Dental Implants

Are you missing one or more teeth?

Dental implants offer a safe, effective, and lasting way to replace your missing teeth. A dental implant consists of an artificial tooth root, a post, and a restoration. The first step in placing a dental implant involves carefully inserting the implant root into the jaw and allowing it to heal over a period of three to six months. A post is then attached to the implant, and a crown, bridge, or denture is secured to the post.

Dental implants will not only improve your appearance, they will also strengthen your bite and help you chew your favorite foods. By filling the space created by missing teeth, dental implants also eliminate the risk of further bones loss and tooth movement that occur when teeth on either side of a gap shift from their natural positions.

If you would like more information about restoring the health and appearance of your smile with dental implants, please contact our office located Clinton, MS. Dental implants have provided thousands of people with strong, beautiful teeth, and Dr. Goolsby can help you to achieve a gorgeous smile with these restorations.

Dentures

As an alternative to dental implants, we offer custom-fitted precision full and partial dentures. Dentures can help restore the beauty of your smile, and reduce the discomfort and chewing problems caused by missing teeth.

Crowns and Bridges

Do you have severely damaged teeth?

With crowns, we can protect teeth that have been badly damaged by decay or trauma. A dental crown is a tooth replica that is used to cover damaged, unattractive teeth in order to prevent fractures and restore beauty. At our office, we offer all-porcelain crowns. These restorations produce vivid, lifelike results without the unaesthetic dark hue around the gum line.

If you are missing a tooth or have one that is too damaged to be repaired with a crown, Dr. Goolsby can replace it using a bridge. A bridge consists of two crowns connected by an artificial tooth. As the crowns are placed over the teeth surrounding an empty space, the artificial tooth fills in the gap. Like dental implants, bridges help to restore bite strength, and reduce speech impediments caused by missing teeth. And because they are custom made to complement the features of your smile, they produce extremely natural-looking results.

Periodontics (Gum Disease Treatment)

Caring for your teeth doesn't do that much good if they don't stay secure in your jaws. Gum disease, which starts as bleeding and tenderness and swelling in the gums, can become a serious infection in its later stages. This process can weaken the structures holding your teeth in place, resulting in them falling out or needing to be removed. While dental implants can be used to replace the teeth, Dr. Goolsby believes that the best course is to avoid the problem in the first place through proper, quality periodontic care. His hygienists are trained and are extremely effective in preventing and treating periodontal diseases.

Endodontics (Root Canals)

When a tooth experiences advanced decay, trauma, or extensive dental work, it is possible for the nerves to die, cause an infection, and create extreme pain. A root canal is used to preserve the tooth by cleaning out the infected or dead nerves from the canals, then filling them with a material. Subsequently, the tooth is restored with a crown that replicates the look and feel of the original tooth.

Technology

Advances in technology allow us not only to perform better procedures, but also to detect the need for procedures more quickly and accurately. Dr. Goolsby's practice employs two systems that use painless light technology to find emerging dental and oral health problems before they become too serious to treat. One is DIAGNOdent®, which is capable of detecting tooth cavities in their very early stages, before a dentist using traditional metal probes would be able to locate them. The other system is called Vizilite Plus®, and it is used to highlight cancerous growths in the soft tissues of the mouth before they become visible to the naked eye. By allowing oral cancer to be caught early, Vizilite Plus® saves lives and reduces treatment costs. Both technologies take advantage of the fact that abnormal tissue reflects and absorbs high-energy light in different ways than healthy tissue does. By using them to find problems when they are less serious and easier to treat, Dr. Goolsby is able to give his patients the simplest and most effective treatments at the appropriate times.
