For Dr. James Butler and the team at Innovative Dental Ideas, helping our patients maintain a healthy mouth and smile is the main goal of general and preventive dentistry. We prefer to provide more minor, preventive care to treat potential oral health concerns early on, rather than providing more intensive treatments for a problem that wasn't caught in time.
At our dental office in Hilliard, OH, our treatments are designed to promote optimal oral health and each patient's best total-body health. We are here to brighten your smile and pave the way for a brighter life!
Our general dentistry services and preventive dental treatments in Hilliard, OH include:
Preventive Cleanings And Exams Hilliard, OH
Having a dental practice perform a checkup and regular cleaning gives a preventive approach to dental care. These general dentistry treatments help prevent problems with your teeth, gums and jaw bones, or they catch and manage problems before they worsen. During your visit, our doctors will take a picture of the current standing of your dental health and what would be needed to keep your oral hygiene in its best state.
Dental Fillings
At Innovative Dental Ideas, composite fillings act as a dentistry solution for problems such as tooth decay or cracks. A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. This procedure is also utilized for cosmetic improvements of the smile by fixing any discoloration or reshaping any disfigured teeth.
Dental Sealants
When we apply a dental sealant, we paint a plastic coating on top of your teeth. This makes your teeth smooth getting rid of the rough edges, depressions, and grooves that are commonly found on teeth. It is essentially a protective coating against tooth decay and cavities.
The most common place to paint sealants is on back teeth since they are often irregular. They can also be very hard to reach, even if you brush your teeth regularly. We use it more on children though we do perform sealants on adults too!
TMJ Treatment
At Innovative Dental Ideas, we are proud to offer temporomandibular joint dysfunction, otherwise known as TMJ, treatments to provide relief for our patients. TMJ is caused by an inflammation in the temporomandibular joint, which acts as a sliding hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull.
TMJ causes pain and discomfort along the jawbone and can make it painful to even move your jaw. While jaw pain and discomfort don’t always equate to TMJ, if you are also experiencing headaches, trouble chewing, or pain in the face, jaw, and ear, you’re more than likely experiencing TMJ.
