Millions of Americans deliberately put off going to the dentist because of some level of anxiety. Dr. Tucker specializes in minimally invasive dentistry and has at her disposal various sedation options.
Excellent oral hygiene is essential not only for your smile but your overall health. Regular exams and professional cleanings can prevent or lower your risk of stroke or heart disease and many other health problems, and can keep you healthier and looking incredible.
Digital Radiography allows Dr. Tucker to view a clean, extremely high-resolution image immediately while at the same time exposing you to up to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays.
Dr. Tucker can diagnose many Periodontal issues including gum disease during a periodontal examination, which is part of your regular dental check-up. Periodontal treatments depend on the type and severity of the disease.
Dr. Tucker's examination of the TMJ area includes examining the joints and muscles for tenderness, clicking, popping or difficulty moving. Dependant on her findings, Dr. Tucker, may recommend fixing an uneven bite by adjusting or reshaping some teeth, or she may recommend Orthodontic treatment.
Do you suffer from Bruxism (clenching or grinding of the teeth)? Do you snore loudly at night? Do you play sports either professionally or recreationally? If you answered yes to any of those questions you could benefit from a custom mouthguard from Dr. Tucker.
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep, you might have sleep apnea.
At our Downtown Seattle Dental office, Dr Gloria Tucker only uses the highest grade composite materials. We do not use amalgam which contains mercury. And we use the BIOCLEAR technique for every fillings. We take pride in our exquisite fillings and this is our specialty.
When tooth structure is compromised more extensively, a regular composite filling will not suffice. The dentist may recommend more coverage of the tooth structure to give it more stability and better long term prognosis.
Veneers are a minimally invasive dental procedure in which porcelain or resin composite is bonded to the surface of your teeth. This procedure is the ideal choice for enhancing the appearance of your smile.
Missing teeth can be replaced either by traditional bridges or with the newer technology, implants.
Root canal therapy is a procedure, treating the blood vessels and the nerves that supply the tooth. When a tooth is badly decayed or traumatized to the level of irreversible pulpitis, a root canal specialist will excavate the nerve and pulpal tissue and will fill the chamber. The term "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canals inside a tooth's root.
Everyone wants a perfect smile and many get their first set of braces in middle school. But if you forgot to wear your retainers and your teeth moved from their perfect locations, here at Downtown Seattle Dentist office, we can fix that for you with our clear retainers.
Having a gorgeous bright smile is achievable by regular dental exams and cleanings. Our teeth naturally get darker, stained, and crowded over time. And then there are those patients that have chromogenic staining and struggle with a black line forming around their gum line.
Sometimes after straightening teeth or other dental works such as deep cleanings, or simply the aging process we are faced with formation of black triangles between our teeth. These triangles in healthy young individuals are usually filled with the healthy gingiva (papila). When there is no papila our smiles may not look so good, or food may always get impacted there.
