Dental Exams, X-rays & Cleanings

At Montana Dental Works – Cosmetic, Implant & Laser Dentistry, we believe in the power of preventive care to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent dental complications. Dr. Dan McAllister encourages patients to visit our Kalispell, MT, practice for routine exams, dental X-rays, and dental cleaning to prevent dental complications like tooth decay. These checkups allow our general dentists and hygienists to evaluate the health of your gums and supporting bone structure while also performing a thorough cleaning.

Periodontal Health

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, results from bacterial overgrowth and can lead to various issues, including: 

  • Soreness
  • Bleeding gums
  • Bad breath
  • Eventual bone loss around your teeth 

Our comprehensive treatments for all stages of gum disease, including scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), effectively remove the bacterial buildup from your teeth and gums, emphasizing the importance of preventive care in maintaining good oral hygiene.

Restorations/Fillings

If cavities are detected on your X-rays or during your dental exam, we’ll treat them by removing the infected portion of the tooth and replacing it with a tooth-colored filling. This routine procedure, a crucial aspect of preventive care, ensures both a seamless appearance and long-term durability. Our Kalispell dental practice uses custom composite fillings to ensure a stunning appearance and long-term durability.

Extractions

In cases where a tooth is beyond repair due to a large cavity, fracture, or infection, extractions may be necessary. Dr. McAllister performs routine and surgical extractions in our Kalispell, MT, office, using local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. For added convenience, we offer bone grafts to strengthen your jaw and dental implants to replace missing teeth, highlighting our commitment to preserving oral health through preventive and restorative measures.
