Don’t worry – many of our patients were once a little (or a lot) nervous just like you! Our caring staff will take all the time needed to make sure you’re completely relaxed.

You can choose between laughing gas, oral sedation, or IV sedation if you’re really nervous. You’ll be in good hands with our competent staff and dentists.

Yes! If you call us in the morning, we’ll see you on the same day. We offer sedation so that you can get painless treatment and stay completely relaxed the whole time. Regardless of what is causing the pain in your mouth, we can help you find a solution and get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Dental X-rays help your dentist stay ahead of developing cavities, gum disease, and other potential issues with your oral health. There are several different types of dental X-rays, including intraoral (taken inside your mouth) and extraoral (taken outside your mouth) that provide valuable information about the overall health of your mouth that wouldn’t be visible otherwise.

If you’ve suffered a broken tooth, we have several options to complete your smile and get you back to health. Depending on the severity of the break and your oral health needs and goals, your dentist may suggest either a crown, veneer, dental implant, dental bonding, dental sealants, or a filling.

Sometimes, a filling isn’t the right solution for your oral health. When a tooth is severely broken or decayed, it won’t have enough natural tooth structure to allow a filling to stay in place. In that case, your dentist may recommend other treatments such as a crown or removing the damaged tooth entirely.

At Drs. Yung and Jelinek Family Dentistry, we have years of experience treating patients who struggle with dental anxiety. That’s why we’re proud to offer several different sedation therapy options to calm your nerves and ensure a safe and comfortable procedure. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation, and depending on your specific needs and treatments, your doctor will discuss sedation options and help choose which is the best fit for you.

In the case of gingivitis or periodontitis, a normal teeth cleaning not only won’t be effective but could actually cause more harm by allowing bacteria to remain trapped below your gums. When it comes to these diseases, non-surgical gum treatments or non-surgical periodontal treatments are the only effective solutions to protecting your teeth and restoring your oral health.

The short answer is no! Fluoride is a mineral found naturally in water, soil, and air. The American Dental Association recommends fluoride toothpaste for both children and adults to prevent cavities, strengthen weakened tooth enamel, reverse early tooth decay, mitigate the growth of oral bacteria, and slow the loss of minerals from tooth enamel.
