Thomas P. Shortell DDS

Dental Examination
Oral appliance therapy is the leading treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, and Dr. Shortell is certified to perform this treatment. He will choose the appropriate therapy for you based on your medical history, oral exam, and personal needs.
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque consists of masses of bacteria that grow between and on teeth, at and below the gum line. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing.
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a thin, plastic-like material applied to the chewing surfaces of a child's permanent first and second molars. The sealant fills the grooves and depressions of the tooth preventing cavity-causing buildup. Sealants can help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of a tooth.

Fillings
Amalgam (silver) fillings are a conservative choice and are also well-tolerated. However, due to their dark color, they are more noticeable than composite restorations and are not recommended for fillings in very visible areas. Amalgam fillings generally last longer than composite restorations.
Resin Composite
The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. Because of that, the direct technique is usually referred to as bonding.
Veneers
Veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure in which a thin layer of porcelain or composite material is cemented or placed over the outside of your tooth.
Crowns
Fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays...these are all common procedures used to increase the strength and function of your teeth when damage has occurred. Our advanced restorative services will strengthen your smile and improve functionality.
Bridges
A bridge is one or more artificial teeth that are cemented into place using the real teeth on either side for support--hence the name.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy, is used to save an infected or damaged tooth and avoid having to remove it.

Deep Cleaning
Periodontal treatment typically involves containing the bacteria through deep cleaning. This deep cleaning consists of scaling and root planning which clears the bacterial buildup along the root of the teeth. We also suggest specific toothpastes and mouth rinses. In severe cases, we may refer you to the care of a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in gum care.

Dentures
Made of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, partials help restore better functionality to the mouth. As with complete dentures, it is possible to have more permanent option cemented into place.
Overdentures
An overdenture is used when a patient no longer has teeth remaining in their mouth but enough bone in their jaw to support implants. Overdentures snap into place on top of implants but can be removed for cleaning.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth for reasons like injury or periodontal disease.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
IV sedation is commonly referred to as “sleep dentistry” it will be as if you fell asleep, and you won’t remember the procedure. A specific set of drugs are administered via IV for the duration of the procedure or procedures, and you will be carefully monitored to ensure your safety. Often reserved for oral surgery, IV sedation is also available to those with intense dental anxiety and phobia. It makes dentistry easy.
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
Invisalign Orthodontics
The Invisalign® system begins in the dentist or orthodontist’s office with taking molds to design your trays. Patients switch trays every two weeks to gradually shift the teeth. The system requires a visit to the office every six weeks so that treatment can be monitored. Once treatment is complete, a patient will likely be given a retainer to maintain the smile.
Braces
The system includes brackets, arch wires and elastic ties but with clear or white ties and tooth colored wires. The brackets and ties are practically invisible at a normal speaking distance and are highly effective in correcting esthetic issues. This system is not useful for correcting bite issues or skeletal problems but does a fantastic job aligning teeth for maximum comfort and ease of flossing and brushing. Friends and family will barely notice you’re wearing braces!

Teeth Whitening
Laser dentistry is the latest advancement in dental technology, treating a wide range of dental and cosmetic problems from cavities to gum disease to teeth whitening.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We seek to stay up to date on the best cosmetic dentistry available to deliver your best look. Our team has training to provide you a variety of cosmetic options.
