Dental Exams & Cleanings
At Sierra Springs Dental, our comprehensive dental exams and cleanings go beyond the surface, ensuring a thorough oral health assessment. Our skilled professionals meticulously inspect your teeth and gums during a dental exam, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. Following the examination, our gentle and precise cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup, promoting optimal oral hygiene. Routine dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of preventive care, allowing us to catch issues early and customize a plan for your ongoing oral health. Aftercare involves maintaining regular oral hygiene practices at home, complemented by scheduled follow-up visits for continued preventive care.
Oral Cancer Screening
Prioritizing your well-being, Sierra Springs Dental offers comprehensive oral cancer screenings as part of our commitment to proactive healthcare. Our experienced team employs advanced screening techniques to detect abnormalities in the oral tissues. The process is quick and non-invasive, carefully examining the mouth, tongue, and throat. Early detection is crucial, and should any concerns arise, our team will guide you through the next steps, ensuring timely and effective intervention. Regular screenings, coupled with maintaining a tobacco-free lifestyle and limiting alcohol consumption, contribute to a comprehensive strategy against oral cancer.
Root Canal Therapy
Sierra Springs Dental specializes in compassionate and effective root canal therapy to save a tooth with severe decay or infection. The process begins with a thorough examination and X-rays to pinpoint the issue. Local anesthesia is administered for comfort, and the infected pulp is carefully removed. The canal is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed. Post-treatment, a dental crown is often recommended to restore the tooth’s strength and functionality. Aftercare involves adhering to prescribed medications and regular dental check-ups to ensure the treated tooth remains healthy and functional.
Periodontal Care
Our periodontal care services at Sierra Springs Dental focus on the health of your gums and supporting structures. The process starts with a comprehensive periodontal examination, assessing the condition of your gums and identifying signs of gum disease. Depending on the severity, treatments may include scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar or more advanced procedures for addressing periodontal pockets. Following periodontal care, maintaining good oral hygiene practices at home and attending regular follow-up appointments are essential components of the aftercare routine, promoting long-term gum health.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Sierra Springs Dental ensures a seamless experience for wisdom tooth extractions, addressing potential impaction, crowding, or pain. The procedure begins with a thorough examination and imaging to assess the position of the wisdom teeth. Local anesthesia or sedation is administered for your comfort, and the extraction is performed with precision. Post-extraction care involves following specific guidelines provided by our team, including managing swelling with ice packs and avoiding certain foods. Regular follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and ongoing oral health.
Dental Surgery
Sierra Springs Dental excels in various dental surgical procedures, offering specialized care tailored to your needs. Our skilled team ensures a comfortable and efficient surgical experience, from tooth extractions to implant placements. The process begins with a detailed consultation and examination, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan. During the surgical procedure, anesthesia or sedation is administered for your comfort. Our team provides thorough aftercare instructions post-surgery, including managing pain swelling, and maintaining oral hygiene. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing progress and address any concerns.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings

The procedure starts with removing the decayed area, followed by careful layering and curing of the composite material. The result is a durable and visually appealing restoration. Aftercare includes regular oral hygiene practices, and our team will guide you on maintaining the longevity and appearance of your tooth-coloured fillings through proper care and maintenance.
