Dental, we use quality imaging to help us diagnose what treatment is best for your issue. We use safe, durable materials and take extra care to ensure your comfort during the treatment process.
Root Canals
Do you have a toothache? That can be caused by deep decay, a fracture in the tooth, or previous trauma.
We know that “root canal” doesn’t sound very good to most people. But let us help you spin that around—-it could be the very answer you’re looking for to get rid of the pain and keep your tooth. And that’s a good thing!
In order to determine if a root canal is the right treatment for you, the dentist of Superior Dental of East Cobb will perform an exam. They will discuss the symptoms of your toothache, take x-rays, and explain root canal therapy in a way that is understandable.
Crowns and Bridges
Whether crowns and bridges serve as a restorative or cosmetic procedure, we always want you to understand the recommended treatment.
Depending on the condition of a tooth, a crown can be the saving grace where other materials fall short. Just like in the building process, sometimes wood does the job, and other times you need steel. The materials in dentistry are like this too, and our dentist can show you the reasons why and when a crown is the right choice over filling materials.
Bridges are much like crowns and prepared the same way, only they “bridge” an existing space or one that is created when a tooth is extracted. At Superior Dental, we want you to know all of your options when it comes to dental treatment. Bridges can be discussed along with implants or partials when you are missing one or more teeth, based on the overall condition of your dental health and areas of concern.
Tooth Replacement — Implants, Partials, & Dentures
When a tooth is unable to be restored and needs to be extracted, or if an extraction has already taken place, there are options for replacing missing teeth. These options also exist when a person is genetically missing one or more permanent teeth.
Implants are a preferred option for replacing a missing tooth when it is ideal to leave the other teeth in the area alone. Where bridges require including surrounding teeth as part of the tooth replacement treatment, an implant enables us to restore only the missing area without using other teeth to support it. An implant is basically a man-made root, placed in the bone in a way that a tooth can be built for function and esthetics. A thorough exam will determine if you are a candidate for implant therapy and restoration.
Partials and dentures are removable prosthetics for replacing teeth. Partials are often an alternative treatment to bridges and implants and serve well when there are multiple teeth missing throughout your mouth. Dentures, although always the last resort, can be made to look natural and function for chewing when all of your teeth need to be extracted based on decay or periodontal (gum and bone) condition. We say dentures are the last resort because you lose a certain ability of chewing function with this type of prosthetic, making it ideal to save and restore teeth whenever possible. But when a patient is unable to keep their remaining teeth, we have the ability to give that person a smile they can be proud of and a way to chew and function. Our doctors and prosthetic lab work together to create dentures that look natural, fit well, and function properly.
Extractions
There are so many different reasons for needing extractions. Wisdom teeth (or third molars), teeth that are diagnosed as “non-restorable”, severe periodontal condition, orthodontic purposes...these are just a few common reasons for extracting teeth.
Extractions always come with a little anxiety. We know, and we get it! Many of us have been through this ourselves for one or more of the above reasons.
Whatever the reason, we take exceptional care of our patients during the extraction process. Whether the procedure takes place in our office, or is done by our oral surgeon specialists, we will take every measure to make you as comfortable as possible.
Referrals
Sometimes when you go to your regular doctor, they find that you have a health condition that requires a specialist, like a heart doctor, or dermatologist, someone that is specifically educated to handle your issue. The same is true of your dental needs.
Most of your dental needs can be treated right here at Superior Dental. But in order to take exceptional care of you and your family, we have specialists that we refer to when it would better serve you or for services we do not perform.
We hand pick specialists that we trust and communicate with, that share our same philosophy in how to care for our patients. When the treatment that you need deserves or requires special attention, referring to a specialist is an extension of Dr. Durie doing what is best for you.
Teeth Cleanings and Gum Therapy
At an initial or routine exam, our dentist are not only looking at your teeth, but your gums and bone as well! This is called your periodontal condition. It is directly related to the health of and keeping your teeth, as well as your overall health.
There are reasons for needing more than “just a cleaning” and we can help you understand the recommended treatment if you require it. This treatment is not recommended for everyone. In many cases, a routine cleaning of scaling and polishing is done every six months with a check-up exam. But when there are existing conditions that require more involved treatment, we will recommend the right type of gum therapy to best serve you. We will explain and teach you why this is recommended so that you have complete confidence in the procedure, and can be sure of how it will improve your condition.
Teeth Whitening
Fun dental treatment...it does exist! Teeth whitening is fun and can give you that extra boost of confidence when you smile.
When you are a candidate for whitening, we offer two different options.
- Custom Bleach Trays — This option includes taking impressions of your teeth, creating models for making custom bleaching trays to fit your teeth, and a top of the line whitening formula that you can only get from a dental office.
- Whitening Strips — This option comes in a prepackaged box, and does not require impressions or custom trays. This is a great option for teens, as well as those looking to experiment with the whitening process.
All whitening options will work for the right candidate. Patients with existing fillings and restorations will need to discuss with the hygienist, assistant, or dentist how whitening will affect the appearance of your smile. We can help you decide what option is best for you, discuss possible tooth sensitivity during the process, and what will be needed to cosmetically correct any existing dental work when you have completed a whitening treatment.
