Missing Teeth
If you are missing teeth from injury, disease, age, tooth extraction, or any other factors, replacing these teeth can greatly improve your appearance and your health. Dr. Conover offers several options for replacing missing teeth.
Bleeding Gums
Many Americans believe sore or bleeding gums are normal. While it can be caused by aggressive brushing or flossing, your gums should not bleed. In fact, sore or bleeding gums may be a sign of gingivitis or periodontal (gum) disease. Dr. Conover is able to diagnose periodontal disease and provide treatment.
Worn/Broken Teeth
Sometimes teeth are worn or broken from injury or an accident. If several of your teeth are worn or broken, however, an underlying condition may be to blame. Dr. Doray can diagnose the cause of worn or broken teeth and offer treatment options.
Teeth Grinding
Millions of Americans grind their teeth. While occasional teeth grinding is not harmful, the constant grinding of the teeth can damage the teeth and cause other oral complications. Also known as Bruxism, teeth grinding usually happens during sleep.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth, besides being aesthetically unattractive, also pose oral health problems. Many adults don’t want to wear braces, and Dr. Conover offers other options for fixing crooked teeth.
Discolored Teeth
Everyone experiences discolored or yellow teeth at some point in their lifetime. While there are many over-the-counter treatment options for stained teeth, the best treatment is available through a dentist. Dr. Conover offers easy and inexpensive treatment options that can usually be done in a single visit.
