With so many advances in modern dentistry, getting proper dental care is now more comfortable and convenient than ever. In the hands of a skilled and personable professional like Dr. Michael L. Connolly, you will experience safe, relaxing dentistry that can help you protect your smile for years to come.
Comprehensive Care
In addition to standard brushing and flossing, a healthy mouth requires routine preventative care by a dental professional. Regular oral examinations are necessary to screen for potential problems and are designed to keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free. In addition, professional cleanings and fluoride treatments can help maintain your smile's health and beauty.
Dr. Michael L. Connolly and his dedicated team provide comprehensive care for the entire family. Adults and children alike will appreciate our gentle touch and our efforts to make dentistry as painless as possible. For caring, individualized treatment, contact our office today.
Gum Disease Care and Prevention
Periodontal (gum) diseases are serious infections caused by harmful bacteria in the mouth. Left untreated, the bacteria multiply, causing plaque and tartar to form. Eventually, the supportive structures of the teeth become damaged, leading to tooth loss and possibly more serious health concerns.
The mildest form of gum disease, gingivitis, is characterized by red, swollen gums that bleed easily. Untreated gingivitis can advance to periodontitis. At this stage, spaces form between the teeth and gums, and tooth loss can occur.
Gum disease is one of the most common diseases in the United States. Regular screenings by a dental professional are the best way to protect your smile from the damaging effects of gum disease. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment.
Premium Cosmetic Dentures
Dentures are custom molded dental appliances that serve as a replacement for missing teeth. With the help of a qualified dentist, premium cosmetic dentures can help restore your appearance to a more youthful and attractive state. Whether you need full or partial dentures, Dr. Michael L. Connolly personally monitors development of the materials to ensure results that are comfortable, functional, and natural looking. You can be assured that your custom dentures will be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, and that your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence will be completely restored. If you currently wear dentures but are dissatisfied, or if you are in need of dentures for the first time, contact our office today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Michael L. Connolly.
Root Canal Therapy
Endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy, is used to save a tooth that is deeply infected. If the dental pulp at the center of the tooth becomes infected, the tooth's nerves die, and the tooth may die as well. During the root canal procedure, the tooth is permanently sealed, restoring its function and eliminating pain. To maintain the health and beauty of your smile, it is important that you follow a sensible oral hygiene regimen and schedule regular dental appointments. Contact our office today to learn more about endodontic treatment.
Digital X-Rays
Dr. Michael L. Connolly is proud to offer his patients digital x-ray technology. The digital x-ray system quickly produces images that are much sharper than traditional x-rays. The images can also be enhanced and enlarged, making it easier for doctors to explain to the patient the diagnosis and proposed treatment. In addition, digital x-rays are significantly safer than conventional x-ray techniques. Exposure to radiation is reduced by as much as 90 percent, making digital x-rays a clearly superior alternative to traditional x-rays.
