Our General Dentistry Services

  • Dental Sealants

    Dental sealants offer a simple but powerful way to protect your teeth from decay. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the grooves of your back teeth, creating a barrier against food particles and bacteria that can lead to cavities. Sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults at risk of decay can also benefit from this preventative treatment.

  • Emergency Treatment

    When dental emergencies strike, Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness is here to provide prompt and compassionate care. Whether you’re experiencing severe pain, a cracked or knocked-out tooth, or an urgent oral health concern, our team prioritizes your well-being. We act quickly to relieve discomfort and restore your smile, ensuring you receive the immediate attention you need.

  • Extractions

    Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best option for maintaining oral health. Whether it’s due to extensive decay, infection, or overcrowding, our skilled dentists perform extractions with precision and care. We focus on minimizing discomfort and provide guidance on restorative options to help you maintain a healthy and functional smile.

  • Fluoride Treatment

    Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens enamel and protects against cavities. Our fluoride treatments are a key component of preventive dentistry, offering added protection for children and adults alike. With regular fluoride applications, you can enhance the resilience of your teeth and enjoy a healthier, cavity-free smile.

  • Night Guards

    Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can cause significant damage to your teeth and jaw over time. Our custom-made night guards are designed to protect your teeth while you sleep, alleviating issues like enamel wear, jaw pain, and morning headaches. These comfortable, durable appliances are tailored to fit your mouth perfectly.

  • Oral Cancer Screening with VELscope®

    Oral cancer is a serious condition, but early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes. That’s why we incorporate advanced VELscope technology into our oral cancer screenings. This non-invasive device uses a special blue light to highlight abnormalities in the soft tissues of your mouth that may not be visible during a standard exam. With VELscope, we can detect potential issues early and ensure timely follow-up care, providing you with peace of mind and proactive protection.

  • Oral Exams

    Regular oral exams are the foundation of a healthy smile. During these visits, we thoroughly assess the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw, using advanced diagnostic tools to identify potential issues before they become serious. Our comprehensive exams allow us to tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs, ensuring your oral health stays on track.

  • Preventative Program

    Prevention is at the heart of everything we do. Our preventative program includes routine checkups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and personalized oral hygiene advice. By addressing dental issues early and focusing on education, we help you avoid costly and invasive procedures, keeping your smile healthy and beautiful for years to come.

  • Sedation Dentistry

    We understand that dental visits can be stressful for some patients, which is why we offer sedation dentistry to help you relax. Whether you’re undergoing a complex procedure or feeling nervous about a routine visit, our sedation options are designed to ensure your comfort and ease. Let us help you overcome dental anxiety so you can receive the care you deserve.

  • Sleep Apnea Treatment

    Sleep apnea can affect more than just your rest—it can have serious health implications. We provide custom oral appliances to manage sleep apnea, keeping your airway open while you sleep and reducing disruptions. With improved sleep quality, you’ll enjoy better overall health and wake up feeling refreshed.

  • Sports Mouthguards

    If you or your child participates in sports, protecting your teeth from injury is essential. Our custom sports mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably and securely, offering superior protection compared to store-bought options. Whether you’re playing contact sports or recreational activities, a well-fitted mouthguard can prevent dental trauma and keep your smile intact.

  • TMJ Disorders

    Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause pain, difficulty chewing, and discomfort in your jaw. Our team offers effective treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve jaw function. From custom night guards to therapeutic options, we’ll help you find relief and restore balance to your jaw.

How often do I need to get a dental checkup?

+

Routine dental checkups and professional cleanings help ensure your smile remains in tip-top condition and that any developing problems receive the prompt care they require. While it's a good idea to schedule a checkup and cleaning twice a year, longer or shorter intervals between routine visits depend on your specific needs.

Give us a call today; we're happy to address all your questions and concerns about getting your smile back in tip-top condition.

Should pregnant women get a dental checkup?

+

For pregnant women practicing good oral care and seeing the dentist to maintain a healthy smile is considered an important component of prenatal care. Researchers have found that pregnancy not only increases the risk of oral health problems, but these problems may also lead to pregnancy complications. At the office of Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness, we provide the skilled and compassionate care required to help expectant mothers keep their teeth and gums in tip-top condition. While certain procedures are not recommended during pregnancy, we provide the necessary care and take all the necessary precautions required.

How can I improve the appearance of my smile?

Thanks to advances in modern dentistry, teeth that have been affected by a range of imperfections or that have sustained damage from trauma or dental decay can be restored to produce a naturally beautiful looking and functional smile.

Contact our office to learn more about the many ways we can help you create the smile you've always wanted.

How should I prepare for my dental appointment?

+

If you're visiting Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness for the first time, it is helpful that you contact your former dental office and have your records sent over to us. Make note of any problems you may have so that you can discuss them with your dentist.

To provide efficient service, we ask you to please bring your insurance card, an ID, plus any referral slips or diagnostic records given to you by another office. If you are taking medications, please note or make a list of what they are as you will need to provide that information.

Does Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness treat patients of all ages?

+

Yes! We assure you that both you and your family will be in good hands at the office of Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness.

What if I'm anxious about seeing the dentist?

+

We do our best to make sure every patient who steps into our office for care is put at ease.

You can rest assured that your smile is in the best of hands and that we are doing all we can to ensure your comfort throughout every procedure. While we always take the time to explain every step in care, feel free to ask us any questions about local anesthesia and methods of dental sedation.

How much does dental treatment cost?

+

At the office of Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness, we strive to provide the highest quality of care to address all your dental needs. Once we've had the opportunity to examine your smile, we can give you a clear picture of any dental issues that are present, along with a quote for what the cost of treatment will be. The cost of care all depends upon the extent and complexity of issues affecting the health or appearance of your smile and the types of procedures that are required. Our goal is to make dental care more affordable so that you can begin treatment without any additional stress or delay.

Keep in mind that with routine dental checkups and periodic care, we can help prevent dental disease while treating emerging problems early in their onset to avoid larger issues and more expensive care down the road.

What if I have dental insurance?

+

Routine dental checkups and preventive care procedures may be covered under your dental insurance plan requiring little to no out-out-of-pocket expense. We invite you to check our financial information page or give us a call to find out if our office participates with your plan, and if you have any other questions about dental insurance, dental savings plans, forms of payment, or financing options. We welcome your inquiries and do our best to help you begin care without additional stress or delay.

What is the best method of replacing missing teeth?

+

If you've lost a tooth due to injury, decay, gum disease, or any other reason, we recommend dental implants to replace missing teeth. Dental implants come the closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth.

Is flossing as important as brushing?

+

Absolutely! Both flossing and brushing regularly are equally important to maintain your oral health. While brushing cleans the surface of your teeth, flossing cleans in between them. Flossing is important to prevent plaque buildup, which can cause gums to recede and lead to periodontal disease.

Do you still need to see a dentist if you have dentures?

+

Even if you have dentures, it is still necessary to see a dentist! Dental checkups help ensure that your dentures are comfortable, fitting properly, and that there are no other problems. Beyond assessing your dentures, our dentist will also perform a thorough examination of the jawbone, and surrounding soft tissues both inside the mouth, the face, and neck, to confirm that you remain in good oral health.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

+

Emergency dental care is a service we hope you'll never need- but if you do, the office of Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness is here for you!

Whether you're suffering from a chipped tooth, toothache, or any problem affecting your oral health, you can be sure to get the prompt attention and compassionate care you require at our office. Patient care and comfort are our top priorities, and we offer a comprehensive range of the most advanced services to address a broad spectrum of dental needs.

While the pain of a toothache is one of the more common reasons that patients come to our office for emergency dental care, we also promptly treat emergencies that are not necessarily painful like crowns that have been dislodged and broken dentures that leave embarrassing gaps in one's smile.

You can rest assured that your oral health is in the best of hands at our office.

What is a dental emergency?

Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness

Toothaches

Pain is your body's way of signaling that something is not quite right and though there are many reasons for oral pain, one of the most common complaints and reasons for seeking urgent dental care is a toothache. Whether you simply need a dental filling, a crown, or require a root canal procedure to save your tooth, we'll alleviate your discomfort and restore the look and function of the involved tooth.

Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness

Dental Trauma

Dental trauma can result in a defect as minor as a small chip in tooth enamel to a more extensive and painful crack or fracture. With sufficient force, a tooth can even be displaced or completely knocked out of its socket. With prompt emergency care, many injured teeth can be restored and saved.

Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness

Wisdom Teeth

The last teeth in your mouth to develop, wisdom teeth often do not have enough room to fully erupt or may be positioned in the wrong direction. These issues can affect your dental health as well as overall well-being. Our office provides skilled care to address the complications caused by problematic wisdom teeth.

Pearl32 Dentistry and Wellness

Broken or Lost Dental Appliances

A broken or lost dental prosthesis or restoration can cause embarrassing gaps in your smile as well as compromise your ability to eat and speak with ease.

What is sedation dentistry?

+

Sedation dentistry offers patients with general anxiety or fears about a dental procedure the opportunity to have a more comfortable and stress-free experience. By utilizing safe and controlled sedation techniques, the patient is eased into a state of complete relaxation before the procedure. This approach eliminates discomfort, pain, and preoperative anxiety, and typically makes patients feel more at ease post-operatively, as they have little or no memory of the actual moment-to-moment procedure.

What is the difference between local anesthesia and dental sedation?

+

Local anesthesia involves an injection directly into or close to the area where a procedure is being performed. While it eliminates any sensation of pain in the targeted area, it does not affect your state of mind or level of anxiety. When a patient receives sedation, additional medications to ease anxiety and promote relaxation are employed in advance of local anesthesia. In this way, both the stress and discomfort associated with a procedure are eliminated. Sedation can be administered in a variety of forms based upon patient needs and the recommendations of the dentist or dental anesthesiologist.

What are the different types of dental sedation?

+

Choosing the most appropriate method of sedation for a procedure depends on a variety of factors such as a patient's medical history and their level of anxiety. Dental sedation can come in the form of nitrous oxide sedation, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Certain patients receiving comprehensive treatment or undergoing a complex surgical procedure may require general anesthesia in a hospital setting.

Nitrous oxide, or "laughing gas," is a mild sedative, which is inhaled through a small mask over the nose. A standard in dental sedation for decades, the effects of nitrous oxide are almost immediate and wear off quickly once your procedure is completed.

Oral sedation involves the prescription of an oral medication prior to your appointment. Taken at the recommended time before your visit, oral sedation allows you to feel fully relaxed by the time you're ready for your procedure. With oral sedation, it's necessary to plan on having an escort to and from your dentist's office.

IV Sedation is administered intravenously, or directly into a vein. It is typically indicated when a deeper state of sedation is required. Your dentist will provide you with specific instructions before your visit, and require that you have an escort for the trip home from your appointment.
