WE PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL SERVICES, INCLUDING:
General Dentistry
Most people see their general dentist more than they see any other health provider. General dentistry is inclined to prevent disease; this explains why general dentists are the most seen healthcare providers. Nearly 65% of the dental procedures conducted by general dentists are preventive. General dentistry is essential in maintaining a healthy smile and enhancing your overall health.
If dental problems are not addressed on time, they could lead to infections and other medical conditions that might put the entire body at risk. Washington dental provides comprehensive general dentistry services for patients of all ages. We are a one-stop shop for the whole family. It is advisable to visit a dentist twice a year or even more often, depending on your condition. Our dentists can prevent typical dental conditions like periodontal disease and tooth decay by monitoring your teeth and gums. We are experienced in all aspects of general dentistry.
Some of the standard general dentistry procedures include:
Many people have crooked or crowded teeth; orthodontic treatment helps straighten crooked teeth and align them in the right position. Orthodontics involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of both dental and facial irregularities. The collective term for these dental issues is malocclusion, meaning a bad bite. Most malocclusion problems are inherited, but some are acquired. Inherited dental problems include crowding of the teeth, overbite, or too much space between the teeth. Seeking early treatment for malocclusion problems makes a big difference. At Washington Dental, we offer orthodontic treatment for the following conditions:
Also known as dental crowding or overcrowding, crowded teeth occur when you don’t have enough space in your mouth for the permanent teeth to grow straight. People with this type of malocclusion have crooked teeth that overlap each other. Overcrowding could be mild, moderate, or severe. Dental crowding could occur if your teeth are larger than the jaw. Some people are born with a smaller jaw, leading to overcrowding later in life. If your permanent teeth do not erupt properly, you might have overcrowding. Losing your primary teeth too early could also be a cause of overcrowding.
Some of the typical ways of treating crowded teeth are:
If your top front teeth extend beyond the bottom front teeth, you have an overbite. A severe case of overbite could lead to tooth decay, jaw pain, or gum disease. Also known as buck teeth, an overbite occurs when your upper front teeth protrude beyond your lower front teeth. You may have noticeable health issues if you have a minor overbite. However, an uncorrected overbite could lead to gum disease, pain while chewing, breathing challenges, or temporomandibular disorder.
If you close your mouth and the lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth, you have an underbite. An underbite makes it hard to speak and chew properly. An underbite could also cause your teeth to wear down more quickly. At Washington Dental, we provide certain appliances to help correct an underbite:
A crossbite is a misalignment of teeth or malocclusion where the upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth. This type of malocclusion might affect a group of teeth or a single tooth. This misalignment is evident when you close your mouth because several upper teeth are left sitting inside your lower teeth. You could have an interior or exterior crossbite. Children who breathe through the mouth or those fond of sucking the thumb are prone to crossbites. At Washington Dental, we treat crossbites using orthodontic braces to adjust the alignment and straighten crooked teeth.
A diastema is a space or a gap between your teeth. It can occur anywhere in the mouth, but it is most noticeable between two upper front teeth. Diastema is common in both children and adults. When the permanent teeth grow, the gap may disappear. Some gaps are not noticeable, but others are larger and require dental attention.
You have an open bite if your upper and lower teeth do not meet when you close your mouth. You also have an open bite if there is a noticeable gap when you smile. A person with an open bite may speak with a lisp or have other speech impediment issues.
