Elk River Family Dentistry provides a broad array of general dental services.
Preventative Dentistry Examinations Restorative Dentistry Crowns Extractions Implants Mouth Guards   Preventative Dentistry:  Our services will help to preserve your natural teeth for a lifetime and help to maintain your oral health at an optimum level. We offer total dental care from cleanings to restorative dentistry to cosmetic dentistry.
Examination:  Cleanings include removal of plaque and calculus to prevent gum disease.  We provide fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel.  Sealants, plastic preventative coatings, can be applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent teeth to help prevent decay.  Nitrous oxide is available to relax patients--it works particularly well with children.  Restorative Dentistry:  We offer many options to repair broken, decayed or missing teeth. White fillings allow shades to match the color of existing teeth. Silver fillings provide a less expensive alternative.
Crowns (caps):  Crowns cover, protect and support broken or fractured teeth, and they provide an alternative to large fillings for teeth lacking sufficient supportive structure. Gold is the strongest and most durable material in dentistry. Porcelain fused to metal crowns provide the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. Bridges replace spaces caused by missing teeth.   Extractions:  We provide removal of both permanent and baby teeth.  Extractions are available if directed by an orthodontist in preparation for braces.
Implants:  Specialists place titanium posts into bone, and our dentists can place custom made crowns on the implanted post. Mouth Guards:  We size and fit custom made mouth guards both for athletics and over night protection from wear due to grinding and clenching.
