You Deserve Only the Best Solutions for Dental Care
Although Gabriel Malouf, DDS can treat and attend to a vast majority of dental cases, here are a few insights into some of the more common dental care solutions we provide:
Find Cavities Sooner and Easier
For years the best way to find certain cavities has been to look for dark spots and feel for stickiness; this often leaves questions or fails to find cavities early (while they are still small). Now we find these earlier with a “Laser Cavity Detector;” for you this means smaller fillings and a healthier mouth.
Digital X-rays are Safer and Quicker
Our office uses completely Digital X-rays. Which means we’ve cut your exposure to radiation by about 75% even before you notice how easy the pictures are to see on the computer screen. Some of these give off so little radiation the State doesn’t require the lead shield which we use anyway for your peace of mind.
Healthier Gums with our Perio Program
Gums and bone form the foundation for your teeth—healthy gums lower your risk for many conditions including heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer. Our goal is to keep your gums firm, pink, and healthy through your lifetime—avoiding gum disease (the number one cause of tooth loss in adults). To do this, we create a custom Gum Health Program for each of our patients to maintain optimum gum health.
Flouride Treatments for Fewer Cavities
Traditionally fluoride treatments stop after your teen years, but at our office they keep going as long as you have your teeth. Optional Fluoride Treatment for everyone (including adults) offers the same benefits it does to kids, protecting your crowns, fillings, and any areas with recession against decay.
See Your Teeth Up Close
Gone are the days of just taking our word for your dental needs! We want you to see what’s going on. With our Intra-Oral Camera, your teeth hit the big screen and you see what we see when looking up close at your teeth.
Hidden Fillings
Under normal wear, teeth may decay or become chipped. Many times teeth can be repaired with a “filling.” Before filling them, Dr. Malouf cleans and desensitizes all teeth with the latest techniques and materials. Our White Fillings camouflage into your teeth, and are metal-free. Better still, the new materials we use stick to teeth and can actually make them stronger.
Night Guards stop Teeth Grinding
Most people grind their teeth at night (some very little, some more than that); this can cause headaches, pain, and tooth wear. Night Guards can reduce pain, protect your teeth and help you grind less. Ask us if a night guard might be right for you to create much longer lasting teeth!
Stronger Repaired Teeth
When a tooth is badly chipped or broken, Dr. Malouf may apply a crown—like a helmet for your tooth. In this case an impression is made of the original tooth, before shaping your tooth to best fit the new crown, and taking a final impression. Dr. Malouf will use both impressions to create a crown or “artificial tooth” that will fit over your real tooth. When finished, it looks and works like the original tooth. Fitting a crown requires two dental appointments. All our crowns are custom-made locally with the best materials on the market.
Benefits of Electric Toothbrushes
Today’s Electric Toothbrushes can make a big difference: from protecting your teeth through super daily cleaning, to reducing damage by brushing “just right.” Ask us if an electric toothbrush is right for you!
