Do you have a dental issue but are unsure if you should visit a dentist?
Dental problems can range from a typical toothache to a serious gum infection. Many chronic or painful symptoms, such as headache, snoring, or neck pain, may be linked to a treatable dental condition. Chester Springs dentist Jason Petkevis, DMD, works with patients to treat complex dental problems.
He aims to restore your teeth and mouth to a healthy status and work in harmony with your overall health. We provide ongoing preventive services to maintain that standard. Before consulting with Dr. Petkevis and the dental care team at Dental Distinction, never assume what dental services you need.
Common Dental Concerns We Can Fix
Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums are a symptom of gingivitis, an early form of gum disease. Nearly 80% of American adults have some form of gum disease. Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Petkevis treats bleeding gums through various treatments.
Frequent Headaches
Did you know that frequent headaches, especially those that occur when you wake up in the morning, could be linked to a TMJ disorder? Dr. Petkevis offers treatment options for TMJ headaches, including dental splints, mouthguards, and bite correction procedures.
Teeth Grinding
Chronic teeth grinding causes teeth to break down and wear away. It can also contribute to tooth decay, periodontal disease, and TMJ disorders. Dr. Petkevis helps you stop teeth grinding through several treatments, such as mouthguards and bite correction procedures.
Cavities
Dr. Jason Petkevis treats tooth cavities in children and adults. Depending on your condition, he may use dental fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy to restore your teeth to proper health. He may also recommend replacing the tooth with a dental implant, depending on the severity of the issue.
Crooked Teeth
Sure, crooked teeth are a cosmetic concern, but did you know they can contribute to serious health conditions like tooth decay? Dr. Petkevis treats crooked teeth to improve the beauty, health, and function of teeth. Dr. Petkevis is a ClearCorrect provider in Chester Springs, PA.
Poor Fitting Dentures
No one likes wearing dentures that fit loosely. Using advanced techniques for creating aesthetic dentures, Dr. Petkevis can restore your poor-fitting dentures to a stable and comfortable fit. We also offer permanent denture replacement options known as dental implant-supported dentures. Through the use of dental implants, we can replace your dentures with modern, exact-fit dentures that do not irritate your gums.
Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Learn more about dental treatments to help stop snoring and alleviate sleep apnea symptoms. You may have sleep apnea if you experience loud snoring, difficulty breathing, gasping for air during sleep, and dry mouth in the morning. Experienced dentists like Dr. Petkevis can easily treat your symptoms.
Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect the appearance of your smile and lead to shifting teeth and a weakened jawbone. Replacing them with tooth implants, bridges, or dentures restores functionality and helps maintain oral structure and health.
Uncomfortable Bite
An uncomfortable bite can result from misaligned teeth, jaw issues, or improperly fitted previous dental work. It can lead to difficulties chewing, jaw pain, and even headaches. Correcting the bite through orthodontics, restorative procedures, or a mouthguard or dental splint can alleviate discomfort and improve oral function.
Worn Teeth
Teeth naturally wear down over time, but excessive wear can be accelerated by bruxism or poor dental alignment. Worn teeth can lead to sensitivity, reduced tooth height, and an aged appearance. Treatments such as dental crowns, veneers, or bonding help protect and rebuild the tooth structure, restoring a healthy, youthful smile.
