List of Services
-
Cavities and Dental DecayList Item 1
Cavities are areas of the tooth where decay has worn through the enamel, often caused by plaque buildup and frequent sugar exposure. Left untreated, decay can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. At Powell Valley Dental, we identify cavities early using advanced digital x-rays and treat them with natural-looking, tooth-colored fillings to restore strength and prevent further damage—often before you even feel discomfort.
-
Cracked and Chipped Teeth
Chipped or cracked teeth can result from accidents, teeth grinding, or biting hard objects, and they often expose the inner layers of the tooth, causing pain or sensitivity. Our team carefully assesses the extent of the damage and provides solutions like dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or crowns to restore both appearance and function. Timely treatment helps prevent deeper fractures and future complications.
-
Failing, Missing, or Knocked Out Teeth
Whether a tooth is severely damaged, lost to decay, or knocked out in an accident, it can impact your confidence and oral health. Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, shifting of neighboring teeth, and bite problems. At Powell Valley Dental, we offer modern solutions like dental implants, bridges, and dentures to fully restore your smile’s look, feel, and function with long-lasting results.
-
Toothaches and Sensitive Teeth
Toothaches and sensitivity often signal underlying issues like decay, worn enamel, cracked teeth, or infections. These symptoms can range from mild discomfort to intense pain and should never be ignored. Our team uses gentle diagnostics and high-resolution imaging to find the source of your discomfort, offering treatments like fillings, root canals, or desensitizing therapies to relieve pain and protect your teeth.
-
Stained and Discolored Teeth
Stains and discoloration can develop over time due to coffee, tea, tobacco use, aging, or certain medications. If brushing and over-the-counter products aren’t enough, Powell Valley Dental offers professional teeth whitening and cosmetic options like veneers or bonding to brighten your smile safely and effectively often in just one visit, so you can feel confident and refreshed.
-
Dental Anxiety
Fear of the dentist is more common than you might think and can prevent people from getting the care they need. At Powell Valley Dental, we take your comfort seriously by offering a warm, judgment-free environment, open communication, and calming amenities. For patients with moderate to severe anxiety, we also provide sedation options to help you feel relaxed and in control during your visit.
-
Bad Breath
Persistent bad breath, or halitosis, is often caused by bacteria in the mouth, gum disease, dry mouth, or dietary factors. Regular brushing may not always resolve it if the root cause is deeper. Our team performs a thorough evaluation to identify the source and provides targeted treatments such as professional cleanings, gum therapy, or lifestyle guidance to freshen your breath and improve your overall oral health.
-
Clenching, Grinding, and Jaw Pain
Chronic teeth grinding or jaw clenching especially during sleep can lead to headaches, TMJ disorders, worn enamel, and cracked teeth. If you’re waking up with jaw tension or noticing damage to your teeth, we can help. At Powell Valley Dental, we offer custom nightguards and therapeutic solutions to reduce stress on your jaw and protect your teeth for long-term comfort and relief.
-
Sleeping Issues
Oral health and quality sleep are more connected than many realize. If you struggle with snoring, dry mouth, or daytime fatigue, it could be a sign of airway obstruction or sleep-disordered breathing. We offer custom oral appliances that support your airway at night—providing a comfortable, non-CPAP solution for mild to moderate sleep apnea and helping you wake up well-rested.
-
Gum Disease
Gum disease begins with gingivitis red, swollen gums that bleed easily and can progress to periodontitis, a serious infection that threatens the bone supporting your teeth. At Powell Valley Dental, we catch gum disease early and offer deep cleanings, laser therapy, and maintenance plans to stop progression and preserve your smile’s foundation. Healthy gums are essential to whole-body health.
-
Misaligned Teeth
Crooked or crowded teeth not only affect how your smile looks, but also how well you can clean your teeth and how your bite functions. Misalignment can cause uneven wear, jaw strain, and even headaches. We use precise digital scanning and @Invisalign clear aligners to gently move teeth into proper position improving appearance, comfort, and long-term oral health without metal braces.
