3. Noam Kranz, D.M.D. Dental Services
Below are descriptions of some of our most common services.
Initial Oral Examination
Your first visit at our office is very important in establishing your oral health baseline. We will perform
a complete oral examination which includes an oral cancer screening, periodontal evaluation, an
analysis of your occlusion (bite) and a thorough examination of your teeth, their supporting
structures and of the oral anatomy.
Radiography
Using the most advanced dental technology possible is just as important as staying up-to-date on
the latest treatment techniques. Because our practice is dedicated to providing you with the safest
and most convenient treatment options available, we utilize advanced digital X-ray technology in our
office. Digital X-rays provide several advanced imaging options designed to save time, provide
clearer dental photos, and expose patients to 90% less radiation than with traditional X-ray
technology.
The Preventative Program
Both natural teeth and teeth with restorations survive best in an oral environment that is clean and
where proper oral hygiene is maintained. Our dental hygiene program is designed to help prevent
new cavities, preserve teeth that have been restored and manage periodontal disease. At the initial
visit with our hygienist, oral hygiene instructions are reviewed and are reinforced at subsequent
recall visits.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Traditional dental restoratives, or fillings, include gold, amalgam, porcelain, and composite. With the
advent of the newest technologies in dental science, today's state-of-the-art restorative materials
include ceramic and the latest composite materials. These materials are not only strong and durable,
but restore the look of natural teeth and are very aesthetically pleasing.
Crowns & Caps
The terms dental crowns and caps are synonymous. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's
function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a
tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often
used to restore the tooth. Crowns are also used to attach bridges, cover implants, or to prevent a
cracked tooth from becoming worse. Crowns also serve an aesthetic use, and are applied when a
discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance. Crowns are fabricated in
a laboratory and are made either of porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or many of
the new ceramic materials that have been developed.
Bridges & Dentures
A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate
stress on your bite. A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally
bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold,
alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for
support. There are two basic types of bridges. A fixed bridge which remains in your mouth at all
4. times and is supported by your natural teeth. Removable bridges (partials and full dentures) are
removed from the mouth several times a day for cleaning and rest on the gum where the missing
teeth are being replaced.
Dental Implants
If a tooth is extracted or missing for some other reason, it is now possible to replace it using dental
implants. An implant is like a new tooth made of metal and porcelain that looks just like your natural
tooth. It's composed of two main parts: One part is the titanium implant body that takes the place of
the missing root and the second part is the tooth-colored crown that is cemented on top of the
implant. In addition to tooth replacement, implants may be used to anchor dentures, especially lower
dentures that tend to shift when you talk or chew. For patients with removable partial dentures,
implants can replace missing teeth so that you have a more natural-looking smile.
Veneers
Gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth can now be treated with wonderful results and very
conservatively using porcelain veneers. Veneers are natural in appearance, and are a perfect
alternative for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials (such as porcelain)
designed to cover the front side of your teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. This simple
treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges. Symptoms
of the infection are generally acute dental pain or sensitivity to hot, cold or percussion. If you
experience any of these symptoms, we will most likely recommend root canal therapy to eliminate
the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and
sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits
depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of
cases.
Tooth Whitening
Using our take home bleaching system, you can achieve a brighter and whiter smile in a matter of
days.
Tooth Extractions
When tooth removal is necessary, we can perform simple extractions using local anesthesia. If you
choose, we can also replace the missing teeth with dental implants.
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal treatment methods depend upon the type and severity of the disease. We will evaluate
your progression of periodontal disease and recommend the appropriate treatment. Periodontal
disease progresses as the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and gums gets filled with
bacteria, plaque, and tartar causing irritation to the surrounding tissues. When these irritants remain
in the pocket, they cause infection and damage to the gums and eventually, the bone that supports
the teeth. If the disease is caught in the early stages (known as Gingivitis) and no damage has been
done, one to two regular cleanings may be recommended. You will also be given instructions on
improving your daily oral hygiene habits and having regular dental cleanings. However, if the
5. disease has progressed to a more advanced stage, where the infection has caused bone loss and
diseased pockets have formed, your treatment options may include scaling and root planing, bone
surgery or gum therapy.
Invisalign
Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted - without braces. We will
be happy to discuss whether Invisalign would be an appropriate treatment for you. Invisalign uses a
series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. These
retainers are worn 23 hours a day and are changed every two weeks. Invisalign is made with 3-D
computer imaging technology and has been proven effective in treating many orthodontic cases that
previously required braces.
Pediatric Dental Care
We take pride in creating and maintaining beautiful and healthy smiles for our younger patients in an
environment that is lighthearted and fun. We focus on establishing oral health habits that last a
lifetime, with education and prevention as our primary tools.
