Essential General Dentistry Services
TMJ Treatment
If you’re suffering from jaw pain, headaches, or teeth grinding, you may have TMJ disorder. Dr. Watson specializes in TMJ treatment to help alleviate discomfort and restore proper function to your jaw. In some cases, Botox for TMJ can provide relief by relaxing tense muscles, allowing you to live pain-free.
Same Day Dentistry
In today’s busy world, convenience matters. That’s why we offer same-day dentistry options for certain procedures, such as dental crowns and tooth repairs. Using advanced technology, we can create custom restorations in just one visit, saving you time without compromising on quality.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, we may recommend tooth extractions. Extractions can be necessary for a variety of reasons, including severe decay, infection, or crowding. Dr. Watson will ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, offering sedation dentistry if needed to reduce anxiety and pain.
Sedation Dentistry
We understand that dental visits can be anxiety-inducing for some patients, which is why we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience. Whether you have a fear of dental procedures or need extensive restorative work, our sedation techniques, including nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") and oral sedation, can help you relax during your visit. Dr. Watson and his team will guide you through the process and recommend the best sedation option based on your needs to ensure a calm and pain-free procedure.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a key component in protecting your teeth against decay. Our fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid and bacteria. These treatments are especially beneficial for children, but adults can also benefit from fluoride to reinforce their teeth’s natural defenses.
Dental Fillings
Cavities can affect anyone, but at Michael J. Watson DDS, we restore teeth quickly and effectively using tooth-colored dental fillings. These fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them both aesthetically pleasing and durable. If you need more extensive restorative work, we also provide dental crowns and bridges to restore function and appearance.
Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. These appointments are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other issues. During your cleaning, our hygienists will remove plaque and tartar build-up, ensuring your teeth stay healthy and strong. For children, our pediatric dentistry services make sure their smiles develop beautifully right from the start.
Pediatric Dentistry
At Michael J. Watson DDS, we believe in providing comprehensive dental care for the entire family, including our youngest patients. Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventing and treating oral health issues in children. Whether your child needs a cavity filled, a custom mouthguard for sports, or advice on maintaining proper oral hygiene, we create a fun, friendly environment that encourages kids to take care of their teeth. By addressing dental issues early, we can help ensure your child's smile stays healthy as they grow.
