Kim S. Haskell, D.D.S., P.A. for all of your family's dental needs
Adult Dentistry
We offer complete dental care for all adults from basic preventive and
restorative care to complex prosthetic and cosmetic treatment.
Children’s Dentistry
We welcome and delight in treating little kids.
Dr. Haskell will refer a child to a competent pedodontist if she
feels it is in the patient’s best interest.
Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Haskell restores teeth with a variety of materials.
Typically small cavities are restored with composite resin (tooth
colored fillings). If the tooth
required more extensive treatment she will offer inlays or crowns.
Bridges are a common way to replace missing teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dentistry today can achieve natural looking results that are as beautiful as
they are functional. Tooth
whitening is a very conservative, safe way to make the teeth whiter. All
ceramic crowns (crowns without a metal substrate) produce natural looking
teeth. Veneers are bonded
porcelain used in the front of the mouth to make changes such as closing
spaces, making a rotated tooth appear straight or to cover up an unsightly
color. Bonding is generally a more conservative treatment to change the
appearance of a tooth.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy has changed dramatically in the last few years.
The procedure is faster (often completed in one appointment), more
comfortable, and more successful than ever before.
There is minimal postoperative discomfort. It is not unusual for the
patient to fall asleep during the procedure!
Removable Prosthetics
Full and partial dentures are made when that is the best treatment plan for
the patient.
TMJ Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Haskell has always been interested in this challenging field because so
many patients are affected. She
has taken numerous continuing education courses on the subject and enjoys
this part of her practice.
Implant Prosthetics
Implants is a very exciting field in dentistry today.
We are now able to replace a missing tooth without disturbing the
teeth adjacent to the lost tooth.
Dr. Haskell works with excellent surgeons who place the implants
surgically and then she completes the treatment by placing the crown on the
implant.
Emergency Care
All emergency patients are seen as soon as possible.
It is always best to call the office early in the morning to be
placed in the schedule. After
hours an emergency number is always available for our patients.
Preventive Care
Dr. Haskell believes that prevention is the most effective way to maintain
dental health. At your initial
visit and at all recare appointments home care will be discussed and we will
help you with any problems you may have.
Prevention also includes prophylaxis (cleanings), fluoride treatments
and sealants.
Periodontal (Gum) Treatment
Periodontal disease is very prevalent in the adult population.
One of the first signs of the disease is bleeding in the gums but
often there are no symptoms so patients may not be aware they have the
disease. Dr. Haskell believes in
examining patients thoroughly for the disease.
This exam includes a complete periodontal probing at the initial and
all recare appointments and x-rays to determine the health of the bone.
With early treatment and maintenance the disease can be controlled.
Dr. Haskell will refer patients to competent specialists when it is
in the patient’s best interest, however, she will coordinate all specialty
services and provide follow-up care.
