SERVICES

New patients can receive a comprehensive exam and cleaning (prophy). Digital X-Rays. Comprehensive evaluation by the doctor. Findings and treatment recommendations discussed.

Below the gum cleaning to remove hardened calcium build up or calculus (tartar). More extensive than a regular cleaning.

On-site Morita X800 CT Scan. Various resolutions and Fields of View available. Utilized in implant, diagnostic, and endodontic work. Cancer and infection screening.

Worn only when sleeping, protects the teeth and prevents clenching. Separates the jaw joints for TMJ relief.

Seals the small grooves of teeth with a resin sealant. Prevents food impaction and reduces cavities from developing. They may need to be replaced every few years depending on wear.

Full coverage on a tooth. Same-day crowns, lab made crowns, 3D printed temporary crowns. CEREC eMax, CEREC Zirconia.

Partial coverage on a tooth. Made the same-day with the CEREC milling machine and our in-office porcelain lab.

Small repairs are made with resin composite fillings for cavities, cracks, or defects.

When a tooth is missing, the teeth adjacent can support a 3-unit bridge. The three teeth are connected together and flossing is not possible. Not ideal but better than no teeth. A dental implant is the best option to replace a missing tooth.

Root canal treatment to clean out the tooth's root system. Necessary when a tooth's nerve system has been compromised. Allows the patient to continue using the tooth. Has limited lifespan and becomes brittle and more prone to fracture over time. Implant is the next best option when a root canal tooth is no longer saveable.

Fiber post reinforcement for root canal treated teeth and core buildup to rebuild internal structure of tooth. Immediate dentin sealing.

Routine extractions to remove unsaveable teeth. Also performed sometimes in orthodontic or Invisalign planning.

Allograft or Xenograft placed in the socket after extraction. This is called ridge preservation. See implant section for more information on replacing the tooth with a dental implant.

Replaces a missing tooth by installing a post in the jaw. The implant takes several months to heal before the final abutment and crown can be installed. See implant section for more information.

Gum tissue removal or gingivectomy used to make a veneer or crown larger. Removing excess gum tissue healing process is very minimal, with mild soreness for a few days. Mild pain meds may be needed with most patients reporting not needing them more than a day or two.

After taking photos and a digital copy of your teeth, a plan review appointment will show how many months of treatment are expected, the number of aligners, attachment locations, IPR locations (if needed), and elastics. A simulation will show how your teeth are now and how they are planned to look after Invisalign treatment has been completed.

Clear aligners to correct misaligned teeth. Time frame ranges from 3 months to several years.

Durable clear retainer that comes with a travel case. Total of 8 retainers (4 upper, 4 lower). Keeps your teeth in their current position, important after completing Invisalign, veneer, or implant treatment. Also acts to protect the teeth during sleeping.

Worn down teeth can be restored to their original shape and size with crowns.

Draft prototype worn during the time the lab is making the porcelain or zirconia restorations.

Implant-supported bridge that restores all lost teeth in a person's jaw or mouth. With modern technology, these can look just like regular teeth or even like veneers.

IV Sedation for extremely nervous patients. A dental anesthesiologist administers and monitors the sedation. Dual operator model means Dr. Heldt will be focused on your procedure and the anesthesiologist will manage the IV sedation, the safest way to have receive IV sedation. Additional fees apply.

Anxiolytic gas used during the procedure to reduce anxiety. Very safe and effective. Additional fees apply.

Available if you prefer or are coming out of town. See the virtual consult section in the menu bar.

Feldspathic, Layered eMax, Layered Zirconia, Monolithic. Single teeth to full mouth complete smile makeover.

Replace veneers that you're not happy with. Replace also if they're chipped, broken, or have a cavity developing.

Full coverage on a tooth vs. a veneer is only on the front of the tooth. Can look the same as a veneer.

Protoype design to develop the shape of your new veneers, crowns, or implant project. The waxup is transferred to your teeth in the form of temporary.

Composite fillings with various shades and translucencies available.

Temporary veneers are made in resin. Helps the doctor and patient fine tune the shape and shade. The final prototype is sent to the lab to make the final restorations in porcelain.

Temporary teeth are 3D printed in resin. Helps the doctor and patient fine tune the shape and shade. The final prototype is sent to the lab to make the final restorations in porcelain.

In-office, take home kits, bleaching gels w/Invisalign aligners or retainers

Straightening teeth in the right positions can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. Clear aligners can correct misaligned teeth. Time frame ranges from 3 months to several years. Patients can using bleaching gel to whiten during the the Invisalign treatment.

If you're missing a tooth or teeth, or about to lose them, then the best option is to have it replaced with a dental implant. If planned and performed properly, it can look just like your other teeth. See implant section for more information.

On-site Morita X800 CT Scan. Various resolutions and Fields of View available. Dr. Heldt can plan out your implants at the consultation to see what kind of implant treatment is possible for you. A CT Scan is about the same amount of radiation of getting a full set of X-Rays. You can safely get several of these in a year since our machine uses CBCT, which is exponentially less radiation than a medical grade CT scan.

Requires a CT scan and digital copy of patient's teeth. Merges the information on DTX Implant Studio (implant software) to plan out the ideal positions of the implants. A surgical guide (drill guide) is 3D printed. This is custom-fitted to the other teeth. The implant is inserted through the guide to the same computer-planned positions ("Fully-Guided" Surgical guide). The most accurate and precise way to get a dental implant. The implant placement is planned prior to the surgery and built to spec: "Architectural Implant Placement".

Your implant is planned for maximum aesthetic results. This means all phases of the implant is planned and specified: surgical placement, abutment type, crown type, etc.

NobelActive, NobelParallel, NobelPearl

Allograft or Xenograft placed in the socket after extraction. This is called ridge preservation. See implant section for more information on replacing the tooth with a dental implant.

Adding bone to a narrow or deficient part of the jaw to provide enough bone for a dental implant to be placed.

Adding bone in the maxillary sinus to provide enough bone to support a dental implant.

Grafted from the patient's own palate or tuberosity. Adds thickness to gum tissue. It may alter the appearance of your gum tissue.

Removing or bone to make space for a prosthetic. Typically done for All-on-X procedures so the junction between the prosthetic and your gum tissue (transition line) is not visible when you smile. If not enough bone is reduced, this line can become unsightly. This is considered FP3 (tooth, bone, and gum tissue defect). In contrast, FP1 is a tooth only defect (no gum tissue reconstruction). Everyone's situation and goals are different and it may be more aesthetic and stable long-term to have FP3. Discussed in the implant consultation.

Screw-retained, cement-retained. Layered zirconia, layered eMax.

NobelProcera ASC Custom Zirconia abutment. TempSnap abutment for temporary crowns.

Temporary crown

Full-arch implant supported bridge. Monolithic or layered zirconia. Customized pink porcelain to match gum tissue is possible for FP3 reconstruction.

3D Printed temporary prosthetic, full-arch implant supported bridge. Working prototype developed with patient and doctor. Test drive new teeth before ordering the final. Shape and shade determination. Acceptable prototype will be blueprint for the lab to make the final bridge.
