Dental Examination
To determine your candidacy, Dr. Markham will perform a thorough oral examination, carefully assessing the health of your teeth, gums, and surrounding structures. Digital x-rays will also be taken to evaluate the health of the bone around the teeth. Dr. Markham will discuss your dental concerns with you in detail, and design a customized treatment plan to address your unique situation.
X-rays
It goes without saying that good dental habits start early, and we strive to make sure that positive dental experiences for your child also start early. In fact, the American Dental Association recommends taking your child to the dentist by their first birthday, or when their first tooth erupts. Most children require basic routine dental care such as exams, dental cleanings, along with dental x-rays only when necessary. And because we use digital x-rays in our office, when we do need to take an x-ray on a child, we are using the lowest level of radiation possible.
Oral Cancer Screening
According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, only 57 percent of those diagnosed with oral cancer will survive past the five-year mark. This is primarily due to the fact that oral cancer is more difficult to treat when it is diagnosed in its later stages. This is why standard oral cancer screenings are so vital to long-term health. Our doctors perform a screening during every routine examination. This simple process typically only takes about five minutes to complete and can save your life.

Teeth Cleaning
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease and is characterized by puffy, red, or swollen gums. Many patients with gingivitis also notice bleeding when they brush and floss. This gum inflammation is caused by plaque deposits that accumulate on the teeth. If plaque is not routinely removed through proper oral hygiene, it can irritate the gums and cause gingivitis. This condition can usually be reversed with regular dental cleanings and proper brushing and flossing.
Fluoride Treatment
Treatments in preventative dentistry help maintain optimal oral health and can save you from requiring more extensive procedures in the future. Professional fluoride treatments are an excellent way to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities and can be especially beneficial for patients with a high risk of developing tooth decay. Fortunately, Dr. Luminita Markham provides fluoride treatments at Maidu Dental. Our family-friendly practice offers preventative procedures to patients of all ages. By investing in your oral health now, you can enjoy a lifetime of benefits.
Dental Sealants
Back teeth such as premolars and molars can have deep pits and grooves on the chewing surfaces. These areas can make it difficult to brush effectively. Therefore, bacteria can become trapped and lead to tooth decay. Fortunately, Dr. Luminita Markham can place dental sealants as a preventative measure at Maidu Dental. Sealants are ultra-thin plastic coatings that can shield teeth from cavity-causing bacteria and help patients maintain optimal oral health.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Overall, routine brushing and flossing should be sufficient for maintaining your new restorations. However, it is important to understand that composite resin can stain. Therefore, it is a good idea to avoid or limit foods and beverages that can stain your teeth. This includes tea, coffee, dark fruit juice, red wine, and berries, among other things. Tobacco products can also cause significant discoloration. Therefore, quitting smoking is an excellent way to preserve your new smile and improve your overall health.
Veneers
Porcelain Veneers: Placed on the front surfaces of the teeth, veneers can conceal a wide array of aesthetic imperfections, including discoloration, chips, fractures, and more.
Crowns
Mild dental damage can typically be repaired with fillings. Moderate or severe damage will need to be addressed with dental crowns. Sometimes called “caps”, dental crowns cover the entire tooth surface to reinforce the weakened structure. In some cases, crowns can offer a cosmetic benefit, as well, as concealing imperfections such as chips, fractures, and discoloration. At Maidu Dental, Dr. Luminita Markham offers dental crowns to help patients achieve a beautiful and healthy smile.
Bridges
Patients who are missing a row of teeth can benefit from a dental bridge. This restoration can be anchored to your adjacent teeth to fill in the space in your smile. Dr. Luminita Markham fabricates and places bridges for our patients at Maidu Dental to restore health, function, and aesthetics. Read on to learn more about the candidacy, treatment process, and benefits of dental bridges.
Dental Bonding
Chipped Teeth: Small chips in the teeth can have a negative impact on your smile. Dental bonding can mask those imperfections and make your smile appear whole again.
Restorative Dentistry
Do you have tooth pain? Are you experiencing issues with your bite? Maybe you have recently lost teeth, and now you have gaps in your smile. The primary purpose of restorative dentistry is to repair and replace damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Our knowledgeable team of doctors at Maidu Dental work together to give our patients comprehensive, compassionate care in one convenient location. No matter what your unique situation, we can design a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.

Root Canal Treatment
Sometimes, infection reaches the pulp of the tooth, due to deep decay, a fracture, or other dental problems. In order to save the tooth from an extraction, root canal therapy can sometimes be performed. During this procedure, the tissues inside the tooth are removed, and are replaced with high-quality dental materials. This process eliminates the source of infection and preserves normal function. Fortunately, Dr. Luminita Markham is an experienced general dentist who can perform this treatment for her patients at Maidu Dental. With over 20 years of experience, she possesses the knowledge and skill necessary to restore and maintain your oral health for years to come.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling and Root Planing: Sometimes called a deep cleaning, this procedure removes debris, bacteria, and plaque deposits from the teeth and smooths the root surfaces to discourage further irritants from reattaching. Local anesthesia will be administered to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Depending on your unique situation, this treatment can be completed in a single visit or multiple appointments.

Dentures
A full traditional denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. This prosthesis rests directly on the gums, and is supported by the underlying jawbone. Depending on a patient’s specific situation, they may require an upper denture, a lower denture, or both. Dentures can be crafted from an array of materials, including acrylic and porcelain. Today’s high-quality dental materials offer a lifelike, natural-looking smile.
Overdentures
All-on-4 Dental Implant: Many patients who are missing several or all of their teeth begin to consider dental implant treatment at some point. Implant overdentures are an excellent choice for those desiring more stability and security. However, patients who are deficient in strong, dense jawbone do not qualify for traditional dental implant treatment. For cases such as this, the All-on-4 treatment concept is a wonderfully effective option. At Maidu Dental, our general dentist – Dr. Luminita Markham – offers this revolutionary treatment for eligible patients.

Dental Implants
We understand that it is hard to find a dentist you can trust, and we work hard every day to provide our patients with dental care they can count on for years to come! We primarily serve the Auburn area, and we want to make your dental experience easy, affordable, and comfortable. We accept multiple dental insurance plans, have flexible hours, and have the expertise of general dentist Dr. Luminita Markham and orthodontist Dr. David Markham. The unique combined skill set of our doctors is great for our patients because most of the care that we provide is directly with...us – in our office. Two of our most asked-about procedures are bone grafts after extractions in preparation for dental implants, and the oral conscious sedation that we provide for our anxious patients.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to save a natural tooth. In the event that a tooth is too damaged for a restoration, it will need to be removed to preserve the health of your other teeth. Dr. Luminita Markham has years of experience in oral surgery, including tooth extractions, and he stays up to date with the latest in technology and techniques so his patients can enjoy comfortable care. She also offers options in sedation dentistry so patients can feel more relaxed during their treatment.
Jaw Surgery
Tooth Extractions
At Maidu Dental, we prefer to save natural teeth whenever possible. Unfortunately, in some cases, tooth extraction is necessary to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Dr. Luminita Markham performs extractions at our practice. She has the experience, skill, and knowledge necessary to provide gentle, conservative care. We also offer options in sedation dentistry for patients who wish to be more comfortable during their treatment.
Bone Grafting
In years past, dentists had to harvest bone grafting material from another part of the body. Fortunately, that is no longer the case. If you have a region of excess bone in the oral cavity, it can be transferred to the deficient area. However, in most cases, the bone grafting material is simply purchased from a bone and tissue bank. Dr. Markham can talk with you about the type of bone she recommends for your procedure.

Orthodontics
Residents looking for the best Newcastle Orthodontics providers can come to our office to get non-surgical solutions. Orthodontists rely on some appliances to gradually move teeth into the proper position and achieve an ideal relationship between your dental structures.
Invisalign Orthodontics
To straighten your teeth with Invisalign, Dr. Markham will provide a set of custom-made aligner trays, which will be changed out about every two weeks. The slight differences in the trays will gradually move your teeth safely and efficiently over time.
Braces
Your smile is one of the first things people notice. For this reason, many people do not want to wear braces, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances that will become the focal point of their appearance. In particular, our teen and adult patients want to be able to participate in school and work activities without feeling self-conscious or worried about their look.

Teeth Whitening
Diet, age, and the passing of time are all factors that contribute to stained, dull, or yellowed teeth. If you are looking for a way to brighten your teeth up to eight shades lighter, professional teeth whitening at Maidu Dental may be the solution for you. Dr. Luminita Markham has over 20 years of experience as a cosmetic dentist, and she can help you determine personalized treatment options to achieve the dazzling smile you desire.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth that are chipped, stained, misshapen, crooked, or even missing can be a thing of the past! At Maidu Dental, we want you to be proud to show off your smile, which is why we offer comprehensive cosmetic dentistry at our practice. Treatments in cosmetic dentistry can address aesthetic concerns and reveal a brighter, whiter, more beautiful smile. Patients desiring a dramatic outcome can combine several treatments into a comprehensive smile makeover procedure. Dr. Luminita Markham and our team make sure every step of your treatment plan is executed to perfection. The result: a beautiful, functional, long-lasting smile!
General Dentistry
Dr. Luminita Markham has over 20 years of experience in cosmetic and general dentistry, and she offers veneers for patients at Maidu Dental who are seeking to bring optimal aesthetics to their smiles.
