Exams & Cleanings

Even with excellent home care, regular in-office exams and professional cleanings are essential for catching issues early and removing plaque and tartar that brushing alone can't reach. Comprehensive exams include oral cancer screenings, digital X-rays, and a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite.

Crowns and bridges at

Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns restore and protect teeth that are cracked, severely decayed, or weakened after a root canal. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth using connected crowns anchored to neighboring teeth — closing gaps and restoring your ability to chew and smile with confidence.

Fillings & Bonding

Tooth-colored composite fillings restore cavities with a natural appearance, while dental bonding repairs chips, cracks, and discoloration using the same material. Both treatments preserve your tooth structure and blend seamlessly with your smile — no metal required.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, but catching it early makes all the difference. We diagnose and treat every stage — from reversible gingivitis to advanced periodontitis — with deep cleanings, ongoing maintenance, and surgical options when needed to protect your teeth and bone.

Root Canal Therapy

When deep decay or infection reaches the nerve inside your tooth, a root canal saves the tooth by removing the damaged tissue and sealing it. With modern techniques and effective anesthesia, most patients say it feels no different than getting a filling — and it avoids the cost and complexity of tooth extraction and replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients benefit from a dental exam and cleaning every 6 months. Some patients with gum disease or other conditions may need more frequent visits (every 3–4 months). Dr. Brammeier will recommend the schedule that's right for your oral health needs.

A comprehensive exam includes digital X-rays to check for hidden problems, a visual examination of every tooth and the surrounding gums, an oral cancer screening, a bite assessment, and a discussion of any concerns or symptoms you've noticed.

Yes — X-rays reveal problems that can't be seen with the naked eye, including cavities between teeth, bone loss from gum disease, infections at the tooth root, and developing wisdom teeth. Digital X-rays use minimal radiation and are a critical diagnostic tool.

A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from above the gum line and is part of preventive care. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes below the gum line and is a treatment for gum disease. Dr. Brammeier will recommend which you need based on your gum health.

It's never too late to take care of your dental health. We see patients who haven't visited a dentist in many years, and we'll work with you without judgment to assess your current situation and create a comfortable, manageable treatment plan.

Most dental insurance plans cover preventive care (exams, cleanings, X-rays) at 100% and restorative procedures (fillings, crowns) at 50–80%. We work with most insurance providers and offer financing options for uncovered costs.
