Gentle Dental Care

Dental Examination
Dentists and hygienists work together to make your visit as pleasant and comfortable as possible. For those feeling slightly apprehensive about dental checkups, modern dentistry is painless and quick – there is nothing at all to worry about.
X-rays
Our dentist will begin your appointment by undertaking a thorough assessment to determine the severity and extent of the damage to your tooth. For this, visual inspection, as well as dental x-rays, are used.
Oral Cancer Screening
With proper screening and early diagnosis, the severity of oral cancer drops significantly. But as with most forms of cancer, being able to detect the cancer in an early stage is crucial. We recommend an annual oral cancer screening for our patients, particularly if you...

Teeth Cleaning
Bi-annually, you should schedule a routine dental cleaning. During this visit, one of our dental hygienists will remove plaque from your teeth, especially from places where your brush can’t reach, such as underneath the gum line and in-between teeth. We will then clean and polish your teeth and apply fluoride, if eligible, to help protect your teeth once you leave the office.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is present in almost every commercial toothpaste. Through fluoride treatments, we can provide children’s teeth with high fluoride concentrations in a short period. The hardest part is calculating the necessary dose based on the child’s age and weight. It’s not a good idea to do this at home without supervision because using too much fluoride can damage teeth.
Dental Sealants
Even more at risk are children and teenagers who consume sugary foods and beverages and don’t brush regularly. To help prevent decay for this demographic, we at Gentle Dental Care offer high-quality dental sealants near you in Lansing, MI.
Space Maintainers
Since primary teeth guide the permanent teeth into place, infants with missing primary teeth or infants who prematurely lose primary teeth may require a space maintainer, a device used to hold the natural space open. Without a maintainer, the teeth can tilt toward the empty space and cause permanent teeth to come in crooked. Missing teeth should always be mentioned to your family dentist. The way your child cares for his/her primary teeth plays a critical role in how he/she treats the permanent teeth. Children and adults are equally susceptible to plaque and gum problems—hence, the need for regular care and dental check-ups.

Fillings
White fillings bond to the tooth; they strengthen the tooth by restoring most of its original shape. Silver amalgams, on the other hand, weaken the teeth and make them more susceptible to breaking. Broken teeth can be very expensive to replace; white fillings can actually save time and money in the long run.
Resin Composite
Modern dental fillings utilize a broad range of materials to help you get the right fit for your situation. Some of the most popular include a silver amalgam made of metals like tin, cast gold, composite resin, and porcelain. Each one has unique pros and cons, so it’s important to consider whether you prefer durability or a clean appearance.
Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of material, usually porcelain, that our dentists will order if you decide to get them to improve the appearance of your teeth. They fit over the fronts of teeth, and our dentists’ bond them to your teeth with dental cement.
Crowns
Our dentists at Gentle Dental Care have several ways to restore a smile after losing teeth. However, one of the most versatile ways is to replace or restore a tooth and its function by using dental crowns. Crowns can also improve the appearance of your teeth to give you a great-looking smile.
Bridges
Teeth restoration is something we’ve been doing for a long time at Gentle Dental Care. If you’re looking for dental bridges in Lansing, we have them and set up several patients with them each month. We also offer
Dental Bonding
At Gentle Dental Care, we prioritize patient participation. You need to be well informed to make the best decision. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of a procedure can help. Let’s start with the advantages of dental bonding.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, is an endodontic (inside the tooth) procedure that involves removing diseased pulp tissue from root canals and sealing the canals with dental material. Root canals in Lansing, MI are a restorative procedure for damaged and decayed teeth and allow individuals to forego extractions.
Apicoectomy
Also known as a root-end resection, an apicoectomy literally means the removal of the apex of the root of the tooth. This procedure, done following a root canal, treats the bony area surrounding the end of your tooth, which has become inflamed or infected. By folding back the gum near the tooth, the doctor can access the underlying bone and extract the inflamed tissue. At the same time, the very tip of the root is removed and usually replaced with a small plug or filling. At this time, the doctor may treat the area with antibiotics and will then close the area with a small suture. Eventually, the jaw surrounding the tooth will fill in with bone, supporting the tooth as before. This procedure helps ensure the lasting result of your root canal treatment.

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth that we create here at Gentle Dental Care. They’re one of the restorative procedures we offer, along with

Dental Implants

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery

For over three decades, the team of general and cosmetic dentists at Gentle Dental Care, and Implant and Cosmetic dentistry in Lansing, MI, have helped patients obtain and maintain healthier smiles and dental health by providing exceptional dental services. We also take care to educate our patients on tips for taking care of their oral hygiene and how their oral health affects their overall health. Our local dentist office offers many different services and comprehensive treatments, including dental sealants, dental crowns, tooth extractions, periodontal disease treatment, root canals, digital Xray, mouth guards, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, and much more. Our dental clinic is situated in a very convenient and central location in Lansing.
Gum Surgery
If you’re not happy with the appearance of your smile, Dr. Stumpos can suggest a number of options to correct the aesthetics of your teeth and gums. Cosmetic surgery has become more popular than ever before, and now cosmetic gum surgery has also jumped on this upward trend.
Osseous Surgery
Used to treat moderate to severe gum disease, osseous surgery is an effective procedure to reduce pockets and control infection. During osseous surgery, the gum tissue is folded back and the disease-causing bacteria is removed before the gum tissue is put back into place. In addition to bacteria removal, damaged bone may be smoothed to limit areas where bacteria can hide – allowing gum tissue to better reattach to healthy bone.
Tooth Extractions
Wisdom tooth extractions are done to preserve the integrity of your healthy smile. The teeth are prone to becoming infected and often do not have enough space to emerge. When this happens, they can become trapped and cause intense pain. They will also grow in at an angle and push your other teeth, causing overcrowding and misalignments.
Ridge Augmentation
Other popular cosmetic procedures include implants to restore missing teeth and ridge augmentation to repair indentations in the jawbone and gums.
Bone Grafting
Much in the same way that gum tissue can be restored with soft tissue grafts, the same can be said for patients who suffer from bone loss. Bone grafting is used to restore a large amount of bone tissue that has deteriorated whereas bone augmentation is used to replace a small amount of bone tissue.

Orthodontics
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.
Braces
As we mentioned earlier, you can get them voluntarily if you want protection while playing sports. It can also be a good idea if you want to wear them over your braces. These are purely optional, and you don’t need to get them. Unless of course, you’re a professional athlete, and there are rules for them.

Teeth Whitening
However, if you prepare for your big night with teeth whitening, then you will look great from head to toe.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our practice also provides the highest-quality services for restoring mouths that have been damaged by dental disease and injury and common problems that require cosmetic dentistry. Our primary goal for our patients is to achieve and maintain optimum oral health through advances in techniques, technologies and by maintaining their scheduled dental exams.
