Periodontics
At Shelbyville Smiles, we offer a full range of periodontal treatments aimed at preventing, diagnosing, and managing periodontal disease.
Effective periodontal care focuses on restoring the health of the gums and stabalizing bone and preventing further bone loss. Patients experiencing symptoms of gum disease, such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or mobile teeth may need periodontal treatment such as deep cleanings, gingival grafting, and localized antibiotic therapy.

Snoring and bruxism treatment
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, called apneas, can last for a few seconds to minutes and often occur multiple times throughout the night. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where the airway becomes blocked or collapses during sleep.
There are several appliances that can be used to treat this that are both comfortable and affordable.

TOOTH EXTRACTION
When a tooth is beyond repair or causing significant issues it should be extracted. Our office understands that this can seem like a scary procedure to have to go through. Our skilled team works very hard to make any tooth extraction a comfortable experience.
