Dr. Ken Southward's Services

Our Services

We are pleased to offer a range of services to accommodate any dental need. We start with children about age 3, and go all the way through to adults in the golden years.

Urgent Needs:

Anyone in discomfort or needing immediate attention will be seen as soon as possible.

Self Care:

Hygiene services are all that is necessary for many clients to maintain optimum health. This could include regular dental exams, x-rays, scaling (cleaning) and fluoride.

Our Oral BacteriaI Intervention program is ideal for those who want to manage the cause of their dental disease. We view it as primary prevention because it is done continuously to prevent problems. Hygiene services are secondary prevetnion because some level of disease may already exist. Click on Oral Bacterial Intervention to read more about it.

Conservative Dentistry:

Basic services keep people comfortable, cleansable and infection free. This could include fillings, root canals (treating infections) and treatment of gum disease.

Restorative Dentistry:

Modern dentistry has many ways to restore a person to better dental health. This could include crowns (caps), fixed bridges to replace missing teeth, partial and complete dentures and implants (a titanium replacement for missing natural teeth).

Cosmetic Dentistry:

This level of service goes beyond the necessary. It can enhance your smile and self-esteem. This could include reshaping teeth by bonding or porcelain veneers and replacement of silver/mercury fillings with white fillings.

Orthodontics:

We provide orthodontic care (straightening teeth) for both children and adults. Straight teeth look better, function better and are easier to clean. If circumstances require the services of a specialist, an appropriate referral will be made. Our goal is to provide our clients with information at all levels of care. With this knowledge, each person can then comfortably select, on their own volition, the level of care to which they aspire and the time frame in which to achieve it.

We are pleased to bring a new level of preventive health care to our holistic dental office.

Decay on the root surface of a tooth is a major problem for people over 50. After gums have receeded, the root surface is exposed. Sensitivity often occurs. These surfaces can be more susceptible to decay if dental plaque is not cleaned off regularly. We can now paint a preventive varnish solution on your teeth which has been proven to reduce dental decay on root surfaces much better that traditional flouride applications. ASK US ABOUT PREVORA.

Free radicals and Antioxidants
Dental plaque (bacteria) irritate the tooth from the outside by producing free radicals or charged molecules. The tooth reacts to this bacterial attack with an inflammatory response resulting in dental decay. Prevora will reduce the acid attack or irritation. Antioxidants are your first defense against free radicals - they freely share their electrons and stop the degenerative chain reaction of free radicals. Our bodies naturally generate some antioxidants, and certain foods also contain antioxidants. However, new research shows additional sources of antioxidants provide added protection against a growing onslaught of free radical invaders. TAKE THE BEST NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS YOU CAN AFFORD.
