Dental Examination
Scaling and Root Planing combined with a strict home care routine and more frequent periodontal cleanings and exams will increase your chances of keeping your natural smile.
X-rays
The following types of dental X-rays are commonly used. The X-rays use small amounts of radiation. •Bitewing X-rays show the upper and lower back teeth and how the teeth touch each other in a single view. These X-rays are used to check for decay between the teeth and to show how well the upper and lower teeth line up. They also show bone loss when severe gum disease or a dental infection is present.

Teeth Cleaning
A few simple steps can help you maintain good oral health throughout your life. Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, and clean between your teeth daily with floss or interdental cleaners. Choose products that carry the ADA Seal of Acceptance, your assurance that the products have met the ADA’s standards for safety and effectiveness. Be sure to see our dentist regularly for exams and professional teeth cleaning.
Fluoride Treatment
For toothaches caused by a tooth abscess the dentist may recommend antibiotic therapy and other treatments, like root canal. To prevent tooth decay, use good oral hygiene. Sealants and fluoride applications by the dentist are important for preventing tooth decay.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants act as a barrier, protecting the teeth against decay-causing bacteria. The sealants are usually applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (premolars and molars) where decay occurs most often. A sealant is a plastic material that is usually applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth-premolars and molars. This plastic resin bonds into the depressions and grooves (pits and fissures) of the chewing surfaces of back teeth. The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids.

Fillings
Resin Composite
– Composite fillings As stated, composite fillings are just what the name implies: a mixture of resins and fine particles designed to mimic the color of natural teeth. While not as strong as dental amalgam, composite fillings provide a pleasing aesthetic alternative. Sometimes composite resins need to be cemented or bonded to a tooth to allow for better adhesion.
Veneers
Are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. Veneers may be necessary because of spaces between the teeth, broken or chipped teeth, unsightly, stained or washed out fillings, permanently stained or discolored teeth, dark yellow or stained teeth.
Crowns
• Periapical X-rays show the entire tooth, from the exposed crown to the end of the root and the bones that support the tooth. These X-rays are used to find dental problems below the gum line or in the jaw, such as tumors, and bone changes linked to some diseases.
Bridges
A fixed bridge is used to replace one or several teeth. The teeth on each end of the space is used to as anchors (abutments). Bridges are not removable by the patient. The restoration can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.
Dental Bonding
Bleaching agents actually change the color of your teeth, but only are effective on certain types of stains. For example, bleaching agents have a difficult time removing brownish or grayish stains. These products also are not as effective on pitted or badly discolored teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding and tooth-colored fillings (porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be more appropriate in this case).

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal (Endodontic) treatment is necessary when the soft inner tissue of the tooth, the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling involves a deep cleaning of the tooth above and below the gum line in order remove any plaque and calculus that has accumulated on the tooth.

Dentures
Recent surveys show that ninety percent of adults have, on average, 23.5 teeth. Almost a third of adults have all 28 teeth, and fifty percent age 55 and older wear partial or complete dentures. But whether caring for original teeth or dentures, seniors face a range of special oral concerns, including root decay and periodontal disease. You can keep your smile healthy by following a routine of proper oral care and making regular visits to our dentist.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
The practice of Riverdale Dental Care provides quality dentistry for people of all ages. A full range of services is provided, including cosmetic, preventive, restorative, orthodontic, reconstructive, and oral surgery. Everything possible is done to teach our patients the way to make a dental appointment easier on themselves including the use of sedation dentistry. Our practice prides itself on thorough patient education, quality patient service, gentle treatment methods, and well trained staff.
Jaw Surgery
With jaw surgery, rubber bands, tiny wires, metal braces, screws or plates are often used to keep a fractured jaw in place following surgery. This allows the bone to heal and stay in proper alignment. Dental splints or dentures may also be required to supplement the healing process following jaw surgery.
Gum Surgery
Gum surgery may be needed in conjunction with another procedure, or may be used on its own to correct a problem and improve the patient’s appearance.
Maxillofacial Surgery
If a traumatic injury involves a broken facial bone such as the jaw, nose, chin or cheek, maxillofacial surgery may be required.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction procedures today are far less painful than ever before, thanks to powerful anesthetics and sedatives. In many cases, a patient who has tooth pulled experiences little or no discomfort, and only minor bleeding.

Orthodontics
Dr. Gabriel Shalmi’s unique appeal as a doctor comes from his undeniable versatility. He can perform any modern dental procedure, ranging from cosmetic dentistry involving veneers, tooth-colored fillings, porcelain crowns, and bleaching to root canal therapy, orthodontics and oral surgery.
Invisalign Orthodontics
That’s why Invisalign was developed. While not braces at all, Invisalign is a small tray custom designed to the contours of your mouth that attempts to straighten your teeth much like braces would, but remain invisible and easy to remove. For instance, when you place the Invisalign system in your mouth it immediately goes to work straightening your teeth...and you’ll feel it. But, if you have a presentation, a big date, or a meal, you can easily remove the system and joy these activities with your normal exposed teeth.
Braces
Treatment may take a little longer for adults. Because an adult’s facial bones are no longer growing, certain corrections may not be accomplished with braces alone. The average treatment time is about 24 months and varies with individual patients.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening. Teeth whitening can be performed to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth. The term “teeth whitening” can refer to a number of techniques to improve the brightness of the patient’s teeth. Among them are chemical whitening, mild acid whitening, abrasive teeth brightening and the newest technique, laser teeth whitening.
