A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will include the following...
X-rays
Initially, the dentist will thoroughly examine the affected area in order to assess the general condition of the teeth and gums. If periodontal disease is present or the adjacent teeth are in poor condition, these factors will be fully addressed before the bone grafting procedure can begin. The dentist will also recommend panoramic x-rays in order to assess the precise depth and width of the existing bone. On occasion, a CAT scan may be recommended to determine the bone condition. Depending on these results, the dentist may also anesthetize the area and explore into the gum in order to determine what kind and how much bone is required.
Oral Cancer Screening
Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile.

Fluoride Treatment
Although most people receive fluoride from food and water, sometimes it is not enough to help prevent decay. Your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend the use of home and/or professional fluoride treatments for the following reasons...
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and are very susceptible to decay. A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Bridges
Dental Bridge: If you are missing multiple teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge may be the ideal solution for you. Instead of using the adjoining teeth as anchors, this solution uses two dental implants to secure your new prosthetic.
At Felton Dental Center, we understand how challenging it can be to find a dentist that can give each member of your family the dental care they deserve. Our staff, led by Dr. Jono Reksoatmodjo, prides itself on providing age-appropriate dental treatments and procedures for children, seniors, and everyone in between. Whether you're bringing your child in for their first dental checkup or require root canal therapy for yourself, you can trust us for all your dental needs.
We recognize that adults and seniors face their own dental complications, and we work hard to get to the bottom of any problems. Adults face a number of age-related complications that often arise later in life, like tooth loss, decay, and damage. Our team will respond to these conditions using the latest technologies to maximize your comfort and help ensure quality and durability. Besides regular checkups and maintenance services such as deep cleaning and routine exams, we offer a broad range of restorative procedures to rejuvenate your smile, restoring your oral health and functionality.
Partial and Full Dentures: Should you have a few remaining healthy teeth or are missing all your teeth in your upper or lower jaws, we offer partial and full implant-supported dentures. Your new dentures will fit securely to your new implant posts so that you won't have to worry about them slipping.
A missing tooth can alter your appearance and affect the functionality of your bite. At Felton Dental Center, our dentist uses durable, natural-looking dental implants to restore your smile. We provide excellent services with the latest dental technologies and tools to offer premium care to all of our patients.
Tooth Extraction – Studies have shown that patients who have experienced a tooth extraction subsequently lose 40-60% of the bone surrounding the extraction site during the following three years. Loss of bone results in what is called a “bone defect”.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a highly successful procedure in most cases. It is also a preferable alternative to having missing teeth, diseased teeth, or tooth deformities. Bone grafting can increase the height or width of the jawbone and fill in voids and defects in the bone.
A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
