Our Services

At Lakewood Ranch Dental, we offer a wide range of dental services to meet the diverse needs of our patients. We understand that each individual has unique dental requirements, and we strive to provide tailored solutions for every smile.

Our comprehensive list of services includes:

• Cosmetic Dentistry: Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. We offer procedures such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and crowns to improve the color, shape, and overall appearance of your teeth.

• Crowns and Veneers: Crowns and veneers are restorative and cosmetic treatments that can significantly improve the look and function of your teeth. Crowns are custom-made caps that cover the entire visible surface of a tooth, restoring its strength and shape. Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of teeth to conceal imperfections like chips, stains, or discoloration.

• Dental Implants: Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, topped with artificial teeth that look and feel like natural teeth. Implants offer superior stability, aesthetics, and longevity compared to traditional dentures.

• Dentures and Partials: Dentures and partials are removable replacements for missing teeth. Dentures are full sets of artificial teeth, while partials are designed to replace a few missing teeth. We can create custom dentures and partials that fit comfortably and restore your ability to chew and speak properly.

• Extractions: Tooth extractions may be necessary to remove damaged, infected, or impacted teeth. We perform extractions with the utmost care and precision to ensure your comfort and safety.

• General Dentistry: Our general dentistry services encompass a wide range of preventive and restorative treatments. This includes routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, and X-rays. We also provide education on proper oral hygiene practices to help you maintain optimal dental health.

• Invisalign: Invisalign is a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. This orthodontic treatment utilizes a series of custom-made aligners that gradually shift teeth into their desired positions.

• Kids Dentistry: We understand that children may have unique dental needs. We offer specialized pediatric dental care in a fun and friendly environment to make your child's dental visits enjoyable.

• Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They can be used to conceal imperfections such as chips, cracks, discoloration, and gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are known for their natural-looking appearance and durability.

• Restorative Dentistry: Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged or decayed teeth. This can include fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canals.

• Root Canals: Root canal therapy is a procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from the pulp of a tooth.

• Sleep Apnea: We offer treatment options for sleep apnea, a condition characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep.

• Teeth Whitening: We offer professional teeth whitening treatments to help brighten your smile. Our experienced dentists will work with you to achieve the desired shade of white safely and effectively.
