Dental Services in Owens Cross Roads, AL
Our cosmetic, general, and restorative dental treatments help patients revitalize their smiles, enhance the look of the teeth and gums, and prevent common dental health concerns.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our dentists help patients improve their smiles with cosmetic dentistry treatments:
Botox and Dermal Fillers: Dr. Duling offers Botox, dermal fillers, and PRF facials to smooth out the appearance of the skin. Botox can also treat painful symptoms of TMD, like headaches and facial pain.
Clear Braces: Six Month Smiles, Invisalign, and ClearCorrect offer a more modern and conservative way to straighten crooked and misaligned teeth.
Porcelain Veneers: Tooth veneers are thin shells of porcelain ceramic bonded to the front of teeth. They address damaged and discolored teeth. Because veneers are color-matched to natural teeth, they blend in with patients’ smiles.
Dental Bonding: A more cost-effective alternative to veneers, tooth bonding uses resin bonded to the tooth enamel. Dental bonding also addresses chips, cracks, fractures, and staining.
General Dentistry
General dentistry solutions encompass treatments for dental trauma and dental anxiety and care for the whole family.
Custom Mouthguard: Compared to store-bought mouthguards, our professional mouthguards fit precisely. Sports mouthguards protect teeth from injury and restorations from damage.
Emergency Dentistry: We can schedule an emergency appointment soon if you have dental trauma or a broken restoration. We also treat toothaches, knocked-out teeth, and bleeding gums.
Family Dentistry: Dr. Duling and her team help educate parents about how to care for their children’s teeth and provide age-appropriate dental care for patients of all ages.
Sedation Dentistry: Oral-conscious sedation and nitrous oxide can be used during dental procedures or routine care for patients with dental fear or anxiety.
Tooth Extraction: If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, infected teeth, or broken teeth, they may require extraction. We can help patients with sturdy dental implants if they need a restoration.
Restorative Dentistry
Dental restorations and restorative care help remove infections, replace missing teeth, and treat jaw and bite problems.
Dental Bridge: Patients with multiple missing teeth benefit from dental bridges, which are removable or fixed prosthetics. We can secure bridges with dental implants for a more stable restoration.
Crowns: Dr. Duling can provide same-day dental crowns for patients with CEREC, or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic, which uses CAD/CAM technology. Dental crowns fully cover damaged or weakened teeth. They can also cap off dental implants.
Dental Implants They’re one of the most versatile dental restorations. They can replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth. Dental implants consist of a titanium post, abutment, and crown. In addition, they can secure dentures or dental bridges.
Dentures and Partials: Do you have full arches of missing teeth? Dentures are the right restoration for you. Full or partial dentures replace consecutive missing teeth or full arches. Like dental bridges, dentures may be supported by dental implants.
Gum Disease Treatment: Periodontitis, or gum disease, is a bacterial infection that inflames the gums. Scaling and root planing can clean around and beneath the gums to combat symptoms of gum disease.
Sleep Apnea: Do you snore or wake up frequently during the night? Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be the cause. It blocks the airway and is especially dangerous for patients with heart problems. Dr. Duling can treat mild sleep apnea with oral appliances.
TMJ Treatment: Damage to the temporomandibular joint often leads to jaw and facial pain. Oral appliances and even Botox can stop TMD pain and prevent tooth wear.
