Exams & Cleanings

Plaque and tartar build up in spots a toothbrush simply can't reach, so even diligent home care needs the backup of regular in-office exams and professional cleanings to catch issues early. Each comprehensive exam pairs digital X-rays and an oral cancer screening with a careful look at your teeth, gums, and bite.

Crowns and bridges at Brammeier Family Dental

Crowns & Bridges

Cracked, severely decayed, or root-canal-weakened teeth get a second life with dental crowns, which cover and protect what remains. When teeth are missing altogether, bridges close the gap with connected crowns anchored to the neighboring teeth, bringing back your ability to chew and smile with confidence.

Fillings & Bonding

Using the same tooth-colored composite, we fill cavities so they all but disappear and reshape chips, cracks, and discoloration with dental bonding. Because both treatments conserve your natural tooth structure and blend right into your smile, there is no metal involved at all.

Gum disease treatment at Brammeier Family Dental

Gum Disease Treatment

Adults lose more teeth to gum disease than to anything else, yet catching it early changes the outcome entirely. From reversible gingivitis through advanced periodontitis, we diagnose and treat every stage with deep cleanings, ongoing maintenance, and surgical options where they are needed to protect your teeth and bone.

Your dental health is in good hands here. A comprehensive exam is the place to begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most patients, a dental exam and cleaning every 6 months keeps things on track. If you have gum disease or certain other conditions, you may do better coming in every 3–4 months. Drs. Brammeier and Ericson will recommend the schedule that fits your oral health needs.

A comprehensive exam brings together several checks: digital X-rays that reveal hidden problems, a visual look at every tooth and the surrounding gums, an oral cancer screening, a bite assessment, and time to talk through any symptoms or concerns you have noticed.

Yes. A great deal hides where the naked eye cannot look, and X-rays bring it into view: cavities between teeth, bone loss from gum disease, infections at the tooth root, and developing wisdom teeth. Digital X-rays make this critical diagnostic tool possible with minimal radiation.

A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) clears plaque and tartar from above the gum line as part of routine preventive care. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) reaches below the gum line and is used to treat gum disease. Drs. Brammeier and Ericson will recommend which one you need based on your gum health.

It is never too late to start caring for your dental health. Plenty of our patients arrive after many years away, and we meet them without any judgment, assessing where things stand today and building a comfortable, manageable treatment plan from there.

With most dental insurance plans, preventive care such as exams, cleanings, and X-rays is covered at 100%, while restorative work like fillings and crowns is covered at 50–80%. We work with most insurance providers and offer financing options for anything left uncovered.

Call our office right away. For severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken restorations, and other urgent problems, we provide emergency dental care. Go straight to the nearest emergency room if you have uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling affecting breathing, or trauma.

Yes! Patients of every age are welcome here. A child's first dental visits should start by age one or whenever that first tooth appears. Our Kids Dentistry page has more on our child-friendly approach.

The best treatment is prevention. Book your family's dental exams today and stay a step ahead of problems.
