Services
Exam and Clean
Regular check-ups and hygiene maintenance are essential for optimal oral health. At Frank Dental, we recommend biannual visits for comprehensive examinations and professional cleaning. Dr. Frank Hartley conducts a full oral assessment, creates personalized treatment plans, and provides hygiene tips. Using ultrasonic and hand scalers, we remove plaque and tartar buildup, followed by polishing and fluoride treatment to strengthen teeth and prevent decay.
Fillings
Fillings restore teeth affected by decay, chips, or wear. We use composite resin or glass ionomer cement to rebuild structural integrity while maintaining aesthetics. The process involves removing decay with specialized tools, applying a base, and shaping the material to match natural contours. Patients are advised to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular check-ups to ensure fillings remain effective and durable over time.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges address severely damaged or missing teeth. Crowns, made from porcelain, zirconia, or metal alloys, restore strength to weakened teeth. Bridges replace gaps using adjacent crowns to support artificial teeth. These solutions prevent misalignment, uneven wear, and discomfort while restoring function and aesthetics. Custom fabrication ensures a natural fit and appearance.
Veneers
Veneers correct stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth for aesthetic improvement. Direct composite veneers are applied in one visit, while indirect porcelain veneers require two appointments for lab-fabricated results. Both options enhance smiles with durable, stain-resistant materials. Temporary veneers are provided between visits to maintain appearance during treatment.
Dental Implants
Implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, mimicking natural tooth structure. The process involves inserting a titanium screw into the jawbone, allowing osseointegration over several months. An abutment and custom crown are then attached, providing stability and aesthetics. Implants prevent bone loss and adjacent teeth shifting, ensuring long-term oral health and functionality.
