Our doctors offer an extensive menu of other general treatments to ensure that we can care for your smile no matter what.
Visit us if you have dental anxiety, a dental emergency, or need a custom mouthguard to participate in contact sports. The following are the general dental services we can provide:
- Sedation Dentistry: Dental sedation is for patients who fear going to the dentist, and have anxiety about the dental environment. It’s also great for patients with a sensitive gag reflex, or those going through many extensive procedures.
- Tooth Extraction: Extractions are usually save as a last resort, or wisdom teeth removal, because natural enamel is your best defense. We can remove problem teeth that are causing more harm than good to protect your health.
- Family Dentistry: These services are for families that want to visit at the same time. They include age-appropriate services for children and patients of all ages.
- Emergency Dentistry: Dr. Steven Anolik and Dr. Corey Anolik take emergency cases very seriously. We are here to assist you when something goes wrong, after an accident, or in times of severe pain.
- Custom Mouthguards: When participating in contact sports, it’s always important to wear a mouthguard. Dr. Steven Anolik and Dr. Corey Anolik can make custom mouthguards that perfectly fit only your mouth.
Cosmetic Dental Services
Our cosmetic dental services offer patients the solutions they need to get their dream smiles. We have seen firsthand how many patients take better care of their smiles once they feel confident about the way they look. This is why we’re happy to provide services that alter, improve, or restore teeth to their full beauty. If you have crooked teeth, stained teeth, or minor damage, we can restore them with the following cosmetic services:
- Porcelain Veneers: Dental veneers are a non-invasive treatment that can fix many cosmetic issues on teeth in the smile zone. We can close gaps, repair chips and cracks, and even hide stains. We offer porcelain veneers because they match tooth enamel, and the results look so real patients forget that they have them.
- Tooth Bonding: Dental bonding is the more economical alternative to veneers. We can conceal minor blemishes on your teeth using dental resin.
- Invisalign: Clear aligners are best for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Invisalign is the most discreet alternative to traditional braces. Dr. Corey Anolik and Dr. Steven Anolik are Platinum Invisalign Providers in Gaithersburg.
- Teeth Whitening: We can effectively remove years of stains from your teeth in a single visit. Get up to 8-shades whiter teeth with our in-office whitening treatment.
Restorative Dental Treatments
Our restorative dental solutions can address complex dental concerns correctly the first time. When something goes wrong with your smile, call TotallySmiles Dental Group and we will do our best to quickly restore your oral health.
Our dentists can address concerns like severe dental damage, tooth loss, jaw pain, and advanced gum disease. The sooner you see Dr. Corey Anolik and Dr. Steven Anolik about your dental concerns, the better. Many problems will only get worse the longer you leave them untreated. Our restorative treatment options include:
- Dental Crowns: Save damaged teeth with custom crowns that look and work like natural teeth. We offer same-day dental crowns for broken, cracked, or severely worn-down teeth.
- Dental Implants: They’re the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because implants fuse with your jawbone. Although a long process, you’ll get a permanent smile that chews, speaks, and feels like the real thing. Dr. Corey Anolik and Dr. Steven Anolik work with the most sought-after oral surgeons to make sure you’re getting the best results.
- Dental Bridges: Replace missing teeth without surgery with a bridge. Bridges use neighboring teeth for support. We can quickly and comfortably fill gaps in your smile in no time.
- Dentures & Partials: Dentures are full-arch replacements that replace all your teeth. Partial dentures can replace whole sections of lost teeth, no matter when you lost them. The modern dentures we offer at TotallySmiles are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever.
- TMJ Treatment: Do you need relief from jaw pain, headaches, and clicking sounds? We’ll help you stop grinding and start relaxing with treatments for TMD/TMJ Disorders.
- Periodontal Disease Treatment: Rescue your gums from advanced disease. Our gum treatments can stop damage and protect your smile’s foundation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes dental implants a better long-term option than bridges?
Dental implants last longer because they fuse with the jawbone and don’t rely on surrounding teeth for support. Bridges can weaken neighboring teeth over time and need replacement after 10 to 15 years. Implants also help preserve bone, which bridges don’t because they’re removable.
Is a tooth extraction always necessary for a severely decayed tooth?
Not always. You can avoid extraction if we save the tooth with a root canal and crown. Your dentist will examine how deep the decay goes and whether he can restore the tooth. Extraction is the last option when saving the tooth isn’t possible.
How do dental bridges stay in place without surgery?
Bridges are anchored by crowns on the teeth next to the gap. The dentist reshapes the supporting teeth, and then cements the bridge in place. You won’t need surgery, but it does involve altering healthy teeth to hold the bridge securely.
Can I switch from dentures to dental implants later on?
Yes, you can switch to implants even after wearing dentures for years. You may need a bone graft first if your jawbone has become too weak. Dr. Anolik will evaluate your bone health and create a plan to transition to implants safely.
What cosmetic issues can tooth bonding correct?
Bonding can fix chips, small cracks, discoloration, uneven edges, and small gaps between teeth. It’s a fast and affordable way to improve the look of your smile. However, it’s best for minor changes. You may need touch-ups over time because the resin material isn’t as strong as porcelain or real enamel.
What signs might show that I need TMJ treatment?
Common signs include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, earaches, or difficulty opening your mouth. You might also notice jaw stiffness or teeth grinding. If these symptoms are frequent, visit our dentists to evaluate your jaw joint.
