Missing Teeth
If you are missing teeth due to injury, disease, age, tooth extraction, or any other factor, replacing them can greatly improve your appearance and your health. Our doctors offer several options for replacing missing teeth.
Bleeding Gums
Many Americans believe sore or bleeding gums are normal. While you can cause it by aggressive brushing or flossing, your gums should not bleed. Sore or bleeding gums may indicate gingivitis or periodontal (gum) disease. Dr. Conover and Dr. Doray can diagnose periodontal disease and provide treatment.
Worn/Broken Teeth
Sometimes, teeth are worn or broken from injury or an accident. However, if several of your teeth are worn or broken, an underlying condition may be to blame. Dr. Conover can diagnose the cause of worn or broken teeth and offer treatment options.
Teeth Grinding
Millions of Americans grind their teeth. While occasional teeth grinding is not harmful, constant grinding can damage teeth and cause other oral complications. Also known as bruxism, teeth grinding usually happens during sleep.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth are aesthetically unattractive and pose oral health problems. Many adults don’t want braces, and Dr. Conover offers other options for fixing crooked teeth.
Discolored Teeth
Everyone experiences discolored or yellow teeth at some point in their lifetime. While there are many over-the-counter treatment options for stained teeth, the best treatment is available through a dentist. Dr. Conover offers a variety of treatment options, even some that can usually be done in a single visit.
