General Dentistry
Dr. Myers provides complete general dentistry services to keep your teeth and gums healthy. General dentistry is connected to preventative dental care. Our general dental treatments keep you healthy and prevent dental problems from worsening over time. General treatments include:
- Custom Mouthguard: A custom mouthguard is made just for you to protect your teeth during sports. It fits comfortably in your mouth and offers much better protection than store-bought mouthguards. Dr. Myers can create a mouthguard that helps prevent broken teeth, jaw injuries, and cuts to your gums.
- Emergency Dentistry: If you have a dental emergency, like a broken tooth or a bad toothache, Dr. Myers can help with fast, same-day care. We know dental emergencies can be stressful, so we make it a priority to treat you quickly. Whether you have an injury or sudden pain, our emergency dentistry services will relieve your discomfort and protect your smile.
- Family Dentistry: At Emerald Isle Smiles, we offer dental care for the whole family, from young children to older adults. Dr. Myers makes every visit comfortable and easy so everyone in your family can have a positive experience. From regular cleanings to fixing dental problems, we help keep your whole family’s smiles healthy and happy.
- Tooth Extraction: Sometimes a tooth needs to be removed if it is badly damaged, infected, or causing crowding. Dr. Myers performs gentle tooth extractions to protect your health and make sure your mouth stays comfortable. She’ll also discuss replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to help restore your smile after an extraction.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Myers provides cosmetic dentistry services to help you improve your confidence. If you’re unhappy with how your teeth look, she can find the right treatment to meet your goals. Cosmetic dental care in our office includes:
- Dental Bonding: Dental bonding is a quick and easy way to fix small chips, cracks, or gaps in your teeth. Dr. Myers uses a tooth-colored material to shape and smooth your tooth so it looks natural and healthy. This simple treatment can be done in just one visit.
- Invisalign: Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal braces. The aligners are comfortable to wear and easy to take out to eat and brush your teeth. Many patients like Invisalign because it gently moves teeth into place while keeping your smile looking natural.
- Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin shells that cover the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. Dr. Myers places dental veneers to fix problems like stained, crooked, or uneven teeth. Veneers are popular because they look natural and can cover the teeth that show when you smile.
- Teeth Whitening: Our professional teeth whitening treatments can remove stains from coffee, tea, or wine. At Emerald Isle Smiles, we offer professional whitening treatments that work faster and better than store-bought products. In just one treatment, you can enjoy a whiter, cleaner-looking smile that boosts your confidence.
Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Myers can restore the form and function of your teeth and gums. She works to ensure you get the best bite function after she treats tooth damage or missing teeth. Our restorative dentistry services include:
- Dental Bridge: We may recommend a bridge for you if you have one or more missing teeth in a row. A bridge is made of natural-looking replacement teeth supported by crown-capped teeth or implants. Tooth bridges help “bridge the gap” left by lost teeth.
- Dental Crown:A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that goes over a damaged or worn tooth. Dr. Myers uses crowns to protect weak teeth, fix broken teeth, or cover teeth after a root canal. Crowns are strong, natural-looking, and help your tooth last longer while improving your smile.
- Dental Implants: Dr. Myers recommends implants to support a single missing tooth, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are made of a small titanium post that is placed in your jawbone and topped with a restoration. Because implants look, feel, and work like natural teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence.:
- Dentures & Partials: Dentures can replace rows or full arches of missing teeth. Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill in gaps when you still have some natural teeth. These options help restore your ability to eat and speak properly while giving you back a natural-looking smile.
- Periodontal Disease Treatment: Gum disease can cause swollen gums, tooth loss, and other health problems. Dr. Myers offers treatments like deep cleanings to treat gum disease. Treating periodontal disease early can prevent problems like gum recession and tooth loss.
- TMJ Treatment: TMJ treatment helps relieve jaw pain, headaches, and clicking sounds caused by problems with your jaw joints. Dr. Myers can create a custom night guard or suggest exercises to relax your jaw muscles. Treating TMJ problems can help you feel more comfortable, reduce jaw strain, and protect your teeth from wear.
