An absolutely fantastic dental office. Every single person with whom I interacted was an absolute delight: warm, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. The hygienist and dentist asked me tons of questions and listened patiently as I explained my needs and asked my own questions. We came up with a workable treatment plan, and the front office manager even discussed various payment options. I was overwhelming satisfied with my experience!
I had an amazing experience at Kirchner Dental. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I had been taking care of everyone else’s teeth and not my own. My mouth had gotten to the point where I had to do something about it. I could no longer hide my dental issues. I did not feel judged by the staff. They all assured me they would take care of me and they are doing just that. I appreciate them so much. I have recommended them to my friends and family. Thank you so much, Kirchner Dental, for the care you have provided to me this far in my reconstruction journey.
Great and friendly staff. Made me feel very welcomed and encouraged about coming to the dentist after years of not being seen. Extremely knowledgeable and broke the treatment down so that is more cost efficient for me. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!
I am a new patient here as my insurance has changed with my new job. They were very thorough and communicative with each other and myself. Being young and new to my own insurance, I am not completely confident in making appointments and using my insurance. However, at Kirchner Dental, they made sure I was comfortable and understood everything from procedures to payment. Really great staff!
As a new patient I was able to get an appointment easily and quickly. Everyone is really helpful and informative. Due to a long stretch of avoiding the dentist, I’ve had to get a lot of work done over the past few months and they have walked me through all the details every step of the way. Great office, staff and service! Highly recommend.
My first visit after some unhelpful dentistry, and I was impressed all around! The made me feel welcome, we laughed alot and a plan was made to put my teeth back in shape. I am relaxed and relieved. Thank all you ladies!!
I loved how thorough they were in my appointment compared to other dentists I’ve been to. I also felt comfortable the moment I walked in. Thank you!
The staff is Super friendly and non judgmental. I have a lot of badly broken teeth and they have been nothing but nice and professional. They explained my dental plan to me completely and answered all my questions. They work hard to help their patients and this is definitely going to be my forever dentist.
This was an amazing first experience at the dentist office. Everyone was so insightful, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I would say this is one of the best doctors office experiences I’ve had.
This is by far the best dentist experience I’ve had! They do not make you feel rushed at all. They thoroughly explain all of the treatment plan and offer the nitrous club which is a lifesaver if you have dental anxiety! Can’t recommend them enough!
Gum disease can manifest itself in a variety of ways, and you may only have a few symptoms. Red, swollen gums and bleeding gums are common signs of a gum infection. Lingering bad breath, pimple-like bumps on your gums, and loose teeth are symptoms of advanced problems. Sometimes gums can become painful, but many people never have pain as a result of a gum infection.
Gum disease treatment addresses gum infections, which start with harmful bacteria that live inside our mouths. This bacteria can stick to teeth and form plaque, which hardens into tartar. This can lead to irritation of gum tissue and infections. Other factors such as tobacco use, hormonal changes, and dry mouth can increase your risk of developing periodontal problems.
This will depend on the severity of your infection as well as what may be covered by your dental insurance. You should know that we offer a variety of payment options to help you manage the cost. However, keep in mind that gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the U.S. And treating gum disease is better than replacing your teeth.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that build ups around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating “pockets” where more bacteria accumulates. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.
No, you can’t cure gum disease at home – not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can’t be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all of the bacteria from this area and then smoothes your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.
