River Oak Dental

Dental Examination
We will present all of our findings to you regarding your oral health and will make recommendations for any treatment. It is important to share any questions or concerns you may have before we move forward with your personalized treatment. After your initial comprehensive examination, you will receive a professional cleaning by one of our hygienists.
X-rays
We will introduce you to our intraoral camera so that you can see exactly what your doctor sees. You will also receive digital radiographs (X-rays) that produce the highest quality images with the least exposure possible. You may also bring or email bitewing X-rays taken less than a year ago and large panoramic X-rays taken less than three years ago.

Teeth Cleaning

Fillings
Tooth-Colored fillings are an alternative to silver-amalgam fillings that provide similar durability and ease of placement while appearing virtually invisible. Made from a porcelain-based resin, tooth-colored fillings can be shaded to match your natural tooth color and shaped to give you back your natural tooth shape. If you are concerned about being able to see your fillings when you smile or laugh, tooth-colored fillings may be for you. Your team at River Oak will discuss your options and help you make the decision for the filling material that’s right for you.
Veneers
You can correct dull, misshapen, or crooked teeth, and even minimize gaps in your smile with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are milled to exact specifications and bonded to the visible surfaces of your teeth after a little tooth preparation. Your doctor can create veneers with the perfect size, shape, and color that will give you a youthful, bright smile.
Crowns
Even a single discolored, damaged, or misshaped tooth can ruin the look of your smile. Thankfully, porcelain crowns can restore shape and structure to a tooth in a way that looks natural and fantastic. Your doctor will custom-mill a porcelain crown to exact specifications for color, size, and shape, and after a little tooth preparation, he will permanently place that crown over the natural structure of your tooth. The restoration will look amazing and will feel completely natural to you.
Bridges
Not only does a missing tooth mean an obvious gap in your smile, but also it can cause significant problems later as your teeth shift and try to fill the space. Your solution may be a porcelain bridge. A porcelain bridge utilizes the teeth on either side of the space to provide the supportive structure for a porcelain restoration that will look and feel just like a natural tooth. After a little tooth preparation, your doctor will place custom-fitted crowns over the adjacent teeth. Between these teeth, a porcelain tooth is permanently affixed to the crowns. The look and feel of the overall restoration will be completely natural, and you will regain both form and function in
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
Sometimes injury, disease, or just the passage of time can wreak havoc on your smile. Not only can your smile look aged and incomplete, but also you could develop problems with the function of your teeth, gums, and other supportive structures. Advanced, restorative dentistry from River Oak Dental can restore your smile and give you pain-free function so that you can return to your normal life.

Root Canal Treatment
If you develop an issue with the deep supportive structure of your tooth – the portion of the tooth that contains the nerve as well as the “pulp” – a root canal may be prescribed to save your tooth. A root canal treatment involves the removal of the pulp from within the tooth. Then, the tooth is filled with an inert material to maintain its structural integrity. Finally, a lifelike porcelain crown is fitted over your natural tooth structure to recomplete your smile. Due to advances in dentistry, root canals are more comfortable than ever before, so if you find you need a root canal treatment, rest assured that our team’s gentle touch will make all the difference.

Deep Cleaning
“Had to have four teeth pulled and a deep cleaning, everything was exceptional! The crew at River Oak are always so kind! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

Dentures
When you are missing one or more teeth, the supportive structures for those teeth can shrink away. This limits your oral function and can dramatically alter your appearance. Dentures and partial dentures restore form and function to those parts of your mouth and engage the underlying structures, keeping them healthy. Dr. Nichols skillfully crafts dentures and partial dentures that fit securely and look natural, giving you confidence as you speak or eat with family, friends, or co-workers.

Dental Implants
In many cases, a dental implant is the most effective way to replace one or more teeth in your smile. A dental implant is a small titanium post placed through your gum tissue directly into the bone underneath. During healing, the bone grows around the post, anchoring it in place and providing a solid structure that will hold a porcelain tooth after a few months of healing. Dr. Nichols will shape and color the tooth to match your existing teeth. The position, feel, and appearance of the tooth and implant will be completely natural!

Teeth Whitening
If you are happy with the shape and spacing of your teeth, a series of whitening treatments may be all that separates you from a new, improved smile. Your at-home whitening kit includes a special tray, similar to a mouthguard, that you will fill with a powerful whitening gel. Over the course of several treatments, this gel will interact with any stains and discolorations on your teeth to give you a glowing, brilliant smile. Additional, periodic whitening treatments will help maintain your bright smile, if needed. Ask about whitening today!
Cosmetic Dentistry
When you look at your smile, is there something that prevents it from being the smile of your dreams? Do you long for straighter, brighter, whiter teeth? You can experience the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile with advanced cosmetic dentistry from Dr. Nichols.
General Dentistry
To build and maintain a beautiful smile for life, you need a dental care “home.” Dr. Nichols and his entire dental team ensure you of continued, state-of-the-art care by giving you access to a variety of general treatments.
