First Visit
We know visiting a new dental office can feel uncertain. Here’s exactly what happens during your first appointment with us.
Dr. Conover will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We use digital X-rays to get a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. These images help us spot cavities, bone loss, and other issues early.
Then of our experienced dental hygienists will perform a professional cleaning. He or she will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t reach. You’ll leave with a fresh, clean feeling and a brighter smile.
After your cleaning, Dr. Conover will perform an exam. This is your time to share your concerns and goals. Are you happy with your smile? Do you have any pain or sensitivity? What would you like to change? Dr. Conover will listen carefully and answer all your questions.
If you need any dental work, we’ll explain your options clearly. You’ll understand what treatment involves, how long it takes, and what it costs. We never pressure you into decisions. We want you to feel confident and informed.
Bonding and Veneers
Want to improve your smile but not sure where to start? Both dental bonding and veneers can transform your appearance, and we’ll help you choose the right option. Bonding uses tooth-colored composite material to fix minor imperfections. It’s perfect for:
- Repairing small chips or cracks
- Closing minor gaps between teeth
- Covering small stains or discoloration
- Reshaping slightly irregular teeth
The best part is tooth bonding takes just one visit and costs less than veneers. Dr. Conover carefully matches the composite to your natural tooth color, so the repair blends in seamlessly.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front of your teeth. They offer more dramatic and longer-lasting results than bonding. Porcelain veneers can address:
- Severely stained or discolored teeth
- Worn or damaged teeth
- Noticeable gaps or spacing issues
- Crooked or misshapen teeth
- Teeth that are too small or poorly proportioned
Dr. Conover’s approach to veneers goes beyond just making your teeth look nice. He considers your facial structure, lip position, and overall appearance to create a natural, beautiful smile that enhances your entire face.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium post that’s placed into your jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once the implant integrates with your bone, we attach a custom crown on top. The result is a strong, stable tooth replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care.
We recommend implants for patients with missing teeth. Restorations that use implants look natural, function like real teeth, and don’t slip around your mouth. They’re fixed in place to last for years.
Dr. Rameen Vafa, our board-certified Prosthodontist, has advanced training in implant surgery and restoration. He can place and restore your implants right here in our office, which means fewer appointments and better coordination of your care.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or need a complete arch replacement, we offer implant solutions for every situation. We also provide bone grafting when needed to ensure successful implant placement.
