Patients who suffer from missing teeth struggle with simple tasks like eating and speaking and become more
susceptible to further dental issues such as tooth decay. That’s why at Dow’s Lake Dental, Dr. El-Hawary
specializes in dental implants to help give patients the smile of their dreams and protect their oral health in
the process.
Dental sealants, usually applied to the chewing surface of teeth, act as a barrier against decay-causing
bacteria. Most often, the sealants are applied to the back teeth, e.g., premolars and molars.
Root canal treatments on diseased or abscessed teeth. Once a tooth is injured, cracked or decayed, it is
necessary to open the tooth and clean out the infected tissue in the center. This space is then filled and the
opening sealed.
Crowns are dental restorations that protect damaged, cracked or broken teeth. Dental crowns often referred to as
caps, sit over the entire part of the tooth that lies above the gum line. Crowns are also placed on top of dental
implants. Bridges are a method to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Bridges are false teeth anchored in place by
neighboring teeth. A bridge consists of two crowns on the anchoring teeth along with the false tooth in the
center.
Implants are complete replacement of missing teeth. A titanium screw is placed in the bone and a crown is placed
on top of the implant to provide a new tooth.
Dentures are prosthetic devices replacing lost teeth. There are two types of dentures – partial and full. Full
dentures are often referred to as “false teeth”.
Oral cancer starts in the cells of the mouth, tongue or throat. Oral cancer screening is usually a routine part
of a dental examination. In this exam, your dentist will feel for lumps or irregular tissue changes in your neck,
head, face, and inside your mouth. Your dentist will also look for sores or discolored tissue in your mouth.
Teeth naturally darken with age, however staining may be caused by various foods and beverages such as coffee,
tea and berries, some drugs such as tetracycline, smoking, or a trauma to a tooth. We offer various in-office and
take-home whitening options. We’ll have you smiling bright at the Heart & Crown in no time.
Veneers are strong, thin pieces of ceramic or resin materials that are bonded to the teeth. Veneers are used to
repair chipped, decayed or stained teeth and may help in closing gaps between teeth.
Periodontal or gum disease is an infection that affects the gums and jaw bone, which can lead to a loss of gum
and teeth. There are two major stages — gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the milder and reversible
form; periodontal disease is often more severe. In some cases, gum surgery will be required to reverse the effect
of the disease.
With conscious sedation, you will remain awake throughout your procedure but will be in a deep state of
relaxation. It is recommended that patients receiving conscious sedation have a parent, spouse, or friend
accompany them to appointments because it can take several hours for the sedative to wear off and driving may be
unsafe.
Snoring may be a sign of a breathing problem called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Both can be treated with a
simple custom-made oral appliance that is worn at night.
