A Healthy Smile for a Healthier You

A professional dental cleaning does more than just keep your smile bright; it’s a proactive way to support your overall well-being and reveals even the smallest of details, making those unexpected dental surprises a thing of the past. This also gives you the chance to feel informed about your gum health, giving you a healthy and strong foundation for your smile. Dr. Petrich and Dr. Moody aren’t just caring for your teeth, they’re caring for you. By helping you maintain a healthy mouth, Dr. Petrich and Dr. Moody aren’t just caring for your smile; they’re helping you safeguard your total health.

Your Comfort-Focused Visit

We believe your dental visit should be a positive, relaxing, and empowering experience. Here’s what you can expect when you’re in our care:

• A Thorough, Gentle Exam: It all starts with a conversation. We’d love to hear about what challenges you’re facing, any concerns you might have, and what your goals are moving forward. We’ll then perform a comprehensive but gentle exam of your teeth, gums, and mouth to understand where you are in your smile journey and share all our findings with you. We use modern tools like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, which allow us to see in incredible detail and, more importantly, let us show you exactly what we see on a screen right in front of you. You’re a part of your diagnosis and decision-making right from the start.
• A Refreshing, Comfortable Cleaning: Our talented hygienists are known for their gentle touch. They will carefully and thoroughly clean your teeth, removing stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that, despite your efforts at home, isn’t always enough to keep your smile perfectly clean and healthy. The result? A smooth, polished smile that feels as fresh as it looks.
• A Personalized Conversation: With the exam and the cleaning out of the way, we move on to the most important part. You’ll have one-on-one time with Dr. Petrich or Dr. Moody where we can review our findings with you, discussing any concerns, answering all your questions, and giving you clear options for how to make your smile its best one yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is a professional teeth cleaning painful?

Modern Care That Fits Seamlessly

When you have a damaged tooth, the last thing you need is a lengthy treatment process that requires multiple appointments and weeks of waiting. We know that for busy families and professionals, that’s a significant interruption. That’s why we’ve invested in a more modern, respectful approach.

Our same-day crown technology streamlines the entire process into one comfortable appointment, allowing you to walk out with a permanent, beautiful restoration without the wait.

Trade Discomfort for a Strong, Beautiful Smile

You’ve likely been through a lot of discomfort or worry, and it’s often hard to know what the right solution is. You can feel at ease knowing our high-quality dental crowns are designed to get you back to looking and feeling your best by solving a variety of common issues, including:

• Protecting a tooth that is weak or fragile after root canal therapy.
• Restoring a tooth that is cracked, severely worn down, or has extensive decay.
• Replacing a large, old, or failing metal filling with a stronger, more aesthetic solution.
• Perfecting the shape and appearance of a cosmetically imperfect tooth.

Our Simple, One-Visit Crown Experience

We’ve designed our same-day crown process around your comfort and convenience. Here’s a look at your single appointment with us:

1. A Comfortable Start & Digital Scan: After we ensure you’re completely comfortable, we’ll prepare your tooth and use a small camera to take a quick, highly-detailed 3D scan. No goopy, uncomfortable impression trays are needed.
2. Designing Your New Smile Together: Right by your side, we use the 3D model to digitally design your new crown. We’ll ensure it perfectly matches the shape and shade of your natural teeth, giving you a chance to be part of the process.
3. Crafting Your Crown While You Relax: Our in-house milling unit then precisely crafts your beautiful ceramic crown, often in the time it takes to catch up on a few emails or enjoy a quiet moment.
4. Leaving with Your Permanent Smile: Your dentist will securely bond your final restoration, polish it to a natural shine, and you will walk out of our office that very same day with your complete, healthy, and permanent new smile.
