The Right Stuff
Lehigh Valley - Bethlehem Pennsylvania
Preventive Dental Services
Most people take their teeth for granted, but we are here to tell you
that it is not a successful strategy. If you would like to keep your
teeth for life, you have to keep them healthy, which is exactly what our
careful oral hygiene care, individualized instruction, and preventive
services in Bethlehem - Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania are designed to help
you
do:
Restorative Services
Life can be tough on teeth. Oral health problems, like most other
health problems, are best dealt with while they are small. It may seem
inconsequential that your silver fillings are old and worn, but a little
weakness or cracking may quietly result in bacterial invasion with decay
or breakage of that tooth. Yet, by taking the offensive and using
composite resins (tooth-colored fillings) or porcelain crowns (depending
on the extent of the breakdown), we eliminate such concerns entirely.
That is why we are so vigilant to inspect every nook and cranny of your
mouth, alert you to potential dangers, and recommend early, conservative
restoration as needed. In addition to protecting and restoring your
teeth better, the "tooth-colored" restorations obviously keep or bring
back the look of your teeth to a natural, nonmetallic appearance.
Our Bethlehem - Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania restorative dentistry
services include:
Periodontal (Gum and Supporting Bone) Services
Healthy gums and the supporting bone that they cover, are structurally
and physiologically the foundation of a healthy mouth. Yet over 80% of
people walk around unaware that they have a significant level of chronic
gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis). Our solution is comprehensive
in-office therapy, which includes meticulous exams, charting, and
monitoring for even the tiniest hint of disease. We then help everyone
with that unbeatable combination, patient motivation and patient
education.
After careful diagnosis, scaling and root planing is an important next
step, so that the deposits that harbor bacteria are removed from the
surface of your teeth and roots. This is done thoroughly but painlessly,
with the use of topical and other anesthetics to numb the teeth and
gums.
For
those who have deeper pockets, we are the first office in the Lehigh
Valley to offer
Laser Periodontal Therapy through the use of the Periolase Laser.
This amazing laser takes away the scalpel and stitches that are a part
of traditional periodontal surgery, as well as the post operative
recovery, pain, and time involved. For more information, please

Bethlehem - Lehigh Valley, PA Cosmetic Dental Services
Most people give very little thought to the impact their teeth and
smile have on others around them, on their close relationships, and on
their own sense of confidence and well-being! With our training, coupled
with today's technology and advanced materials, there is almost no limit
to what can be done to improve darkened, chipped, cracked, crooked, or
otherwise "less than happy" smiles. Often, we can give you an idea of
how things will look after cosmetic dentistry by use of our intraoral
cameras and cosmetic imaging on the computer.
At Excel Dental Care we offer clear, invisible, removable braces. We
have been doing this procedure for almost 5 years now with
Invisalign, but we are excited to say that we are now using a new
kind of invisible tray called Smart
Moves. We switched because we feel it offers more control of tooth
movement, and more patient comfort. Furthermore the cost for Smart Moves
is considerably less than Inivisalign and we are excited to pass the
savings on to you! Smart Moves works great whether your teeth are
crowded, too far apart, or even if they have shifted since wearing
braces. You can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without
holding back. Since you are straightening your teeth without braces, but
rather with clear, invisible, removable trays, there is nothing to hide
and you can finally move your teeth into that perfect smile you have
always wanted!
Just ask us about what our smile services and cosmetic dentistry could
accomplish in your mouth and in your life!
