Restorative dental treatments can:
  • Enhance your smile

  • Improve or correct bites
  • Prevent the loss of a tooth
  • Relieve dental pain

Dental Implants

Providing excellent support and stability Dental Implants are a fixed solution as compared to removable dentures. Implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone to support replacement teeth.

Dental Implants can:
  • Replace missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
  • Restore chewing, speech & digestion
  • Restore or enhance facial tissue
  • Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth
  • Support a bridge or denture, thus making them more secure & comfortable

Root Canals

Root canal treatment is the solution to restore a tooth suffering from an infection in the pulp. The procedure involves the doctor drilling into the tooth, cleaning the infected area, and replacing the pulp with adhesive dental cement or another suitable biocompatible material until a crown is placed.

Root canals can:
  • Save an otherwise extractable tooth
  • Remove infection from the tooth nerve
  • Restore the tooth’s function
  • Resolve pain or tooth sensitivity caused by infection

Sleep Apnea Appliances

Sleep apnea is a serious, sometimes fatal medical disorder that affects around 10% of American men over the age of 40, and 6% of American women of the same age. Sleep apnea sufferers completely stop breathing during sleep, sometimes hundreds of times in a single night. Normal breathing ceases because the airway becomes obstructed, causing a serious reduction of airflow to the lungs.

There are a number of dental devices that can be used to alleviate this condition. The goal of most of these devices is to separate the jaws and push them forward slightly. The slight repositioning opens up the airway, and allows oxygen to flow freely again. Wearers of sleep apnea dental devices report that they stop loud snoring, feel more rested in the daytime, and are much more comfortable going to sleep.

Dental Hygiene

Your personal home care plays an important role in achieving a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. Eating balanced meals, reducing the number of snacks you eat, and correctly brushing, flossing and rinsing your teeth and mouth can help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental diseases.

Our office only uses digital radiography. This technique uses an electronic sensor that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. The image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping both your dentist and hygienist. Digital x-rays also reduce radiation 80-90% compared to traditional x-rays.

At Gibbs Dentistry, we stay abreast of the most up to date technology in dentistry, and incorporate products and services based on evidence of success.

Bruxism/Teeth Grinding

Bruxism refers to an oral parafunctional activity which occurs in most humans at some point in their lives. The grinding of the teeth and the clenching of the jaw are the two main characteristics of this condition, which can occur during the day or night. It is also one of the most common known sleep disorders, and causes most of its damage during sleeping hours. Only a trained professional can tell the difference between “bruxing” wear and wear caused by overly aggressive brushing, acidic soft drinks, and abrasive foods

If not treated promptly, Bruxism can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, arthritis in the temporomandibular (TMJ) joints, and myofascial pain which can lead to debilitating headaches.

Pediatric Dental Care

The first dental visit can be an adventure for young children. Some come into the office excited, others are apprehensive. At Gibbs Dentistry, we strive to create a positive dental attitude for your child–and parents are critical in helping us achieve this goal.

We invite you to stay with your child during the initial exam. At future appointments, however, we recommend you allow our staff to accompany your child through the dental experience. We encourage independence to promote growth and development. Our goal is to gain the child’s confidence and overcome apprehension.
