General Dentistry
The evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity are all related to general dentistry. Carolina Dental Care is a dental office providing an all-encompassing range of general dentistry services to the residents of Longs, SC, and is experienced in all aspects of dental care.
Dental Bridge
Replacing a missing tooth by attaching an artificial tooth to the natural teeth adjacent to it is a dental bridge. Bridges can either be permanently attached or they can be removable. Replacement of lost teeth is important both for cosmetic benefits, but also because it can help to ensure the continued functionality of the rest of your teeth. The doctors at Carolina Dental Care are experienced in bridgework and would love to meet with you to discuss if a bridge would be beneficial in maintaining good dental health.
Dental Crown
In order to repair a tooth that is badly damaged, you may need a porcelain crown to cover the tooth. A dental crown is a dental solution that can provide long-lasting corrections for a number of dental issues, such as teeth that are misshapen or broken. A tooth crown looks exactly like a natural tooth, so it can help restore your smile. In addition to cosmetic benefits, a dental crown can also provide a solution for chewing problems you may be experiencing due to a broken or misshapen tooth. The dentists at Carolina Dental Care are experienced at repairing broken teeth with crowns that look exactly like a natural tooth!
Fillings
Cavities can be a common dental issue. If you have a cavity and need a filling, we are proud to offer tooth-colored restorations. In addition to providing a cleaner cosmetic look, these are stronger and last longer than old silver fillings.
Root Canal
Carolina Dental Care offers non-surgical root canal therapy. We offer both local anesthesia and nitrous oxide analgesia to eliminate discomfort. With our surgery-free solution to root canal problems, our patients are usually able to drive themselves home from the appointment and often feel comfortable returning to their normal activities. This is another example of the outstanding customer service provided by Carolina Dental Care. It is important to us that our services are as convenient as possible!
Teeth Cleaning
Routine teeth cleaning is a vital part in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. It is important to have your teeth cleaned twice a year along with a general dental checkup. Carolina Dental Care has a team of professional dental hygienists. Give us a call today to schedule your next teeth cleaning!
Sealants
Dental sealants are very effective in preventing tooth decay on the biting surface of your teeth. In order to maximize the effect of the sealants, we ensure there is no decay present before applying the sealants. We utilize a state-of-the-art Diagnodent laser to examine each tooth prior to sealant application.
Tooth Extractions
While tooth extractions are another common dental procedure, the dentists at Carolina Dental Care do not take extractions lightly and will discuss and explore various treatment options that could be alternatives to extracting a tooth. Teeth may need to be removed for a variety of reasons, such as the tooth being severely decayed, broken in a way that cannot be repaired, improperly positioned in the mouth, or it may need to be removed for orthodontic treatment. If an extraction is unavoidable, our doctors will discuss appropriate replacement options.
Same-day Emergency Services
We understand that there are times when our patients may need our services more quickly than usual and we want to make sure they are always taken care of. From waking up with a terrible toothache to accidentally knocking out a tooth, we are here to help. If you need to see us right away, please call our office and request a same-day appointment and we'll get you in as soon as possible!
Cosmetic Dentistry Services for the Whole Family
Dr. Spiguzza, Dr. Holly and Dr. Champion all understand the importance of your smile. Even a small improvement on your smile can have a large impact on your self-confidence. As your Longs, SC cosmetic dentistry specialists, the dentists at Carolina Dental Care stay up-to-date on all the latest advancements and newest technology in the dental field. This allows us to have all the current cosmetic dentistry options available to help you transform your smile.
Our cosmetic dentistry services include:
Bonding
Bonding is a dental repair technique that can be utilized as an alternative to veneers for restoring or repairing damaged teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discolored. A bonding liquid is applied to your tooth and a plastic resin is applied that is then sculpted and shaped by our dentists. After shaping, it is smoothed and polished to match your natural teeth. A bonding repair typically lasts from 3-5 years
.
CEREC
CEREC is a specialized procedure that Carolina Dental Care utilizes to replace old metal fillings that can go bad, actually weaken the tooth, or even cause further decay around it. The CEREC procedure allows for the replacement of these metal fillings with tooth-colored all-ceramic materials. This replacement can be completed in one appointment! This is a great example of how Carolina Dental Care stays up-to-date with all the latest dental technology and utilizes procedures that maximize convenience for our customers while minimizing office visits.
ClearCorrect Orthodontics
With a series of clean, removable aligners that straighten your teeth, ClearCorrect is able to correct your smile without the metal wires or brackets associated with traditional braces. Total treatment time varies, but typically averages between 9-15 months. Contact our dental office for more information on our orthodontic program.
Custom Bleaching
Teeth whitening has become one of the most popular ways to cosmetically improve the look of your smile. In addition to being a safe and affordable way to brighten your smile, it is also minimally invasive. Call us today to speak with a member of our team about our teeth-whitening services.
Dental Implants
If you have teeth that are missing, Carolina Dental Care offers dental implants that provide a foundation for permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and function exactly like a natural tooth. In addition to the cosmetic benefits of helping you gain back confidence with a smile you are proud to show off, a tooth implant can also help to maintain facial structure and prevent bone deterioration that can occur when teeth are missing. The dentists at Carolina Dental Care are experienced in dental implants. If you have questions regarding a dental implant and if it would be beneficial for you, call our office today to schedule a consultation. Dental implant costs can vary widely, depending on a number of factors. The price will be discussed during your consultation.
Dentures and Partials
Carolina Dental Care is proud to offer a variety of partials and dentures. We offer both conventional and immediate dentures. With conventional dentures, all of the teeth are extracted and after the tissue has healed, the dentures are made. For immediate dentures, they are both fabricated and inserted immediately after extraction of all the teeth and the tissue then heals underneath the denture. We also offer a variety of partials, such as acrylic partials, cast metal partials, and flexible partials. Call us today to schedule a consultation where we can discuss your specific needs and which options will work best for you.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and Onlays are utilized by our doctors when the surface of a tooth is damaged. Inlays and onlays are highly versatile and can be made from a variety of materials, such as porcelain, gold, or composite resin. The chosen material is bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. An inlay is similar to a filling and is bonded inside the cusp tips of the tooth. If a more substantial repair is needed, an onlay is similar to an inlay, but extends out over one or more tooth cusps. These are a great alternative to traditional fillings because, while traditional fillings can weaken the strength of your natural tooth by up to 50 percent, inlays and onlays can actually increase tooth strength by up to 75 percent! Inlays and onlays are one of the many tools our dentists utilize to ensure we are doing everything to keep your smile beautiful and healthy. For more information on this procedure, call our office today!
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of ceramic that attach directly to the front surfaces of your teeth. Due to their simplicity and versatility, they have become an increasingly popular choice for improving the look of your smile! Our dentists have extensive experience in designing and placing veneers to match your existing teeth and enhance your smile.
