Advanced Dental Procedures
At Connie J. Smith, DDS, we provide a comprehensive range of advanced dental treatment in North Dallas, TX:
Dentures in North Dallas, TX
If you have lost your teeth due to aging, trauma, bone loss, or other reasons, we can recommend the right kind of dentures for your requirement. After scanning the oral cavity, we will determine which teeth will need to be removed. Dr. Smith recommends implant-supported dentures or over dentures to improve stability and strength.
Root Canal Treatment in North Dallas, TX
When a cavity is left untreated and attacks tooth pulp, it must be treated with root canal therapy. Infected tooth pulp cannot heal on its own and may compromise your immunity system if ignored. We will determine the right type of root canal treatment (surgical or non-surgical) for your requirement.
Specialized TMJ Treatment in North Dallas, TX
Injury, arthritis, teeth-clenching, or malocclusion may lead to problems in the TMJ or temporal-mandibular joint. We use visual exams or imaging to diagnose the problem and may recommend jaw exercise, medication, mouth guards, or TOS (Therapeutic Occlusal Splints) to treat the issue. The dentist may recommend surgery for extreme cases.
We also provide standard and mini-implants that help stabilize restorations, including fixed bridges and crowns.
