Our office has two Registered Dental Hygienists. Cleanings are done in a comfortable atmosphere. Digital X-rays are taken to help the Dr. diagnose any decay or problems the patient may be having. The teeth are cleaned comfortably and pain free with an ultrasonic unit. Then gently scaled, flossed, and polished to give the patient a clean fresh feeling!
Sealants are thin layers of resin that are placed on the pits and fissures (grooves) of the molars to prevent decay in these surfaces.
Majority of the decay on back teeth start on the grooves, due to this being our chewing areas. Sealing these surfaces with tooth colored resin prevents the possibility of decay. Most children have sealants done on permanent molars at around age 6. Children get 6 year molars and then 12 year molars. Sealing these as soon as possible is a great preventative.
When a tooth is not savable, Dr. Paoni will advise the patient to extract the tooth. Extractions can be performed in office as long as the patient is not medically compromised. Simple and Surgical Extractions are done here.
To make the procedure easier on the patient, Paoni Dental also has the option of using Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas).
TMJ is often referred to as the complications and problems with the Tempro-Mandibular Joint. The joint that connects the upper and lower jaw, this is one of the most complicated joints of the whole body.
Some of the most common symptoms of TMJ problems are:
If you experience any TMJ problems or symptoms, contact Paoni Dental. The doctor may recommend a Night Guard, Bite Guard, or Bite Adjustment.
Dentures – Acrylic Dentures are made by a three step process. This ensures a better fit. Teeth are carefully picked to help give you the look you are comfortable with.
Partials – Our partials are called Flex Partials. They are all acrylic and the clasps are acrylic (tissue colored). This is a light weight partial and people who have had metal partials have loved changing to this type. We can do the metal partials for certain cases.
In addition, we provide dentures which attach to implants to give the patient better retention.

After being evaluated for an implant, the patient will see an oral surgeon to have an implant placed. Time will allow the bone to integrate around the implant. Then an abutment will be placed by the oral surgeon which will allow the dentist to take an impression to have a custom crown made to give the patient a tooth in the space.
Denture implants are also placed to anchor dentures to prevent them from moving around. This will make it easier for the patient to eat! Contact Paoni Dental to see if you are a candidate for dental implants.
In most cases, porcelain veneers are the longest lasting, and most beautiful way to change the appearance of your teeth. Properly done, they are very conservative of tooth structure. Results can be life changing for those who want to improve their smile and appearance. Unlike a crown only the front part of the tooth is prepped. The veneer covers the front part of the tooth and wraps slightly around to the other side. Shades are carefully picked to give the patient the smile they deserve!
