Direct Bonding - to close gaps between teeth.
Cerec 3D Restorations - one visit, all ceramic CAD/CAM crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers.
Veneers (porcelain or composite) - facings to change the color and shape of teeth.
Crowns - complete coverings to change the color and shape of teeth.
Replacement of silver-mercury amalgam restorations - with tooth-colored composite or porcelain restorations.
Lumineers - provide strength and beauty without while preserving your natural tooth structure.


Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry involves repairing the natural tooth that has been damaged or decayed . An assessment of the current condition of your mouth is the first step in regaining oral health. A complete examination of each part of your mouth -teeth, gums and soft tissues-is performed. After this initial diagnosis, treatment plan options are developed and discussed.
Restorative Procedures include:
Cerec 3D Restorations - one visit, all ceramic CAD/CAM inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers.
Fillings - to replace parts of decayed or damaged teeth. Fillings are made of tooth-colored composite materials, solid porcelain or gold.
Post and Core Build-up - a restoration utilized in a badly broken down, endodontically treated tooth to gain support for the subsequent crown.
Crown Build-Up - a restoration utilized in badly broken down teeth to act as a foundation for a subsequent crown.
Crowns - to completely cover that part of the tooth that can be seen in the mouth. Crowns are made of porcelain, gold, or porcelain fused to gold.
Stainless Steel Crown - a restoration utilized to restore badly broken down deciduous (baby) teeth or as an interim restoration in badly broken down permanent teeth

Prosthetic Dentistry

Prosthetic Dentistry encompasses the replacement of missing teeth. These replacement teeth can be fixed (i.e. permanently cemented to remaining natural teeth) or removable (i.e. can be taken from the mouth). Fixed replacement teeth offer a more natural feel.
Prosthetic Procedures include:
Fixed Partial Denture (Bridges) - can replace one or many missing teeth; this type of appliance requires a minimum of one solid anchor tooth on each side of the missing tooth space. The number of anchor teeth included depends on the length of the missing teeth space.
Removable Partial Denture - can replace one or many missing teeth; this type of appliance can be made entirely of acrylic or it can have a metal framework under the acrylic.
Complete Denture - replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch; this appliance is usually made entirely of acrylic.
Implant Supported Partial or Complete Denture - can replace several or all of the missing teeth; by using implants for support, these appliances are much more stable.

Implant Dentistry

Implant Dentistry involves the placement and restoration of dental implants to replace single or multiple missing teeth. A team approach is utilized to provide implant care. The Periodontist or Oral Surgeon surgically place the implants and we provide the restoration of the implant - crown, fixed bridge, partial denture or complete denture.

Periodontal Dentistry

Periodontal Therapy is the branch of dentistry that encompasses the care and treatment of the supporting structures of the teeth.This
includes the gingival (gum) tissues and the bone surrounding the teeth. A collaborative approach to providing periodontal care is utilized involving the patient, the dental hygienist, the dentist and a Periodontist (gum specialist) if indicated.
Periodontal Procedures include:
Scaling - therapy to remove plaque, stain, and calculus (tartar) from tooth surfaces that are below the gumline.
Root Planing - therapy to debride and smooth the root surfaces of teeth exposed by advancing periodontal diease.
Oral Hygiene Instruction - individualized instruction in the use of periodontal aides and medicaments to help in the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease.
Site-Specific Antibiotic Therapy - therapy to treat isolated periodontal infections at their source.
Corrective Periodontal Surgery - surgical correction of existing defects to facilitate easier maintenence of the peiodontal (gum) tissues. This procedure usually involves collaberation with the Periodontist.

Endodontic Therapy

Endodontic Therapy is the branch of dentistry that treats infections or injuries to the pulp (nerve) inside the teeth.
Endodontic procedures include:
Root Canal Therapy - the removal of the infected or injured pulp (nerve) from the inside of the tooth.
Pulpotomy - the removal of the pulp (nerve) in the coronal portion of the tooth; this procedure is normally performed on deciduous (baby) teeth.
Pulpectomy - the removal of the entire pulp (nerve) of a deciduous (baby) tooth.
Endodontic Surgery - these procedures are utilized in the treatment of more advanced infections and usually involve collaboration with an Endodontist.

Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery is the branch of dentistry that encompasses the removal of teeth, biopsy and removal of suspicious lesions, and the preparation of the mouth to receive prosthetic appliances or implants.
Oral Surgery Procedures include:
Tooth Extraction - the removal of the remaining tooth structure due to decay, trauma, or severe periodontal involvement.
Tori Removal - the removal of tori (benign overgrowths of bone) in preparation of the mouth for a dental prosthesis.
Soft tissue biopsy - obtaining a sample of a suspicious soft tissue (gum, cheek, tongue, etc.) lesion for microscopic analysis.
Hard tissue biopsy - obtaining a sample of a suspicious hard tissue (bone or tooth) lesion for microscopic analysis.

Alveoloplasty - the trimming of soft tissues and bone in preparation of the mouth for a dental prosthesis. It is only required in cases in which the dentist feels that the anatomy of the bone will interfere with the wearing of the dental prosthesis. Alveoloplasty can be performed at the time of tooth extraction or later on as a secondary procedure.
Advanced Oral Surgery Procedures - these procedures require collaboration with an Oral Surgeon and include impacted tooth removal, treatment of jaw fractures, orthognathic surgery, and sedation to list but a few.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry involves the use of a medication to relieve anxiety and relax the patient.
Sedation utilized by Southern Boulevard Dental Corporation:
Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation - also known as laughing gas, helps to reduce anxiety and provide a more comfortable dental experience. This form of sedation returns the patient to normal by the end of the appointment.
Pre-Medication Sedation - requires ingestion of an anti-anxiety, relaxation drug prior to the visit. This mandates that the patient has arranged transportation to and from the office for the appointment and may last 24-48 hours after the appointment.
