Services Offered at Comfort Dental – North Lakewood

1. Professional Cleanings: Regular professional cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing gum disease. Our dental hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing can’t reach. We recommend scheduling cleanings every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy.


2. Dental Exams: Comprehensive dental exams allow our dentist in Lakewood to detect potential problems early, before they become serious issues. During your exam, we’ll carefully evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, often including digital X-rays for a complete assessment. These routine visits are your first line of defense against cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns.


3. Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent decay, especially in children and patients at higher risk for cavities. This quick, painless treatment involves applying a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish to your teeth. The benefits last for months, providing an extra layer of protection between dental visits.


4. Fillings: When cavities develop, tooth-colored fillings restore the damaged tooth while maintaining a natural appearance. Our composite resin fillings bond directly to your tooth structure, providing durable and aesthetically pleasing results. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure, removing decay and preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.


5. Teeth Whitening and Bleaching: Professional teeth whitening can dramatically brighten your smile, removing stains from coffee, wine, tobacco, and aging. Our whitening treatments use safe, effective solutions that produce results far superior to over-the-counter products. Whether you choose in-office whitening for immediate results or take-home trays for gradual brightening, you’ll love your refreshed smile.


6. Wisdom Teeth Removal: Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can cause pain, crowding, and infection if not properly addressed. Our skilled dentists perform wisdom teeth extractions with precision and care, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing and minimize discomfort.


7. Tooth Extractions: Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or decayed to save, making extraction the best option for your oral health. We perform extractions as gently as possible, using local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you comfortable. After removing the tooth, we’ll discuss replacement options to restore your smile’s function and appearance.


8. Dental Implants: Dental implants offer the most natural-looking and longest-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, giving you back your confident smile.


9. Crowns and Bridges: Dental crowns protect and restore damaged teeth, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth. Both treatments are custom-made to match your natural teeth in color and shape. These durable restorations can last many years with proper care, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.


10. Clear Aligners: Clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening your teeth. These removable, transparent trays gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment without the metal wires and brackets. You can eat, brush, and floss normally while achieving the straight smile you’ve always wanted.


11. Dentures: Whether you need partial or full dentures, we create custom prosthetics that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. Modern dentures look remarkably natural and fit securely in your mouth. We’ll work closely with you to ensure your dentures meet your functional needs and aesthetic goals.


12. Sedation Dentistry: For patients who experience dental anxiety or need extensive treatment, sedation dentistry makes dental care comfortable and stress-free. We offer various sedation options, from nitrous oxide to oral conscious sedation, tailored to your needs and the complexity of your procedure. With sedation, you can relax completely while we take care of your smile.
