Restorative Dentistry.

Root Canal Treatment.

Dr. Brent Huckabay understands that getting a root canal treatment can be an intimidating and anxiety-inducing prospect, so he and his team do everything in their power to help you relax when you come to our office. We will make certain that your root canal in Midland, Texas, is as comfortable as possible. For more information about how we make your treatment comfortable and to schedule your consultation with our dentist, please contact us today. Commonly called a root canal, root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy that is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This may occur if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel layer. When left untreated, this type of infection and disease may cause the tooth to die and necessitate tooth extraction. To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for extraction, Dr. Huckabay will remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean the tooth, and fill it with a medicated material. We will then cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office. Root canal treatment has a reputation for being a painful treatment. In reality, root canal treatment can often be completed with minimal discomfort thanks to advanced techniques, tools and anesthesia. Our dentist, along with our entire dental team, works hard to provide you with a pleasant, comfortable experience each time you visit our office. To learn more about root canal treatment, we welcome you to contact us today. We are committed to restoring your smile’s health.

Sedation Dentistry.

 

Dr. Brent Huckabay and our team take your anxiety seriously. We offer sedation dentistry to help you relax and feel at ease during your treatments. For information about sedation dentistry in Midland, Texas, and to schedule an appointment with our dentist, we invite you to contact us today!

Sedation dentistry is a wonderful choice for patients who feel anxious or nervous about their dental treatment. Sedation dentistry involves using a sedative medication to help you feel more relaxed and calm during your dental visit. There are several types of sedation dentistry available based on your individual needs and preferences:

  • Nitrous oxide, (laughing gas), which is a sedative gas that is mixed with oxygen. You simply inhale the gas during your treatment to help you feel more relaxed. Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation that wears off within just a few minutes after we stop the flow of gas.

  • Oral sedation, which involves taking an oral medication before your treatment. By the time of your appointment, you will feel calm and at ease.

Sedation dentistry will help you feel more comfortable during your treatment. Our experienced dentist and dental team will ensure that your entire treatment is safe. Each member of our team is highly trained and we will carefully monitor you during your visit. If you have chosen oral sedation, please be sure to have a friend or family member available to drive you to and from your appointment.

If you suffer from dental anxiety or you have had negative experiences at the dentist in the past, or if you simply feel nervous about your treatment, sedation dentistry can help you feel more at ease. Sedation dentistry is also a good choice for patients who have difficulty getting numb or who have an extremely sensitive gag reflex.

Dental Bridges.

Our dentist offers dental bridges in Midland, Texas, to fill the space left by one or more missing teeth. Dr. Brent Huckabay can discuss this and other options to restore your smile when you come to visit our comfortable office. Call us today to schedule your consultation and to learn more about our options for repairing your smile.

If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete the dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile.

Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:

  • Restoring your ability to speak, eat, and chew as normal

  • Alleviating excess stress on the bite

  • Improving the shape and volume of your face

  • Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture

  • Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position

  • Enhancing the appearance of your smile

We will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss. For more information, please call or visit us today.

Dentures.

 

Dr. Brent Huckabay understands that full and partial tooth loss affect more than just a person’s self-image; tooth loss also increases the risk for other health disorders and nutritional problems. Fortunately, dentures are a reliable and time-tested treatment. Our dentist will help you determine whether dentures in Midland, Texas, are right for your smile. Contact us today for more information and to schedule an appointment.

Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing several teeth or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile.

There are two kinds of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.

  • A complete denture is used to replace all of the teeth in a full dental arch. We may suggest a complete denture to replace all of the teeth in both arches or just one, depending on your individual needs. Our dentist may suggest using a denture adhesive for improved stability.

  • A partial denture is used if you are missing multiple teeth but have remaining natural teeth. A partial denture often includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to the natural teeth for a secure fit.

Our dentist may recommend complete or partial dentures to restore your smile if you are missing multiple teeth; dentures can improve your ability to properly speak and eat, restore your natural facial volume and enhance the overall beauty of your smile. Your dentures will be custom made to fit your smile comfortably, aesthetically and securely. We invite you to call or visit us soon to learn more about how dentures can improve your smile!

Dental Implants.

 

We offer dental implants in Midland, Texas, as secure and stable replacement for missing teeth. Dr. Brent Huckabay will help you determine if this treatment is best for your circumstances and oral health. Our dentist and team are committed to helping you restore a beautiful, functional smile. Call us today to learn more about the benefits of implant dentistry.

Dental implants are permanent, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth or all of the teeth. The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. This replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable. A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible post. Following this healing period, our dentist will place the dental implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post. Depending on which teeth are missing and your personal dental needs, your implant restoration might be a dental crown, dental bridge, complete denture or partial denture. Each dental implant restoration is custom made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically.

Replacing a missing tooth can restore your smile to optimal health, function and appearance. A dental implant is a great option for restoring your smile because the implant is designed to look, function, and feel just like your natural teeth, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime. For more information about the benefits of implant dentistry, and to schedule your implant consultation, please call or visit us soon.

Tooth Extraction.

Dr. Brent Huckabay may find it necessary to extract a tooth in order to preserve your mouth’s health. If our dentist recommends this service, he may speak with you about various options for restoring your smile following your extraction. Please feel free to call us today with any questions you have about tooth extraction in Midland, Texas, and to schedule your next appointment.

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. While we strive to avoid the need to remove a tooth whenever possible, certain conditions may make tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function. Following the tooth extraction, Dr. Brent Huckabay will be happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty and function.

Several conditions may necessitate tooth extraction. Among these are:

  • Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure

  • Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair making a successful restoration impossible

  • Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth

Our dentist uses great care and skill when performing a tooth extraction to ensure that your dental experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. We will also provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions so you can properly take care of your smile as it heals.
