General Dentistry
Benstock Dental Care has extensive experience working with both adults & children. We understand that these two groups have different needs & we address them all, providing only the highest-quality regular dental hygiene visits, sealants, mouthguards & patient/parent education. We place a high emphasis on sealants, which at less than half the cost of conventional fillings are effective in preventing tooth decay on the biting surfaces of chewing teeth. Without anesthetics or drilling, sealants are one of the most simple & important preventive services we have.Restorative Dentistry
We enjoy the challenge of restoring your smile. And thanks to rapid advances in dental technology, there is much more that we can do for our patients these days. Modern ceramic materials combined with the in-depth experience of our clinical team can assure you of an effective & long-lasting result. For example, crowns can be used to replace the top part of a tooth when it has become irreparably damaged but the root is still healthy. On occasions, cavities can become too large for an ordinary filling, so we will suggest an alternative — a ceramic onlay or inlay. These are skillfully made in the laboratory to fit the shape of the cavity & the color of the surrounding teeth.Cosmetic Dentistry – Improving Your Smile
Having a great smile can make a huge difference in the way you look & feel. We offer a complete range of cosmetic treatments to create the confident smile you've always wanted.

This includes our regular dental hygiene visits, sealants, mouthguards & patient/parent education.

This plastic coating, which is clear or tooth-colored, is applied to deep pits & grooves. This seals them in the areas where decay is most likely to begin. At less than half the cost of conventional fillings, without anesthetics or drilling, sealants are one of the most important preventive services we have.Sedation Dentistry

Veneers
Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns & can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, & creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized material designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long lasting, & are relatively easy to apply.
Dental & Restorative Implants
Dental implants are essentially permanent, attached teeth that replace partials, bridges or dentures. A titanium implant is permanently attached to your bone & a prosthetic tooth (crown) is attached to the implant. Implants are preferred to bridges because they can improve your bite without damaging neighboring teeth (like a bridge might). Treatment can be finished in three to five visits over the space of about four to 12 months.Dentures
To increase speaking & chewing ability, we attach a customized denture to individual implants or a row of implants, securing the denture in place. They look completely natural, are long-lasting & are quite durable.
Crowns
Crowns cover & support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth left. It can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It's also used to cover a dental implant. A crown can make your tooth stronger & improve its appearance.
Root Canal Therapy
Did you know that each tooth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp that provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves and extends through the tooth's root? If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth’s nerves die, without endodontic treatment. In this case the tooth would have to be removed. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (after the tooth is numb), the diseased pulp is removed and the tooth is permanently sealed with a porcelain or tooth-colored crown. We are happy to provide one-appointment root canal therapy for you.
Periodontics
Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile – it can cause loss of teeth & eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth’s soft tissues. Early warning signs of this disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage. If detected late, we can use one of the many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. Let our doctors help you keep your teeth & gums strong & disease-free with regular examinations & cleanings.
