Why Visit Our Dental Office
Your smile deserves regular care and attention. Visiting Dr. Li every six months helps catch small problems before they become bigger ones. During these visits, we clean your teeth, check for cavities, and look for early signs of gum disease or oral cancer.
Many dental problems don’t cause pain until they’re serious. Regular check-ups allow us to spot issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and even bite problems in their earliest stages. This means simpler, less expensive treatments for you.
Beyond just checking your teeth, we also examine your gums, tongue, and mouth tissues for any signs of health concerns. Some health conditions like diabetes and heart disease can show signs in your mouth first. By maintaining regular dental visits, you’re taking an important step for your overall health.
Your dental visit is also a perfect time to ask questions about your oral health habits. We can provide tips on better brushing techniques, flossing methods, and recommend products that might work best for your specific needs.
Our Dental Services
General Dentistry
General dentistry forms the foundation of our practice. These services focus on preventing problems and maintaining your oral health for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Dr. Li conducts thorough examinations that include checking for cavities, evaluating your gum health, and screening for oral cancer. We use digital X-rays that expose you to less radiation while providing clearer images to help us spot problems early.
Even with excellent home care, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Our gentle yet thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing miss. We’ll also polish your teeth to remove light stains and make them feel smooth and clean.
For added protection, we offer fluoride treatments that strengthen your tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. They’re especially beneficial for children but can help adults with cavity-prone teeth too. We also provide dental sealants for children and adults with deep grooves in their molars, creating an extra layer of protection against cavities.
When decay does occur, Dr. Li uses tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your smile. These modern materials bond directly to your tooth structure, providing both strength and a natural appearance. We also offer treatments for gingivitis and more advanced gum disease to help restore your gum health and protect your teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
When you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, it can affect your confidence. Our cosmetic dentistry services help enhance your natural beauty while maintaining proper function.
Our professional-grade whitening treatments can brighten your smile by several shades in just one visit. We also offer take-home whitening kits for more gradual results or touch-ups after in-office treatment.
For more significant cosmetic concerns, we offer porcelain veneers – thin shells of porcelain that can transform teeth that are discolored, chipped, misshapen, or slightly misaligned. These provide a natural-looking solution that can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance.
Tooth bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to restore the appearance of your teeth with minor chips, gaps, or discoloration. This affordable option can often be completed in a single visit.
If you have multiple cosmetic concerns, Dr. Li can create a customized smile makeover plan. This might combine several treatments to achieve your ideal smile while maintaining proper function and oral health.
Restorative Dentistry
Sometimes teeth need more than just preventive care. Our restorative services help repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones to restore both function and appearance.
When a tooth is severely damaged or weakened, a crown can provide protection and strength. Our natural-looking crowns are custom-made to match your existing teeth in shape, size, and color.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, we offer several replacement options. Dental bridges fill the gap and are anchored to neighboring teeth, looking and functioning like natural teeth. For the most natural-looking and functioning replacement, dental implants consist of a titanium post that acts as a tooth root, topped with a custom-made crown. Dr. Li works with skilled specialists to provide comprehensive implant care.
When infection reaches the inner pulp of your tooth, root canal therapy can save the tooth and relieve pain. Today’s techniques make this procedure comfortable and similar to getting a filling.
For patients missing multiple teeth, full or partial dentures can restore your smile and ability to eat and speak properly. Dr. Li creates custom-fitted dentures that look natural and feel comfortable.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
We understand that many people feel anxious about dental visits. That’s why we’ve created a warm, welcoming environment and offer comfort options to help you relax. From neck pillows and blankets to entertainment options and gentle techniques, we strive to make every visit as comfortable as possible.
For patients with more significant anxiety, we also offer sedation dentistry options. These safe, effective methods help you remain calm and comfortable throughout your treatment.
We welcome new patients of all ages to our Clarksville practice. Whether you need a routine check-up, have a specific concern, or want to enhance your smile’s appearance, Dr. Li and our team are here to help. Call us at (812) 506-2294 or use our online form to request a consultation.
