PORCELAIN VENEERS

Our dentists at Omni Dental have many years of experience delivering "wow" to patients looking to revitalize their smiles. The process is straightforward and comfortable. If you and one of our skilled dentists determine that veneers are right for you, we will roughen the surface of your teeth so that the veneers will adhere properly. Next, we will scan your teeth with our iTero® digital impression scanner so that an accurate digital impression may be sent to our talented lab. At the lab, a technician will refer to photos, as well as, a customized set of instructions from the dentist on how to achieve an ideal smile for you. State-of-the-art materials are then used to construct durable and esthetic porcelain veneers that are returned to Omni Dental within 1-2 weeks.

ROOT CANALS – QUICK AND COMFORTABLE

At Omni Dental, we maintain a welcoming and stress-free environment where our doctors go to great lengths to make certain our patients are comfortable and relaxed at all times. Calming essential oils are constantly diffused into the air throughout the office. During the procedure, you will be resting in a heated and massaging dental chair to help put you at ease. Additionally, we provide tablets, sunglasses, headphones, weighted blankets and other amenities in our treatment rooms, so that our patients may be relaxed, even during a root canal.

PREVENTATIVE CARE AND CLEANINGS

At Omni Dental, we understand that many people don’t exactly look forward to dental checkups. Dr. Hanlon strives to change that by treating his patients with the utmost care and gentleness. Our office is a comfortable, friendly environment centered on your needs. You are in charge during your treatment and can stop or pause the cleaning at any time you choose. Regular dental cleanings are crucial for both your dental health and overall well-being.These appointments also provide your dentist with the opportunity to check for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and a host of other potential problems.

WHITE FILLINGS

If cavities -- also known as dental caries -- are not filled, the area of decay is likely to expand. The decay may even infiltrate the inner portions of the tooth and cause infection to spread throughout the mouth or bloodstream. For these reasons, it's important that you have any cavity filled promptly. But you don’t have to be stuck with an obvious and unsightly silver, or amalgam, filling. Omni Dental offers composite fillings made of a durable, tooth-colored material. These fillings help to stop decay, and they're practically invisible.

PORCELAIN CROWNS

A dental crown can provide much-needed structural integrity to a tooth that is seriously damaged or decayed. In fact, a crown is an appropriate tooth preservation option in many cases. The crown fits over your injured tooth, securing it and protecting it from additional damage.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Our doctors know that every patient is unique. We ensure that sufficient time and attention is dedicated towards learning the wants, needs and concerns of all of our patients. This way, our doctors can understand what an ideal smile means to you and they can provide the roadmap for getting there. Whether it's veneers, Invisalign®, implants or just a teeth whitening, we'll make sure you love your new smile and are thrilled to wear it!

INVISALIGN & SURESMILE

Dr. Hanlon has undergone extensive specialized training to become an Invisalign provider. Additionally, Omni Dental is equipped with Invisalign's most State-of-the-Art digital impression scanner- the iTero Element®. This incredible technology allows us to record your teeth to nearly 100% accuracy and precision, ensuring exceptional quality of the clear aligners that we deliver. Dr. Hanlon has the experience and technology necessary to offer the highest level of this life-changing service, and he can help you decide if Invisalign or SureSmile is right for you. We offer a free consultation, where you will receive a complimentary scan of your teeth with our iTero Element® digital impression scanner! Upon request, we can even provide you with a video of how your teeth will straighten to give you the beautiful smile you deserve!

FULL-ARCH IMPLANT RESTORATIONS

It should go without saying, but losing your teeth is emotionally and physically taxing. And though dentures are helpful for some patients, denture slippage is a common problem and many times, makes things worse. Even the best-fitting set of dentures will slip — especially a bottom set. Denture slippage is painful, frustrating and embarrassing in social situations. Luckily, today we have far better options than traditional dentures, which allow patients to chew, smile and talk much more comfortably and confidently than ever before.

SLEEP APNEA

All new patients at Omni Dental will complete a sleep questionnaire to determine their risk-level of having OSA. High risk patients will be encouraged to complete a take home sleep study to confirm diagnosis. If a patient is diagnosed with OSA, the sleep physician who analyzed the study will make a recommendation for either continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy or an intra-oral (dental) sleep apnea appliance. In many patients with OSA, custom dental sleep apnea appliances gently advance the position of the lower jaw forward. This movement creates additional airway space, thus decreasing the obstruction and allowing the patient to continue breathing. Worn only during sleep, this appliance will reduce snoring in most patients and allow them to receive more oxygen during sleep. When using the appliance, patients will likely notice that they will awaken less often during the night, feeling refreshed with more energy throughout the day.

DENTURES AND PARTIALS

At Omni Dental, our doctors and participating labs have the experience and training to make certain your dentures and partials fit correctly. We use the latest materials and methods for constructing a quality prosthesis, and we will always listen to you- paying strict attention to any concerns or questions you might have. Your comfort and overall satisfaction are our top priority.If you're looking for a new partial denture, we offer both the traditional metal-base option and the "metal free", more flexible and esthetic “Flexi” partial option. Both partial denture options have their pros and cons. Our doctors would be happy to schedule a consult with you to discuss which treatment option best suits your needs.
