Thorough, gentle removal of plaque and tartar
Professional Dental Cleanings
Routine dental care is vital to oral health. At Louscher Family Dentistry, you’ll enjoy modern dentistry with a personalized touch. Come visit us every six months for a professional dental cleaning where we’ll remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth and gums and send you home with a clean bill of health.
Strengthen your smile with fluoride
Fluoride Varnish
Research indicates that fluoride can reduce cavities in both children and adults by stopping the development of tooth decay. It also helps repair the early stages of tooth decay before the decay becomes visible. Our dentists safely apply fluoride varnish to your teeth to prevent cavities and strengthen enamel.
Reduce your risk of oral cancer with regular screenings
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer affects tens of thousands of Americans every year. As with most cancers, early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Trusted dentists, like Dr. Louscher, Dr. Brantner, and Dr. Merideth, are your first line of defense against oral cancer. They regularly evaluate your oral health and use both visualization and palpation techniques to check for any potential abnormalities. Gain the peace of mind that comes with a regular oral cancer screening. With the help of the latest dental technology, even a diagnosis of oral cancer can be successfully treated through early detection.
Sealants to keep kids’ smiles happy and healthy
Dental Sealants
Sealants are used to fill in the narrow grooves in a tooth that cannot be adequately cleaned by brushing. Similar to fluoride, dental sealants help prevent tooth decay, strengthen developing teeth, and provide long-lasting protection against acids and bacteria. Treatment is a fast, easy, and painless process where we apply a thin, plastic coating to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.
General Dental Services to Enhance Your Smile
Build a Strong Foundation
General dentistry at Louscher Family Dentistry goes beyond appearances, helping to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. We’re all about creating a solid foundation for a beautiful smile that will last a lifetime.
Support Your Oral Health
General dental treatments at our practice are designed not only to improve the look of your smile but also to contribute to the overall health of your teeth and gums. Why prepare for bigger dental issues when you can prevent them altogether?
Repair and Restore Your Teeth
Address damage from decay or wear and bring your teeth back to their natural state so you can enjoy a smile that looks as good as it feels. With general dentistry services from Louscher Family Dentistry, you won’t be able to stop smiling.
Protect Your Overall Health
With professional dental cleanings, we help you achieve a healthier smile. And a healthy smile means less inflammation and reduced overall health risks.
Natural-looking fillings for long-lasting tooth repair
Fillings
Fillings are used to replace tooth material removed due to decay or damage and restore the affected area. Today, most fillings are made from tooth-colored composite resin, which blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. However, amalgam fillings are an additional type of dental filling we offer that is made from a mixture of various metals. They are strong and durable as well, making them a popular choice for filling large cavities in areas not visible when you smile. Our dentists can help you weigh the pros and cons of the different dental filling options.
We make root canal treatments as comfortable and painless as possible
Root Canals
A root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is necessary when damage or infection reaches the tooth pulp, causing nerve damage. Signs to watch for include sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth pain, swelling in the jaw, pain when biting or chewing, and a bad taste in your mouth. During a root canal, your dentist will remove the compromised tissue, clean the canals, and then seal them to help prevent future infection.
Bringing strength and beauty back to your smile
Dental Crowns
Think of a dental crown as a protective cover for your tooth. Crowns are custom-made and cover a damaged or weakened tooth to both protect it and make it look better. Crowns can restore chipped, broken, and gapped teeth. We use a mix of digital and traditional impressions and often make our crowns out of porcelain to resemble your natural-looking teeth in shape and color.
Gentle care for a healthier smile
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth due to severe tooth decay, impacted wisdom teeth, gum disease, needed orthodontic treatment, injury, or trauma. We can remove the troublesome tooth and give you treatment options for replacing it to start you on the path toward renewed dental health.
Helping you reclaim gum health for a happier smile
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy focuses on treating gum disease and other gum-related issues. Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and the bone structure that supports your teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to jawbone and tooth loss. If you have symptoms such as red, swollen, or bleeding gums, it is important to see your dentist for an evaluation and proper treatment. Periodontal therapy can help you regain your oral health and prevent tooth loss.
Protect your smile with comfort customized just for you
Custom-Made Nightguards and Mouth Guards
If you wake up with sore jaw muscles or chipped teeth, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth during sleep. This harmful habit can lead to serious dental damage, including cracked or broken teeth. Our team will create a custom-fitted nightguard that provides comfortable and effective protection. You may also find that a nightguard prevents headaches that result from tooth-grinding pressure.
Speaking of protection, mouth guards are a great way to reduce athletic stress and defend your or your child’s teeth and jaws against sports-related injuries. Mouth guards are easy to clean and are custom-made to fit comfortably.
Taking the stress out of dental visits
Nitrous Oxide
Our team will always make sure you feel as comfortable as possible at every visit. Even so, we understand if you tend to feel a little uneasy visiting the dentist, especially if it’s been a while since you’ve been in or if you had an unpleasant childhood experience elsewhere. For this reason, we offer nitrous oxide, which is a mild sedative also known as “laughing gas.” You simply breathe the nitrous oxide through a special nosepiece, and it helps relax you to keep you feeling calm stress-free throughout your appointment.
