The General Dentistry Services We Offer

Exams & Cleanings

Brushing alone can't reach every bit of plaque and tartar, so even with excellent home care, regular in-office exams and professional cleanings remain essential for catching issues early. Each comprehensive exam covers oral cancer screenings, digital X-rays, and a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite.

Crowns and bridges at Brammeier Dental of Naperville

Crowns & Bridges

When a tooth is cracked, severely decayed, or weakened after a root canal, a dental crown restores and protects it. Bridges close gaps left by one or more missing teeth, using connected crowns anchored to neighboring teeth so you can chew and smile with confidence again.

Fillings & Bonding

Using the same tooth-colored material, composite fillings restore cavities with a natural look and dental bonding repairs chips, cracks, and discoloration. No metal is required, and both treatments preserve your tooth structure while blending seamlessly with your smile.

Gum disease treatment at Brammeier Dental of Naperville

Gum Disease Treatment

Although gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, catching it early makes all the difference. From reversible gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, we diagnose and treat every stage of gum disease. To protect your teeth and bone, treatment includes deep cleanings, ongoing maintenance, and surgical options when needed.

Root Canal Therapy

A root canal saves a tooth when deep decay or infection reaches the nerve inside, removing the damaged tissue and sealing the tooth. Thanks to modern techniques and effective anesthesia, most patients say it feels no different than getting a filling. On top of that, it avoids the cost and complexity of tooth extraction and replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most patients, a dental exam and cleaning every 6 months keeps oral health on track. If you have gum disease or certain other conditions, more frequent visits (every 3–4 months) may be needed. Dr. Brammeier will recommend the schedule that fits your oral health needs.

During a comprehensive exam, we take digital X-rays to spot hidden problems, then visually examine every tooth and the surrounding gums, perform an oral cancer screening, assess your bite, and talk through any concerns or symptoms you've noticed.

Yes. Cavities between teeth, bone loss from gum disease, infections at the tooth root, and developing wisdom teeth often stay hidden from the naked eye, and X-rays reveal them. Using minimal radiation, digital X-rays remain a critical diagnostic tool.

Part of preventive care, a regular cleaning (prophylaxis) clears plaque and tartar from above the gum line. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) reaches below the gum line and treats gum disease instead. Dr. Brammeier will recommend which you need based on your gum health.

It's never too late to care for your dental health. Plenty of our patients hadn't seen a dentist in many years, and we work with you without judgment, assessing where things stand and building a comfortable, manageable treatment plan.

Preventive care (exams, cleanings, X-rays) is typically covered at 100% by most dental insurance plans, while restorative procedures (fillings, crowns) are usually covered at 50–80%. We work with most insurance providers and offer financing options for any uncovered costs.

Call our office right away. For severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken restorations, and other urgent situations, we offer emergency dental care. That said, if you have uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling affecting breathing, or trauma, head to the nearest emergency room.

Yes! Patients of all ages are welcome here. Regular dental visits should begin by age one or when the first tooth appears. For more about that child-friendly approach, visit our Kids Dentistry page.

Prevention is the best treatment. Stay ahead of problems by scheduling your family's dental exams today.
