The Universal Smiles Dentistry Difference!

Dentists are all trained to provide high-quality oral health care, but there are some ways in which we may be different from other dentists. Here are a few things that make us unique:

  • We focus on prevention. We believe that the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy is to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. That's why we offer a variety of preventive services, such as cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments.
  • We use the latest technology. We are committed to providing our patients with the best possible care, and that includes using the latest technology. We have state-of-the-art equipment in our office, including digital x-rays and laser technology.
  • We offer a variety of services. We offer a wide range of services, from routine cleanings to complex restorative procedures. We also offer cosmetic dentistry services, such as teeth whitening and veneers.
  • We are patient-centered. We understand that going to the dentist can be a stressful experience for some people. That's why we make it our priority to create a comfortable and relaxing environment for our patients. We also take the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions.

Steps For Knocked-Out Teeth:

Immediately call our office

  • Get to our office as soon as possible.
  • Pick up the tooth by the crown (so you don’t damage the nerves), and rinse it under water. Do not touch the root.
  • If the tooth cannot be placed back into the mouth, place it in a dental solution (available at pharmacies) or a glass of milk. It is important not to let the tooth dry out.
  • If possible, place it back into its socket. If not, tuck it into the cheek pouch.
