Fillings

Fillings

Fillings

Cavities are a common dental issue, and catching and filling them early will help prevent further damage to your teeth. The damage will be removed, the area will be sterilized to remove bacteria and the filling will help stabilize the tooth.
Extractions

Extractions

Extractions

Removing a tooth is sometimes necessary to protect other teeth or your overall dental health. There could be a number of reasons an extraction is necessary, from severe damage or decay to overcrowding or preparing for dentures.
Root canal

Root canal therapy

Root canal therapy

Relieve pain, save your tooth and restore dental health; possibly avoiding the need for an extraction. This treatment is necessary when there is an infection within the root canal of the tooth where the nerve is located. Dr. Aldrich will access the interior of the tooth, clean out the infected material and debris, remove the damaged nerve and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection.

Complete and Partial Dentures

Complete and partial dentures

Complete and partial dentures

Restore your smile by replacing missing teeth with complete or partial dentures. These are an affordable option that are often covered by dental insurance. Feel confident again with dentures created using updated materials and techniques — these aren’t your grandparents’ dentures!
Whitening

Tooth Whitening

Whitening

Give your smile a more youthful, vital, warm and happy appearance with professional whitening from Waterloo Dental Associates. We will help you with professional-strength whitening strips, or create custom bleaching trays for you with prescription strength whitening gel.
Full Mouth Restoration

Full mouth restoration

Full mouth restoration

Sometimes, dental concerns require fully rebuilding or replacing all of the teeth. Not only will a full mouth restoration create a beautiful smile, but will also improve oral health and function. This can help solve chronic dental issues or restore dental health after disease, severe trauma or infection.

Same-day restoration procedures

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges

Crowns and bridges

Repair a damaged tooth or replace any that are missing easily and effectively. Dental crowns, or “caps,” fit securely over the top of your own tooth and are cemented into place, concealing it and protecting it from further damage. A bridge uses the crowns placed on adjacent teeth or other implants to suspend artificial teeth within the space of those that are missing to complete your smile. Both options are done in a way that appears natural to help restore your confidence.
Implant placement and restoration

Implant placement and restoration

Implant placement and restoration

Dental implants are an option for tooth replacement that are quickly gaining in popularity. Dental implants are as close to a natural tooth as science can get in appearance and function. A titanium post is placed surgically into the jawbone to help restore the relationship between the bone and the root. After healing, the post will be topped with a restoration that will blend with your other teeth, either as a crown, bridge, or even to secure dentures. Dr. Aldrich can often perform the entire process in-house, which keeps costs down and allows for continuity of care.

Cosmetic dentistry: Combining science and artistry

Cosmetic dentistry allows us to improve the aesthetics of your smile with customized treatments designed to make your smile attractive, restore your confidence and enhance your self-esteem. If you’d like to improve the appearance of your smile using veneers or another cosmetic dentistry treatment, please call to schedule a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Aldrich.

Veneers

Veneers

Crowns and bridges

Crafted from dental porcelain, veneers are incredibly natural in appearance, creating an even more beautiful smile. They can help solve a number of cosmetic dental issues, such as discoloration, chips and cracks, reshaping small or worn teeth or widen teeth to fill in gaps. Veneers can be used on one tooth or as part of a complete smile makeover.
Clear aligner therapy

Clear aligner therapy

Implant placement and restoration

Straighten your teeth for better functionality or simply to improve your smile without the use of wire braces. Clear aligner therapy provides the same treatment as traditional braces, but in a less noticeable way so you can love your smile again.

Affordable payment options for dental care

To help our patients get the dental care they need, we provide a number of payment solutions. Dr. Aldrich is a preferred provider for Delta Dental and accepts most dental insurance plans. If we cannot accept your insurance or if your recommended treatment is not fully covered, we would be happy to discuss payment plans with you to help make the dental care you need more affordable.
