At Winter Dental, we describe ourselves as insurance-friendly—and that’s an important distinction. While we are not contracted with specific insurance companies, we still gladly accept most plans. We’re happy to contact your insurance provider and provide a treatment estimate in advance.

A tooth infection (often called a dental abscess) happens when bacteria get inside the tooth or the surrounding gum tissue and create a pocket of pus. While that sounds alarming (and it can be), understanding what’s going on is the first step toward getting relief and protecting your overall health.

Accidents happen, and knocking out a tooth can be a frightening experience. Whether from a sports injury, fall, or other trauma, acting quickly can significantly improve the chances of saving the tooth.

Having damaged teeth is difficult, but sometimes going to the dentist can be even more difficult. Especially when they have to make messy impressions, the turnaround time is weeks and leaves you vulnerable in the meantime. Luckily enough at Winter Dental, our procedures for crowns require no messy impressions and allow you to be in and out in one visit thanks to the Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC).

You should consider which treatment option will best treat your individual situation. While you should speak with Dr. Nick or Dr. Stuart before making your final decision, we have included issues that Invisalign® can effectively treat.

Dental implants are used to support the replacement of a single tooth or multiple teeth depending on the individual’s requirements and condition. Reading about the pros and cons of the process may help you decide if dental implants are right for you.
