CERAMIC CROWNS + BRIDGES
Dr. Lowry believes in creating a high quality experience with long lasting results. For this reason, our office uses non-metal ceramic crowns and bridges for individuals in need of a metal crown replacement or those suffering from severely broken down teeth.
IMPLANTS
Each year millions of Americans experience tooth loss for various reasons. Some of the most common reasons for tooth loss include decay, injury, and periodontal disease.
While there are other options to treat tooth loss such as bridges or dentures, dental implants are a more comfortable, sustainable solution to filling the gap.
NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or happy gas, helps to reduce the feelings of pain or anxiety during cleanings or dental procedures.
Because Dr. Lowry puts such a strong emphasis on patient care and comfort, we offer Nitrous oxide sedation as an option for all dental procedures.
DENTURES
Simply put, dentures are removable replacement teeth. While dentures can take some getting used to, they are an economic and natural looking solution to tooth loss.
There are two main types of dentures without implants— Full dentures and partial dentures. At Smile St. Pete Dentistry, we offer both!
TMJ DISORDERS
TMJ is the abbreviated term for the temporomandibular joint. This joint can be described as a hinge that connects your lower jaw to your skull, allowing you to freely move your mouth, talk, yawn, and chew food. When individuals experience problems within the jaw and facial muscles which control it, this is an indicator of a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
At Smile St. Pete Dentistry, TMJ screenings are an essential part of our comprehensive dental exams. Whether or not you have a TMJ Disorder, Dr. Lowry will be sure to set you up for success in regards to prevention and management.
FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION
Full-mouth rehabilitation, otherwise known as full-mouth reconstruction, is not categorized as a single dental treatment, rather, a variety of treatments performed over time to achieve a healthy mouth, esthetically and functionally.
Depending on your specific needs and concerns, Dr. Lowry will develop a personalized treatment plan that identifies problems, including tooth wear, missing teeth, pain, terminal dentition and more.
