Dental Procedures Provided at Dr. Ban R. Barbat

Dr. Barbat has invested the time, resources, and energy into advanced training and education in order to offer a wide range of services to our valued patients. Some of the services that we provide are:

• Dental Bridge: No matter the cause of the tooth loss, it’s important to fill in the gap to restore normal chewing function. A bridge replaces missing teeth with pontics (fake teeth) and is supported by attaching to the natural teeth on either side of the gap or supported by implants.
• Dental Cleanings: Even the best daily brushing and flossing won’t get every bit of plaque between teeth and along the gumlines, and that plaque eventually hardens into tartar. Professional cleaning gets rid of all that tartar and keeps your teeth and gums on track to stay healthy.
• Dental Crowns: One of the most common procedures here at Dr. Ban R. Barbat is placing a crown, as they are a great solution for a wide range of dental health issues.
• Dental Sealants: Sealants provide protection for your teeth by keeping plaque from forming in the tiny crevices of the chewing surfaces. They are most commonly recommended for children but adults can get them too.
• Digital Impressions: Thanks to modern technology, Dr. Barbat can now use digital optical impressions to get all the information She needs without having to rely on putty.
• Enamel Shaping: This process only requires a single visit and is sometimes necessary alongside dental bonding procedures. Enamel shaping can be done to hide imperfections or to change a tooth’s appearance or shape.
• Fillings: Fillings are a way to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay and bring it back to its normal shape and function.
• Fluoride Treatments: A great way to fight cavities (in addition to brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings) is the application of topical fluoride treatments.
• Mercury Safe and Mercury Free: Here at Dr. Ban R. Barbat, we follow mercury-safe dental procedures to remove and replace silver fillings safely, and we offer new fillings that you can feel confident in.
• Neuromuscular Dentistry for TMD Relief: This inclusive approach can help treat TMD as well as provide more comfortable and longer-lasting solutions to related dental treatments, such as dentures and smile makeovers.
• Occlusal Disease Treatment: Where the upper and lower teeth meet, it’s common to find the enamel completely worn down. The key to preventing damage from occlusal disease is examination and diagnosis.
• Sedation Dentistry: At our practice, we use sedation to help our patients feel anxiety-free and relaxed during their treatment. If you suffer from dental phobia, Dr. Barbat may recommend one of several types of sedation after reviewing your medical history.
• Sleep Apnea: If an air passage collapses during sleep, it can cause complete or partial blockage of the airway, interrupting sleep patterns. Symptoms of sleep apnea can include drowsiness during the day, inattention at work, and depression.
• Snoring: A snoring habit is often paired with mouth breathing, which leaves the mouth dry and more vulnerable to the bacteria responsible for tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
• Tooth-Colored Fillings: Silver mercury amalgam fillings were used for many years in dentistry. You’ve likely had one in your lifetime. If you’re interested in replacing your silver fillings with tooth-colored resin fillings, please reach out to schedule a consultation.
• Tooth Perforation Repair: A perforation is a hole in either the root or crown of a tooth. These holes are very dangerous to the tooth and need treatment if the tooth is to be saved.
