One of the most important aspects of your overall oral health is keeping your teeth and gums healthy and strong. To help in this effort, we provide dental exams for your entire family. There are usually several options to dental care. Dr. Stasny will explain your options and allow you to make an informed decision on your dental health.

We are here for you for your emergency needs. We allow time in our schedule every day for emergency care. If you have a sudden dental emergency, call us and we will get you in as soon as possible.

Tooth-colored fillings have several advantages: they look natural, and they actually bond to your teeth, providing a better seal to prevent further decay. If you have decay or want to improve your smile, natural-looking fillings may be a good choice for you.

Professional dental cleanings are important pillars of good oral health. Even patients who diligently follow their dentist’s brushing and flossing guidelines need to supplement their home care routines with regular office visits.
Patients should have their teeth cleaned and examined at least every six months. These semiannual cleanings, also referred to as prophylaxis, help to clear away any plaque and calculus, or tartar, that remain in the mouth despite regular brushing and flossing.

Whether you are in need of a dental crown, bridge, or veneer, we can accommodate your need for those here. They are a common type of dental restoration used to restore both the functionality and beauty of a damaged tooth. Dr. Stasny works hard to guarantee each case fits properly and looks natural with the rest of your smile.

Root canal treatment, often simply called a root canal, is a treatment that focuses on repairing damage and decay to the inner portion of your tooth, which holds your dental pulp, tooth nerves, and root canal system. This sensitive area, when exposed to decay, can easily become infected, causing severe pain and the eventual death of the tooth.

We offer 2 types of Tooth Whitening. We have our in-house which is a process that can be completed in as little as an hour and can whiten your smile by multiple shades. We also offer a “do it yourself at home” technique were we will create custom plastic trays to hold your whitening gel. You will wear these trays snugly over your teeth for a predetermined amount of time each day. With this process, you will have full control over how white your smile becomes in the convenience of your own home. Both whitening options are effective and safe.

Once it is determined that the implant has adhered itself to the bone, it is time to attach the implant abutment and crown. The completing step involves placing abutment on implant. The purpose of placing abutment on implant is to assist in holding the new crown in place. A single implant crown or a unit bridge is designed to look like natural teeth.

Dr. Stasny will always make saving and repairing your natural teeth our first priority. However, there may be some circumstances that necessitate the removal of a tooth from its place in your jawbone. This is called a tooth extraction. We offer both simple and surgical tooth extractions. He will only suggest a tooth extraction if he feels it is absolutely necessary to your overall oral health. We are also committed to ensuring you always feel confident about your smile, and we provide multiple cosmetic and restorative options for replacing the extracted tooth.

What are Dentures? Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that are ideal for replacing most or all of your smile. We offer many different types of dentures, including full dentures and partial dentures.
Full dentures are used to replace all the teeth in your upper or lower dental arch, or both. On the other hand, partial dentures require some natural teeth to remain in your smile. Partial dentures often use a thin metal framework to help hold your denture in place. We are also able to provide dentures to fit over dental implants.

If you are concerned about Sleep Apnea, We can help you screen for it. We provide you with a home sleep apnea monitor. It is a very simplified monitor that tracks your oxygen levels and pulse while worn. It does not fully capture what is monitored with an overnight sleep study. Overnight sleep studies give a more thorough assessment of sleep issues.
