General Dentistry

Dental cleaning is an important step for your general dentistry needs. Our dentist and hygienist conduct a comprehensive exam to detect and address any potential oral health issues early on, before they develop into more serious problems like gum disease or tooth loss.

The exam process includes a medical history review, where we gather information about your medical history, including previous dental procedures, allergies and medications. To assess decay or other less visible problems, we may take a full mouth and pano x-ray, and an Itero scan to view your teeth in a 3D image.

Our dental exam also includes an oral cancer screening, where our dentist checks for any signs of lumps or bumps in the mouth or neck. We carefully examine your gums, using a probe to measure the spaces between your teeth and gums to detect any signs of gum disease. Finally, we visually inspect your teeth to check for signs of decay, damage, or other issues.
By prioritizing the dental exam and staying vigilant about oral health, we can help prevent complicated oral health problems from developing and ensure that our patients maintain healthy and beautiful smiles for years to come.

Porcelain crowns offer multiple benefits, including:

• Strengthening weakened teeth: They provide protection and a stable surface to protect the tooth from further damage or decay.
• Enhancing the appearance of damaged teeth: Porcelain crowns are custom-designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless solution that blends in with the rest of your smile.
• Long-lasting solution: With proper care, porcelain crowns can last for many years, making them a durable and cost-effective solution.

When damage occurs to the pulp of a tooth due to severe decay or injury, a root canal procedure may be necessary. Although many people associate root canals with discomfort, it is often the best alternative to tooth extraction and can effectively eliminate tooth pain.

At Smile Vegas Dental, we prioritize gentle dentistry and strive to make each appointment as comfortable as possible. Our experienced dentists will carefully evaluate the tooth to determine the cause of the problem, which could be cavities, a split tooth, or root damage that endangers the nerve. If the nerve is compromised, a root canal may be required.

The effectiveness and extent of the root canal procedure depend on the tooth’s severity of damage. During treatment, the affected area is carefully assessed, and damaged or dead pulp is eliminated before the area is sealed. Following the root canal treatment, a crown over the tooth is often recommended to protect the tooth from breakage or further damage.

If you suspect that you require a root canal treatment, don’t hesitate to contact our expert dental team at Smile Vegas Dental. Our friendly dentists will conduct a thorough examination and propose a customized treatment plan to restore your oral health and comfort

Fluoride treatments are designed to protect teeth and make them stronger. This treatment involves applying fluoride, a mineral that naturally occurs in the environment and helps rebuild enamel, to the teeth. Benefits of fluoride treatments include preventing tooth decay, treating early signs of decay, guarding teeth during orthodontic treatment, and managing tooth sensitivity.

Dental nightguards are specialized mouthguards worn during sleep for safeguarding the teeth and jaw from hard grinding or clenching.
