Dental Implants

Dental implants give dentists many new ways to treat and replace lost teeth. They are made from artificial titanium roots and topped with a porcelain crown that looks and feels like a real tooth.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are one of the most effective methods of preventing decay on the surfaces where they are placed. Made from thin layers of resin that are positioned on the pits, fissures, and grooves of teeth, sealants significantly reduce the overall chance of cavities.

Dental Crowns

A crown (cap) is a restoration placed on teeth that have lost a lot of their structure. Dental crowns are typically made out of metal, plastic, ceramic, or porcelain, and are designed to restore a damaged tooth’s shape, size, and strength by encasing the tooth.

Inlays & Onlays

Inlays & onlays are lab-made restorations that are placed on teeth when the cavity or lost tooth structure is too large to be restored by a simple filling. They can replace most of the back teeth fillings and are more conservative in nature when compared to crowns.

Root Canals

Root canal treatments are performed with advanced techniques and material, making them more comfortable and faster for the patient. When a tooth’s tissue becomes infected, the restorative dentistry procedure can save your smile.

Teeth Whitening

The two main methods of professional whitening are tray whitening and in-office whitening. We can brighten your smile without changing or damaging the structure of your teeth.

TMJ Treatments

TMJ is the joint that connects the lower and upper jaw (skull). If you experience any TMJ symptoms, such as pain, muscle spasms, or locking of the jaw, contact Baxter Dental Group. We will provide the best solution for your needs.

Veneers & Treatments

Veneers can improve the shape of your teeth, make your teeth as white as you want, and give you the smile you have always desired. Made from a thin shell of porcelain or composite resin that’s cemented onto the tooth’s surface, veneers look just like natural teeth.

Tooth Bonding

Tooth bonding can fix discolored, cracked teeth, leaving behind a flawless, smooth tooth you will want to showcase. As a less expensive option compared to veneers or crowns, tooth bonding is a great choice for those who wish to fix slight imperfections.

Dentures

Dentures replicate the look and feel of natural teeth and can restore your confidence in your smile. We offer both partial and complete dentures, depending on your needs.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are made of porcelain and fused to metal. They are either fixed between two crowns placed on healthy teeth or to dental implants, overall helping strengthen damaged teeth through a natural look and feel.

Dental Cleanings

Professional teeth cleanings can greatly reduce the risk of dangerous dental problems, such as tooth decay, infections, and gum disease. We will care for and thoroughly clean your teeth in a way that isn’t possible to achieve at home.

Tooth Extractions

Broken, damaged, and impacted teeth can cause both pain and discomfort. We can perform tooth extractions when the pain is too much to bear and the damage is too extensive. Doing so will prevent future damage from occurring.
