Core general dentistry services

The website describes the following general and restorative services:

• Cleanings and exams – Routine visits combining a comprehensive dental exam with professional cleaning to help prevent cavities and gum disease. Imaging and photos are used as needed to make recommendations clear.
• Resin fillings – Tooth-colored fillings used to repair cavities while blending with natural teeth. In select cases, laser dentistry may allow for a more comfortable or injection-free experience.

• Root canals – Treatment to relieve pain, remove infection, and preserve a tooth when possible.
• Emergency dentistry – Same-day emergency appointments may be available during regular office hours, as the schedule allows.
• Extractions – Removal of teeth that cannot be predictably restored, with discussion of replacement options.
• Bridges – Fixed restorations that replace missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth.
• Family dentistry – Care for patients of various ages, with a focus on comfort and habit guidance for children.
• Sealants – Protective coatings for grooves of back teeth to help prevent cavities.
• Inlays and onlays – Restorations used when more support is needed than a filling but a full crown is not necessary.
• Dentures – Options to replace missing teeth, including workflows that may use digital planning and selective 3D printing.
• Night guards – Custom night guards made from digital scans to help protect against clenching and grinding.
• Full mouth reconstruction – Comprehensive planning to restore comfort, function, and aesthetics across multiple teeth.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) cleanings

Strobel Dentistry is a Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Certified practice.

• A harmless disclosing dye is applied first to show where biofilm has accumulated.
• The AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master delivers a warm spray of air, water, and fine powder to remove biofilm and surface stains from teeth, gumlines, and dental work.
• Gentle ultrasonic scaling is used to remove any hardened tartar that remains.
• The hygienist then reviews findings and helps set an appropriate recall interval.

Benefits highlighted on the website include:

• Patients can visually see where cleaning is needed.
• Gentler on enamel and gums than traditional paste and aggressive hand scaling.
• Safe around implants, crowns, veneers, braces, and aligner attachments.
• Focused on thorough prevention rather than a quick polish.

Oral cancer screening with OralID®

• Every general dentistry exam at Strobel Dentistry includes an OralID® oral cancer screening.
• This is a quick, light-based scan designed to detect tissue changes that may be missed in a standard visual exam.
• There are no needles, no radiation, and no separate appointment; it is part of routine exams.

The practice explains results in clear language and recommends any follow-up or referrals if something needs closer evaluation.

• Strobel Dentistry is a fee-for-service practice.
• The practice does not participate in or join dental insurance networks.
• Patients with PPO dental insurance can typically use out-of-network benefits.
• As a courtesy, the office can submit insurance claims on the patient's behalf so that any out-of-network reimbursement is handled directly with the insurer.

Important: Exact coverage, reimbursement amounts, deductibles, and limitations depend on each patient's specific insurance plan. Patients should confirm details with their insurance carrier.

Payments and estimates

• The practice focuses on transparent recommendations and clear expectations.
• Patients are able to review options and understand fees before treatment begins, based on information available at the time of the visit.
• Any estimates are subject to change if the treatment plan or insurance response changes.

Botox™ for comfort and aesthetics

Botox™ is offered in a dental context for both comfort and cosmetic benefits:

• May help reduce clenching, grinding, and TMJ-related muscle tension in appropriate cases.
• Can provide subtle cosmetic refinement as part of a broader treatment plan.

Any use of Botox™ is evaluated case by case, based on symptoms, goals, and a full exam.

• Implants are planned using CBCT 3D imaging and digital workflows to improve accuracy and predictability.
• Treatment may include single implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch options (including All-on-4–style solutions) for qualified patients.
• Precision 3D-printed guides and, when appropriate, 3D-printed custom dentures are used to support placement and restoration.
• Complimentary implant consultations are available to discuss candidacy, options, and next steps.

Benefits highlighted include:

Periodontal care is provided in-house, including by a periodontist, to support the health of gums, bone, and implants.

Services described on the website include:

• Gum disease treatment – Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), periodontal maintenance, and osseous surgery when needed to control infection and protect supporting structures.
