General and Preventive Care for Denton and Nearby Communities
At Norman J. Pomerance D.D.S., we offer comprehensive general and preventive care. For optimum oral health, we recommend visiting our dental office at least twice a year for routine checkups and exams. At every appointment you’ll be treated to personalized service from a kind, compassionate team. We truly care about you and your family and will always provide you with exceptional service that exceeds your expectations.
Our general and preventive services include:
Checkups and Cleanings
No matter how great your brushing and flossing routine is, you should still see a hygienist at least twice a year for professional cleanings. With our advanced tools, we can help you clean parts of your smile that are hard to reach with a regular toothbrush. Dr. Pomerance will also complete a full oral health exam when you come in. We want to diagnose and treat all dental problems as early as possible.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is an important mineral that strengthens and protects teeth. That’s why you’ll find it in most toothpaste brands and in your tap water. For patients who are more vulnerable to decay than others, Dr. Pomerance may recommend a preventive fluoride treatment. With a fluoride treatment your smile will enjoy extra protection from decay in between appointments.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants shield the chewing surfaces of teeth from decay-causing bacteria, providing them with extra protection for up to 10 years. Sealants are applied in a liquid form and then are hardened into a thin, plastic barrier. Treatment only takes a few minutes to complete and is recommended for young patients who are just learning to brush.
Children’s Dentistry
Young patients need just as much help nurturing a healthy smile as adults do. That’s why our Denton office is happy to treat young children. With routine care and our commitment to patient education, we can help your little one learn the importance of regular checkups and daily brushing and flossing.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Dr. Pomerance offers oral cancer screenings to patients 18 years old and older. This deadly disease claims approximately one life every hour, so the sooner it can be diagnosed and treated the better. Our dental office uses advanced technology to expose cancer before it can be diagnosed with a visual exam alone.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health problems. In fact, studies have shown that a majority of US adults struggle with some form of. What’s more, it’s been shown to increase a patient’s risk of developing heart disease, Alzheimer’s, stroke, diabetes, or pre-term birth. Our office uses a soft tissue laser to provide comfortable, efficient periodontal therapy that’s far less invasive than treatment with traditional scaling and root planing..
TMJ Treatment
The two most common causes of TMJ dysfunction are misaligned teeth and teeth grinding. Patients who struggle with this condition may experience symptoms like frequent headaches or severe neck, back, and shoulder pain. Dr. Pomerance can help you treat your symptoms with a special custom-made oral appliance that corrects your misaligned bite or prevents your teeth from grinding together.
Athletic Mouthguards
All athletes can benefit from wearing a custom-made mouthguard, even athletes who don’t play a contact sport. Your mouthguard will protect your entire smile as you play and may even limit the severity of concussion. It’s possible to find basic mouthguards in your local sporting goods store, but a custom-made mouthguard from Dr. Pomerance offers greater protection.
Oral Surgery (including wisdom teeth, extractions, and bone grafts)
Are you looking for a practice where you can get your wisdom teeth removed or have one or more teeth extracted? Do you need a bone graft in preparation for implant surgery? In all of these cases you can find the help you need at Norman J. Pomerance D.D.S. in Denton.
