Our General Dentistry Services

Air Abrasion

Does the sound of the drill or the feeling of numbness irritate you? If so, you may be an ideal candidate for air-abrasion, or drill-free dentistry. Fast and painless, it is ideal for treating small cavities; this advanced new process clears away tooth decay and conserves the surrounding tooth structure.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge replaces missing teeth with natural-looking artificial teeth, effectively bridging the gap.A bridge is a good general dentistry option for Longview patients whose remaining teeth and gums are in good health.

Porcelain Crowns

Crowns involve the placement of porcelain tooth coverings over badly damaged teeth. When large fillings fail or weaken, teeth crack, or the teeth require cosmetic enhancement, Dr. Winchell recommends crowns because they blend well with your natural smile. He can also use veneers to beautify teeth with similar issues.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are an ideal treatment option for patients who are missing one or more teeth. Comprised of a replacement tooth root to which an artificial tooth is attached, a dental implant looks and functions just like your natural teeth! Ask us about cosmetic dentures too!

“Instant” Orthodontics

Straight, perfectly aligned teeth can be yours without your having to endure years of wearing traditional metal braces thanks to cosmetic dentistry! If your busy schedule, career, or lifestyle make braces an impractical option, Dr. Winchell can help. Ask our staff about correcting your smile in just two or three appointments with “instant” orthodontics!

Panographic X-ray

Our office boasts many new dental technologies, such as the panographic x-ray. This type of dental x-ray pans your mouth externally, enabling us to take a radiograph of your teeth that reveals your maxilla, mandible, sinuses, and all of your teeth. This method is safe and extremely effective in identifying potential oral health problems in their earliest stages.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation, a form of relaxation dentistry, acts a solution for those who want to minimize discomfort and anxiety during their smile treatment. In keeping with the spa dental experience, we want you to feel completely at ease in our office.

Regular Cleanings and Routine Care

Our practice maintains that plaque control, regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and antibacterial therapy are the pillars of maintaining great oral hygiene. Professional cleanings are the only way to remove the tartar that traps bacteria along the gum line. So general dentistry visits in Longview can be increasingly free of cavities and disease, our practice emphasizes prevention and early detection.

Tooth-Colored Fillings and Restorations

Say goodbye to the black fillings that may be marring your white teeth! Often, teeth that were restored years ago with silver-mercury amalgam fillings corrode, yielding unsightly dark spots. When these old fillings are replaced with natural-looking tooth-colored fillings, your teeth can instantly look several shades lighter, allowing you to flash your smile with greater confidence.

*Please note: our cosmetic dentist uses only 100 percent mercury-free, bio-compatible, tooth-colored restorations, a decision he made two decades before the controversy of mercury use in dentistry erupted.

TMJ Disorder

Referring to painful conditions involving the point where the jawbone connects to either side of the skull, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is marked by pain in the jaw or surrounding areas. Dr. Winchell has extensive experience in the treatment of TMJ disorders.
