We Focus on Prevention to Protect Your Smile

Our focus is on preventive dental services so that we can help our patients avoid many dental concerns like cavities and gum disease. With consistent routine cleanings and checkups every six months, you may be able to avoid tooth decay and even some painful dental emergencies.

Children can begin their journey to a healthy and beautiful smile starting at age one. At Bagley Family Dental, we place a lot of emphasis on making sure that your children feel comfortable at the dentist. We also focus on educating parents about dental health so they can take care of their child’s smile at home.

General Dentistry Technology

Digital X-Rays

Patients often wonder if dental x-rays are necessary and safe for them. The answer to both of those questions is - yes!

At Bagley Family Dental, we determine how often each patient needs x-rays based on their individual needs and desires.  The purpose of taking regular x-rays is to allow Dr. Bagley to detect any concerns that might be happening internally that aren't visible during a clinical examination. Early detection of dental issues like tooth decay or gum disease allows you to be proactive about treating your condition as soon as possible. This may allow you to choose procedures that are less costly and not as invasive.

At our dental clinic, we use digital x-rays, which emit less radiation than standard films taken in the past. This means that you receive more radiation from spending a day in the Colorado sun than you do from your dental x-rays. They are also immediately available for Dr. Bagley to view and discuss with you so you can make timely decisions about your dental health.

Digital x-rays are also much less harmful to our environment since there are no harsh chemicals required for their development.

Restorative Dentistry in Greeley Repairs Broken Teeth

Do you have a chipped tooth or broken tooth? Maybe you’re struggling with tooth loss? Perhaps a tooth infection is causing you discomfort?

Whatever the case may be, your dentist in Greeley offers the services you need to restore your smile. Dr. Bagley also uses only the best local dental laboratories to create dental restorations you can rely on and be proud of. Some of the restorative dental services we offer are:

  • Dental implants
  • Tooth crowns and dental bridges
  • Root canal treatment
  • Tooth extractions
  • Tooth-colored fillings and metal fillings
  • Full dentures and partial dentures

Frequently Asked Questions

There is not a simple answer to this question. Dr. Bagley uses x-rays and state-of-the-art technology to diagnose dental concerns in their earliest stages. If you're proactive about completing your treatment, it will often save you time, money, and discomfort. In general, your dental treatment will never be less expensive or less painful than it is on the day Dr. Bagley discusses treatment options with you – it only becomes more expensive while the likelihood of dental pain increases.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide when to complete your recommended treatment. However, the longer you wait, the more complicated and expensive it can get.

For example, if your Greeley dentist detects tooth decay in its early stages, you can likely restore your tooth with a simple dental filling. If the decay goes untreated, it will progress and get worse, eventually moving into the root canal chamber inside your tooth, where it results in a tooth infection. At this stage, you would need root canal treatment to get rid of your infection and preserve your tooth. Additionally, you would need to restore your tooth with a dental crown to make it strong again — much more complicated treatment for a tooth that you could've initially treated with a dental filling. Allowing it to progress even further might require a tooth extraction, followed by a dental implant.

If time or cost is a concern for you, we're happy to work with you to help you economically and efficiently complete your treatment. We also work with companies like CareCredit to divide the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments.

It is important to change your toothbrush every three to four months or when you begin to notice wear or discoloration of your toothbrush's bristles. Using a worn toothbrush can prove ineffective when you are trying to remove plaque and bacteria from your mouth to protect against tooth decay.

Utilizing the proper brushing technique is also critical to protecting your dental health. Move your toothbrush in circles around the front and back of your teeth and close to the gum line, giving it a gentle massage. Spend 30 seconds brushing each quadrant of your mouth for a total of two minutes of brushing in both the morning and at night.

If you're not sure that you're using proper brushing techniques, your dental hygienist at your Greeley dentist is a good resource for tips and tricks. You might also consider switching to an electric toothbrush, which does the work of brushing for you. An electric toothbrush also times you to ensure that you're spending the full two minutes brushing your teeth.

Dr. Bagley is happy to answer questions about your dental health and recommend any additional routines or products that might improve your home care when you visit us for your six-month examination. You can also give our Greeley, CO dental office a call for more information. 


 

In most cases, you can expect to pay around $90 for nitrous oxide sedation in Greeley at Bagley Family Dental.

If fear or anxiety has kept you away from the dentist in the past, nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, could be an excellent solution so you can get the dentistry you need while helping you to feel at ease.

Nitrous oxide is administered when you wear a mask during your dental procedure. It acts right away to help "take the edge off" so you feel at ease. You're always conscious throughout the process, but you'll feel relaxed and comfortable. Once your treatment is completed and we remove the mask, the nitrous oxide will leave your system without any lingering side effects so you can get back to your normal activities.

Nitrous oxide is safe for both adults and children, and we can use it during almost any type of procedure.

Every six months, routine dental visits can help you avoid more significant dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. As opposed to avoiding the dentist until you're having problems or experiencing discomfort, using nitrous oxide during your dental appointments could save you money and time in the dental chair.

Contact your Greeley dentist at (970) 353-5664 for more information about nitrous oxide.

Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is a combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide, which is very safe for adults and children.

It is a mild form of sedation that allows you to feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures and can help eliminate the fear and anxiety that some patients experience in dentistry.

We use an inhalation mask to deliver the nitrous oxide during your procedure, and it works quickly to help you feel at ease. When you remove the cover after your procedure, the nitrous oxide quickly leaves your system, and then it's safe for you to drive home or back to work and continue your day.

Typically, there are also no side effects from nitrous oxide that linger once it leaves your body, making it an ideal sedation option for most types of dental procedures.

Avoiding the dentist until something hurts can result in creating a vicious cycle for yourself. Using nitrous oxide sedation in Greeley, CO to help "take the edge off" during a dental procedure could help you prevent more significant and expensive problems in the future.

Contact Bagley Family Dental today at (970) 353-5664 if you think you might benefit from using nitrous oxide during dental treatment.

An excellent and consistent home care routine will protect your teeth from problems like cavities and gum disease. We recommend that you brush twice each day and floss once.

Proper brushing technique consists of a total of two minutes or 30 seconds per quadrant. Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and gently brush the front, back, and chewing surfaces of your teeth, being careful not to be too vigorous around the gumline. Don't forget to brush your tongue.

If you're having difficulties with your brushing technique, you might consider investing in an electric toothbrush to do the hard work of brushing for you. An electric toothbrush times your brushing session to ensure you're completing the full two minutes and even alerts you if you're pushing too hard or being too vigorous.

Flossing requires about 18 inches of floss so that you will have clean floss for each tooth. Move the floss up and down the side of each tooth in a c-shaped motion.

Brushing and flossing remove the plaque and bacteria that cause tooth decay from the surfaces of your teeth and in-between your teeth. And yes, you can actually get cavities in between your teeth.

If you have questions about brushing and flossing, or if it's time to schedule your next teeth cleaning and checkup in Greeley, CO, contact Bagley Family Dental today.
