Routine Dental Cleanings

Maintaining your dental health has never been easier with our routine dental cleanings! Pronghorn Family Dentistry offers cleanings to patients of all ages. We strive to maintain optimal oral health from infants to retirees by removing plaque, calculus, and food residue from your mouth.

We also inspect your mouth for signs of decay, oral cancer, gum disease, and other issues during this procedure. We also give tips on how to improve your dental hygiene routine at home. Take the preventative step today by contacting us for your routine dental cleaning appointment!

Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a technique utilized by our team to remove plaque and calculus beneath your gum line. We perform this procedure on patients of all ages to ensure optimal oral health for the entire family! A local anesthetic or topical agent may be used to reduce any discomfort.

Digital X-Rays

Take preventative action with our digital x-ray services. Pronghorn Family Dentistry utilizes this tool to help find developing issues in the mouth that aren’t visible to the naked eye, such as decay, bone loss, impacted teeth, and more. Our digital x-rays expose patients to a significantly reduced amount of radiation compared to traditional x-rays. The images are immediately available to view, store, and share if necessary. We also take extra oral films for patients with tori, or a small mouth.

Lasers

Pronghorn Family Dentistry utilizes diode lasers to ensure excellent, comprehensive dental services. Lasers can be used to facilitate healings in periodontal pockets. Utilizing Solea and Thor PBM, they can also remove frenulum pulls, and benign growths. Traumatic lesions, aphthous ulcers, and cold sores can also be treated with a laser to reduce pain and speed healing time.

NTI Plus

This thermoplastic device securely fits your lower or upper front teeth while you sleep and prevents your back teeth from touching. This device reduces how tightly you clench your teeth, which can help relieve migraine pain and tension headaches. This method provides you with a secure, custom fit without the obtrusion of a full-arch mouthguard.

Teeth Whitening

Brighten your smile and increase your confidence with our teeth whitening services. Pronghorn Family Dentistry utilizes KöR Deep Bleaching. We take molds of your teeth to create your custom, comfortable, and unique whitening trays. We will work together to find which level of whitening is the proper fit for you. This process typically takes around 1-2 weeks of wearing them while you sleep. Depending on the level you’d like, we may require one or two whitening visits in our office as well.

Veneers

Transform your smile with veneers! These are thin yet very strong porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers can be used to make teeth appear whiter and more aligned. The team at Pronghorn Family Dentistry also uses this service to disguise chips, gaps, cracks, discoloration, and more!

Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency can be a painful and stressful experience. That’s why we offer same-day appointments for urgent dental issues. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or a broken filling, our experienced team is ready to provide prompt and effective care.

We offer custom mouthguards for athletes free of charge!

Clear Aligners

You deserve a healthy, happy smile. Pronghorn Family Dentistry is partnered with Clear Aligners to ensure that you get the straight smile you desire! Straightening teeth is beneficial not only for your confidence but also for your oral function. These clear aligners alleviate TMJ issues, correct your bite, and help avoid periodontal disease.

We are Proud to Offer Solea Laser Dentistry

The team at Pronghorn Family Dentistry is proud to offer Solea Dental Laser services to our patients. This tool eliminates the need to use a drill for most of our treatments. That means a quieter, more comfortable, and more enjoyable experience for our patients. Solea is a CO2 dental laser utilized for hard and soft tissue treatments. Approved by the FDA, we use it in simple and complex procedures as its wavelength is controlled by computer technology for precise, gentle, and virtually painless treatment.

Restorative Dentistry

Periodontal Therapy

PerioProtect

Pronghorn Family Dentistry cares not only about your teeth but your overall oral health. Our periodontal therapy services ensure that your gums remain healthy and clean.

We offer Perio-Protect, non-invasive treatment for oral bacteria associated with gum disease. The customized perio tray has a special sealing system that keeps medications below the gum line to fight infections. We recommend using the tray with prescribed medication at home for just minutes each day. Research shows that combining debridements and scaling with perio tray delivery results better than debridements alone.

Crowns & Bridges

Pronghorn Family Dentistry offers several tooth restoration options, including crowns and bridges. Our crowns are custom-created to be placed on top of a decayed or broken tooth. The crown is made to blend perfectly with your smile and help restore the function of your tooth!

A bridge is a device that is used to replace a missing tooth. We cement bridges onto the teeth on either side of the gap and then connect the crowns to an abutment tooth placed into the gap.
This is a non-removable tooth replacement option that functions just like normal teeth!

CariVu Cavity Detection Device

Pronghorn Family Dentistry utilizes the latest technology to ensure that your smile is as healthy as possible. For patients of all ages, we use the CariVu Cavity Detection Device. It is a compact, portable detection device that reveals cavities and fractures using a patented transillumination technology.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal procedures can be a stressful, daunting process. At Pronghorn Family Dentistry, we strive to make this treatment as comprehensive and gentle as possible. When a tooth has an infection that has reached the nerve, we will perform a root canal.

We extract the infected pulp from the tooth and the root during a root canal. Then, we disinfect the inside of the tooth to eliminate any remaining bacteria. We will then restore the tooth with a crown or a filling, depending on the size of the root canal.

Extractions

Pronghorn Family Dentistry works hard to keep your teeth in optimal condition. However, sometimes a tooth is beyond the point of being saved. Ensuring that it is removed professionally helps prevent more significant issues down the road.

Trust our team to perform your tooth extraction. During the extraction, we remove the tooth and the root. Then, we will discuss your options for a tooth replacement, including a partial denture, bridge, or dental implant.

Cancer Screenings

Oral ID Technology

Like gum disease, the development of oral cancer can be subtle and hard to detect with the naked eye. Oral ID technology helps dental professionals detect abnormalities that lead to oral cancer. This system uses light to detect and identify significant changes in your oral tissues. Early detection methods mean if an exception is found, you can receive earlier treatment, increasing the chance of a cure.

Path ID

This is a simple, painless method of testing suspicious oral spots. Testing these spots helps identify unhealthy cells, which can indicate future oral cancer risks. If unhealthy cells are found, the spot can typically be removed, preventing oral cancer from ever developing.

Digital Impressions

iTero

Pronghorn Family Dentistry is proud to utilize iTero technology to obtain digital scans. These digital impressions offer an accurate, in-depth look into your mouth and help aid in improving oral health. From restorative to orthodontic solutions, trust iTero to get a phenomenal digital impression!

 

Airway Health

Sleep & Airway Treatments

If you are suffering from sleep or airway problems like sleep apnea, we can help. We are proud to offer Vivos System to give you a good night’s rest.

The Vivos system offers you a nonsurgical method to help treat the effects of sleep apnea. Depending on your needs, this system works by correcting the upper or lower jaw. Contact us today to learn more!

TMJ Disorder Services

TMJ is the temporomandibular joints that connect your jaw to your skull. This joint allow you to open and close your mouth, speak, and chew food. If you have jaw clicking, headaches, earaches, pain when your mouth is opened widely, and tenderness of jaw muscles, you may be suffering from TMJ Disorder.

Pronghorn Family Dentistry can diagnose you and work to alleviate your pain. We uncover the underlying cause of your discomfort and take the best path towards a solution. This may be recommending an orthodontist or creating a custom mouthguard depending on your needs! Speak with us today to learn more!

Cone Beam CT

Cone-beam computed tomography (CT) is a diagnostic tool that allows the team at Pronghorn Family Dentistry to create a three-dimensional image of teeth, tissues, and jaw bone. It produces a more comprehensive image to examine every angle of the orofacial area. Our team uses this technology when regular 2-D x-rays aren’t enough to uncover potential oral health problems or create a treatment plan.

Infant Frenectomies & Tongue Releases

Pronghorn Family Dentistry recommends early evaluations for tongue releases if your baby has a lip-tie or tongue-tie. This procedure will make breastfeeding or bottle-feeding easier and more attainable for the infant. Additionally, there is a direct connection between breathing, sleeping, tongue, and lip function.

A frenectomy/frenuloplasty is a procedure safe for patients of all ages. During this procedure, the connecting tissue from the upper part of the mouth or underneath the tongue is revised to help correct feeding, eating, breathing, speech, and sleep issues. We are committed to helping your child correctly grow and develop.

Tooth Pillow

A tooth pillow is a dental device for children that promotes proper jaw development and nasal breathing by guiding teeth and jaw alignment during sleep. It serves as preventive care against orthodontic issues and enhances sleep quality by addressing airway concerns, falling under myofunctional therapy.

Pronghorn Family Dentistry is a tooth pillow prime provider; we offer in-person and virtual tooth pillow treatment for early intervention, starting at 3 years old.

Nasal Release Technique (NRT)

This gentle chiropractic treatment uses an inflatable balloon to apply pressure to the nasal passages, aiming to realign skull bones and relieve head-related issues like headaches and sinus pain.
