Dental Examination
Regular dental exams, professional cleanings, and good oral hygiene practices at home are essential to detecting and strategically managing periodontitis.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Next, a full-mouth series of x-rays and a comprehensive oral exam of your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw will be performed, including a non-invasive oral cancer screening.

Teeth Cleaning
Not all dental cleanings are created equal. Find out why to some hygiene appointments cost more than others and learn how you can save time and money in the dental chair.
Dental Sealants
Sealants can dramatically reduce the number of cavities a child might develop over the course of their childhood. On the chewing surface of molars, deep grooves run into the center of the teeth. Under a microscope, these crevices might look like a deep canyon. In fact, most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but wide enough for bacteria to hide. It's easy to see how cavities can form in such a perfect hideout.

Fillings
Cavities and small fractures can cause much larger issues if left untreated. In the past, metal restorations called amalgam fillings (or silver fillings) served a need but left many teeth discolored and strained from the wedging effect of the metal. Today, tooth-colored composite resins blend into the tooth structure and are chemically bonded to the tooth providing a strong, permanent restoration.
Resin Composite
Veneers
An advanced dental restorative system creates a precision-milled crown, veneer or bridge in minutes right in-office, during the same appointment.
Crowns
Modern anesthetics provide powerful numbing for gentle removal of the inflamed nerve inside the tooth. The nerve canal undergoes disinfection and careful shaping, and a sealer fills the internal space. A filling or crown over the tooth helps return the tooth to its original function.
Bridges
Whenever you cruise across a bridge over the water, you're being supported by the same principles that hold a dental bridge. Crowned teeth on either side of a space are called abutments. They support an artificial tooth, called a pontic. While a bridge lasts for many years, sometimes the strain of supporting one or more missing teeth can cause the abutments themselves to weaken and may lead to more missing teeth.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
We know it's not always easy for you to sort through the complicated possibilities. The doctors' background in restorative dentistry allows them to develop solutions for every scenario.

Root Canal Treatment
A deep cavity can give bacteria access to the inner nerve bundle. In some cases, a significant infection, called an abscess, may develop in your jaw without any symptoms at all. If the doctors determine that the nerve won't recover or if an infection is present, then root canal therapy may be suggested.

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Dentures are an affordable way to replace any number of missing teeth in your mouth. They have a long history of success and continue to earn a place in the list of options for rebuilding your smile.

Dental Implants
If bone shrinks away from your teeth, it never grows back. In some cases, bone can be encouraged to fill in with grafting materials placed by the doctors. Every situation presents a different scenario, but more options than ever exist to promote bone repair in the jaw. For example, when a tooth needs removal, a large hole then exists in the bone. While it will fill eventually fill in naturally, the site tends to shrink, drawing bone away from the area jeopardizing surrounding teeth. Grafting materials can be placed at the time of tooth removal to help preserve the existing bone level. Bone grafts are especially beneficial if you are like considering an implant-supported restoration in the future.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Despite your best efforts, teeth sometimes need to be removed to protect your health. When we've discussed all other possibilities, and you've decided on extraction, we'll take every step to help you. Your well-being always takes priority in any treatment decision. Some patients prefer sedation to help with oral surgery, and we can review these options in your treatment plan. You can trust we take every measure to make sure even minor surgical procedures are as comfortable as possible.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Daifallah received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and completed his residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery. He currently serves as an assistant professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine and Dentistry and is involved in the clinical and academic instruction of oral and maxillofacial surgery residents and students. Dr. Daifallah is working towards Fellowship in Facial Cosmetic Surgery at Kansas City Surgical Arts Center.
Tooth Extractions
Bone Grafting
The bone around your teeth is special and doesn't regenerate when it's lost. Your teeth rely on this bony foundation to remain stable and functional, and even small defects can compromise your ability to maintain a tooth. Sometimes we can repair these defects by adding bone grafting materials.

Orthodontics
A variety of tooth and jaw issues can be resolved through orthodontics. The doctors may point out that your child's baby teeth appear crowded, or the relationship between the upper lower teeth isn't ideal. While it’s not generally a time for treatment, it may help you prepare for the possibility of future corrective care. As permanent teeth start to appear, usually around age 6, the doctors monitor the process further and helps you decide if early orthodontic treatment makes sense.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign brings stealth straightening to you with thin, invisible trays. Summit Dental Group’s experience puts a stunning smile in easy reach.
Braces
Using continuous pressure over a series of trays, you can see results faster and with less discomfort than traditional braces. Plus, no brackets and wires mean no sore spots on your cheeks, lips and tongue.

Teeth Whitening
Sometimes a new smile emerges from the simplest steps. Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate dull white enamel surfaces. A brilliant boost along with some gentle polishing and reshaping of chipped, uneven edges can create an easy transformation. Simple and safe, most patients don't realize how much discoloration embeds into their teeth until they see a new shine emerge.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Smiles matter, probably more than we realize. Volumes of research confirm the influential role of smiles in our relationships and our self-esteem. If you're confident, you smile more. If you smile more, you feel more confident. But what if you don't want to flash those pearly whites because you're embarrassed? The effects of a bad smile may ripple through your life. Fortunately, a growing range of options enables anyone to enjoy a stunning new smile. The doctors’ passion for enhancing smiles brings you the best in modern dentistry.
General Dentistry
Dr. Nellor grew up in Baldwin City, Kansas, and received her undergraduate degree in business administration from MidAmerican Nazarene University and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry. She completed her Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency through the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
