Dental Examination
You’ve likely heard of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease to dental health professionals. Gum disease is a common oral health complaint that occurs in the majority of people at some point in their lives. During every dental exam at the Topton dental office of Edward M. Carter, DMD, we’ll look for signs of gum disease, and we offer periodontal therapy for times when we discover that gum disease is an issue.

Edward M Carter DMD FAGD

Dental Examination
You’ve likely heard of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease to dental health professionals. Gum disease is a common oral health complaint that occurs in the majority of people at some point in their lives. During every dental exam at the Topton dental office of Edward M. Carter, DMD, we’ll look for signs of gum disease, and we offer periodontal therapy for times when we discover that gum disease is an issue.
Oral Cancer Screening
Did you know that someone dies every hour on average from oral cancer? Unfortunately, far too many of these cases aren’t properly diagnosed until they’ve already progressed to advanced stages. That’s why Dr. Carter keeps an eye out for tell-tale symptoms during each checkup through a dedicated oral cancer screening. By drawing attention to cancerous cells as early as possible, we can protect our patients and improve recovery rates here in Topton.

Teeth Cleaning
Sherry provides dental cleanings, non-surgical periodontal therapy, digital X-rays, and patient education here in Topton. Originally from Bowers, she now resides in Rockland Township and has been with Dr. Carter’s practice since 2002. Sherry has an associate’s degree in dental hygiene and has been in the profession for over 20 years. When asked what she likes about the practice, Sherry responds that she enjoys the wonderful staff, the technology, and the terrific patients. She loves working with people and helping them have better health with good dental care!
Fluoride Treatment
Maintaining your healthy smile is a lifelong job, and one that Dr. Edward Carter and our entire team would be happy to assist you with over the years. Our dedication to preventive dentistry is clear from your very first checkup and cleaning, as we’ll do everything in our power to stop common dental problems in their tracks before they’re able to damage your teeth and gums. We can also provide nightguards, professional fluoride treatment, and other services that are designed to protect and strengthen your smile in the long-term.

Fillings
For an hour following your visit, do not chew. Wait until numbness subsides before eating. If you had amalgam fillings placed, do not chew for 24 hours.
Resin Composite
Over 90% of the US population will experience a cavity at one point or another in their lives. Thankfully, Dr. Carter has chosen to invest in a much-improved method for helping teeth recover from dental decay: tooth-colored fillings. Instead of traditional amalgam, tooth-colored fillings are crafted from lifelike composite resin, which comes in a variety of different shades that can be closely matched to your existing enamel.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent cosmetic solution for patients who would like to correct several dental flaws at once, such as discoloration, cracks, gaps, and even misshapen teeth. They’re crafted from high-quality dental ceramic and designed to be extremely thin in nature – thin enough that they can fit over the front surface of your smile and appear beautifully natural.
Crowns
Dental crowns provide more protection and more restoration in response to larger types of damage. Big cavities that cover more than 50% of your tooth, chipped teeth, and broken teeth may require a crown. A crown covers the entire tooth and is shaped to look and function just like that tooth.
Bridges
If you’re missing three or fewer teeth in a row, you can choose to replace them with a fixed bridge. A fixed bridge consists of replacement teeth anchored to remaining teeth with dental crowns. For a fixed bridge to be a viable option, your remaining teeth must be healthy enough to support the crowns and provide stable support for the bridge.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
If your smile faces dental damage – cavities, broken teeth, missing teeth, tooth infections – you’ll need restorative dentistry care to get it back to its original health and luster. We want your smile to be healthy and strong throughout your entire life; so much of overall health depends on a functional smile. Some dental health problems, such as tooth root infections, can spread and cause bigger health problems if not treated in a timely manner. That’s why Dr. Edward Carter offers restorative dentistry procedures such as root canal therapy in Topton. Your smile depends on our care. Contact our office today to get started.

Root Canal Treatment
You’ve probably heard of root canal therapy, but you may not be familiar with what the procedure actually entails. When do you need one? What are the alternatives? What are the benefits? Root canal therapy is often an excellent way to save your smile from further damage in the event of a tooth infection, and we perform root canal therapy right here in-house at the Topton dental office of Dr. Edward Carter.

Dentures
If you’ve lost a significant amount of natural teeth, a custom-made denture from Dr. Carter may be the best choice to regain them in an affordable and efficient manner. Both full and partial prosthetics are available at our practice, and both are removable so that they can be stored and cleaned separately for the patient’s convenience. The design is simple: replacement teeth rest in a gum-colored base, and they’re either held in place by natural suction and denture adhesive (full dentures) or strategic clasps that hold onto remaining teeth (partial dentures).
Overdentures
Patients can choose between a fixed denture, which is permanently held in place, or an “overdenture,” which attaches to implants while still remaining removable in nature. Patients who are used to cleaning their denture separately and storing it while sleeping may prefer the latter option, and they’ll still be able to reap the valuable oral health benefits that implants provide.

Dental Implants
When you’re considering tooth replacement options, there are several things you’ll take into account. You’ll consider cost, time, and success rates. You’ll consider your own level of oral health. You’ll also consider the impact these tooth replacement options will have on your life. Dental implants offer great value when you consider everything you receive for the cost. We can provide you with dental implant restorations at the Topton dental office of Dr. Carter.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Pain, swelling, and bleeding is normal following oral surgery. A cold compress should be placed on your face near the surgical site for 10 minutes at a time, with 5 minutes off, the day of your surgery. This will reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding.
Gum Surgery
Pain, swelling, and bleeding is normal following gum surgery. A cold compress should be placed on your face near the surgical site for 10 minutes at a time (with 5 minutes off) the day of your surgery. This will reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding.
Tooth Extractions
Bruising, swelling, and pain are normal – particularly if you have had a wisdom tooth extraction. Take your prescribed medication and use a cold compress on your face.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening seems to be everywhere these days. You see teeth whitening toothpastes and strips at the grocery store and commercials for whitening products on TV. You might be dreaming of a whiter smile yourself but uncertain about the best course of action. We encourage you to seek professional-grade teeth whitening from a dentist like Dr. Edward Carter in Topton, PA. Why? The results you get from professional-grade teeth whitening provided by a dentist will be remarkably brighter.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Have you suffered with smile problems throughout your life? Whether you’ve had smile problems since childhood, like crooked teeth, or experienced issues later, like a broken tooth, porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dentistry option that addresses all of these issues. We offer porcelain veneers at the Topton dental office of Dr. Edward Carter, giving you access to a smile makeover that will completely change your view of your smile from bad to beautiful.
