Our Comprehensive Dental Services Include:

Even if your mouth feels healthy, periodontal disease can progress without noticeable symptoms. When left untreated, it can damage the bone that supports your teeth. That’s why early detection and prevention are essential.

Crowns are recommended when a tooth is badly damaged or has advanced decay that can’t be repaired with a bonded filling. A crown covers the remaining tooth structure and restores its function, strength, and appearance.

During a clinical exam or routine checkup, your dentist will assess your oral health and look for any problem areas. Contact us today to schedule an appointment!

A root canal is needed when decay or trauma reaches the pulp of a tooth and causes an infection. Routine dental visits help prevent this, but once the nerve is infected, treatment is necessary because the pulp cannot heal by itself.

At Dr. Thomas A. Bowles & Associates, we welcome children of every age. A great time for a first dental visit is when the very first tooth appears. Early appointments build confidence, create positive experiences, and provide parents with valuable tips for caring for their child’s teeth.

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the tissue around them. We offer both complete dentures, for when all teeth are missing, and partial dentures, for when some natural teeth are still in place. Partial dentures also help protect your smile by preventing remaining teeth from shifting.

Dental X-rays help us see issues that aren’t visible during a standard exam. With this added insight, our team can detect abnormalities early and develop an accurate treatment plan.

Porcelain inlays and onlays restore teeth that have moderate damage from decay, broken fillings, or fractures. They’re a great option when a tooth needs more than a filling but not the full protection of a crown.

No more messy putty impressions. Our iTero Digital Impressions system delivers precise digital scans in just minutes. Think of it as upgrading your smile from standard definition to HDTV. It’s also an excellent, comfortable option for Invisalign patients. Discover a faster, more accurate way to plan your dental treatment with iTero technology.

We know dental anxiety is common, and we want your visit to feel as comfortable as possible. IV sedation provides a safe, effective way to help you relax during your procedure. The medication is delivered through a vein, creating a deeply relaxed state while still allowing you to stay awake and responsive. Our team closely monitors you the entire time to ensure you feel safe and supported.

We recommend fluoride treatments to help protect your teeth. This quick, easy step can be added to your routine exam. Fluoride strengthens your enamel and helps prevent decay, keeping your smile strong.

A porcelain veneer is a thin, custom-fabricated shell that is bonded to the front of your natural tooth. Veneers can improve aesthetics or protect a damaged tooth surface.

Sealants help prevent tooth decay on the chewing surfaces and are typically placed on permanent molars as they come in. They’re maintained through childhood and can last well into adulthood.

Get the whiter smile you’ve been dreaming of with our fast, safe, in-office teeth whitening. We offer two whitening options, and both deliver great results.

If a tooth has decay, a fracture, or a crack, a filling is needed to restore it. During a single visit, the damaged area is removed, the tooth is cleaned, and a filling is placed.

We use laser technology that produces concentrated beams of light to assist with many dental treatments. This gentle heat energy helps minimize bleeding, pain, and swelling.

A tooth extraction is performed when a tooth needs to be removed due to decay, impaction, or other issues. We use local anesthetic to numb the area during a single-tooth extraction. For multiple extractions, general anesthesia may be used so you remain comfortably sedated.

For implant placement and restoration, you can trust our team to deliver excellent results and keep your smile looking its best. Dr. Thomas Bowles and Dr. Garrett Karow specialize in implant restoration to replace missing teeth or dentures. Implants are a long-lasting solution that look and function like natural teeth.

Wisdom teeth can lead to discomfort and other oral health issues. Our team offers complete evaluation, management, and extraction of third molars. Through detailed exams and diagnostic imaging, we assess their position and development. If removal is needed, our dentists perform safe and effective extraction procedures.
