Braces
Although many orthodontic wearers are teenagers, braces play a role in some children's earlier years. Since permanent teeth are typically larger than baby teeth, a device called a palatal expander may be used to create more room. This allows adult teeth to move into place correctly, helping avoid more extensive treatment later on.
Orthodontics
A variety of tooth and jaw issues can be resolved through orthodontics. The dentist may point out that your child's baby teeth appear crowded or the relationship between the upper and lower teeth isn’t ideal. While treatment doesn’t usually start this young, it may help you prepare for the possibility of future corrective care. As permanent teeth start to appear, usually around age 6, the doctor will monitor the situation and help you decide if early orthodontic treatment is right for your child.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Southport Smiles Dentistry believes your visit should be as comfortable and relaxing as possible. We care about each patient as a whole person, not just their teeth. We pride ourselves on using the latest technology, including the Waterlase and Invisalign clear aligner therapy.

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 doctor. 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 eventually fill in, 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 considering an implant-supported restoration in the future.

Bridges
Whenever you drive across a bridge, you're being supported by the same principles that support 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.
Restorative Dentistry
We know it's not always easy for you to sort through the complicated possibilities. Our dentist's backgrounds in restorative dentistry allows their to develop solutions for every situation.
Dental Bonding

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 Dr. Yeoh, Dr. Kwon, & Dr. Newton determines that the nerve won't recover or if an infection is present, then root canal therapy may be suggested.

Dentures
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, affects about 30% of the adult population and is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. Many denture cases begin because of this chronic condition. While not curable, with regular professional hygiene appointments and consistent home care, it is controllable.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate can dull white enamel surfaces. Simple and safe, most patients don't realize how discolored their teeth are until they see a new smile emerge.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Alvyn Yeoh has been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry in Southport, CT since 2012. Dr. Yeoh completed his undergraduate and dental education in a combined six year accelerated dentistry program from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. He then underwent a General Practice Residency at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, NY. Moreover, he was selected for a Chief Year of General Practice Residency at SBH Medical Center located in the Bronx, NY.
General Dentistry
Dr. Jack Newton is proficient in all aspects of general dentistry. Dr. Newton completed his undergraduate education at the University of Delaware, where he earned a B.S. in Kinesiology and Applied Physiology and served as president of the rugby club.

Teeth Cleaning
Many patients are surprised at the large amount of surface area that we examine during an oral exam. At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw. It is just as important to have regular soft tissue screenings as it is to have a professional dental cleaning.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Sealants can dramatically reduce the number of cavities a child might develop throughout 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 reality, most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but that is still wide enough for bacteria to hide. It's easy to see how cavities can form in such a perfect hideout.

Oral Cancer Screening
Next, we will perform a comprehensive oral exam that may include x-rays, periodontal probing, charting of your existing restorations, and a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of periodontal disease are present, you will have a routine cleaning. If we notice signs of periodontal disease, we may reschedule the cleaning portion of your visit to allow for more time.
Dental Examination
Regular dental exams, professional cleanings, and good home care practices are essential to detecting and strategically managing periodontitis.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Sedation to help with oral surgery, and we can review these options in your treatment plan. We take every measure to make sure even minor surgical procedures are as comfortable as possible.
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. Sometimes we can repair these defects by adding bone grafting materials.
