Dental Services

Farnham & Farnham, P.A. offers a full array of dental services to help you maintain healthy teeth. You can read more on this page about specific services provided by the Farnham Dentist team.
 

Initial Oral Examination
The Farnham dentist team will begin your initial oral examination with a Intra and Extraoral examination and cancer screening, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. A member of the Farnham dental team will also take x-rays, which may include a panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of normal eruption of teeth, health of the boney tissue and the TMJ joint. Digital radiographs have replaced the x-ray. Digital radiographs offer comfort to patients as well as 80% less radiation than typical radiographs. Digital radiographs are taken of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

Implants
Implants are structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures. Read More...

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns or caps are usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read More...

Toothaches
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...
