Dental Examination
Radiographs, which are the images produced by x-rays, are a crucial aspect of a dental exam and treatment plan. Radiographs show much that we cannot see: Cavities between the teeth, abscesses and infections, the bone surrounding teeth, and lots of other information. Dr. Wagner needs radiographs of each patient at Smiles By Rosie. Here is a good link from the American Dental Association's website regarding dental x-rays.
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
During a dental cleaning (often called a prophylaxis, or "prophy" ), the dentist or hygienist will use a variety of instruments to clean a patient's teeth. Depending on the amount of care that is needed to keep teeth clean and free of periodontal disease, patients may get a prophylaxis every 3, 4, or 6 months.

Fillings
Crowns
A crown is a "shell" — usually made of a gold alloy, porcelain, or a combination of the two — that is cemented over a tooth that has been reshaped to accommodate the crown. Crowns are sometimes called "caps".
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
To describe what happens during root canal treatment, it helps to first explain about the pulp of a tooth. There are three major components to a tooth: enamel (the thin outer shell), dentin (the majority of a tooth) and pulp, which is in the center of each tooth and comprises the nerves and blood vessels. The pulp is living, vital tissue, and is necessary to give feedback about pressure, pain, and sensation. Though pulp is beneficial, teeth are able to remain in place without any pulp because of the calcified component of dentin and enamel.

Periodontal Surgery
Deep Cleaning
Periodontal surgery is sometimes required if a patient has gum pockets too deep to reach with regular scaling. Surgery can also be done to correct or reverse periodontitis. During this procedure, small incisions are made in the gingiva to get access to all tooth structure. After the deep cleaning, the gum is sutured back together, and patients can usually return to regular cleanings and scaling. Ideally, treatment of periodontitis may help to reduce the height of the gum pockets so that all areas are accessible.

Dentures
Removable dentures are used to replace missing teeth. Complete dentures are used on "edentulous" patients, or those with no teeth. They are almost always fabricated from various types of acrylic, and take between 5-8 visits to the dentist to complete the fittings and follow-up appointments.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium cylinder that is placed in the bone where a tooth's root used to be. This is done as a surgical procedure where the gum is reflected back, a small amount of bone is removed and the implant is placed. After placement, the implant needs to rest for 3-6 months for the bone around it to adapt to the shape of the implant. A small healing cap might be placed, or the gum can be stitched back over it. If the implant is in a visible area, your dentist can suggest temporary tooth replacement for this healing period.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
She then continued her dental education by completing a general practice residency at the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. During her residency, Dr. Wagner obtained extensive experience treating patients from a variety of backgrounds and medical histories, including patients with special needs. She performed oral rehabilitation cases in the operating room, completed rotations in oral surgery, general anesthesia, and temporomandibular disorders, served as on-call dentist for Tufts Medical Center, and maintained her own group of comprehensive care patients.
Tooth Extractions
After a tooth extraction, it is very important to follow post-operative instructions to care for the extraction site. If the patient desires to replace the missing tooth, there are several options such as dentures, implants, and bridges.
