The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children make their first visit to the dentist when their first tooth erupts, or by their first birthday. After that initial visit, our doctor will recommend an exam schedule for your child based on their specific needs. Most children need to see our doctor for checkups twice a year to maintain optimal oral health. https://www.steelecroftdental.com/services/dental-crowns-bridges monthly 0.5 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920958544-P4I1WIPPLKJ6CXY1NXH8/dental-bridge.jpg Services - Dental Crowns & Bridges - What is a crown? A crown is a type of restoration that encases your whole tooth. Crowns lend strength and protect from damage. There are several options in crown materials, including: Gold crowns Porcelain crowns Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns Porcelain or porcelain-fused crowns are the most popular choices because they look like your natural teeth. Dental crowns work on two levels: They give you a more functional tooth and also improve its appearance. Usually, crowns take two visits to Steelecroft Dental. In the first appointment, our doctor will prepare your tooth by taking a small amount of enamel from the surface. She makes a mold of your tooth next and then places a temporary crown on your tooth. Our doctor installs the permanent crown in around two weeks, and you're done. https://www.steelecroftdental.com/services/root-canals monthly 0.5 2023-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1595005612762-818EGOX56RQH8E5XK2RM/dentist-showing-patient-x-ray.jpg Services - Root Canals - What is a root canal? A root canal is a procedure that removes damaged tissue — the pulp — within your tooth. When your pulp is damaged, diseased, or infected, it can cause serious pain. The damage can spread to the rest of your tooth and beyond if you don’t get help. A root canal can save the healthy part of your tooth. https://www.steelecroftdental.com/services/teeth-whitening monthly 0.5 2023-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1595006694859-DWFUV35UZPEEMHHTT00D/smiling-girl.jpg Services - Teeth Whitening - What are the causes of yellow teeth? Lots of different factors can cause teeth yellowing and discoloration. The foods you eat and drink, certain medications, and age might all be contributing factors. Beverages like red wine, coffee, and tea can leave surface stains on the enamel of your teeth and turn your teeth yellow. Smoking and tobacco are also big culprits. Eventually, the surface stains can get even more challenging to get rid of, because they soak deep into the enamel of your tooth to the dentin. https://www.steelecroftdental.com/services/tooth-extraction monthly 0.5 2023-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1595005473180-D9085CK1R22UY4XJDUZ2/missing-tooth-x-ray.jpg Services - Tooth Extraction - Why would I need an extraction? Even though permanent teeth are made to last your lifetime, it doesn't always happen. For instance, you could need a tooth extracted because it's too cracked or chipped to repair. Trauma, decay, and lifestyle may all contribute to needing a tooth pulled. Our doctor may recommend an extraction if you're dealing with one of the following situations: Risk of infection from a failed root canal Risk of infection during an organ transplant or chemotherapy Severe gum (periodontal) disease Crowded or extra teeth No room for third molars (wisdom teeth) https://www.steelecroftdental.com/services/veneers monthly 0.5 2023-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1595005428988-PAQGC909I914Q5O6ZMLF/smiling-woman.jpg Services - Veneers - Are veneers right for me? Veneers are thin porcelain shells designed to cover the front side of your teeth and enhance your natural smile. Our doctor custom-fits each veneer to the individual teeth in your mouth, then bonds the veneers to your existing teeth. Veneers fix flaws such as misshapen teeth, stains, cracks, or gaps. They can also restore weak teeth. Although veneers can be made out of resin composite materials, porcelain is the most stain-resistant material. Porcelain tends to do a better job replicating the look of your natural teeth enamel, too. Our doctor explains your options and recommends the best type of veneers for your specific needs. https://www.steelecroftdental.com/home daily 1.0 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935404-E9YBZIGNTJA8F4OTBVKU/aetna.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935432-UUZSZH9Z29IA28TULCY8/aig.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935415-54MMF0PV42GKOIFTT8J2/alwayscare.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935423-SGCKE0GO6V5GEUX9XJQL/ameritas.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935456-2S4QOUPKW2KEA32EZTHL/assurant.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935437-ZRCN3U9E107HQ29N2KXS/cigna.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935451-354KNXAJDMVWAMFPWAP6/coresource.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935442-PS8IG7NUOYHR795MK6TW/dd.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935409-4EHMUYWL3ATZV5W6QT2T/ddp.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935427-KYY91KW1TFEL4LSE0IDY/dentalselect.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935463-VI72K4Z9R5YYKK3YFBHE/dentemax.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935468-GZHV3YFSN4SVQ926RCAF/dnoa.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935447-UG6RYY5NOEOZ2HZ41C4J/geha.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935419-BYWT2CVLKKMRMEY5U5Y2/guardian.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1594920935473-TU3VJOES8T6W9MVZ0LGC/fullList.png Home View Full List of Accepted Insurance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/0135c66d-117d-4006-b6bd-5ac9c13080dc/Screenshot+2025-09-22+at+10.52.55%E2%80%AFAM.jpg Home https://www.steelecroftdental.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2023-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/c15dc33c-72d3-4be3-8ebb-ff101896eb6b/Steelecroft-Dental-map-location.jpg Contact Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.steelecroftdental.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-13 https://www.steelecroftdental.com/your-privacy daily 0.75 2022-02-15 https://www.steelecroftdental.com/our-terms daily 0.75 2022-02-15 https://www.steelecroftdental.com/write-a-review daily 0.75 2023-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1599148314200-NQZA8JY1ACDA7L50KYG9/yelp-icon.png Write a Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1599148293530-DYFWFBUEUE95PBUAS5FD/google-icon.png Write a Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/1599148355152-532UJ9MJYZLLJKNK8H1G/Facebook-icon.png Write a Review https://www.steelecroftdental.com/new-patients daily 0.75 2024-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f108fe69520b3288aa108cb/0f85ccb6-ec93-428a-a2a5-f9abe4d8444f/steelecroft-dental-room2.jpg New Patients - What to Expect Your first visit to Steelecroft Dental starts a foundation for our relationship with you.
