LATHAM DENTAL PROS

With so many areas of expertise, we get tons of questions about what we do and how we do it.  So, below is some more information about of complete line of services, costs, pricing, and more.

What are your services?

Really, everything related to teeth.  We have quite a large team of experts, which allows us to do: dental hygiene appointments, basic teeth cleanings, deep cleaning (SRP), osseous surgery, tissue grafts, Invisalign, braces, porcelain & composite tooth fillings, teeth crowns & bridges, porcelain veneers, dentures, dental implants, emergency dental surgery, tooth extraction, full mouth reconstruction, cosmetic gum reshaping, digital x-rays, pediatric dentistry, mouth guards for sports and sleeping, oral cancer screenings, root canals, and sleep dentistry for the patients who prefer to be out cold for the procedures they need done.

Dental Cleaning & Checkup – The dental cleaning and checkup is a hygiene appointment. Our New York State licensed dental hygienists inspect your mouth and teeth to make sure your teeth, bones, and gums are healthy. These regular visits are important to ensure positive oral hygiene and to provide early detection for serious dental issues.  The sooner we catch potential problems, the less expensive it is for you.

Dental X-rays & Digital Radiography – We use digital radiography to take pictures of your teeth and make the inspection process easier.  Digital radiography has less radiation than film-based x-rays and it allows us to see how your teeth change over time so we can monitor them. Digital images are crucial to identifying tooth decay, oral diseases and conditions, and devising an effective treatment plan.

Family Dentist office / Pediatric Dentistry – Latham Dental Pros offers family dental services across the region to ensure our patients have optimal oral health starting at a young age. We have been able to serve many families with young children throughout the years and we love helping maintain a young smile.

Night Guards & Sports Mouth Guards – Protecting your mouth is essential to your oral health, so let us protect your teeth by creating a custom mouth guard for you. Whether you want to prevent teeth grinding at night or prevent tooth damage from sports injuries, mouth guards are an affordable option to safeguard your smile.

Oral Cancer Screenings – Oral cancer is far too common to ignore. Using the latest in advanced x-ray technology, our dental experts scan your teeth for signs of cancer during your normal checkup.  If we identify and catch it early, it’s much easier to treat.

Sleep Apnea & Appliances – Sleep apnea is a serious condition that ranges from an annoying snore to choking in the night. We can assist you with testing, home sleep studies, and fabrication of sleep apnea devices and mouth guards to keep your airway open and prevent snoring.  Not only will your spouse love the ability to sleep without the noise, but your sleep quality will improve because you won’t be waking up constantly to breathe.  Our sleep apnea treatment has been highly praised for quick resolution of previously ongoing problems.

Dental Implants – The dental implants specialists in our Latham clinic are skilled in the advanced techniques used to replace missing teeth. We can install a dental device to replace a tooth or serve as an anchor for affordable dentures.  There are plenty of options we can discuss with you to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Full mouth reconstruction – If your mouth has been completely compromised and needs serious repair, don’t worry. Our team has the area’s top oral surgeons on staff.  We’ll perform the full process from start to finish to restore your teeth and gums to working order so you can smile again.  Whether you’ve experienced tooth loss, periodontal disease, malocclusion, acid erosion, or accidental trauma leading to fractures, full mouth reconstruction services can fix it.

Implant Crowns & Bridges – Years ago, the only option available when you lost teeth was a dental bridge or a denture. Today, we can use dental implant crowns, implant bridges, or dentures as alternatives to the traditional restorations.

Cosmetic Gum Reshaping – Our periodontal specialist performs cosmetic gum reshaping to update your smile with perfect symmetry. By identifying where the tooth meets the gum and analyzing the overall structure of your mouth, gum contouring can remold your teeth and gums to achieve a flawless aesthetic.

Porcelain & Composite Tooth Fillings – Porcelain and composite fillings are a good solution to cover up tooth decay after cavities have been removed.  Dental bonding and overlays aren’t noticeable by anyone but you.

Porcelain Crowns & Bridges – If you need to replace missing teeth, a porcelain crown or bridge may be a good option. Dental crowns can be made from gold, porcelain, and ceramic.  The material is then fused with metal to form-fit to your tooth. Dental crowns look natural and are very durable. The differences are in the materials, which we are happy to discuss with you.

Porcelain Veneers – If you need a porcelain veneer procedure, our providers can perform the task flawlessly. Porcelain veneers are sheets of porcelain material that are fused to the front of your teeth to create a uniform look and to fix cracks, chips, stains, etc.

Teeth Whitening – If your teeth are looking old and yellow, stop by to get them whitened.  Our teeth whitening services are state-of-the-art and provide lasting results.  Nothing can complete with a bright set of pearly whites.

Invisalign – Contact us for an Invisalign consultation if your teeth don’t look the way you want them to.  Using Invisalign, we can realign your teeth to a symmetrical structure that functions better for eating and looks better aesthetically.  The price of Invisalign braces varies based on whether you have insurance; please give us a call to discuss your needs.

Scaling Root Planing – Scaling and root planning (also called dental deep cleaning) is a dental treatment we use to fight the early stages of gum disease. SRP reaches below the gum line to remove tartar and bacteria from the root of your teeth.

Osseous Surgery – Here we add bone tissue to areas of bone loss when a patient suffers from gum disease. If a bone is lost, a tooth can fall out, so we do everything we can to prevent that by performing the oral restoration process as early as possible.

Oral Tissue Grafts – Gum grafts are something our experts use to rebuild your existing gum tissue when we notice is receding. Fixing your gums early can prevent larger issues later.

Oral Surgery & Tooth Extraction – We have the best oral surgeons in the area on staff to help with repairing your mouth and extracting teeth. Wisdom tooth removal is one of the more common reasons for oral surgery, and it’s something we have years of experience in. If your teeth are crowded together, impacted, infected, or causing serious pain, tooth extraction may be the right answer. Contact our team of professionals to book an appointment to get it checked out first.

Root Canals – Latham Dental Pros is more than happy to walk you through our process for root canals. Our root canal specialist uses powerful technology to take digital scans of your teeth and pinpoint the exact spots we need to operate on.  This type of treatment is one where you can be asleep for the whole thing if you wanted, so there’s nothing to worry about.

What areas do you serve?

We’re located in the heart of Latham, NY, so many of our patients are local residents.  But we have a great reputation and people drive from all over the area to come see us.

People drive in from Crescent Station, Dunsbach Ferry, Newtonville, Siena College, Saint Rose, Troy-Schenectady Road, Wade Road, Town Center, Park Ave, SUNY Albany and more.  We also have patients in Cohoes, Waterford, Troy, Colonie, Menands, Niskayuna, and a few other cities nearby.

What is the cost?

The prices for our dental work depends on what you need done. The best idea is to book an appointment with one of our professionals to discuss what’s going on with your mouth and what you’d like to have done.  We will always provide you with as much useful information as we can so you know all your options and you can decide what’s best for you.

I don’t want to be awake any of it. How does sedation dental care work?

We understand. The mouth is a sensitive area, and we know it’s not fun to have work done on it.  If you need any dental work done that requires Novocain and you don’t want to take it, we can use a safe gas to put you to sleep for the procedure.  Sedation dentistry is popular in the Latham area, so you’re not alone.
