• Regular Dental Check Ups

  Anyone who’s serious about maintaining positive dental health should make sure to receive complete oral regular checkups at least twice per year. Each visit includes an examination, cleaning, and other services. Although at-home brushing and flossing are essential, there are some tasks that can only be completed in a dental office. Toothbrush | Dental Cleanings In ThorntonThe best way to get started is with regular checkups. These visits help our experts to gain a complete assessment of a patient’s current oral health and if necessary, establish a personalized plan to help them improve it. Patients can also expect to receive a thorough cleaning that will access difficult-to-reach areas and provide a pleasant sensation of oral freshness. Other services offered with regular checkups include digital X-rays and an oral cancer screening. Regular checkups are usually the first appointment a patient will make at Glacier Peak Dentistry. We feel that it is very important to obtain a full understanding of a new patient’s dental health and any problems or conditions they might be experiencing. I needed, we will make recommendations for additional treatments and services based on our findings. From there, we will advise the patient to return to us in another six months for their next checkup.

• Dentures

  Dentures are a major step that many people take to improve their oral health. We will help you make this transition by providing you with high-quality dentures and the best service possible. Dental Chair | Dentures In ThorntonA full set of dentures will serve as a brand-new set of top or bottom teeth. The device effectively replaces lost teeth. Although this might seem like a dramatic option, many people find that it is in the best interest of their oral health. They often find it preferable to managing constant dental problems and conditions, and prosthetic teeth might be easier for them to maintain. Modern dentures are highly regarded for their natural appearance and their outstanding performance. It is quite easy to understand how dentures function, as they are simply natural-looking artificial teeth secured to a gum-colored base. Each component is custom-built and crafted with appearance and function in mind so that the patient receives the best possible result. At Glacier Peak Dentistry, we offer fixed and traditional dentures. Fixed dentures use dental implants to remain securely in place while traditional dentures rely primarily on suction, and they can be removed for easy cleaning.

  Athletes don’t want to let dental injuries get in the way of competing. You can keep your teeth and oral structures safe with our custom-designed mouth guard which promotes protection and comfort. As many athletes know, it only takes one hit or accident to cause major harm. While this doesn’t stop many people from competing, any committed athlete will want to reduce this possibility as much as possible. A properly fitted mouth guard gives an athlete the best chance of avoiding a serious oral health injury. Glacier Peak Dentistry understands this need, and we offer protective athletic mouth guards for athletes of all ages.

• Periodontal Services

  Providing effective treatment for gum disease is one of our top goals at Glacier Peak Dentistry. Our team is here to help you manage periodontitis so that you can improve your oral health. Periodontitis, which many people refer to as gum disease, is not something to take lightly. The condition affects nearly half of all adults to some degree, and it can lead to some very serious consequences if it is not managed effectively. A person can spot the early signs of periodontitis by recognizing irritation on their gums. This irritation is caused by bacteria, tartar and plaque that attacks the gum tissue. At this initial stage, the gums may appear slightly swollen and darkened in color. They may also bleed when the individual brushes their teeth or when they receive a dental checkup. Although it might seem easy to ignore the problem during this phase, this is only the start of the issues that will likely follow.

• Tooth Colored Fillings

  Cavities and minor tooth decay are easily managed through tooth-colored fillings. A composite filling will leave your tooth looking great and functioning perfectly. By making dental visits regularly and keeping up with your oral health, you can catch cavities and decay before they develop into serious issues. When a cavity or decay is discovered, we can usually fix the problem with a tooth-colored filling. This is one of the most common treatments we provide at our practice. A tooth-colored filling involves applying a filling substance directly to a tooth’s area of decay. This will seal off any voids or openings and prevent bacteria and food particles from accessing the tooth’s inner structure. This will also restore the tooth’s integrity and strength to make it more suitable for proper chewing. Fillings must be provided in a timely manner, or more serious damage will occur.

• Dental Crowns

  Patients who lose or severely damage teeth can expect to receive top-quality restorations at Glacier Peak Dentistry. We provide natural-looking dental crowns & bridges that offer the performance and reliability you need. Crowns and bridges are provided when a patient has one or more teeth that are lost or severely damaged. Our crowns and bridges are remarkably strong and sturdy, and they will make it much easier for the user to chew properly and speak. This is because we construct our crowns and bridges from porcelain. This is one of the most highly regarded materials in the dental community, both for its natural look and exceptional performance. Since these are custom-built restorations, a patient must make at least two visits to Glacier Peak Dentistry to receive a crown or bridge. The initial visit involves taking impressions of the existing teeth. A dental laboratory will then use these impressions to create a customized restoration to replace or repair the lost or damaged structure. The patient will return for a follow-up visit to have it installed and fitted once it is ready.

• Sedation Dentistry

  We perform sedation dentistry during many dental treatments to help patients remain comfortable and relaxed. Effective sedation will make your visit more pleasing and help our team provide top-quality treatment. Sedation is commonly used in dental treatments to help improve the experience for patients.

Glacier Peak Dentistry specializes in quick and effective cosmetic dentistry treatments that ensure top-quality results. Cosmetic dental treatments are provided with the primary goal of making one’s smile appear more attractive, rather than improving the individual’s oral health. While receiving cosmetic treatment is completely optional, these procedures can go a very long way toward correcting noticeable imperfections and boosting one’s confidence. For example, cosmetic treatments can make teeth appear straighter, improve spacing and make much-needed adjustments in color. Our cosmetic dentistry treatments feature minimal patient downtime and fast recovery periods. Glacier Peak Dentistry offers professional teeth whitening treatments and smile-enhancing dental veneers. Our experts can help you determine the best cosmetic treatment option for your needs.

• Invisalign

  You can count on Invisalign Clear Aligners for an easy and effective orthodontic treatment. A straighter, more pleasing smile is within your grasp thanks to Invisalign. Many people are hesitant to begin orthodontic treatment because they believe it will present many inconveniences. The truth is that it often does not have to be that way. Invisalign Clear Aligners serve as an effective option that presents minimal impact on the user’s daily life and oral care routine. When using Invisalign, patients will wear a series of tightly fitted clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. Aligners are only removed to eat, drink or for oral hygiene. Aligners are replaced with new ones every two weeks. If you’re hoping to get started with Invisalign in Thornton, Colorado, look no further than Glacier Peak Dentistry.

These devices are comfortable and discreet, and they present minimal inconvenience for the user.

• Teeth Whitening

  There’s no need to worry if your smile does not shine as brightly as you would like. Our whitening treatments will help you overcome teeth discolorations and achieve a better smile. When a person imagines a healthy smile, they usually picture white and vibrant teeth. We can brighten a person’s smile and help them improve overall shading with our fast and effective teeth whitening treatments. Glacier Peak Dentistry is proud to offer top-notch professional teeth whitening treatments in Thornton, Colorado. Discolorations are caused by staining that occurs both on a tooth’s outer surface and deep within a tooth’s enamel. In order to effectively whiten teeth, we must attack both the internal and external staining that detracts from a healthy appearance. Glacier Peak Dentistry accomplishes this using professional teeth whitening products from Opalescence. We will apply a powerful hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the teeth and activate the gel to release oxygen ions. These ions flood the teeth and eliminate all traces of staining. This effectively bleaches the teeth and leaves them up to eight shades whiter. Patients usually get the results they desire with just one treatment, and they experience minimal, if any, discomfort or irritation. The process typically takes less than 45 minutes, and it is perfectly safe for patients looking to quickly whiten their teeth.

• Veneers

  Veneers can be used to treat many cosmetic issues including chips, cracks, misaligned teeth and spacing issues. Glacier Peak Dentistry offers top-quality veneers to improve your smile. It can be very troubling when a person’s teeth are chipped, stained or uneven. Even a minor imperfection can severely disrupt an otherwise perfect smile. Veneers offer a way to correct noticeable flaws and improve the appearance of one’s teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-designed shells that are applied to the front surface of the teeth and secured using a dental adhesive. Veneers offer many benefits for teeth, and they can go a long way towards helping a person achieve a more pleasing look. Our practice offers traditional, no-prep, porcelain, composite, EMAX brand and Empress brand veneers.

This is one of the most highly regarded materials in the dental community, both for its natural look and exceptional performance.

• Dental Implants

  An often overlooked portion of a tooth’s structure is the root. A successful root system does more than just provide nutrients for a living tooth. It also keeps the tooth steady and secure. Dental implants provide optimal support for a replacement tooth or teeth by mimicking the natural root structure.Dental Implants Thornton A dental implant is a small screw-like appliance that is inserted into the jawbone. Implants are built from surgical-grade titanium, and they are attached to a supporting post that keeps a crown or bridge held in place as needed. It is also possible to use multiple implants together to secure a complete set of removable or fixed dentures. The main advantage of using titanium dental implants is that they fuse with the natural jawbone material and prevents the bone loss that occurs with tooth loss.

• Pediatric Dentistry

  The best way to achieve a beautiful smile as an adult is to make regular dental visits at an early age. Many parents don’t realize that their child is at risk for developing tooth decay as soon as their first teeth begin emerging. That is why our dentists recommend that a child makes their first dental visit by their first birthday. From there, your child should continue to make dental visits twice per year so that we can monitor their teeth as they grow and develop. It’s much easier to maintain one’s oral health early in life than it is to correct problems in adulthood. You can count on our team to keep your child’s teeth healthy.
