Services

Parkview Dentistry offers services for the whole family. The Family Dentistry practice offers preventative, educational, and early detection programs to make sure teeth stay healthy. Our youngest patients learn about healthy food choices, how to brush and floss their teeth properly, and how to use the protection of flouride to keep their teeth healthy. At this time, the importance of semi-annual teeth cleaning is also emphasized, as it is one of the best weapons against tooth decay and gum disease. As they grow into adolescence, they may need orthodontic care, and we can coordinate their other dental needs with their chosen orthodontist. Any cavities that develop during these developmental years will be detected early and treated so that the tooth can remain healthy rather than being vulnerable to further deterioration that can lead to tooth aches and the possible need for a root canal, crowns or other more invasive (and expensive) treatment.
If a patient does need dental restoration services, Parkview Dentistry can provide for a full range of needs from fillings, to root canals, restoration crowns, bridges, and full and partial dentures. We provide mercury free, metal or non-metallic fillings which can blend so well with the natural teeth that they are indistinguishable in the more visible teeth. Sometimes teeth are weakened or more vulnerable due to pre-natal or genetic conditions. In this case, protecting the teeth with caps or crowns may be necessary. If a cavity has been ignored for too long, the entire tooth may be at risk, possibly making it necessary to consider a root canal or other endodonic treatment. Most of these treatments can be provided in our office, and only in some cases will it be necessary for us to refer you to a specialist in the type of care you might need. There are times when extraction of the tooth becomes necessary. This happens increasingly as a patient ages and teeth become worn and more fragile with time. Parkview Dentistry also offers bridges and partial dentures which replace teeth that have been lost. These appliances can attach to the remaining permanent teeth and appear to be natural teeth. Finally, in the case of severe damage to the teeth or gums, dentures may become the best solution. Dr. Willard and the Parkview dental team will be able to handle most restorative dental needs. We offer a free consultation to assess any dental problems you might have, discuss your options for treatment and give you an itemized treatment plan with the estimated costs for treatment.
Sometimes, you just need a little smile adjustment. Cosmetic Dentistry addresses issues that relate to the appearance of your teeth rather than the health of your teeth. We offer a wide range of cosmetic procedures including porcelain veneers, cosmetic crowns or caps, overlays, bonding, teeth whitening, and Invisalign removable teeth adjustment devices. Smile makeovers include a combination of these services tailored to your smile’s needs. Full mouth restorations are a combination of restorative services and cosmetic procedures. A full mouth restoration can require multiple visits to address all of your dental needs.
Latest studies suggest that dental phobias may keep 25% of patients from getting the dental care they need in a timely manner. As a result, a simple cavity can erupt into a much larger, and potentially more painful and expensive problem. In response to our more apprehensive patients, we offer sedative dental options. This means that you have the option for various means to relax you for your dental visits. We do offer nitrous oxide, the “laughing gas” as one possibility, but we have other options that may work for you. Dr. Willard will listen to your concerns and discuss your sedative options with you. Often, once a patient has experienced the gentle dental care we offer, their dental anxiety is reduced or eliminated. Many patients regard a visit to our offices as an opportunity to visit with old friends. This is one of the advantages to being a valued patient at Parkview Dentistry.
