Preventive Dentistry

Dr. Teen and his dental hygienist and assistants' orientation is disease prevention, and hence the education of our patients is paramount.  We are happy to share our knowledge in educating our patients. Excellent dentistry is of limited value if measures are not taken by both our patient and professional team to maintain optimal health and minimize future problems.​

Diagnosis - The Comprehensive Dental Examination
Diagnosis
"If you don't know where you are going,
you may end up in a less then optimal place?"
     Dr. William Teen
Diagnosis is an important part of Dr. Teen's practice focus. Only through a thorough and comprehensive examination can we determine what conditions exist and what the most appropriate treatments and preventative measures should be. A little more time used to study a patient's particular situation before treatment commences, can result in a much better outcome of that treatment and more success in the future.

Cosmetic Dental Artistry - Complex and Simple

Dr. Teen's passion and affinity for artistic cosmetic dentistry generates many well appreciated referrals from his patients and other dentists. Cosmetic dentistry may entail solutions as simple as esthetically reshaping a chipped or crooked tooth edge and some tooth whitening. Conversely it may include complex interdisciplinary dentistry involving multiple specialties and extensive planning by Dr. Teen, dental specialists, and dental laboratories. There are of course a majority of cases which lie between these examples.

Dental Implant Prosthetic Restorations

Implant supported teeth are options where natural teeth cease to be restorable, are not feasible candidates for restoration, or are missing. They look, feel, and function similar to natural teeth. Implants can also be used to support and stabilize removable dental restorations such as full and partial dentures. Dental Implants are an exciting part of an ever evolving technology, that offers patients comfort, convenience, and aesthetics in situations which at one time had very limited or no corrective options.
​

Advanced Restorative Dentistry and Full Mouth Reconstruction

Dr. Teen's advanced postgraduate educational coursework and years of experience in restorative and cosmetic dentistry provides him with the resources necessary to plan for and restore the mouths of patient's with more complex needs. Careful diagnosis and case planning are essential components of restorative excellence, and a large part of Dr. Teen's focus.
​

Gold Inlays and Onlays

Gold remains to be one of the finest dental restorations available offering several restorative advantages, and can be utilized when needed in areas of the mouth where visibility is limited and cosmetics not critical. It is of course the patient's choice whether or not to use a gold restorative where indicated.
​

Removable Partial Dentures

Conventional tooth supported, Precision crown supported, or Implant Supported options are available in removable partial dentures Dr. Teen utilizes where indicated.

Complete Dentures

Where complete dentures are indicated Dr. Teen provides custom designed Aesthetic Dentures which are meticulously bite stabilized and fitted, and utilize cosmetically and structurally superior teeth.
​

Overdentures

The implant supported overdenture is a denture which "snaps" onto implants which have been placed into the patient's edentulous (toothless) ridge. The implants allow the denture to be stable, tight, more abbreviated and comfortable. This modification over old denture systems vastly improves a patient's function and satisfaction on a daily basis. Implant supported overdentures eliminate need for adhesive pastes, avoid embarrassment, enhance chewing, nutrition and digestion, and additionally preserve the ever so important dental alveolar bone. When used on the upper arch the palate no longer needs to be covered by the denture, which enhances taste and temperature perception. They can be removed by the patient to clean, then snugly be "snapped" back onto the implants that support them. They probably should not be called dentures at all, but "implant supported patient retrievable dental replacements". That is a mouthful- pun intended.

Bruxism (tooth grinding) Control - TMJ balanced Night Guards or Day Guards

Properly constructed and adjusted Anti-Bruxism Appliances, when carefully coordinated and balanced to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) position and facial musculature, help to control the very destructive forces of tooth grinding (bruxism). They are used in conjunction with patient education.
