A healthy mouth starts with regular maintenance appointments where your teeth are examined, cleaned, and polished. Radiographs or X-rays are taken at designated intervals to check for decay or other conditions. We use digital X-rays to minimize risks of exposing the patient to radiation. Oral cancer examinations are performed on all patients at regular intervals. Gum health is determined at each visit, and may require more frequent maintenance visits or additional treatment if gum or periodontal disease is present. The most important tool for gum maintenance is to make those difficult areas in the mouth more accessible to clean at home. We want to help you maintain that beautiful smile for years to come. Dr. Skelly and your dedicated oral health team will review oral hygiene instructions and recommend maintenance visits at a period of time that works just for you!

Extractions
Dr. Skelly performs some extractions in the office in a comfortable and relaxed environment. She will also discuss ways in which to replace your newly missing tooth.

Bridges
Bridges are a way to replace a missing tooth by utilizing the teeth on either side of the space to bridge the gap of the space a missing tooth creates.

Partial and Complete Dentures
A Partial Denture replaces some of the teeth and a Complete Denture replaces all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw for the patient. New materials can be used to make partial dentures virtually undetectable. Gone are the days of unsightly metal or clasps that are visible when you smile! Dentures can be delivered to the same day as extractions are done for the patient. This process assures the patient will never be left without teeth!

Dental Implants
Dental implants are used to anchor a number of different restorations for the patient to replace a single tooth, a few missing teeth, or an entire arch of missing teeth. A single implant can be used to replace one tooth with an abutment and crown over top. Several teeth can be replaced with an implant bridge. A whole arch of teeth can be replaced with several treatment options. Talk to Dr. Skelly or the staff at Skelly Smiles to see which option is right for you!
