Many dentists don’t enjoy seeing children- but that couldn’t be further from the truth at Smiles Dental! When we say family dentistry, we mean it! Dr. Timm recommends your child be seen within 6 months of their first tooth erupting or by no later than age 1. Whether your child’s treatment needs consist of cleanings only or includes fillings – find comfort in the fact that Dr. Timm loves to see children for all of their dental needs. We are equipped with laughing gas and overhead movies, should your son or daughter need some distraction.

Prevention is the key to keeping your smile a life time. The team at Smiles Dental uses several strategies to make sure your mouth is in optimum health. In addition to your regular cleaning and check up, Dr. Timm performs an oral cancer screening at that appointment. Other preventative services at our practice include digital x-rays, dental sealants, and fluoride treatments.

But wait, aren’t sealants and fluoride only for children? No way! Dr. Timm performs a comprehensive assessment of your individualized risk for getting cavities. When your risk factors indicate it, choosing preventative dental sealants and regular fluoride treatments now can save you thousands of dollars years down the road.

When a tooth is broken, cracked, or has a large cavity a dental crown can be used to increase the strength and prevent further breakdown of your teeth. Dr. Timm proudly uses local dental labs that fabricate dental crowns and bridges that fit your mouth and bite perfectly.

Missing several or all of your teeth? Complete and partial dentures may be the right option for you. Both types of dentures help maintain chewing function and esthetics but are removed at night. Just like natural teeth, complete and partial dentures need to be properly taken care and regular checkups with Dr. Timm are still essential.

Thanks to the likes of LeBron and Steph Curry, athletic mouthguards have made an appearance in the main stream. Beyond their newfound popularity, athletic mouthguards are incredibly important for protecting your teeth during sporting and other high impact events. There are no over the counter mouthguards that compare to the protection and comfort a custom mouthguard will give you.

Is your son or daughter an athlete at Sigourney or Williamsburg area high schools? Ask us about how they can get a free custom mouthguard fabricated at our office.

For a variety of possible reasons, we sometimes have to take teeth out. The team at Smiles Dental knows that no one looks forward to having teeth taken out, but we aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

ClearCorrect is the clear and simple alternative to braces.
It’s a series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth as you wear them, each aligner moving your teeth just a little bit at a time.

They’re practically invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re in treatment, they fit you perfectly, so they’re more comfortable than regular braces, and they’re removable, so you can eat whatever you like and clean your teeth normally.

Ask Dr. Timm for more information about ClearCorrect and set up a consultation to see what it can do for you.
