We provide a wide range of dental care services and make every effort to go beyond your expectations by excelling in standard services and keeping up with dental technology. We want our patients to experience quality dentistry that will have them coming back to us!
Popular general dentistry treatments we offer include:
Dental Hygiene or Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings are one of the most effective preventative measures to maintain your oral health. Our experienced staff in Lafayette, CO, will ensure that plaque, tartar, and calcium buildup are removed, so your teeth are shiny and smooth when you leave our family dental care office.
Dental Bonding
A misshapen or lightly damaged tooth can be reshaped and repaired using a tooth-colored composite bonding material. For our teeth bonding procedures, we mold the correct tooth shape, and then place and harden the bonding material, which instantly restores your damaged tooth.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an excellent option for replacing a missing tooth. Our dental bridges are supported by dental crowns placed on your natural teeth on either side, restoring functionality and aesthetics to your smile. A tooth bridge can also be supported by dental implants.
Dental Crowns
If one of your teeth sustains heavy damage like cracks, breaks, or deep cavities, dental crowns can be used to provide protection and strength. Tooth crowns or “tooth caps” are custom-made from molds of your natural teeth to ensure a natural feel and fit.
Dental Fillings
When dental fillings are necessary, our office uses quality materials, including our tooth-colored composite dental filling. The composite is durable, natural-looking, and healthier than metal tooth fillings.
Gum Disease Treatment
Did you know that gum disease is linked to heart disease? Dr. West and Dr. Johns offer both standard and advanced laser treatments to patients suffering from gingivitis or periodontitis. Our team can identify and stop the spread of gum disease, restoring health to your gums and teeth for a healthier you!
Root Canals
Teeth can occasionally become infected or damaged over time, regardless of how often you brush your teeth. If the root or pulp of your tooth is damaged, Dr. Johns, DDS, can perform a root canal to remove the damaged pulp or tooth infection, alleviating your pain.
Whatever your oral health concern, bring it to our talented dentists at Boulder County Smiles!
The Benefits of General Dentistry
General dentistry is the first line of prevention. A regular cleaning and exam can prevent tooth infections, cavities, and gum disease. These cleanings remove bacteria and plaque from your teeth—preventing that buildup can literally save your teeth.
Prevention helps you decrease the amount of more invasive treatments that you might need later on if an issue were to be ignored. For example, gum disease can be prevented by a simple clean or deep clean, preventing potential gum surgery.
Catching Issues Early
Exams, X-rays, and scans are also an essential part of prevention and early care. We use state-of-the-art imaging technology, including lasers, to aid us in being as detailed as possible. Dr. West or Dr. Johns will use the scans to analyze potential weak spots in your teeth, and suggest treatments or oral health approaches can can keep your smile healthy.
