Dental Services in Raleigh, NC
From routine dental care to cosmetic dental enhancements, we help patients improve their oral health and confidence in their smiles. Our full dental services include:
General Dentistry
With general dental treatments, we help patients prevent the likelihood of developing future oral health problems. Preventative care can include:
- Root Canal Treatment: A root canal removes infected cells, nerves, and blood vessels from inside a tooth. Removing this dental pulp and sealing the tooth with a dental filling preserves the natural tooth structure. To learn more about the root canal process, see Root Canal.
- Emergency Dental Care: Call us if you have a dental injury, damaged restoration, or knocked-out tooth. We can recommend the right treatment to address your dental emergency. To see what you should do in a dental emergency, see Emergency Dentistry.
- Dental Sedation: Oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and nitrous oxide calm and relax patients during dental treatment. Sedation dentistry also helps patients with dental anxiety. To learn more about the sedation options we offer, see Sedation Dentistry.
- Tooth Extractions: Dental extraction treatments remove impacted or infected teeth. After patients heal from extraction treatment, they no longer feel pain due to impaction or infection. To learn more about the extraction process, see Tooth Extraction.
- Custom Sports Mouthguards: Sports mouthguards are a requirement for contact sports. These mouthguards protect teeth and oral appliances like braces from damage or loss. To learn more about the benefits of wearing a custom sports mouthguard, see Custom Mouthguard.
- Pediatric Dentistry: Our Raleigh office provides treatment for adults and children. As a family-friendly practice, we help patients of all ages get the right care for their oral health needs. To learn more about the services we offer for children, see Pediatric Dentistry.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dental treatments enhance patients’ natural smiles. Cosmetic dentistry can brighten teeth and improve the look of the smile:
- Porcelain Veneers: Dental veneers are porcelain, shell-like treatments that can cover stained and damaged teeth. Veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic treatment that addresses one or all teeth in the smile line. To learn more about the benefits of dental veneers, see Porcelain Veneers.
- Tooth Bonding: This cosmetic treatment uses malleable, tooth-colored material to cover chips, cracks, and other minimal tooth damage. To learn more about the things dental bonding can treat, see Teeth Bonding.
- Teeth Whitening: We provide a take-home whitening treatment to help patients erase stains from foods, beverages, tobacco, and other external factors. This treatment uses trays and whitening gel to penetrate the tooth enamel. To learn more about the professional teeth whitening options we offer, see Teeth Whitening.
- Botox: Patients with facial wrinkles can smooth their skin with Botox injections. Botox can also relieve headaches and jaw pain for TMD patients. To learn more about the things Botox can treat, see Botox.
Restorative Dentistry
Using restorative dental treatments, we help patients improve the function of their smiles. Restorative dentistry can restore bite function, replace missing teeth, and reverse gum problems:
- Dental Bridge: A dental bridge restores one or multiple consecutive missing teeth. Dental bridges can use the support of dental implants or crown-capped teeth to stay in place. To learn more about the dental bridge process, see Dental Bridge.
- Tooth Crowns: Dental crowns act like caps to cover damaged and worn teeth. Tooth crowns can also cover dental implants or teeth following root canal treatment. These restorations provide stability and strength for natural teeth or other restorations. To learn more about the dental crown process, see Dental Crown.
- Dental Implants: A dental implant is a post, abutment, and crown that replaces a lost tooth. We work with oral surgeons to provide single or multiple dental implants for patients missing one or all of their permanent teeth. To learn why dental implants are the best tooth replacement option, see Dental Implants.
- Dentures: We help patients restore full rows or arches of missing teeth with partial and complete dentures. Dentures can be removable or fixed. To learn more about the different types of dentures we offer, see Dentures and Partials.
- TMJ Treatment: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) create increased pressure and pain in the jaw joints and teeth. Patients with TMD benefit from our custom-made nightguards to stop teeth clenching and grinding, tooth wear, and jaw pain. Additionally, Dr. Giggey offers Botox injections to relieve headaches, jaw pain, and facial pain from TMD. To learn more about how we can treat your TMJ disorder, see TMJ Treatment.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Patients with gum disease can notice bleeding, inflamed, and even receded gum tissue. Antibacterial rinses and deep cleanings help prevent the spread of gum disease and keep gum tissue intact. To see what the signs of gum disease are, see Periodontal Disease Treatment.
