Dental Examination
X-rays
Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor. One advantage of digital radiography is that it uses up to 90% less radiation than traditional dental x-rays. These digital x-rays can be sent electronically to any specialist or insurance company on your behalf. Digital x-rays use no chemicals for developing or processing (environmentally friendly).

Teeth Cleaning
Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. There are numerous disease entities requiring different treatment approaches. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in genetically susceptible individuals. Daily brushing and flossing will prevent most periodontal conditions. Periodontal cleanings are necessary for patients who have a known history of periodontal disease, and need to be followed and their teeth professionally cleaned usually on a three or four month frequency.
Dental Sealants
Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids. We highly recommend sealants to protect permanent molars after they have fully erupted (around ages 6 and 12 years) as well sealing the bicuspids.

Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are undeniable proof that science can be artfully applied to cosmetic dentistry. No longer will feel uncomfortable with gold and silver amalgam fillings. Now you can smile with confidence as you show off your perfectly blended tooth-colored fillings.
Resin Composite
A dental filling is a restorative procedure that helps repair cracks, fractures or decay on your teeth. Fillings are also used to change the size and shape of your teeth and protect them from further damage. There are different types of materials used in dental fillings such as gold, silver and composite resin. Composite resin is now favored over the other types because it can resemble the natural color of your teeth.
Veneers
Bonding is an alternative to veneers and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or to close spaces between misarranged or misaligned teeth.
Crowns
Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has been revolutionizing many industries, including dentistry. Remember when it used to take two separate appointments to get a dental crown? Even just a few years ago, patients had to endure mouthfuls of messy impression materials and wearing temporaries for weeks at a time. Now, with our Cerec system, it is all a thing of the past!
Bridges
A bridge — a device used to replace missing teeth — attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges), or they can be removable.
Dental Bonding
Teeth are susceptible to damage and flaws, just like any other part of the body. If you have stains, chips, or gaps, you might feel self-conscious about your smile. We are here to tell you that you don’t have to anymore. Thanks to our cosmetic treatments like teeth veneers and dental bonding, you can have these flaws covered up and protected.
Restorative Dentistry
Thanks to the latest generation of dental anesthetics, we can numb your mouth quickly and painlessly before your treatment. At Horton & Vranas D.D.S, we understand the connection between oral health and overall health. To keep your smile healthy, we offer a variety of restorative dentistry services to repair damaged teeth and replace missing teeth...

Root Canal Treatment
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases.

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Dentures – To restore your oral function and beautiful smile, we can give you a whole new set of pearly whites with custom dentures. We can also replace several adjacent missing teeth with partial dentures.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
After tooth extraction, it’s important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. A 2×2 piece of gauze has been placed to control the bleeding. You should keep biting pressure on the gauze for at least one (1) hour. Slight bleeding or oozing from the extraction site is normal and if it persists, place another gauze pad and bite firmly for another 30 minutes. You may have to do this several times. If you are having a difficult time getting the bleeding to stop you may bite on a Lipton tea bag (wet, non-flavored/non-herbal) for one (1) hour. The tannic acid in the tea will aid in the clotting process. After the blood clot forms, it is important not to disturb or dislodge the clot as it aids healing. Do not rinse vigorously, suck through a straw, smoke, spit, or drink alcohol for 72 hours. These activities will dislodge or dissolve the clot and slow the healing process. You can maintain normal brushing and flossing habits, but be very gentle in the area of the extraction. Limit vigorous exercise for the next 24 hours as this will increase blood pressure and may cause more bleeding from the extraction site. After the tooth is extracted you may feel some pain and experience some swelling and bruising. For the first 24 hours an ice pack can be placed (20 minutes on, then 10 minutes off) or an unopened bag of frozen peas or corn applied to the area will keep swelling to a minimum. After the first 24 hours warm, moist heat is recommended. It is normal to experience discomfort in this area. Over the counter pain medications (ie: Advil, Tylenol, Asprin) will help this subside. The swelling usually subsides after 48 hours. Use any prescribed pain medication as directed. If antibiotics are prescribed, continue to take them for the indicated length of time, even if signs and symptoms of infection are gone. Drink lots of fluid and eat nutritious soft food on the day of the extraction. You can eat normally as soon as you are comfortable. After a few days you will feel fine and can resume your normal activities. If you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, continued swelling for 2-3 days, or a reaction to the medication, call our office immediately at St. Charles Office Phone Number 630-377-1010.
