Comprehensive
Care
Twice-daily brushings and regular flossing are excellent for
maintenance between office visits, but a healthy mouth requires
routine general and preventative care to stay that way. Dr,
Wolf offers comprehensive care that includes regular oral
examinations, cleanings, fluoride, professional breath control,
and periodontal (gum disease) treatments designed to help
keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free. Contact
our office today to schedule a cleaning or consultation.
Family
Dentistry
Kids want to be comfortable, entertained and respected. Adults
want the best technology, the most informed doctors, and the
highest quality care. Here, we understand that kids and adults
have different needs and priorities, and we address them all.
That's why Dr. Wolf has extensive experience working with
children—we can make their dental experience more enjoyable
for everyone. Please contact
us today for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Gum
Disease Care & Prevention
Unfortunately, periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more
than just an unsightly smile—it can cause loss of teeth
and eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems.
Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease
is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that
attack your mouth’s soft tissues. Early warning signs
of the disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught
early, we can help you reverse the damage or, if detected
late, we can use one of many effective cosmetic and restorative
dentistry procedures to achieve a healthy, beautiful condition.

Endodontics
/ Root Canals
Each of our teeth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp—which
provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves—that extends
down to the tooth’s root. If the pulp becomes infected
or injured, the tooth’s nerves die and, often, without
endodontic treatment, the tooth dies as well. Root canals
are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure
(performed under anesthesia), a gap is drilled into the tooth’s
crown and pulp chamber, diseased pulp is reshaped or removed,
and the tooth is permanently sealed with a gold, porcelain,
or tooth-colored crown. To
learn more about root canals, please contact us today.
Oral
surgery
Dr. Wolf is extensively trained in a full range of oral surgery
procedures, including dental implants, bridgework, tooth extraction,
and sealing and root planing, designed to help patients obtain
optimal oral health. To find
out which procedure will be the best fit for you, please contact
our practice today.
Tooth
Extraction
In only the most extreme and necessary cases—such as
when a tooth's roots are severely damaged beyond repair—we
may extract the tooth in preparation for a restorative dentistry
procedure, such as dentures. Wisdom teeth may be too crowded
in the jaw, causing problems - but we can help determine if
they need to be removed. If
you have any questions about tooth extraction, please contact
us today.
Sealants
Children’s teeth—especially back teeth—are
susceptible to decay and cavities despite regular brushing
and flossing. To protect your children’s teeth, consider
sealants. These durable, clear products are painted over the
teeth, adding strength and creating reinforcement. Sealants
can significantly reduce decay! To
learn more about sealants, please contact us today.
Fluoride
Treatment
Experts concluded long ago that the mineral fluoride is quite
effective in protecting teeth enamel from decay. For that
reason, it is added to tap water and other products. But children—whose
teeth are vulnerable—need extra fluoride to keep their
enamel extra strong. Fluoride treatments are an excellent
solution. Fluoride treatments, administered in trays or brushed
onto the teeth, are quick and painless and are given immediately
following professional cleanings.
