EXAMS AND CLEANINGS
The health of your teeth and mouth is very important to the well-being of your entire body, and while routine brushing and flossing at home is necessary to keep your smile looking its best, Selah Family Dentistry’s comprehensive exam and cleaning is essential. The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist every six months to ensure your teeth stay healthy and your smile stays beautiful.
Your hygienist will carefully clean, floss, use a polishing compound and apply fluoride to your teeth. Cleanings usually aren’t painful, but if you have any anxiety about your dental exam, be sure to let your hygienist know. During your exam, we will thoroughly examine your teeth and if there is a need, take X-rays to see what is happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums.

DENTURES
Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth that are removable. There are two types of dentures — full and partial.
Consider your replacement teeth to be the same as natural teeth. They require the same daily brushing and flossing, and the same amount of regular checkups. Just like your natural teeth, the better you take care of your replacements, the longer they will last.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Conventional full dentures are placed after the gum tissue has healed and can sometimes be seated at date of natural tooth removal.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are attached to a gum-colored nylon or metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are considered a removable alternative to fixed bridges.

COSMETIC
Cosmetic Dentistry is a term which can be applied to any service aimed at creating a positive change for your teeth, your smile, and/or your overall oral health. Although for many, the term “cosmetic dentistry” brings to mind specific procedures such as tooth whitening or veneers — the talented team at Selah Family Dentistry strives to provide much more. We help improve our patient’s confidence and oral health by not only improving appearances and smiles — but also by restoring chewing and speaking functionality. We work with our patients to understand their individual goals, improve their self confidence, and help them feel hopeful about their dental future. Selah Family Dentistry offers a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services to our patients. The appearance of your smile and the health of your teeth are important to us.

Veneers
You no longer need to hide your smile because of gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth. With veneers, you can easily correct your teeth’s imperfections to help you have a more confident, beautiful smile. Veneers are natural in appearance and are a perfect option for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front of your teeth. With CEREC technology, many times this treatment can be started and finished in only a few hours! When your veneers are placed, you’ll be pleased to see that they look attractive and natural.
