Dr. Aaron Barborka and our team are committed to providing you with the best dental care possible in our Winchester, VA, dental office. We offer a wide range of services to meet all your dental needs. Whether you need a routine check-up, a filling, or a more complex procedure, we are here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Preventive Dental Care
Preventive care is a part of general dentistry and the foundation of good oral health. Regular check-ups and cleanings help prevent dental problems before they start. We recommend visiting us every six months for a thorough exam and cleaning. During your exam, Dr. Barborka will check your teeth and gums for any signs of problems. Our hygienists will clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup to keep your smile healthy and bright.
We also perform X-rays during regular exams. Digital X-rays provide a clear picture of your teeth and jaw, helping us detect issues that may not be visible during a regular exam. They are quick, safe, and an important part of your dental care routine.
Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. We offer fluoride treatments to help keep your teeth strong and healthy. Sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They help prevent cavities by keeping out food and bacteria. Sealants are especially helpful for children but can benefit adults as well.
Restorative Dentistry
If you have a cavity, a broken tooth, or another dental issue, our restorative services can help repair and restore your smile. Our goal is to restore your smile to its full function.
-
Fillings: If you have a cavity, we will remove the decayed part of the tooth and fill it with a durable material to restore its shape and function. We use tooth-colored fillings that blend in with your natural teeth.
-
Crowns: A crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. We use crowns for teeth that are cracked, broken, or severely decayed.
-
Bridges: We use bridges to replace one or more missing teeth. It is anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap and holds artificial teeth in place. These can restore your smile and your ability to chew and speak properly.
-
Root Canals: If the inside of your tooth becomes infected, a root canal can save it. During a root canal, we remove the infected tissue, clean the inside of the tooth, and fill it to prevent further infection.
-
Dentures: Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. We offer both full and partial dentures to help you regain your smile and improve your ability to eat and speak.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can enhance the look of your smile. Whether you want whiter teeth or a complete smile makeover, we offer several cosmetic treatments to help you look your best.
Teeth Whitening: Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can brighten your smile by several shades, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Veneers: Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surfaces of your teeth. They can correct a variety of cosmetic issues, such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration.
Bonding: Bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin to your teeth to repair chips, cracks, or gaps. It’s a quick and painless way to improve the appearance of your smile.
Clear Aligners: Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces. They are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into place.
Sedation Dentistry
We understand that some patients feel anxious about visiting the dentist. Sedation dentistry can help you relax and feel more comfortable during your appointment.
One option we have is nitrous oxide. You will inhale this sedation through a mask over your nose. It helps you feel calm and relaxed during your treatment. The effects wear off quickly, so you can drive yourself home afterward. Oral sedation involves taking a pill before your appointment. It makes you feel drowsy and relaxed. You will need someone to drive you home after your visit.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen at any time. If you have a toothache, a broken tooth, or another urgent dental issue, we are here to help. Contact us right away, and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible.
