Our Services
We provide a variety of Periodontics & Implant Dentistry Services in Omaha, NE.
Periodontal Disease
Here at Specialty Dental Care P.C., one of our top priorities is diagnosing and treating periodontal disease. According to the CDC, about 47% of the adult American population suffers from mild to severe periodontal disease. We want to reduce this number.
Dental Implants
Certain conditions may cause extensive damage to the teeth. Often in these cases, certain teeth may not be able to be saved. In these situations, periodontists recommend the placement of dental implants. At Specialty Dental Care, we have years of dental implant experience.
Sinus Elevation Procedures
Tooth loss and the resulting bone and tissue loss can cause great discomfort, and can negatively impact his or her ability to properly and painlessly chew food. If the damage is too extensive, certain preparatory procedures are needed for successful implant dentistry.
Tissue Regeneration
Gum disease is a destructive condition that can cause severe damage to a patient’s gum, tooth, and jawbone tissues. Fortunately, your periodontist can provide a variety of procedures that can correct that damage and help patients continue with a higher quality of life.
Crown Lengthening
Often used to aid in the placement of bridges or crowns. A sufficient amount of solid bone is required a sufficient amount to be securely placed. Some circumstances require exposure of the bone below to provide enough foundation for a bridge or crown.
Esthetic Periodontal Procedures
Periodontists can enhance a patient’s teeth and gums for aesthetic purposes as well as medical necessity. Periodontists are often considered the “regenerative surgeons” of dentistry and can improve your smile safely and precisely.
Eruption/Tooth Extraction
Our teeth emerge naturally from our gums at certain stages of our young lives, often between six months and two years. Breaking through the gum tissue and becoming visible is called “eruption.” These “baby teeth” are found in the mouth until the eruption of permanent teeth begins, usually around age six.
Sedation
We have years of experience with varying levels of dental sedation. The comfort and safety of our patients is our top priority. We go to great lengths to ensure that the people who walk through our doors leave as satisfied and comfortable as possible. One of the ways we can do this is through dental sedation.
Digital X-Rays
X-rays allow periodontists and dentists to discover hidden conditions at a very early stage. Some of these conditions include gum disease, tooth decay, and even abnormal growths. X-Rays allow these to be caught early, these issues are easier and less costly to treat than their more advanced stages.
Ongoing Care
Ongoing care is necessary for someone who has gum disease/periodontal disease because while it can be treated, it never goes away. We have short-term plans, long-term plans customized post-treatment care for our patients. Maintenance appointments are less than an hour and allow us to monitor your oral health.
Emergencies
We’re capable of providing many services: extractions, root canal prep, and temporary fillings. We can do x-rays and other diagnostics to determine the condition of your oral emergency. From there, we can determine if an implant is necessary, saving the crown is viable, or worst case- if an extraction needs to occur.
