Improving your oral health

Whether it’s your first visit, a routine recall, or a dental emergency, our team provides a thorough evaluation. Our comprehensive exams screen for cavities, gingivitis, periodontal (gum) disease, fractures, oral cancer, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and many other issues. We are happy to see patients of all ages and recommend the first dental appointment before baby’s first birthday.

Various types of dental cleanings depend upon on the health of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone. Hemphill Dental will work with you to evaluate and determine the best treatment to keep your teeth free from sticky plaque and hard calculus.

Our exams evaluate beyond what is visible to the eye. Radiographs determine the presence of cavities, calculus, and infection. Panoramic radiographs evaluate wisdom teeth, jaw joints and other supporting structures. 

The Hemphill Dental team is equipped to provide beautiful restorations. We offer both resin (tooth-colored) and amalgam (silver) fillings, and we customize your resin fillings to mimic the layers in natural tooth structure.

Sealants help prevent the formation of cavities and are an efficient and effective way to keep susceptible teeth healthy.

Crowns are placed upon teeth that are broken, stained, worn, or misaligned. Crowns may be made from many different types of materials. Hemphill Dental is up-to-date on the strongest (and best-looking) materials used to fabricate these restorations.  

Bridges are a cemented restoration to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Like crowns, bridges can be made from many different types of materials.

Implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth and function like natural teeth. We work in conjunction with local oral surgery specialists to surgically place the implant and then fabricate the final abutment and crown. 

Removable appliances are a great option for patients to replace multiple missing teeth. And with the evolution of digital dentistry and guided surgery, there are many options. Our practice will spend time with you and answer all your questions to determine which type of appliance best fits your needs. 

Sometimes, removal of the tooth is the best option. Hemphill Dental is equipped to help remove troublesome teeth as comfortably as possible. 

When a tooth becomes infected, or abscessed, a root canal is recommended to remove the diseased tissue (pulp) from the root of the tooth, while retaining the hard outer layers (enamel and dentin). Oftentimes, for strength, a tooth that needs a root canal will also require a crown.

Whitening is an effective and conservative way to improve the appearance of your smile without the use of bonded dental materials. 

Veneers are bonded restorations used to change the color and shape of teeth, fix cracks, or close gaps. They can be lab fabricated (porcelain) or performed chairside (resin). Both options offer excellent durability and can be customized to offer outstanding results. 

Hemphill Dental provides extensive evaluation and treatment of jaw joint dysfunction. Whether the joint and muscles need palliative care, splint therapy, bite adjustments or Botox/Xeomin, we have you covered.

Hemphill Dental treats diagnosed snoring and sleep apnea with specialized appliances that open the airway and provide improved rest.

Fear is a common reason patients avoid dental treatment. Our office eases the stress with sedation options customized for each individual patient.

Yes! Whether we are contracted with your insurance or not, you may utilize your dental benefits at Hemphill Dental. Even when going ‘out of network’, patients find their insurance often covers a portion of treatment.

Being an unrestricted provider allows us to spend more time with each patient, use higher quality materials, and deliver an outstanding experience.

Many factors determine the best treatment for your dental needs. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a full mouth rehabilitation, we will spend time with you and discuss your treatment options, arriving at a plan with which you can be confident.

We understand the dental office can be an intimidating place. At Hemphill Dental, we offer options to reduce your anxiety like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation.

Yes! Brushing and flossing daily removes the sticky plaque and delivers fluoride to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Over time, hard calculus (tartar) accumulates on teeth and cannot be removed with your toothbrush, alone. Routine cleanings, x-rays, and exams allow us to keep your teeth and gums healthy and catch other potential issues early.

Within the first year! It is important to bring baby to the dentist within six months of the eruption of the first tooth or before their first birthday. This ‘well-baby’ visit is important both to help baby learn to love the dentist and to educate parents about good oral hygiene.
