Your Endicott, NY, Dentist
Douglas A. Watson, DDS provides general dentistry services as well as restorative and cosmetic procedures to the people of Endicott, NY, and the surrounding communities. These communities include West Corners, Endwell and Campville.
Our Services
No matter what oral health issues you have, we’re here to help. Whether you just want a quick checkup or need extensive dental work, we have the skills and experience to solve it. Some of our services include:
The health of your teeth and gums affects your overall health. Cavities cause pain and can lead to tooth infection. Gum disease means you already have an infection in your gums, which can impact your overall health.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. It changes things like the alignment, position, size, shape, and color of your teeth and the overall aesthetics of your smile.
The field of dentistry which identifies and fixes problems with the health of your teeth is called restorative dentistry. When we fill cavities and repair chipped or broken teeth, we are using restorative dentistry.
Prevention and Cleanings
The best way to get and keep healthy teeth and gums is by good preventive care. Getting regular dental exams and cleanings
are important preventive measures you can take to maintain healthy teeth and gums. By getting dental exams every six months, you make it possible to spot developing cavities and other dental issues early on, before they become big problems.
Gum Disease Care
Gum disease can become a serious problem when you ignore it. Left untreated, it can worsen until infection develops. This infection can cause you to lose teeth. If it spreads, it can also pose risks to your overall health. We look for gum disease when you get your dental exam, and if we find you have gum disease, we devise a treatment plan to address it.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Cavities must be filled in order to protect your teeth from further decay. We use composite resin filling material which we color-match to your existing teeth. You won’t have a metallic smile like with the old amalgam fillings. Your teeth will look completely natural.
Crowns
Some tooth injuries require more than a filling. A broken tooth, or one with a very large cavity, often needs a crown for protection. Porcelain crowns repair your damaged teeth by sitting firmly on top of the tooth like a cap. Crowns are ideal for molars because they are strong and durable. Like tooth-colored fillings, your crown is color-matched to the shade of your natural teeth. Our team are here to help you.
Bridges
A missing tooth or teeth can cause you difficulties. Not only do missing teeth give you an imperfect smile, they can make it difficult to speak clearly or eat normally. A dental bridge fills in the gap left by missing teeth, restoring your smile and your ability to speak and eat normally.
Implants
Having a full set of teeth is important for your appearance, for eating, and for speaking clearly. We give you another option to missing teeth. They are attached firmly to your jaw and won’t slip and you clean them just like your natural teeth, by brushing and flossing. Dental implants look, feel and function just like your real teeth.
Dentures and Partials
Dentures and partials provide a less costly alternative for replacing missing teeth. Dentures and partial dentures (also called a removable bridge) are removed for cleaning.
Because dentures are not attached, there will be an adjustment period while you learn to use them. Partial dentures attach to the surrounding teeth with a clasp.
Dental Appliances
Dental appliances help protect your teeth and alleviate sleep apnea. We can custom-fit an oral appliance for you that prevents damage to your teeth from grinding them at night. For people who play sports, a custom-made sports guard can prevent damage to your teeth while active. People suffering from sleep apnea need help keeping their air passages open at night. We can custom-fit a dental appliance to help with sleep apnea. Patients find this device to be much more comfortable than a CPAP device.
Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera lets us take pictures of what we see in your mouth and display it on a monitor where you can see it, too. So when we recommend a treatment plan to correct dental problems we’ve found, you’ll understand the issues involved and how the treatment plan will remedy them.
Veneers
You can completely transform the appearance of your teeth using porcelain veneers. Stained or discolored teeth can be made to look cleaner and whiter while uneven teeth can be made uniform in height. Gaps between your teeth can also be handled with veneers.
If you are unhappy with the way your teeth look, veneers may be the solution which gives you the attractive smile you want.
Teeth Whitening
Have your teeth become less white than they used to be? As we get older, the accumulated stains on our teeth make them yellow and less attractive. Professional teeth whitening can restore the brighter look your teeth had when you were younger.
Sealants
The pits and grooves in your teeth can be breeding grounds for bacteria which cause cavities. For some people, these pits and grooves hold onto food particles even with proper brushing. A dental sealant can protect these vulnerable areas, reducing the chances of tooth decay.
