Our $49 New Patient Special includes a comprehensive dental exam and x-rays. Your Primary Dental dentist will consult with you on a dental treatment plan based on your individual needs.
X-rays
We use dental x-rays to further evaluate your teeth and make sure you receive the dental care you need. Dental x-rays allow us to see what is going on “below the surface”. With an x-ray we are able to detect cavities that may not be visible on the outside surface of a tooth. X-rays also allow us to see the root of the tooth and the supporting bone structure as well as the gum tissues. The frequency of x-rays taken depends on your current oral health, your age, your risk for disease, and any signs and symptoms of oral disease. The dentist will review your dental history, examine your mouth and then decide whether or not x-rays are needed.
A: The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums. It’s unnecessary to “scrub” the teeth as long as you are brushing at least twice a day and visiting your dentist at least twice a year for dental cleanings and checkups.

Dental Sealants
A sealant is a preventive dental treatment that is typically recommended for children but can also be used for adults. A dental sealant is made of an opaque, tooth-colored resin material that is painted onto the chewing surface of a tooth. Teeth used for chewing, the molars and premolars, often have deep grooves and pits on the chewing surface that are sometimes hard to keep clean. A dental sealant forms a smooth surface over these pits and grooves, effectively blocking out cavity-causing bacteria from accumulating on them.
A dental filling is most commonly used to restore a tooth with a cavity, but may also be used to repair broken or cracked teeth. There are two main types of filling material used today: composite (white or tooth-colored) and amalgam (silver). Most dentists use composite fillings exclusively for aesthetic reasons as well as health concerns over the heavy metals used in amalgam fillings.
Veneers
Veneers are very thin shells, typically made of porcelain or resin, that are bonded to your teeth to improve the look of your smile. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice because the translucence and color of porcelain are a great match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Porcelain is also stain-resistant, ensuring a beautiful smile for many years.
Crowns
A dental crown is a restoration that may be used for several dental conditions. Most commonly, a crown is used to restore a tooth that has been damaged or decayed to a point that a
Bridges
Dental bridges are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. If you are missing a tooth, or multiple teeth in a row, a dental bridge may be recommended by our experienced dentist in Wheat Ridge. Missing teeth in your mouth is a serious issue. Teeth are meant to work together and when one or more is missing the surrounding teeth can tilt or drift into the open space.
Dental Bonding
There is an easy solution to fix a chipped tooth called cosmetic bonding. Your dentist can use this process to restore your smile and chipped tooth to their natural look. While tooth bonding can’t compare to the strength of your natural teeth, it does come very close to it. Help restore your smile with professional dental services from Primary Dental.
Endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy, treats the inside of the tooth. The dentists at Primary Dental, in Denver Colorado, are specialists in this area of treatment.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is a condition primarily caused by the bacteria found in plaque. This bacteria can inflame and infect the gum tissues which will eventually cause the gums to pull away from the teeth. In the initial stages, it is called gingivitis and only the gums are infected. If this is not appropriately addressed and treated it can travel below the gum line and into the bone. Severe cases that are left untreated can cause bone loss, tooth loss, and permanent gum recession.
A denture is a removable dental appliance that serves as a replacement for missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth and may also enhance your smile.
A dental implant is a great option for replacing missing teeth. It is designed to function, look, and feel like your natural teeth. Dental implants can take longer and cost more, initially, than other replacement options. But often, dental implants are a better value because they are designed to last a lifetime — and with proper care, they can.
When treating periodontal disease, the goal is to control the infection. Your treatment will be based upon your specific dental needs as well as the severity of the problem. Typical treatment includes professional dental cleanings, improved personal oral hygiene, scaling or root planing (deep cleaning done with a local anesthetic), antibiotic treatment, or gum surgery.
