Our Procedures

Teeth Cleaning

Whether it’s been a while since your last checkup or you are worried about a tooth, our patients in the Richmond, Virginia, area come to us because we put their comfort first. To ensure your mouth is healthy, checkups include face time with your dentist, digital X-rays when needed, a complete periodontal assessment, oral cancer screening, and a bite and jaw movement evaluation. During the checkup, if we find decay, broken fillings, or fractures, your dentist will recommend a treatment plan, and you can discuss possible next steps together.

Gum Disease

Midlothian Dental Center is here to make sure your gums are in perfect health, whether you’re only in for a checkup or your gums are giving you a problem. Should we find any issues with your gums, we’ll talk to you about possible steps and treatments. A problem like gum disease can be treated by being proactive. Gum disease is reversible in its early stages. You can keep gum disease from becoming a problem by brushing, flossing, and seeing your dentist regularly.

Sleep Apnea

Even though 22 million Americans have sleep apnea, 80 percent of those cases are undiagnosed. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to the symptoms you may experience that could indicate you have sleep apnea, a condition that causes people to involuntarily stop breathing for 10 or more seconds throughout the night. Because these symptoms are so chronic, they can be hard to recognize. Unfortunately, many people allow them to become “their norm” when they shouldn’t be. At Midlothian Dental Center, we help treat sleeping disorders like sleep apnea, as well as chronic snoring. If you think you may not be getting the most restful sleep you can, make your appointment with us today. Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that is associated with higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Dental Bonding

If you live in the Richmond area, Midlothian Dental Center can help you attain a beautiful smile. Dental bonding may be a great option for you based on your needs and goals. Dental bonding is a cosmetic solution available to improve the appearance of your teeth. Unlike veneers, bonding doesn’t require anything be sent a way to a laboratory in order to create a customized mold. With bonding, chipped, misshapen, discolored, or damaged teeth can be fixed seamlessly in one visit. Bonding is one of the easiest cosmetic dental procedures, making it one of the most affordable. Our dentists use composite resin to carefully shape and polish bonding as closely as possible to match your teeth.

Fillings & Crowns

If you have a silver filling, it may degrade or blacken over time. Silver fillings tend to expand, which means they sometimes damage the tooth’s structure so it no longer holds a filling. This is where Midlothian Dental Center can help by replacing your filling with a tooth-colored filling – or replacing the filling with a crown. Tooth-colored fillings are made of resin, and have a much more natural appearance than silver fillings. With a resin filling, your tooth can be made stronger than before. Crowns, also known as caps, cover the entire tooth down to the root to keep it protected. Crowns can endure heavier use, which is why they are helpful in treating decayed or broken teeth.

Sealants & Fluoride Treatments

Protective coatings and topical fluoride to reduce risk of decay, especially for children and teens.

Dental Implants

For many years, the only treatment when loosing teeth were dentures or bridges. Today, however, dental implants are a great alternative. Dental implants replace tooth roots. They are set into your jaw, and over time, the jawbone actually grows into the implant. Depending on whether you are missing one, several, or all of your teeth, you may have a single implant, or implant-supported bridges. The procedure typically involves local anesthesia, to make for a painless experience. Implants are made to match your natural teeth. They don’t require removal or adhesives like dentures. Because they fuse with the bone, they become permanent. In fact, with proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Invisalign

With Invisalign® you can have the smile you’ve always wanted without the braces you’ve always avoided. Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. Invisalign® uses clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. With Invisalign® you can brush and floss normally, which can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign® has been proven effective in both clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. Over a quarter million people are already smiling more thanks to Invisalign®. It’s time for you to get your confidence back by investing in your smile.

IV Sedation

Intravenous (IV) Sedation is a compound of chemicals that are carefully measured in advance, and administered through an IV in the hand or arm. You’ll lay back comfortably in the chair, and once the sedation is administered you’ll feel intense relaxation. Keep in mind that you are NOT unconscious, but rather in a deep state of relaxation. You’ll be able to respond to your dentist and our nurse anesthetist, but will feel no pain and have no memory of the procedure.

Book an Appointment

Conscious Sedation

Conscious sedation is a combination of medicines to help you relax (a sedative) and to block pain (an anesthetic) during a medical or dental procedure. You will probably stay awake but may not be able to speak. The sedative is carefully administered to last the duration of your visit, proportional to the extent of the dental care you require. Conscious sedation enables you to recover quickly and return to your everyday activities soon after your procedure.

Book an Appointment

Veneers

A veneer is simply a thin, custom made translucent layer of porcelain or composite that fits permanently over an existing tooth to improve its shape, color or size. If you’ve ever looked at a celebrity or model and wondered how they achieved that seemingly perfect smile – the answer is likely porcelain veneers. Today, veneers are a more common, affordable, durable, and long-lasting solution for anyone looking to quickly improve their smile. Using computer imaging and before-and-after photos, we work with each patient to decide on the style, shape and color veneer that works best for the smile you’re looking to achieve.
