Dental Procedures Provided at Hummelgard Dentistry

Dr. Hummelgard has invested the time, resources, and energy into advanced training and education in order to offer a wide range of services to our valued patients. Some of the services that we provide are:

• Dental Bridge: A dental bridge is a custom-made appliance designed to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Crafted from high-quality materials, this restoration not only restores your smile’s aesthetics but also helps maintain proper dental alignment and function.
• Dental Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings are the cornerstone of preventive oral care. Our skilled dental hygienists use advanced tools to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. This essential service not only keeps your smile sparkling but also plays a crucial role in preventing gum disease and maintaining optimal oral health.
• Dental Crowns: Dental crowns, or “caps,” are customized coverings placed over damaged or weakened teeth. These crowns provide strength, protection, and aesthetic enhancement, ensuring your smile remains both functional and beautiful.
• Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are a preventive measure designed to protect your molars and premolars from decay. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth, creating a barrier against bacteria and acids that can lead to cavities. 
• Digital Impressions: Embracing cutting-edge technology, our dental practice utilizes digital impressions for a more comfortable and efficient experience. Say goodbye to messy traditional impressions — digital impressions provide highly accurate 3D images of your teeth, improving the precision of our treatment planning.
• Enamel Shaping: Enamel shaping, also known as contouring, involves the gentle removal or reshaping of enamel to enhance the appearance of teeth. This minimally invasive procedure is an excellent option for addressing minor imperfections and creating a more harmonious smile.
• Fillings: Our dental fillings are a reliable solution for treating cavities and restoring teeth damaged by decay. We offer both traditional amalgam fillings and modern tooth-colored fillings, ensuring durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
• Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride treatments are a valuable preventive measure to strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Our professional fluoride applications provide an extra layer of protection, particularly for individuals prone to cavities.
• Mercury Safe and Mercury Free: Committed to your well-being, our practice is both mercury safe and mercury-free. We follow strict protocols to minimize any potential exposure to mercury during dental procedures, providing you with a safe and health-focused environment.
• Occlusal Disease Treatment: Occlusal disease, commonly known as bite disorders, can lead to various dental issues. Our comprehensive occlusal disease treatment addresses imbalances in your bite, promoting proper alignment and preventing potential complications such as jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear.
• Tooth-Colored Fillings: For a seamless and natural-looking restoration, we offer tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin materials. These fillings not only effectively treat cavities but also blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, ensuring a discreet and aesthetically pleasing result.
