What sets us apart?
My philosophy is to be kind and to listen. Help make the numbing part go smoother than average and much more comfortable than you expect. Do my best dentistry every time on everyone, but knowing full well that everything doesn’t turn out perfect or exactly how I planned. I expect others to be patient with me and I am patient with them. Lets fix what needs to be fixed, doing the thing that is your best interest for the long term, even if it isn’t the solution you were hoping for. – Dr Ostler

Periodontal (Gum) Disease
Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. There are numerous disease entities requiring different treatment approaches.
Good oral hygiene is essential for overall health and wellbeing. Poor oral hygiene can lead to periodontal disease, which is an infection of the gums and other structures that support the teeth. This infection can cause inflammation, pain, and even tooth loss. But the effects of periodontal disease don’t stop there. Research has shown that periodontal disease can have a negative impact on your overall health.
Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria that accumulate in the mouth. These bacteria can enter the bloodstream and travel to other parts of the body, where they can cause inflammation and other health problems. Studies have linked periodontal disease to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. It has also been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, respiratory problems, and even some forms of cancer.
X-RAYS
X-rays can also be used to detect tumors or cysts in the jawbone. These can be difficult to detect during a visual examination, but X-rays can reveal them quickly and accurately. This allows dentists to provide timely treatment and prevent further damage to the jawbone.
X-rays are also used to plan orthodontic treatments, such as braces. X-rays can reveal the position of the teeth and the shape of the jawbone, allowing dentists to plan the most effective treatment plan.
Overall, X-rays are an important tool in dental care. They allow dentists to detect and diagnose problems that may not be visible during a visual examination. X-rays can also be used to plan orthodontic treatments and detect tumors or cysts in the jawbone. By using X-rays, dentists can provide more comprehensive and accurate treatment plans for their patients, helping to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
