Powers Dental Group

Just because you lose a tooth doesn’t mean you’re doomed forever to an embarrassing smile or difficulty chewing. Dental implants are a practical and permanent solution that our team can provide by surgically placing an anchor for a replacement tooth.

At Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO, dental implants happen in three phases:

1. A skilled dentist places the post into the jawbone
2. The area heals and undergoes osseointegration, which means it combines with the bone to create a solid foundation.
3. An artificial tooth is placed securely onto the implant.

At Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO, we want to help your mouth be the healthiest it can be, because healthy mouths smile the biggest. We work hard to provide your family with the best general dentistry services available, using state-of-the-art technology coupled with friendly, comprehensive, non-judgmental care.

Our general dentistry services include:

• Diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance of your overall dental health needs
• Preventive education
• Routine cleanings and x-rays
• Any necessary procedures (fillings, root canals, bridges, crowns, and more)
• Emergency care

Think you might need a night guard? Grinding teeth and jaw clenching are aggravating, yet common issues for many Americans. These actions are involuntary and, since the force of the jaw is so powerful, can cause severe, permanent, and painful damage – all while you sleep.

Although the problem is serious, the solution is often as simple as a bite splint or night guard from Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO. This removable appliance snaps into place to form a layer between your top and bottom teeth and relieves the tension in your jaw.

A night guard may be right for you if:

• you experience pain, soreness, or swelling of the jaw
• your teeth show evidence of wear or erosion
• you have porcelain crowns or veneers that are susceptible to damage

Knowing your teeth are protected with a night guard will help you rest a little easier. Some insurance plans cover all or at least a portion of the cost, and our helpful staff can find out if yours does, too. Call 719.300.4639 to schedule an appointment at our office in Colorado Springs, CO.

Is dental anxiety or phobia keeping you from addressing your oral health needs? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Our team at Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO can make your visit comfortable with sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is a safe way to relax or even sleep through your dental procedures. We offer a range of options, including: minimal sedation (laughing gas), moderate sedation (a little more relaxed), and general anesthesia (unconscious) which is reserved for more involved oral surgeries.

Call 719.300.4639 to discuss the sedation options that are available to you at our office in Colorado Springs, CO. And, don’t worry! You can count on our team to make you feel comfortable and safe.

At Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO, cosmetic bonding is a noninvasive procedure and one of the most economical ways to correct small issues that may bother you about your smile.

Cosmetic bonding is a versatile solution for:

• Closing small gaps between teeth
• Adding length to short teeth
• Covering dark stains
• Minimizing the appearance of rotated teeth
• General brightening and whitening

During your visit, our Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO team applies a resin directly to your tooth and molds, shapes, and polishes it to flawlessly blend and look just like your natural tooth – only better!

No matter how well you brush and floss, your mouth has hard to reach places. Dental sealants to the rescue!

This quick, effective, and completely
noninvasive procedure can help you prevent tooth decay in even the most susceptible areas. Dental sealants are versatile and helpful because they:

• Are made of a tooth-colored coating that’s simply painted on
• Seal deep grooves from harmful bacteria
• Act as a barrier to protect tooth enamel
• Last several years under the force of normal chewing

Contact Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO at 719.300.4639 to schedule an appointment for you or your child.

A simple appointment at our office in Colorado Springs, CO could help prevent tooth decay for years to come. Whether your teeth are especially close together or you’re just looking for extra prevention, dental sealants could be a great option for you!

Good dental hygiene includes attentive care of your teeth and gums. But sometimes, gums need extra help.

At Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO, we want to help you prevent and treat gum disease before it deteriorates your smile. So, at every visit, our team checks for signs of gingivitis, the earliest stage of periodontitis. Catching and addressing it right away can help save you from potential tooth loss and extensive treatment.

The important thing to remember is that no mouth is hopeless! Even if you already have gum disease, our Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO team can help. Call 719.300.4639 to schedule an assessment at our office in Colorado Springs, CO as soon as possible. You’ll be glad you did.

The procedure of extracting or “pulling” teeth is classified as the simplest form of oral surgery. At Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO, we would love to see you keep ALL of your teeth, but there are some circumstances in which oral surgery is the best treatment plan. These include:

• Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
• Teeth that have been severely damaged and cannot be restored
• Baby teeth that are “stuck” or preventing
• permanent teeth from erupting
• Loose teeth that require extraction to prepare for full or partial dentures

We know that no one looks forward to having teeth extracted, but if you require oral surgery, our team at Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO is one of the most skilled and compassionate in the area. Call 719.300.4639 to make an appointment at our office in Colorado Springs, CO.

If your smile looks a little dull or discolored, consider a professional teeth whitening treatment from Powers Dental Group in Colorado Springs, CO.

Our staff can help you choose which option is best for your teeth, time, and budget.

  OR

• Custom-made take-home trays with safe-to-use, prescription-strength teeth whitening gel.

Our patients see great success with both styles of treatment and usually wish they’d had their teeth professionally whitened sooner.

Does your tooth need a little rehab? It’s not uncommon for teeth to become worn, cracked, or misshapen, but a simple crown can make them look and feel new again.
