Dental Hygiene Visits for Overall Good Health
We strongly encourage regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings to help prevent tooth decay and gum infections. When plaque hardens into tartar, it cannot be removed through brushing alone. This build-up can lead to cavities and, more seriously, periodontal (gum) disease if it forms below the gumline.
Advanced gum infections are not just a dental concern—they’re linked to serious health issues like diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. That’s why we take dental hygiene seriously and encourage you to do the same. Routine cleanings help protect more than just your smile—they help protect your overall health!
Pain Relief from TMJ Disorders
Have you been experiencing jaw, neck, or shoulder pain? Perhaps you’ve noticed aching or popping in your jaw. These could be signs of TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder), often caused by an improper bite or malocclusion, where the upper and lower teeth don’t align correctly.
This condition can develop due to accidents, disease, or long-term wear and tear. When the jaw doesn’t rest in its natural position, it places strain on surrounding muscles, leading to discomfort or chronic pain. If you’re noticing symptoms of TMD, let us know—we offer effective treatment options to relieve your pain and restore function.
Early Detection in Oral Cancer
Did you know that oral cancer claims one American life every hour? Even more alarming—this statistic hasn’t changed in decades. However, early detection can make a lifesaving difference. Oral cancer screenings are simple, non-invasive, and performed during your routine six-month visits.
At Babin Dental, our dentist and hygienist are trained to identify early warning signs. If anything suspicious is noted, we’ll refer you to a specialist for further evaluation. Early detection can lead to a cure—with cure rates as high as 90% when treated early.
Invisalign®: Straighter Teeth Without Metal
Looking for a discreet way to straighten your teeth? Invisalign® may be the answer. This system uses a series of clear, custom aligner trays to gently shift teeth into proper alignment. You’ll switch to a new tray weekly and attend periodic check-ups at our Picardy office to monitor progress.
With Invisalign, you can achieve a confident smile—without the look and feel of traditional braces.
Root Canals (Endodontic Therapy)
When decay reaches the inner nerve of a tooth, root canal therapy is needed. During this procedure, the infected pulp is removed and replaced with a specialized material. This not only stops the infection but helps preserve the tooth and avoid extraction.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If your tooth is damaged by decay, we’ll restore it with an attractive, durable tooth-colored filling. These fillings blend in naturally with your smile and restore strength and function to the affected tooth.
Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved, extraction may be the best option. We make the process comfortable and will walk you through your tooth replacement options as needed.
In-Office & Take-Home Whitening
Want a brighter smile? Babin Dental offers both in-office ZOOM!™ whitening and custom take-home trays. Whether you prefer immediate results or gradual whitening on your own schedule, we have the solution.
Periodontal Scaling & Root Planing
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning treatment that removes harmful bacteria and plaque below the gumline to help stop the progression of periodontal disease.
Dentures
Whether you're missing several teeth or a full arch, dentures can restore your smile and confidence. We offer custom dentures that are both functional and natural-looking, helping you eat, speak, and smile with ease.
Crown, Inlay & Onlay Restorations
Crown Restorations
When a tooth is severely damaged from decay, fractures, or large fillings, a crown may be necessary. A crown acts as a protective cap that restores strength and structure to the tooth.
Inlay Restorations
Inlays are custom-made porcelain restorations bonded within the center of the tooth. They are ideal for repairing larger cavities while preserving more of your natural tooth than a crown.
Onlay Restorations
Also known as partial crowns, onlays cover one or more chewing cusps of the tooth. They offer a conservative and durable alternative to full crowns.
All of these restorations can be crafted and placed in a single visit at our Picardy office, thanks to our advanced CAD/CAM technology.
All three of these restorations are conveniently made in just one visit with our CADCAM technology!
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can make everyday life challenging—from chewing and speaking to smiling with confidence. Fortunately, dental implants offer a lasting solution. These artificial tooth roots support a crown, bridge, or denture, providing the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
