We Make Sure Our Patients Are Comfortable
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
If you suffer from anxiety or fear related to dental work, you’re definitely not alone. In fact, millions of people have admitted to experiencing these negative feelings. At Tennessee Valley Family Dental our East, TN team’s top priority is to provide treatment that’s as comfortable and minimally invasive as possible.
Also known as laughing gas, this technique is ideal for patients with mild to moderate dental phobia. We’ll administer the nitrous oxide through a nasal mask, and within minutes, you should feel calmer and more at ease. Best of all, these effects are quick to wear off when we’re finished, allowing you to get back to your daily routine with virtually no downtime.
We're Here to Take Care of You
Root Canals
During the root canal procedure, we remove the diseased tissue from the affected area to stop the infection from spreading and restore the tooth to good health. Root canal therapy typically involves between more than one visit to Tennessee Valley Family Dental.
Our team starts by creating an X-ray and examining the results to verify the shape of your root canals. After that, the dentist gives an anesthetic to the area of concern. We drill a small hole through the top of your tooth to access its inner chamber. We then remove the infected tissue and cleanse and disinfect the chamber.
Following that, we reshape the tiny canal and fill the cleansed chamber with an elastic material. The dentist administers medication that ensures any infection is kept at bay. If we deem it necessary, we’ll temporarily fill the drilled hole until the dentist applies a permanent seal using a dental crown that’s custom-fitted and matches the color of your natural teeth.
No Need to Worry
Extractions
Even with our state of the art treatments, sometimes the best option is to remove a tooth. No need to worry though. Our team makes your comfort its top priority.
We provide sedation options as well as tooth replacement options that improve your smiles look and feel.
Fillings That Look Real
Composite Restorations
Dental fillings are often the first line of defense against tooth decay. When we determine that a patient has a cavity, depending on the location and the severity of the cavity, we often recommend a dental filling to the patient.
A dental filling is a fantastic option in many cases, as it allows us to not only remove all of the decay, but we can also close off the opening of the tooth and help prevent bacteria from getting back in there.
Tackle Tooth Decay
Crowns
There are many situations in which dental restoration with a crown is beneficial to you. For example, we may suggest you have a crown fitted on a weak tooth that is at risk of fracturing. This can save you a lot of pain and difficulty in the future. We may also suggest a dental implant to cover a tooth that is discolored or poorly shaped.
If you have any missing teeth, your remaining teeth can shift in position. This can cause a variety of problems and should be avoided at all costs. Dental crowns can fill the gaps and prevent you from experiencing this issue.
Safe and Effective Soutions
Implants
Having missing teeth can make it hard to eat, speak, and swallow. What’s more, missing teeth can affect a person’s self-esteem, making them feel self-conscious whenever they smile. Luckily, dental implants in from our East, TN doctors are the perfect solution for when someone has a gap in their grin.
Tennessee Valley Family Dental are experts at placing these implants to provide Johnson City area patients with the picture-perfect teeth they’ve always dreamed of.
