Dr. Nafeesa Sheikh Dentistry

Professional Cleanings, Gum Treatment and Preventative Services
Our philosophy is to detect any problems early so that you can avoid costly and extensive dental treatment. Preventative control of plaque and calculus will not only decrease the chances that you develop tooth decay, but it will also increase the chances that you will keep your teeth healthy for life.

Research has shown there is an association between oral disease and other health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, respiratory illness in older adults, as well as pre-term and low-birth-weight babies. Although researchers are just beginning to understand this relationship, evidence shows that oral disease can aggravate other health problems and that keeping a healthy mouth is an important part of leading a healthy life.

 

Root Canal Treatment:
Root canal therapy has often been viewed as an uncomfortable procedure when in reality, that is not the case. Root canal treatment can be performed comfortably and it allows you to keep a tooth that would otherwise have to be removed. It is highly recommended to follow up with a crown after root canal treatment in order to protect the treated tooth from cracking or breaking in the future.

 

Tooth Extractions
Although our goal is to help you keep your teeth for a lifetime, sometimes the best or only possible treatment is extraction of a tooth. In such a situation, our goal is to provide a safe and painless extraction. Often, we will recommend a treatment to help preserve the bone in the area which makes it possible to place an implant in the future.
