Dental Examination
Whether your dental needs include a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, our staff at Modern Family Dentistry promises to provide exceptional care to enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Your oral health is our first priority, and we'll be sure to provide stunning results that will give you something to smile about.
X-rays
Diagnostic x-rays, or radiographs, such as bitewings x-rays, panoramic x-rays, periapical x-rays, and intraoral complete x-rays are all important in identifying problems not visible to the naked eye. Sometimes, infection and decay are not able to be diagnosed by simply looking at tooth surfaces. Diagnostic x-rays can help the doctor see areas between and within the teeth and gums that have begun to deteriorate as a result of bacterial infection.

Teeth Cleaning
For your periodic teeth cleanings, you will see a dental hygienist. Your dental hygienist will first examine your teeth and gums for any signs of inflammation or sensitivity. If they suspect you have periodontal disease, they may refer you to a local periodontist. The two main instruments a hygienist will use to clean a patient’s teeth are a mouth mirror and a scaler. The mouth mirror is used to help your hygienist see all the plaque and tartar build-up and the scaler is used to efficiently remove the build-up. If there is quite a bit of calculus, your dental hygienist will use an ultrasonic scaler to get it off. An ultrasonic scaler vibrates so it helps more easily penetrate the calculus. Once all the plaque is removed, your hygienist will polish your teeth to remove any stains and biofilm.
Fluoride Treatment
It is highly recommended to get a fluoride treatment after your hygienist finishes in order to keep your teeth strong and keep bacteria at bay. Fluoride combines with calcium and phosphate to create fluorapatite – a strong compound that helps fight decay better than the three elements do on their own.
Dental Sealants
We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, but we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Fillings
Resin Composite fillings are composed of a plastic and ceramic compound. They are necessary when teeth develop decay and penetrate the tooth. Composite fillings are a better alternative to Amalgam (mixed metal) for various reasons. First, they are tooth-colored so they are not noticeable to the naked eye. Second, they bind to the surface of the tooth easily compared to amalgam fillings. This means that more of the natural tooth is preserved with composite fillings, maintaining a stronger foundation for the filling to attach to. Lastly, composite fillings are safer for more of the population than amalgam fillings are. Amalgam fillings contain mercury; although this poses no risks to the general population, some patients have shown to be allergic or sensitive to it. At our practice, we use resin composite fillings in order to give our patients strong, functional teeth and a beautiful smile.
Resin Composite
This is a process that is only recommended for minor imperfections on teeth that are not subjected to a lot of biting pressure. Chipped or gapped front teeth would be ideal areas of application. Bonding involves preparing a tooth and then applying a composite resin, a substance that mimics the properties and aesthetic of a natural tooth.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are similar to crowns in composition, but they only cover the front surface of the tooth as opposed to the entire tooth. They are applied mainly to front teeth that are visible when smiling. The tooth is usually filed down so that the veneer can easily attach and blend in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. Patients who are not satisfied with their natural smile due to imperfections may consider porcelain veneers as a cosmetic treatment option.
Crowns
When the structure of a tooth can no longer be preserved by a filling as a result of too much decay, crowns are the next restorative measure. The infection is first removed completely and a large filling, referred to as a core build up, is inserted to serve as the crown's foundation. A mold of the build-up is taken so that the crown can be created to fit perfectly in place. Another type of crown we are able to place is an implant crown. An implant crown is placed on top of an implant, which is essentially a screw that is anchored into the patient's jaw and holds the implant crown in place. We do not place implants at our office, but we do refer our patients to reliable oral surgeons to place implants before we deliver their implant crowns.
Bridges
Dental bridges are a more affordable alternative to implants. They are suggested when a patient has one or two missing teeth in between two of their natural teeth. Bridges are made up of two kinds of prosthetic teeth; pontics and abutments. A pontic, also referred to as a "floating tooth", is a false tooth that fills the place of a missing tooth. An abutment is the part of the bridge that attaches to the pontic and holds it in place. This tooth is usually a crown that is cemented onto the patient's natural tooth. All of our bridges are made of porcelain/ceramic and made to match your natural teeth.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a procedure involving the complete removal of infection inside of a tooth root. Sometimes, infection from the root canal can spread past the base of the root into the gum and cause an abscess. The doctor must drill a hole at the top of the tooth in order to access the canal and drain all of the infection out. Once the canal is drained and irrigated, it is filled with gutta percha. Gutta percha is a naturally occurring form of latex found in certain trees. It is strongly advised for patients to get a crown after a root canal. Following root canal treatment, the tooth is very fragile, sensitive, and prone to re-infection. A crown will provide a shield of protection and will preserve your natural tooth for years to come.

Dentures
Celeste has an early background in dentistry. At the age of 19 she began her career in dentistry as an assistant at Affordable Dentures. Celeste decided to delve into the administrative assisting side of dentistry upon joining Modern Family Dentistry. In her free time, Celeste enjoys spending time with her son, boating & visiting the beach.

Dental Implants
A partial denture and a denture are a singular prosthetic piece that replaces multiple to all of a patient’s teeth. This treatment is a more affordable alternative to getting dental implants. They are removable pieces that allow a patient to eat and speak with more ease. They also restore a patient’s smile, which can be a very powerful tool capable of bringing joy and confidence to a patient. A partial denture replaces some teeth while a complete denture replaces all teeth. Teeth that are still healthy or restorable will act as a foundation for partial dentures to attach to. Both prosthetics require the extraction of decayed teeth to make room for their placement. After extraction sites have healed, the doctor will take impressions of the patient’s gums that will act as the mold for the partial denture or denture. The impressions are then sent off to a lab where the personalized prosthetic piece is made and safely mailed back to the patient’s dental office. You can be assured you’ll have a beautiful, ever-lasting smile if you decide to get dentures at our dental office!

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
An extraction is the process of pulling a tooth due to various reasons. Usually, if a tooth has too much decay for it to be saved, the doctor will decide an extraction is the best route. If a patient’s wisdom teeth are causing them pain, wisdom teeth extractions are done as well. If a patient has crowded teeth and is about to get braces, some of these teeth may be extracted to create room for the rest to shift around in. If a patient decides they want a full denture, any remaining teeth must be extracted to make room for the prosthetic to be placed. Sometimes, extractions may be too complicated, in which case the general dentist will refer patients to an oral surgeon since they specialize in oral surgery. We refer patients to reliable oral surgeons in our area so they can be rest assured, they are in good hands.

Braces
SureSmile aligners, also referred to as "invisible braces" or "clear braces". Are a more practical, affordable and discreet alternative to regular braces. They work to gradually shift and ultimately straighten your teeth. Straight teeth are beneficial for several reasons...

Teeth Whitening
This is an in-office teeth whitening treatment that gives patients a brilliant, white smile in only one session! Patients must first complete any necessary restorations before proceeding with whitening treatment. This treatment involves the application of a whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide, followed by exposure to UV blue light in four 15-minute intervals. The hydrogen peroxide whitening agent breaks down a thin salivary layer above the enamel called the pellicle. The pellicle provides protection from acidic decomposition so removing it allows the whitening agent to penetrate the enamel and whiten it as much as possible without causing damage. This is only a temporary removal; the pellicle forms again several hours later. Heat emitted by the UV light helps expedite the whitening process, giving patients fast whitening results in a matter of minutes. This treatment can make patients’ teeth up to 8 shades whiter! It is important to continue whitening at home in order to maintain the level of brightness and whiteness achieved after ZOOM. As part of your ZOOM treatment, patients get whitening trays to take home with them and they can purchase the home whitening gel in our office whenever they’d like. Call our Hanahan office or North Charleston office for more information about our in-office ZOOM Whitening treatment.
