The General and Family Dentistry We Offer
If you’re looking for truly compassionate and comprehensive dental care in Missoula, our office is the place for you! Here are just a few examples of the wonderful treatments we can provide your family, no matter if they are the newest members or those in their golden years.
General Dentistry
When you step through our office doors, we want your family to feel like our own. That is why Ponderosa Dental Group can take care of all your general dentistry needs.
What is general dentistry exactly? By the time we reach age 12, our mouths are nearing the final changes and it is time to focus on preventative care that will maintain your healthy and happy smile for years to come.
Some of the most effective treatments to do this are:
- Dental Exams & Cleanings: Dental exams and cleanings should be done twice a year. Set your appointments for every six months to keep good oral health.
- Oral Cancer Check: The oral cancer check is usually done during your dental exam and cleaning appointments. Early detection is key to a good outcome!
- Periodontal Treatment: Periodontal disease (also known as gum disease) can lead to bone loss. We have treatments available to help stop gum disease!
- Fillings and Crowns: These restorative treatments are essential for repairing damaged teeth and protecting your oral health.
Children’s Dentistry
Growing children have special oral health needs, so it is important to have a dentist with experience and training specific to them. We want to create good dental experiences for your children, to help avoid dental fears and build strong life-long oral health habits.
Some of our pediatric treatments can include:
- Routine cleanings to keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy.
- Dental checkups to monitor oral health like bite strength and jaw development.
- Dental sealants to help protect against cavities and reduce the risk of needing a tooth extraction.
- Fluoride to build up plaque resistance and strengthen teeth.
Elderly Dental Care
It is not easy growing older; there are a lot of physical changes our bodies undergo. Some of the most noticeable changes occur in our oral health needs; after all, our mouths are incredibly hardworking!
From chewing, and speaking, to even keeping our facial and jaw muscles strong, our mouths play an incredibly vital and important role in our daily lives. This is why our office has everything you and your loved ones need to maintain a healthy smile well into your golden years!
The most popular services for senior patients include:
- Dentures: We offer full or partial dentures, allowing you to replace any number of missing teeth so you can chew, speak clearly, and enjoy all the health benefits of a new and beautiful smile.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: The most natural-looking and feeling dentures that provide all the functions of your natural teeth. Better yet, they don’t require any additional maintenance but are simply brushed and flossed like your original teeth.
- Advanced Dental Cleanings: Multiple studies have shown that you have a 70% chance of developing gum disease if you are 60 years old or older. That doesn’t have to be the case thanks to our high-tech dental cleaning which uses an AMD Picasso Clario laser to remove bacteria and gum disease with unparalleled precision.
