Dental Cleanings & Exams
All the Essentials
Your teeth are important, and we're here to help you take care of them. Regular teeth cleaning is essential for good oral health, preventing cavities, gingivitis, and overall well-being.
Your teeth will be well taken care of by our expert dental hygienists, who can easily remove plaque and tartar buildup. We offer a thorough cleaning with options to choose from so that you can have the best experience possible.
We understand that dental appointments can be stressful, so we happily offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for those who are nervous about dental visits. You’ll love the videos and streaming services available for you and your kids to watch during your appointment, making the experience comfortable and relaxing.
We leverage cutting-edge dental technologies, including digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, to give you convenient, effective, and comfortable oral exams.
You don’t have to stress about cleaning and exams at Barclay Dental. With our help, you'll be in and out in no time and leave with a clean, beautiful smile!
Root Canals
Treat the Tooth, Save the Smile
At Barclay Dental, we’re ready and more than capable of performing root canal treatment – removing infections and saving your tooth.
It’s important to us that you’re as comfortable as possible during this procedure, too. You’ll have a variety of anesthetic options to ensure your therapy is quick, easy, and pain-free.
During endodontic therapy, also called Root canal therapy, the pulp tissue from inside the tooth is removed. This mainly consists of nerve tissue and blood vessels.
Endodontic therapy is applied when the pulp tissue is irreversibly damaged by bacteria, which means you may lose the tooth if it is not root canal treated. Pulp tissue can be damaged by decay, tooth fracture, very deep cavities, and periodontal disease.
Once the pulp tissue is removed from the canals of the tooth, they are sealed with a bio-compatible material known as gutta-percha. This ensures that the canals of the teeth are sealed from any possible further infection or bacteria.
Current improved technology allows us to complete the treatment much faster and more comfortably than what was previously possible.
Simple, Comfortable Tooth Extractions
While our number-one approach will always emphasize preventative and restorative care, tooth extractions are a reality of dental care.
Sometimes the best option for your overall oral health is tooth extraction. Luckily, Barclay Dental is well-equipped to make extractions quicker and more painless than you might imagine.
Extraction will always be the last option, and we can usually prevent the problems that lead to extraction and often save teeth in danger of requiring one. But here are some signs that it might be the right move:
- Severe discomfort in your tooth or jaw, which may indicate a dental abscess or severe infection.
- Pain while biting down or chewing, it could be a sign of a cavity or infection.
- Signs such as pus or bleeding; if noticed, schedule an appointment with our Rochester Hills office at (248) 844-1036 right away.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can be painful and disruptive to your daily life.
At Barclay Dental, we offer same-day appointments and flexible scheduling to make sure you get prompt and helpful care when you need it.
Give us a call if you experience any of the following:
- Severe toothache
- Broken or chipped tooth
- Wisdom tooth problems
- Loose or lost filling or crown
- Abscess or infection
- Wisdom tooth pain
Don’t waste time and money by detouring to the ER in the event of a dental emergency! Dr. Meri, Dr. Salem, and our knowledgeable staff are ready to provide the care and attention you need at our general dentistry office in Rochester Hills and Shelby Township.
While an ER can stop bleeding and treat pain, they won’t be able to address the specifics of your dental emergency. At Barclay Dental, you’ll benefit from the latest technology and techniques to ensure your comfort during the procedure and provide post-operative care instructions to promote healing.
