We know that for some patients, dental anxiety is real! This then has knock-on effects as small issues can get worse the longer you wait to see a dentist. Put your mind at ease with a visit to Discovery Dental Group. There’s no judgment here if you’ve fallen behind with regular dental check-ups and once you’ve visited our friendly and professional office in Missoula, you’ll be back on track in no time.

First of all, congratulations! For our youngest patients, we recommend coming in for a visit when that first tooth pops up, or by their first birthday. It may seem early but it’s important for parents to learn how to clean young childrens’ teeth and also to catch any potential future issues before they become problems.

Discovery Dental Group offers Missoula patients many choices when it comes to replacing a tooth. For long-lasting, realistic looking functional replacement, dental implants may be your best option. For multiple missing teeth, a dental bridge could be used to restore your smile. If you need an arch replaced or an entire mouth restoration, dentures might be the solution for you. Whatever your circumstances, when it comes to dental issues, Discovery Dental Group has the answer.

CEREC stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics” and is available at the Missoula office of Discovery Dental Group. Using a computer to digitally create a 3D model of your tooth, a ceramic crown is then milled right here in our office. This means that we can offer same-day crown services to our patients, unlike the traditional method of multiple visits and a crown being created in a lab somewhere else.

Yes, we can. Discovery Dental Group is known for our approach to Smile Design and our aim is to help every patient achieve their smile goals. We understand that not everyone needs a mouthful of veneers or implants to help them feel better about their smile which is why we offer options to suit everyone. If your teeth are slightly misaligned, minorly damaged or misshapen, we can use dental bonding to create a more uniform look. If you are after a brighter smile, we can perform effective teeth bleaching or whitening in our Missoula office.

Jaw clenching and teeth grinding, especially when you’re asleep, can lead to further problems with your teeth, mouth and jaws, often known as TMJ Disorders (temporomandibular joint disorders). Your dentist at Discovery Dental Group can assess and treat issues relating to TMJD, including fitting a night guard or splint, providing general tips on how to reduce symptoms at home and advising if surgery or other dental interventions might be necessary.
