Gums are the foundation for healthy teeth and if periodontal disease worsens, it may result to losing teeth. To prevent the disease from worsening, your doctor may recommend scaling and root planing, which is also known as a deep cleaning.

Sealants
Sealants are a thin, tooth-colored coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of teeth. This creates a protective shield over the enamel, sealing out tooth decay. It is common to get decay and cavities in the back teeth because the grooves of those teeth are difficult to keep clean. Since we approach dentistry with a preventive focus, we can be proactive by placing sealants on those back molars.

We recommend sealants for children, but in some circumstances, we may recommend them for adults as well.

Night Guards
Are you experiencing the following symptoms?

  • Worn teeth
  • Constant migraines
  • A sore jaw

These could be signs you’re grinding your teeth at night. Nighttime clenching creates uncomfortable pressure on your smile, which causes it to wear away over time. We can help with custom-made night guards. Customized to the contours of your smile, a night guard will protect your teeth from the nightly grind, preventing the need for extensive work in the future. Talk to us today for more information.

Invisalign
Invisalign is an orthodontic solution to straight teeth without metal brackets and wires.It’s easier than ever to achieve a straight smile – without metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is the modern twist to braces, straightening your smile with clear, removable aligners.

What does this mean for you?

  • Eat your favorite foods: Invisalign uses clear aligners, which are REMOVABLE. This means you can remove Invisalign when you need to eat, allowing you to dine on your favorite gourmet meals without worrying of disrupting your treatment.
  • Brush and floss normally: With traditional braces, it’s difficult to keep your mouth healthy with brushing and flossing. Since the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss without difficulty, keeping your smile in tip-top shape.
  • Virtually invisible: Hardly anyone will notice you’re receiving orthodontic treatment, thanks to the clear nature of the aligners.
  • Incredible results: Depending on your case, Invisalign can last up to 1-2 years. In the end, you’ll achieve a straight, beautiful smile you’ll absolutely adore.

Restore Your Smile’s Function And Beauty With Restorative Dentistry in Troy, MI

Smile with pride and confidence while enjoying your favorite foods.

Bridges
Bridges are another replacement option for missing teeth. A bridge consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) that is suspended across the space left behind by missing teeth. It is held in place by crowns bonded to each tooth on either side of the gap.

Bridges are an excellent option if you aren’t a candidate for dental implants or if you’re looking for a cost-effective solution to replace missing teeth. Talk to Dr. Balutowicz to discuss your missing teeth options.

Implant Restorations
It’s important to us for you to feel confident with your smile AND yourself. If you’re missing teeth, we can help give your smile a second chance with dental implants.

Dental implants are the next best option to your natural teeth. Not only do they replace missing teeth, but they can:

  • Allow you to eat your favorite foods with ease
  • Help you speak clearly without slurring and mumbling your words
  • Stop jawbone deterioration (caused by missing teeth) to bring back facial support
  • Last almost a lifetime (with the proper care)

Dental implants replaces missing teeth.

Dental implants work in three parts. First, the titanium post is placed within the jawbone, which is done by an oral surgeon whom Dr. Balutowicz works closely with. Second, the abutment is placed to make room for a crown. Finally, Dr. Balutowicz will blend and shape a crown to blend with your natural smile.

In the end, you’ll walk out of our office with beautiful, functional smile.
