Family Dentistry

Tilden Family Dental offers dentistry for the entire family. We understand that adults & children have different needs & we address them all. Adults want the best technology, the most informed doctors & the highest-quality care, while kids want to be comfortable & respected. That’s why our dentists have extensive experience working with both adults & children. We can make your dental experience more enjoyable for everyone.

Restorative Dentistry

We provide various treatment options for the repair of diseased or traumatized teeth. These include fillings, crowns, & space maintainers if needed.

Mercury-Free Dentistry

We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using new advanced fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury, as an alternative to traditional silver fillings.

Orthodontics

Having straight teeth is important for both health & appearance. Not only do we have traditional metal braces, but we also offer newer, subtler varieties. One option is clear braces, which straighten teeth without calling attention to the fact that you have braces. Another option is Invisalign®, a unique new treatment option. Rather than using wires & brackets, Invisalign® uses custom-made, removable aligner trays that move teeth into place discreetly & comfortably. The aesthetic aspect is important because having a smile you love can affect your happiness & self-esteem, whether you are an adult, a teenager or a child.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® is the revolutionary way to help you get even, straight teeth without noticeable, painful metal braces. Virtually undetectable, Invisalign® aligners are made of strong, clear plastic that gradually guide your teeth into perfect alignment. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or brackets. Tooth impressions are made, from which Invisalign® develops customized aligners that will slide directly over your teeth. Aligners are typically worn full-time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 48 months — no longer than you would wear traditional metal braces. Aligners are replaced every two weeks as your teeth shift into place.

Dental & Restorative Implants

Dental implants are essentially permanent, attached teeth that replace partials, bridges or dentures. A titanium implant is permanently attached to your bone & a prosthetic tooth (crown) is attached to the implant. Implants are preferred to bridges because they can improve your bite without damaging neighboring teeth (like a bridge might). Treatment can be finished in three to five visits over the space of about four to 12 months.

Dentures

To increase speaking & chewing ability, we attach a customized denture to individual implants or a row of implants, securing the denture in place. They look completely natural, are long-lasting & are quite durable.

Lumineers® Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns & can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment & creating uniformity. We feature Lumineers®, which can be placed over existing teeth without the removal of any form of tooth structure. Therefore, anesthesia & temporaries are not required. The no-prep technique is perfect for stained, chipped, misaligned or spaced teeth. Bonding porcelain to enamel creates a solid, secure bond.

ZOOM!® Sapphire™ In-Office Teeth Whitening

Now you can have significantly whiter teeth in a matter of minutes. Both comfortable & affordable, ZOOM!® Sapphire™ in-office teeth whitening can make your teeth up to six to eight shades lighter in as little as 45 minutes. ZOOM!® Sapphire™ in-office teeth whitening is safe, effective & very fast, & performed only by dental professionals.

Sedation Dentistry

Wake up to a more healthy & beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry (oral conscious sedation). We care for patients who have these concerns:

• I’m afraid of needles & shots.
• I’ve had bad experiences before.
• I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
• I always gag when having dental work done.
• I just can’t seem to get numb.
• All my teeth are too far gone.

Implant Bridges

Would having a flawless smile increase your self-confidence? Are missing teeth preventing you from eating the foods that you love? If so, implant bridges might be the perfect solution for you. These comfortable, effective bridges—which can either be removable or fixed—fit discreetly over implants, allowing for maximum support.

Crowns

Crowns are natural-looking covers that fit snugly over teeth to conceal cracked, badly discolored, injured, or chipped teeth. Crowns minimize physical discomfort and provide support for damaged teeth. Ultimately, crowns can improve the overall appearance of your smile while making your teeth more resistant to injury.

Root Canal Therapy

Did you know that each tooth contains a long, thin strand of dental pulp that provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves and extends through the tooth’s root? If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth’s nerves die, often without endodontic treatment. In this case the tooth would have to be removed. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (after the tooth is numb), the diseased pulp is removed and the tooth is permanently sealed with a porcelain or tooth-colored crown. We are happy to provide one appointment root canal therapy for you.

Digital X-Rays

We offer in-office digital x-rays for your convenience. Digital x-rays are computer-generated images. These images require up to 90% less radiation than with conventional film-type x-rays. Instead of using the traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed & then fixed in caustic & environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures via a small electronic sensor & instantaneously transmits a picture of the tooth onto the video monitor in the treatment room. Therefore, we can see your teeth & surrounding structures immediately.

State-of-the-Art Antiseptic Procedures

Our sterilization procedures meet the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. We heat-sterilize all handpieces & instruments after each use. We use disposable gloves, gowns, masks, eye protection & barrier covers at all times. Our patients’ safety is our top priority.

Filtered Water Lines

We understand your concern about water quality & the importance of keeping you & your family healthy. For this reason, we utilize filtered water lines during our dental procedures. By filtering the water used in dental procedures, we are able to get rid of any substances that may compromise the health of our patients. The safety, health & dental care of patients are our top priorities. This is just another way to show how much we care!
