A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and cleaning the root canal system. Afterward, the tooth is sealed and restored with a crown to protect it from further damage. Root canals are often necessary when a tooth becomes deeply decayed or cracked or when there is significant infection in the pulp.
A dental exam and cleaning is a routine visit to the dentist designed to keep your mouth healthy, prevent problems, and catch issues early.
During a dental exam, your dentist will:
This helps detect issues early, when they are easier and less costly to treat.
A professional dental cleaning, performed by a hygienist, includes:
Cleanings leave your teeth fresh, reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease, and give you a brighter smile.
Digital dental X-rays are modern images of your teeth, gums, and jaw taken with advanced technology that uses very low radiation. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays create instant, high-quality images that appear on a computer screen, making it easy for our dentist to spot cavities, gum issues, bone loss, or other hidden problems. They are safe, quick, and an important part of keeping your smile healthy.
A fluoride treatment is a quick and painless preventive dental service that helps protect your teeth from cavities and decay. Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to everyday acids from food and bacteria. At Smile Solutions Beavercreek Family Dentistry, we apply concentrated fluoride directly to your teeth during a routine visit, giving you an added layer of defense to keep your smile healthy and strong.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings made of a safe resin material that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth often have deep grooves where food and bacteria can get trapped, making them harder to keep clean. Sealants act as a barrier, sealing off those grooves to prevent cavities and decay. The process is quick, painless, and provides long-lasting protection — especially helpful for children and teens, but beneficial for adults as well.
An oral cancer screening is a simple, painless exam performed by your dentist to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. The goal is to identify changes early—when treatment is most effective.
