Preventative Care Therapy (General Cleanings)

These are your “typical” dental cleanings. Why do we recommend cleanings every 6 months? Our goal is to support your oral health and help you maintain a healthy beautiful smile that looks and feels great for many years to come.

Necessary Radiographs

At Robinson Grimm DentalCare, we have the most up to date capabilities in dental radiography. Our Digital radiographs are utilized to detect cavities, both large and small, as well as to serve as a secondary look at the apex, or the area around the tip of the root. Early detection of decay is key to maintaining optimal health.

Comprehensive Oral Evaluation

A comprehensive oral evaluation includes a review of medical history, an oral cancer screening, an evaluation of soft and hard tissues, a review of diagnostic radiographs, detection of tooth decay, and an evaluation of TMJ and occlusion. These components will be used to discuss your oral health goals and identify your treatment options.

Periodic Oral Examinations

For our active patients, we offer periodic examinations which allow us to detect any changes to your oral health.

Periodontal Therapy

In the presence of bone loss and periodontal disease, periodontal therapy may be required. In periodontal therapy our goal is to remove deep pockets of calculus and to provide proper education to restore and maintain proper oral health.

Fluoride Treatments

Did you know that fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral? What’s even more important is that it has been found to strengthen your tooth structure helping to prevent tooth decay. Talk to your dentist about healthy fluoride options.

Root Canals

A Root Canal Treatment is essentially a deep filling in the tooth. In a root canal procedure, our goal is to help eradicate the bacteria from the inside of the tooth. Our first line of care will always be to salvage the tooth, and in some cases, a root canal is necessary to restore the tooth to proper health.

Tooth Extractions

At Robinson Grimm DentalCare our goal is to provide you with a beautiful and healthy smile. Our desire is to salvage and restore your own teeth to proper health. However, we understand that this may not always be the case due to previous trauma to your tooth or decay. Removing a tooth is typically the last option after other treatment options have been discussed and determined to be ineffective.

Emergency Examinations

At Robinson Grimm DentalCare, our staff is dedicated to the well-being of our patient family. We understand that even with the best of care, emergency situations can develop, and we work hard to see you for an emergency examination the same day you need it. Though we cannot always guarantee treatment that same day, our dentists will determine the best course necessary for your unique situation and will help you handle it appropriately. For emergencies during non-business hours please call 931-510-4922 (our after-hours emergency phone number) and our on-call dentist will return your call as soon as possible.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

With a tooth-colored filling at Robinson Grimm DentalCare, our dentists and expanded function dental assistants will help you get your comfort and smile back quickly, easily, and beautifully.

Tooth-colored fillings are made of a composite resin, that is specifically utilized in the mouth. These fillings are placed while the material is somewhat soft and pliable, is shaped and formed to perfectly fit your natural dental anatomy. A light is utilized to polymerize the material into a strong, natural and beautiful tooth restoration. It is then polished to exactly fit your bite, for a natural feel.

Nightguards and Bruxism Guards

A custom nightguard is a preventative measure that can be used to prevent cracks from forming in your teeth from excessive biting pressure, clenching or the grinding of your teeth. Another great benefit of a nightguard is a good night’s rest. A properly fabricated and adjusted nightguard will help your facial muscles relax throughout your sleeping cycle, allowing for more restful sleep. Secondary to relaxed facial muscles is a custom night guard that will relieve pressure placed on the disc between your jaw and your skull. Continuous pressure and stress on the disc can lead to issues such as headaches and muscle tension.

Please speak to one of our team members about getting a custom nightguard at your next visit.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Included with every complete examination is oral cancer visual and tactile screening. The goal of an oral cancer screening is to help you recognize the signs of oral cancer as soon as possible
