 Our
goal as your dental health provider is to minimize your cost and make
sure that your visit is a comfortable one. We want you to
be an active partner in your dental care, so we’ll teach you what
you need to know to prevent problems and enjoy a lifetime of good dental
health. During your first visit, we’ll perform a dental examination
and take radiographs so we can diagnose and treat any existing problems.
We also take a panoramic radiograph, which allows us to evaluate tissues
and foundations not easily seen during a visual examination. We check
your teeth, bones, soft tissue, and bite occlusion.
We’ll
then schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment options, answer
any
questions you may have and give home care instructions. School age
children are encouraged to attend the consultation so they
can begin
to understand
the importance
of good dental health. If finances are a concern, we can schedule a consultation
with our financial coordinator who would be happy to discuss your financial
options with you.
Preventive Care Services
Many patients don’t see a dentist until something hurts. We can
help you avoid pain with our preventive services which are the best in
the business.
Our
commitment to prevention includes extensive ongoing training for our hygienists
in the latest techniques that are both effective and comfortable. Because we
focus on preventing dental problems before they occur, we can help you keep
your teeth and gums in excellent condition with the following preventive
services:
- Dental Cleaning and Hygiene
- Dental sealants
- Regular checkups
- Patient education
- Snoreguards
- Nightguards
- Mouthguards
- Breath treatment
Restorative Services
 Dentistry
has changed more in the past 10 years than it did in the preceding 30
years. With new technology, materials and procedures, dentists
can now
offer patients improved dental restorative services. Most of us require some
type of dental restorative
work, such as fillings, crowns or bridges, during our lifetimes. Due to
our extensive experience and commitment to continuing education, Jordan
Family
Dentistry offers
patients the latest technology, materials and procedures. Our goal is to
give patients high-quality restorative dentistry when necessary and to prevent
additional breakdown in the future. Our restorative services include:
- Tooth colored fillings
- Porcelain veneers· Whitening
- All Porcelain crowns, onlays and inlays
- Bridges
- Dentures and partial dentures
- Root canals
- Restoration of dental implants
Gum Disease
A large percentage of the population has gum disease, the number one
reason that people lose their teeth. Gum disease is caused by a bacterial
infection
under
the gums, which leads to bone destruction. Our comprehensive initial
examination detects gum disease, and we offer the latest in-office non-surgical
therapy
to help you keep your teeth intact and your gums healthy and pink. In
fact, our
hygienists have completed nationally recognized training in the latest
techniques and work closely with your dentist to ensure that you receive
the best possible
periodontal care tailored to suit your individual needs. Our periodontal
services include:
- Charting and diagnostic services
- In-office, non-surgical gum therapy
Cosmetic Services
With the number of exciting developments in dentistry over the past
few years, we are able to offer patients the latest cosmetic procedures.
It’s now
possible to give patients dazzling smiles, and some report that cosmetic dentistry
can be a life-changing experience. From non-metal fillings to porcelain veneers
to gum recontouring, Jordan Family Dentistry proudly offers patients the latest
cosmetic procedures, including:
- Tooth colored fillings
- Porcelain veneers
- Whitening or bleaching
- All porcelain crowns, onlays and inlays

Patient Comfort and Technology
 Though patients are sometimes apprehensive, advances in dentistry have
made procedures far more comfortable than they were in the past. Techniques
have changed and
new anesthetics are far more effective. For instance, air abrasion
now allows us to remove small amounts of decay painlessly without anesthetic.
We offer
a number of items designed to increase your comfort, from nitrous
oxide and oral
sedation to massaging chairs and blankets. You can relax and watch
your
favorite movie or TV show or listen to a wide array of music on special
headphones. And for your safety, we use the most modern sterilization techniques
available in dentistry today. Our patient comfort measures include:

- Intra oral camera

television
and music with special headphones
