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:

• Regular Check Ups
• Oral Cancer Screenings

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:

• Tooth-Colored Fillings and Cosmetic Bonding
• All-Porcelain Crowns
• Porcelain Veneers
• CEREC 3D CAD/CAM technology which enables us to make crowns in just one visit
• Bridges
• Partial Removable Dentures
• Full Dentures- expertly fitted and made to look like natural teeth
• Dental Implants

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.

Our gum care services include the following:

• Charting and Diagnostic Services
• Patient Education
• Appropriate Home Care Supplies
• Scaling and Root Planning
• Laser Periodontal Therapy
  

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!

• Tooth-Colored Fillings and Cosmetic Bonding
• Extreme Whitening (Deep Bleaching™)
