Other Treatments

As leaders in the dental industry, Drs. Baker and Graham continue to search for every dental opportunity they can offer to make your experience a positive one and to meet your oral health needs. 

Periodontal Therapy

You may not realize it, but most Americans experience some form of periodontal disease.  Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or gingivitis, is an infection of the supportive tissues of the mouth due to toxic bacteria found in plaque.  If left untreated, periodontal disease can result in tooth loss, bleeding gums, receding gums, and bad breath.  Ensure the health of your gums and smile.  Let Baker & Graham Dental assess your periodontal health and conduct the appropriate treatment, if needed.  Rest easy knowing your smile is in top condition.

Root Canal

Damage to your tooth’s inner nerve tissue sometimes requires a root canal procedure. Despite the procedure’s negative reputation, most root canals are minimally uncomfortable ― especially compared to the pain and discomfort you may be feeling before the procedure. Baker & Graham Dental takes advantage of advances in technology and dental techniques making root canal procedures more effective, while also taking less time.

A root canal involves removing the soft tissue within the tooth (the pulp) when it has become infected and inflamed. Your dentist gently files the infected tissue out of the root canals of the tooth and fills the void with an inert material. The procedure is completed with the placement of a filling, or in some cases, a crown.

Nightguard

Protect your teeth and jaw from the harmful results of nighttime teeth grinding. A Nightguard is a simple solution.  Baker & Graham Dental provides you with a moldable plastic mouth guard to comfortably fit over your upper teeth, creating a barrier between your upper and lower teeth.  The cushion between the teeth absorbs the force and pressure of grinding.  A Nightguard reduces clenching, grinding, and TMJ problems by helping relax the muscles in the jaw.  Enjoy the relief of a good night’s sleep!
