  Dental Bridges

  You already know that the jawbone begins to weaken after you lose a tooth, but did you know that dental implants are the only treatment option that can prevent bone deterioration? This is because implants and dental restorations are the only method for replacing teeth from root to crown. While a traditional dental bridge can have incredible benefits for your dental function, an implant bridge is the superior option for your long-term oral health and appearance. However, we understand that each patient comes to us with different priorities. Whatever your needs, we're ready to work with you to create a tooth replacement plan that meets your goals and budget. Our experienced dentists can customize your care so you can enjoy the precise results you're looking for.

  Sleep Apnea Treatment

  Dentists are often the first ones to detect sleep apnea, either during an exam or while discussing the patient's health history. As a qualified dentist recognized and approved by the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), Dr. Wilkins has undergone more extensive training in this area than most practitioners. If our team suspects that you could have sleep apnea, we may refer you for a sleep study. During a sleep study, the exact cause of the condition can be more clearly determined by monitoring your oxygen levels, your breathing patterns, and the number of events you experience during sleep.

  Orthodontics

  While it's true that orthodontists receive special training in straightening smiles, experienced dentists like those at the Center for Dentistry are also well-qualified to help patients bring their teeth into proper alignment. Our team of highly trained dental professionals can help you determine the best orthodontic option for your particular needs during a consultation at our Aiken office. Unlike most orthodontists, we can combine treatments such as teeth whitening and orthodontics so that you can achieve a perfectly balanced bite and a beautiful smile from the convenience of our friendly dental practice.

  All-on-4 Dental Implants

  All-on-4 is meant for patients who are missing a full arch of teeth. If you still have a few remaining teeth along an arch, our dentists can perform gentle tooth extractions to create space for your implant denture. If you have more localized tooth loss, we can address your needs with implant-supported dental crowns or an implant-supported bridge instead.

  Fillings

  There's a good chance you've seen a glimpse of metal in a friend's or loved one's mouth when they're smiling or laughing. It's likely that they received an amalgam filling at some point. Dental amalgam is made from a combination of metals, which commonly includes silver, zinc, or mercury. Like gold fillings, amalgam fillings are increasingly falling out of use in favor of composite fillings. At the Center for Dentistry in Aiken, SC, our dentists prefer composite fillings for their: Subtle look, temperature resistance, and biocompatibility.
