Orthodontics


It’s never too late to bring your teeth into proper alignment with efficient, highly effective orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic care need not be lengthy and uncomfortable. Our dentists can minimize the amount of time spent wearing braces or other orthodontic devices. Campbell & Schmidt Cosmetic & Family Dentistry offers the Invisalign® orthodontic system, in which a series of clear, removable aligners are used to gradually straighten the teeth more discreetly than traditional metal braces. Braces are usually worn for one to three years, depending on the patient’s age and the severity of the misalignment. In some cases, patients can achieve their desired results by simply wearing a retainer. Please speak with our dentists to determine which type of orthodontic care is appropriate for you.

The Magic of Orthodontics
Proper alignment of the teeth is basic to “Smile Design”. Their position dictates how they work together and affects the way you look and smile. Only orthodontic treatment can move teeth into the right position. Simply put, when things look right, they probably are right.

TMJ Treatment


A misaligned jaw can cause numerous problems in the rest of the body, including facial tenderness, headaches, and hearing problems. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are disorders of the jaw caused by grinding and clenching of the teeth. Often, this grinding occurs only during sleep, so it is easy not to be aware of the damage that is being done. In such cases, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Schmidt can create a bite splint or night guard to prevent TMJ damage. This guard is clear and custom fitted to your teeth to ensure a comfortable fit.

Composite Fillings


Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are an advanced, aesthetically pleasing method of treating tooth decay. Worn or broken teeth may also be repaired with composite fillings. The shade of these fillings is matched to the color of your teeth to create a more natural appearance than is possible with dark metal fillings. In addition, composite fillings are stronger than their metal counterparts, bonding to the chemical structure of the tooth for added support. See our Before and After Gallery

Composite Bonding


Composite bonding is a highly effective means of restoring teeth which have been damaged by chips, decay, cracks, and discoloration. Our dentists will match the composite resin bonding material to the color of your teeth. The resin will be molded over the damaged area and hardened upon exposure to a special light. Once the resin has been polished by Dr. Campbell or Dr. Schmidt, the bonded area will feel and look remarkably natural.

Implant Restoration


Dental implants are an advanced solution for tooth loss caused by injury, gum disease, and tooth decay. A dental implant is a tiny titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jaw. This post acts as an artificial tooth root and is used to support a natural-looking replacement tooth.

Patients should have this post attached by an oral surgeon. It usually takes three to six months for the implant to integrate fully with the jawbone, after which time our dentists will attach the custom-crafted artificial tooth.
