Bent Creek Dental Services in Auburn, Al

Bent Creek Dental is an all-inclusive dental office located in Auburn, Alabama offering family and cosmetic dentistry. We offer a wide range of dental services including:

 

 

Cleaning and Prevention

Regular dental cleanings are essential for preserving excellent oral health, preventing painful cavities and gum disease, and ensuring that any possible damaging conditions are addressed at the earliest opportunity.

 

Our hygienists are not only knowledgeable professionals, but also display genuine care for our patients. Our esteemed reputation is built upon forming long-term connections with our patients, but we also make sure to educate them on the effect of oral health on overall well-being.

 

We highly advise that all our patients come in for check-ups every six months, or even more frequently if necessary.

​

Dental Hygiene

These dental hygienists are professionals that are highly qualified, with all the necessary licensing requirements, and they collaborate closely with dentists. Your dental hygienist will be on the lookout for any signs of infection and meticulously clean away hardened plaque from your teeth. Without proper care, this can cause gum recession and other damaging oral health issues.

 

Crowns

If your tooth has suffered extensive decay or trauma, a crown is likely the best solution.

Crowns are a perfect way to achieve a stunning, natural-looking smile - they act as caps that seamlessly cover your teeth.

​

Bridges

A bridge (otherwise known as a partial denture) can be an excellent tooth replacement for gaps between multiple missing teeth. Supporting teeth along the gumline are connected together with dental bridges secured by crowns.

​

Teeth Whitening

Whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. Brightening your teeth with a cosmetic dental procedure is one of the most sought-after treatments as you can achieve fantastic results in only a few short visits. Teeth whitening is a great way to brighten your smile without compromising the integrity of your teeth. It offers an effective, non-invasive option for lightening discoloration and restoring natural tooth color.

​

Tooth Extraction

If your tooth is seriously broken, decayed, or suffering from an infection that cannot be remedied, it might be essential to extract the tooth. Our professionals at Bent Creek Dental are devoted to making sure your tooth extraction experience is as smooth and effortless as can be.

​

Emergency Dental Care

An urgent dental issue is any oral condition that requires immediate medical attention to rescue a tooth or soothe intense throbbing pain in the jaw or teeth. Emergency dental care isn't only designed to provide instant relief, but it also works proactively to protect your teeth and gums from further harm. We empathize with your current circumstances and would be delighted to quickly get you the care that you deserve.

​

Dental Implants

If you're missing a tooth, the optimal solution is to get a dental implant - an artificial titanium post that's placed securely in your jawbone. It functions as a synthetic foundation for the dental crown that is placed above it. Dental implants are the optimal choice for replacing missing teeth as they offer a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result that closely resembles your own teeth. Moreover, dental implants provide excellent functionality when compared to other solutions available.

​

Root Canal Therapy

Saving a tooth that is severely damaged and contaminated can often be accomplished by undergoing root canal treatment. The process requires extracting the compromised tissue from within your tooth and sealing it off to avert recurring infection.

​

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry's primary objective is to reconstruct and replace any fractured, broken, or missing teeth. If you're looking for the ultimate in restorative dentistry, then look no further. Our office offers composite fillings, crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers and dental implants - all of which are top-notch solutions to your dental needs!

​

Dental X-rays

X-rays are otherwise known as dental radiographs. Dentists rely on radiographs for a multitude of reasons, ranging from locating concealed dental anatomy to detecting malignancies or benign growths and inspecting bone loss or cavities. X-rays offer dentists a valuable diagnostic tool to identify potential oral health issues before they progress into more serious problems.

 

Periodontal/Gum Treatment

By buffing away the harsher edges, we can eliminate bacteria and create a sanitized area for your gums to curl back around the teeth. If pockets of plaque and hardened deposits (also known as tartar) have formed beneath your gums, then scaling and root planing is the ideal treatment to remove these unhealthy accumulations. Dental gum treatment and Perio therapy are essential in promoting oral health when a patient has periodontal disease.

 

Dentures

Dentures are artificial teeth designed to fill the gap of missing natural ones. If you are missing all of your teeth, a complete denture will be able to restore your smile. If only some of the teeth need replacing, removable partial dentures can provide an effective solution. By tailoring each unique smile and bite to suit the individual, you can enhance facial aesthetics, chewing ability and confidence. Moreover, it may even help resolve any speech issues caused by missing teeth.

 

General Dentistry

Your primary dental care provider is a general dentist - the go-to professional for all of your oral health needs. Our dentist provides a full range of dental services, including diagnosis and treatment for gums, root canals, fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges and preventive education. We are committed to helping you achieve the best oral health care possible.

 

Composite Fillings

If your tooth is beginning to show signs of minor decay, our skilled dentists can easily restore it with a dental filling. At Bent Creek Dental, we are delighted to provide you with the top-notch composite dental fillings in Auburn, Alabama. These handy tooth restorations will not only repair your damaged teeth but also maintain their aesthetic appeal by using a resin that matches its color!

 

Porcelain Veneers

With a porcelain veneer, you can restore the aesthetic of your smile and cover any unsightly chips or other damage to your teeth. This delicate ceramic shell replicates the look and feel of natural enamel, creating a beautiful smile that will help boost your confidence. Porcelain veneers are remarkably robust and resilient, crafted from durable materials. At our Auburn, Alabama dental office, Dr. Mathis can use permanent porcelain veneers to completely revitalize the smiles of our patients!

 

Family Dentist and Pediatric Dentistry

Family dentistry is devoted to providing optimum oral health for everyone, regardless of age. Children's dental requirements are distinct from adults, so it is essential to have a family dentist who provides comprehensive oral healthcare services for all stages of growth -- from infant teeth to permanent adult teeth.

 

During the early months of life, children will start to sprout their first baby teeth. Around the age of 6 or 7, children's first set of teeth begin to fall out and are replaced by their permanent secondary set. Without the right dental treatment, children are in danger of enduring cavities and other ailments that can haunt them for a lifetime. Pediatric dentistry is devoted to providing young patients with specialized, comprehensive dental care and addressing a wide range of oral health concerns.

 

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments are a proven method of strengthening your tooth enamel and warding off cavity-causing decay. Thanks to this simple yet powerful solution, millions have been able to enjoy healthier smiles! To maximize their efficacy, regular use of dental treatments is key – particularly for those adults and children who are especially prone to cavities.

 

Sealants

Sealants are a great way to prevent cavities and help protect your teeth! Utilizing this treatment can save you time, money, and the hassle of having to visit the dentist more often. Sealants are commonly used for the back teeth, as their large crevices can make them hard to keep clean.

 

By forming a protective shield, sealants keep food particles and bacteria away from the crevices of your teeth to help avoid cavities. Applying sealants can be a quick and simple process, with effective results that will last for several prolonged years if you take proper care of them.

 

Cosmetic Dentist

Cosmetic dentistry specializes in enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your teeth, empowering you to make a dazzling first impression. If your smile is less than perfect, you can rely on a cosmetic dentist to make it beautiful again. Cosmetic dentistry can be a powerful tool to help address various dental issues, such as discolored or stained teeth, missing gaps and misalignments. With these procedures, individuals can obtain the confident smile they have always desired!
