All-On-4 ImplantsList Item 2
The treatment procedure involves placing four dental implants: two in the area of the front incisors and two at an angle of 25–45 degrees in the molar parts of the jaw. A temporary fixed bridge is placed immediately after the implantation.
-
ImplantsList Item 3
At Pairadocs, we offer dental implants to our patients to improve their smiles and oral health.
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the implant has healed, a dental crown is placed on the implant to replace the missing tooth.
-
CrownsList Item 4
A crown is a cover or “cap” your dentist puts over a compromised tooth. A crown can restore a broken tooth or a decayed tooth. The crown restores the tooth to its standard shape, size and function. Most crowns are made out of porcelain, durable and stain-resistant material.
-
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. It involves various techniques, including using a bleaching agent to remove stains and discoloration from teeth and laser teeth whitening.
There are over-the-counter teeth whitening options available, but professional teeth whitening is the most popular and effective teeth whitening method. It is done in our dental office, focusing on your safety and comfort.

Six-Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is a modern twist on tried-and-true orthodontics. There is little debate within the orthodontic community that braces are the most widely used and most effective method to give patients straight, healthy teeth and beautiful smiles. Six Month Smiles has taken the best aspects of braces and modified the treatment and the materials to give adults a common-sense, cosmetic solution that fits their lifestyles.
-
Gingivectomy
The surgical removal of gingiva (i.e., gum tissue). A gingivectomy is necessary when the gums have pulled away from the teeth creating deep pockets. The pockets make it hard to clean away plaque and calculus. Gingivectomy is usually done before gum disease has damaged the bone supporting the teeth.
-
Bonding
Bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves using a resin to attach a tooth-colored material to the surface of a tooth. We can use this material to improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, uneven, crooked, or misaligned.
Preventive
Your dental needs will be tailored to your dental prognosis. Our goal in the Hygiene department is to maintain and keep your natural dentition. We offer an array of cleanings in the office; Child Prophylaxis, Adult Prophylaxis, Debridements, Gingival Therapy and Periodontal Therapy. With each service offered, your hygienist will schedule your next cleaning as determined by your current need and prescribed treatment from Dr. Bush. All of our Hygienists are registered as well and certified in Local Anesthesia. Your comfort during each procedure is our priority! If at any point a procedure becomes more involved than anticipated, that’s okay too! We have a highly reputable Specialty Office that we work very close with in maintaining your periodontal response.
List of Services
-
Adult ProphylaxisList Item 1
After reviewing your Health History and taking blood pressure, your prophy (cleaning) will include scaling and polishing procedures to remove plaque, calculus, and stains. Your hygienist will also gather annual x-rays to detect bone loss and cavities and a periodic exam will be conducted by Dr. Bush as needed.
-
Periodontal TherapyList Item 2
Periodontal therapy is prescribed when the tissue is no longer responding to traditional cleanings (Prophy). The term deep cleaning is often used for periodontal therapy. The need for Scaling and Root Planning may be diagnosed at any time if your x-rays show active infection. When a person has Periodontal Disease, bone loss has occurred. This is not reversible and more frequent monitoring and cleaning will be needed.
-
Child ProphylaxisList Item 3
This cleaning is for minors 14 and under. We will take x-rays as needed, polish, floss, and provide toothbrush instructions. Fluoride Varnish is available upon request.
-
Debridement
A debridement is a procedure needed when a patient has a large amount of calculus commonly referred to as tartar, below and above the gums. A routine prophy (cleaning) cannot remove this and it will interfere with decay, infection, and gum disease detection. During debridement, the hygienist will remove the excess buildup and the patient will be asked to return the following business day for a formal diagnosis and compressive exam.
-
Gingival Therapy
Gingival therapy is prescribed when the gingival tissue becomes inflamed. Many factors contribute to this diagnosis. Our goal is to prevent bone loss at this stage. Regularly flossing and water pik usage can inhibit the progression of gingivitis to the next stage. Gingivitis is reversible!
Restorative
List of Services
-
Composite FillingsList Item 1
When you have a repairable cavity, a white material called composite is put into your tooth after Dr. Bush has removed all of the decay. Patients can get traditional fillings, inlays, or onlays, depending on the size of the crack or dental decay they need to repair. Conventional fillings use a tooth-colored solution called composite resin.
-
CrownsList Item 2
A crown is a cover or “cap” your dentist puts over a compromised tooth. A crown can restore a broken tooth or a decayed tooth. The crown restores the tooth to its standard shape, size and function. Most crowns are made out of porcelain, durable and stain-resistant material.
-
BridgesList Item 3
Dental bridges bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth with a pontic (false tooth) in between.
-
ExtractionsList Item 4
Simple extractions are relatively straightforward procedures that Dr. Bush can perform in the office, requiring little recovery time. They are done on teeth clearly visible in the mouth and not still hiding beneath the gums. These will be performed using local anesthesia.
-
Dentures
Patients who are missing multiple teeth in a row or an entire set of teeth may benefit from dentures. At Pairadocs, we offer two dentures: partial and complete. A partial denture can restore a few teeth in a row, while complete dentures can restore an entire set of missing teeth.
-
Implant Supported Dentures
An implant is surgically placed into your jaw bone to replace a missing tooth. Unlike dental bridges, which replace only the visible part of a missing tooth, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth from the tooth’s root to its crown. Patients can receive a dental implant to replace one or more missing teeth. Implants can support dental crowns, bridges, and dentures.
