Restorative Dentistry

Crowns

Also called caps, crowns are natural-looking covers that fit snugly over teeth to conceal cracks and discoloration or chipped teeth. Crowns minimize physical discomfort and provide support to damaged teeth. Ultimately, crowns can improve the overall appearance of your smile while making your teeth more resistant to injury. For more information about crowns, please contact us today.

Bridges

Sometimes a bit more work is needed to give you the smile you want. If you are missing teeth, having trouble speaking or chewing, and noticing strain when biting, bridges may be the ideal procedure to help make your mouth healthy and beautiful again. Bridges sometimes referred to as "fixed partial dentures," literally bridge gaps between teeth by filling them with strong, natural-looking artificial teeth. Bridges can only be removed by a dentist since they are a permanent restoration. Bridges are comfortable, and have been proven to make teeth stronger. To find out if bridges are the right option for you, please contact us today.

Full Dentures

Dentures are an excellent option for people who have lost all their teeth. Precisely designed and molded to fit one's mouth, full dentures slide over the gums and are held in place with strong cheek and mouth muscles. They allow for comfortable chewing and keep the mouth and its surrounding facial features in proper alignment. To learn more about full dentures, please contact us today.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures fill spacing left by missing teeth. Usually made of resin or metal, partial dentures allow more comfortable and effective chewing, improve speech, and prevent sagging of the cheeks and lips. Partial dentures are held in place with metal clasps or precision devices (tooth-colored, discreet clasps) that are attached to natural teeth. To find out if partial dentures are right for you, please contact us today.

Dental Implants

Dental implants attach artificial teeth below the gumline using an anchor. The anchor holds the tooth implant in place, allowing excess bone and gum to grow around it. The end result is a strong, secure tooth that is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Because dental implants require surgery, they are intended only for candidates with sufficient bone and healthy gums. For more information on having treatment for dental implants in the Ohio area, please contact Dr. Beech in Mentor today!

Preventive Dentistry

Sealants

Sealants are a clear plastic material that is applied to the surface of decay-prone back teeth. Sealants act as a barrier against decay and plaque, keeping back teeth healthy and clean. For more information about sealants and whether they are right for you, please contact us.

Air Abrasion

Air abrasion is a way of removing tooth decay and an alternative to the dental drill. A fine stream of aluminum oxide particles is blown from a hand-piece onto the tooth, removing decay in preparation for cavity restoration. Air abrasion is virtually painless and significantly reduces or eliminates the need for painful injections of anesthetics. This procedure is especially recommended for children who fear needles. For more information about air abrasion, please contact us today.

If you are interested in our preventive dentistry procedures, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ronald Beech in Mentor, Ohio today. He will be more than happy to assist you in beautifying your smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear alternative to conventional braces. Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are made out of clear thin plastic that are invisible when worn. The doctor uses a series of aligners to move the teeth. Each set is worn approximately for 2 weeks. The aligners are removable for you can eat and drink normally. You can brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. There are no wires or metal brackets to cause discomfort.

To get started, please call our office for a consultation.

Orthodontics

Having straight teeth is important for both health and appearance. Our Ohio orthodontics procedures can help remedy those who do not have straight teeth. Not only do we have traditional metal braces, but we also offer newer, subtler varieties. One orthodontic option is clear ceramic brackets, which straighten teeth without calling attention to the fact that you have braces. The aesthetic aspect is important, because having a smile you love can affect your happiness and self-esteem, whether you are an adult, a teenager, or a child. It is important for potential orthodontics patients to schedule a consultation with our dentist in Mentor, Ohio. Potential patients seeking orthodontics are also welcomed from nearby areas including, but not limited to Cleveland and Akron, Ohio.

TMD Therapy

Thousands of Americans suffer from myofacial pain, commonly known as TMD. TMD therapy seeks to remedy the disorder by restoring balance between the teeth, muscles, and joints. We offer a variety of surgical and non-surgical options, depending on your individual needs. TMD therapy may involve a special splint called a neuromuscular orthotic, which is often used to recreate balance, or later on, a semi-permanent splint, comprehensive orthodontics (including braces), or tooth restoration.

Periodontics

Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile-it can cause loss of teeth and eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth's soft tissues. Early warning signs of this disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage caused by this disease. If detected late, we can use one of many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. Let our qualified hygienists help you keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free with regular examinations and cleanings. Please contact our office today to schedule an appointment.

Root Canals

Each tooth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp-which provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves-that extends down to the tooth's root. If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth's nerves die and often, without endodontic treatment, the tooth also dies. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (performed under anesthesia), we access the nerve by drilling a hole into the tooth's crown and pulp chamber, where diseased pulp is reshaped or removed, and the tooth is permanently sealed with a porcelain crown. To learn more about root canals, please contact us today.
