Root Canal Therapy
Restore your smile’s health with root canal therapy in Hagerstown, MD, a remarkable treatment that saves and preserves problem teeth. Root canals are the tiny passageways within your tooth that can become infected, causing pain, sensitivity, and potential abscess formation.
Infections can stem from various factors, including cavities, tooth trauma, or decay. Our root canal therapy effectively halts the spread of infection and restores the tooth’s healthy portion, providing a high success rate and preventing the need for extraction.
In as little as one visit, our gentle dentists will remove the infected tissues, fill the tooth with protective material and medication, and seal it with a dental crown. If you require root canal treatment, our dedicated team will ensure your comfort and provide comprehensive information on all your treatment options. Trust us to deliver exceptional care and preserve your natural smile’s vitality.
Tooth Extractions
Rest assured, at Potomac Dental Centre, we prioritize preserving your natural teeth and strive to avoid extractions whenever possible. Trust that we will only recommend a tooth extraction if it is truly necessary for restoring and maintaining your oral health.
Our dentists may suggest extraction if:
- An infection has extensively damaged the tooth and supporting bone structure.
- Insufficient space exists for proper teeth alignment in the mouth.
- Severe damage or decay impedes effective restoration.
Rest easy knowing that our caring dental team will ensure a painless and comfortable extraction experience. We will guide you in post-extraction care, and we are delighted to discuss tooth replacement options, such as dental bridges or mini dental implants, both before and after the procedure.
If you’re experiencing any dental discomfort, reach out to our office in Hagerstown, MD today to explore our treatments and schedule your visit with our dentist. Your oral health is our top priority, and we are dedicated to enhancing it.
Dentures
Regain your smile’s function, beauty, and vitality with dentures in Hagerstown, MD: versatile removable oral appliances that replace multiple missing teeth. Whether you’re missing all or some of your teeth, dentures offer a solution.
There are three main types:
- Full dentures (complete dentures) replace all-natural teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw.
- Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth when some natural teeth remain.
- Implant-supported dentures that are a fixed appliance so you can eat and talk more comfortably than with a traditional denture.
Our dedicated team can create a treatment plan, tailored to meet your unique dental needs. Each denture is custom-made, ensuring a perfect fit for your smile. Dentures not only enhance your appearance but also restore lost facial volume, and improve eating, speaking, and chewing abilities. Crafted from materials that replicate natural teeth and gums, our dentures provide a natural and beautiful smile. Count on us to ensure your implant-supported, full, or partial dentures fit securely, comfortably, and aesthetically, empowering you to radiate confidence through your smile.
Night Guards
Waking up with jaw pain is no way to start your day. Our dentists may recommend a nightguard to alleviate symptoms of bruxism, such as tooth wear, jaw pain, or migraines. A custom-made nightguard fits your smile perfectly, providing a cushion that protects your teeth and jaws, preventing further damage.
If we suspect you have bruxism, we may suggest a nightguard to safeguard your teeth while you sleep. Many people are unaware they grind their teeth since it happens during sleep. Signs of nighttime teeth grinding include:
- Jaw Pain
- Morning Soreness in the Jaw
- Tension Headaches
- Worn Teeth
- Tooth Sensitivity
- Tongue Indentations
If you notice these signs, a custom nightguard could be beneficial. Don’t hesitate to ask about our nightguard options. We’re here to assist you.
