A healthy body begins with a healthy mouth

A good dental care routine is really important to maintain a healthy mouth, including your gums and teeth.

It is important to brush your teeth at least twice daily to help remove plaque and food particles that get stuck to your teeth. It is recommended that you brush your teeth for two minutes (or longer), though most people rush through this time. You need to make sure that you reach every side of each tooth, including the inside and outside. To help keep your breath fresh, you should also brush your tongue. And let's not forget about everyone's favorite...flossing!

Preventative dental care is more than just brushing your teeth and flossing, though. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is equally important as this will also heavily influence your oral health. For more insights, see our Top 10 Tips for a healthy, vibrant smile.

Preventative Care

To help our patients, we are proud to offer a variety of different types of dental restorations depending on your specific needs. We are here to help patients who suffer from broken and missing teeth.

Our most common procedure is a filling. We can fill in any decay, plus we also fill in any teeth that are broken so that they continue to look natural. With missing teeth, we have more options. Bridges can be used to bridge the gap between your teeth. These bridges get cemented in, usually to your other teeth.

Dentures are also possible, partial or full, depending on how many teeth you are actually missing. More and more dentists are starting to recommend implants because, with the right care, they should last you for the rest of your life. Implants are placed in your jawbone and act just like your natural tooth roots.

A beautiful smile is one of the most sought after features in cosmetic medicine. People from all backgrounds and professions want a white, straight smile, and we can help make it a reality.

Whether through minor adjustments or major changes, cosmetic dentistry aims to help people feel good about the way their teeth look. There are many procedures that can improve your teeth and correct issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or irregularities. In addition to cosmetic improvements, these procedures can help solve other oral problems as well.

These procedures vary in cost, complexity, and results. The condition of your teeth is a major factor in finding a treatment. We are here to discuss all the options with you to find the best solution for your unique situation.

Getting a good night’s rest is just as important as a healthy diet and exercise for your health. Here at Summit Dental we want to take care of use as a whole person, not just your mouth.

Poor quality sleep can leave you feeling exhausted even when you technically "get enough" sleep. Issues such as sleep apnea, breathing through your mouth and snoring may be contributing factors.

We offer screenings for sleep disordered breathing and can help you find the right options for you to ensure you get the rest your body needs.

Sleep & Breathing

For many people suffering from pain and discomfort in the joints of the jaw (TMJ), simple acts such as chewing or talking can be difficult. This pain can be mild and intermittent, or intense and radiating. Clicking, popping and grinding in the joint(s) can also be present. People who deal with TMJ pain very often suffer from ear pain, migraines, or awake in the morning with headaches. They may also clench or grind their teeth at night or during the day.

Very commonly the root cause of joint pain is an imbalance in your bite – the way your teeth come together.

We offer a wide a range of treatments for TMJ pain. With advanced diagnostic imaging and a thorough exam, Dr. Williams will carefully design a treatment plan that will best address your TMJ discomfort.
