Our General Dentistry Services
In addition to preventative care appointments, we offer a range of comprehensive general dentistry services for patients who need to restore the appearance and function of their teeth. General dentistry covers the diagnosis and treatment of any problems you may have with your teeth or gums. From minor fillings to placing dental implants, Eddleman Dental offers high-quality oral health care for the whole family. Our general dentistry services include:
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are dental restorations that are made of a high-quality composite material that blends with the surrounding natural tooth. Dr. Eddleman uses these fillings for patients who have tooth decay or need any older dental fillings to be replaced. Composite fillings are often the best choice for patients as they are durable, long-lasting and have a natural aesthetic appearance, maintaining a seamless integration with your smile.
Guided Biofilm Therapy with Airflow Max
Guided Biofilm Therapy with Airflow Max is a revolutionary way to clean plaque and stains from teeth, plus make your gums the healthiest they can be! The guided biofilm therapy uses a mixture of air and fine, antibacterial powder to thoroughly clean and disinfect the teeth and gums. Eddleman Dental was the first office in Louisiana to offer and be certified to provide this state-of-the-art service!
Soft Tissue Laser Therapy
Soft Tissue Laser Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to safely and effectively reshape gum tissue. Thanks to the advanced laser technology, this cutting-edge treatment ensures precision and a remarkable reduction in bleeding and swelling. Unlike traditional gum surgery techniques, patients undergoing Soft Tissue Laser Therapy will experience swift healing without the discomfort typically associated with postoperative pain.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are made of a clear, resin material that is used to coat the chewing surface of the back molars. Primarily used in young children through the pre-teen years, dental sealants are an excellent preventative measure that is easy to apply and can significantly help protect the tooth and reduce the frequency of tooth decay.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a treatment available for patients who have an abscess or infection in the inner part of the tooth known as the pulp. A root canal may also be necessary if you have sustained an injury to a tooth. The goal of root canal therapy is to restore the function of the tooth so that you can keep your natural tooth.
What Happens At a Routine Visit?
Maintaining routine visits with Dr. Eddleman is the best way to ensure that your teeth stay in tip-top condition. When you come to a routine checkup appointment at Eddleman Dental, you will receive the following:
General Dentistry: Preventative Care
Preventative dental care entails the normal maintenance you perform on your teeth and gums daily, in addition to regular checkups at the dental office. Did you know that your daily oral hygiene routine has a big impact on your overall oral health? Brushing twice daily and flossing every day helps to keep the bacteria that causes plaque and decay from building up on the enamel and gum tissues in your mouth. Your daily oral hygiene routine affects the amount of plaque and tartar build-up on your teeth. At Eddleman Dental, we encourage our patients to maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home so preventative care checkups will be a breeze.
Why Should I See the Dentist Every Six Months?
Visits to the dentist every six months are critical for maintaining good oral health. Routine examinations help to identify any dental issues that you may have early when a problem is small and the treatment is minimal. Delaying six-month dental checkups can cause problems to worsen and create more expense by requiring invasive treatments that might take several appointments to complete. If you are interested in finding a dental home for your family and would like to schedule your six-month checkup today, call (318) 322-2013.
Hygiene at Home
If you have been diagnosed with gingivitis, which is considered the first stage of gum disease, you can successfully eliminate this condition by adhering to a regimented oral hygiene routine at home. Dr. Eddleman will recommend some lifestyle modifications such as increasing hydration, avoiding smoking and eating healthy foods. He may also recommend more frequent cleanings for a short time, or deep cleanings to combat the progression of the disease. Lastly, brushing twice daily and flossing every day will go a long way in slowing the progression of gum disease. It will also strengthen the gum tissue around each tooth and prevent bad bacteria from building up between the teeth. If you would like to learn more about preventative care, or are looking for a dental home for the whole family, call Eddleman Dental at (318) 322-2013.
