Prevention Maintains Healthy Smiles
A healthy smile is an invaluable gift. Unfortunately, we often don't appreciate how crucial our oral health is until a problem develops, our teeth become painful or don't function comfortably.
That's why, at Roots Dental, Dr. Amy Wenninghoff focuses on prevention. It all comes back to three things: dental exams, professional teeth cleanings, and excellent brushing and flossing at home.
We recommend seeing us for exams and cleanings every six months to stay a step ahead of dental problems. If you were proactive with these steps, you could maintain excellent oral health, dramatically lower your risk of cavities and gum disease, and save money on dental costs.
Restorative Dentistry if Something Goes Wrong
Of course, life doesn't always go as planned, and it's still possible to develop problems even with proper dental care. However, when you see us routinely, we can find problems in the early stages and provide treatment while the issue is small and easy to treat.
Prevention is preferable to waiting until you have a toothache because the longer the problem goes untreated, the more complex, invasive, and costly the solution becomes.
Solutions for Broken and Missing Teeth
Dr. Amy offers aesthetic tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants. She works with respected specialists in our area when needed and uses a top-quality custom dental lab that prepares beautiful, lifelike tooth restorations using the finest materials.
Comfortable Root Canals and Extractions
Nobody likes to think about root canals or extractions, but if you need either, trust us to provide compassionate treatment focusing on your comfort. Dr. Amy is very gentle and caring and uses strong local anesthetics to ensure you won't feel any discomfort during your procedure.
If you feel anxious and need something to help you relax, we offer nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, for a comfortable, stress-free appointment.

Dental emergencies range from mildly annoying to excruciatingly painful, as in the case of an infected or abscessed tooth. Regardless of your emergency, we will provide prompt pain relief and treatment so you can get on with your life.
Because we leave openings in our schedule for urgent dental emergencies, Dr. Amy can usually see you the same day.
