Restore Your Teeth with a Dental Crown.

A Crown Restores a Damaged Tooth

Over time teeth can become worn down, or a trauma may result in a broken tooth. In these cases, a simple filling may not be sufficient to restore your tooth to full functionality. When this happens, a crown may be the perfect solution for refurbishing your tooth. A crown will save and even add strength to the damaged tooth. Dr. Rykard uses the best-quality materials available. When he’s done, it will appear so natural, you won’t be able to distinguish it from a real tooth. Check out our CEREC™ page for information on crowns made while you wait!

Dental Root Canal Treatments

Saving Hopeless Teeth

A root canal – the very thought is sufficient to make most people wince. In the past, before the development of proper instruments and anesthesia, the root canal deserved its dreaded reputation. However, with modern anesthetics and new, innovative technology, root canals are now exceptionally manageable. This technique fixes a tooth by removing the pulp chamber and replacing it with a filling material. This is often mandatory when dental decay touches the nerve of the tooth or the tooth has developed an infection, and a simple filling will not repair the damage. Teeth with these issues used to necessitate extraction, which can bring on even more difficulties and should be avoided whenever possible. Call us today and find out how Dr. Rykard can help you save your teeth. He’s very experienced in advanced root canal therapy.

Sedation Dentistry

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

“Laughing gas” – the nickname most people use to refer to nitrous oxide sedation – is regularly used to obtain a lightly desirable comfort level for treatment. Inhaled through a mask, this type of sedation introduces the medication into your system by allowing you to simply breathe the compound in. Then a state of relaxation is induced. Local anesthetic will be given in addition to nitrous oxide to prevent any pain in most cases.

Sedation Dentistry

Dental Care in a Relaxing Environment

Even though Dr. Rykard takes great satisfaction in his ability to dispense painless injections, some people are inherently stressed at even the idea of a needle. If you or a loved one breaks into a cold sweat at the mere thought of seeing the dentist, we have a simple solution.

One hour prior to your visit, you take a pill that we provide to you. You will achieve a point of sedation that permits you to reply to questions but mostly sleep through your entire visit. This is perfect for fearful people or those who have a hectic schedule and want to receive all their treatment in a single visit.
