It is suggested by the American Dental Association, that patients should be seen for a dental cleaning and routine exam every six months or as recommended by Dr. Lynn. During the cleaning, plaque and calculus will be removed from your teeth, leaving behind a bright and polished smile. Sometimes, x-rays need to be taken to help detect possible cavities in between teeth that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Steven E. Lynn, DDS is proud to offer an alternative to traditional tissue grafting, the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique! Dr. Lynn is 1 of only 1500 dentists Worldwide that have been certified to perform this procedure. This new procedure offers a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for treating gum recession. The procedure is usually completed in 1-2 hours and provides a quicker recovery compared to the traditional method.

During your appointment, Dr. Lynn uses a small needle to make a small hole in the gum tissue. The tissue is then loosened and moved over the receded part of the tooth. Patients experience minimal post-operative symptoms including pain, swelling, and bleeding. Typically they will recover in a few days. For more information on the procedure, please watch this quick video.

Veneers are thin slices of porcelain that cover teeth. These are used to cover stains, chips, imperfection, and gaps in your smile. Generally, depending on the number of veneers that need to be applied, it could take several visits to complete your new smile! These last between 10-20 years under the right care.

If you dislike the look that old silver restorations give your mouth, white fillings are the perfect solution! Your old silver restorations will be replaced with tooth-colored fillings, resulting in a smile you can be proud to show off. White fillings are also bonded to the natural tooth structure, increasing the overall strength of the tooth, unlike silver (amalgam) fillings that have no bonding properties.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder that causes snoring and breathing pauses during sleep. These breathing pauses may occur 30 times or more an hour. As a result, the quality of sleep suffers, making patients tired during the day. On top of that, significant others are often suffering too. Loud and persistent snoring can keep him or her awake and take a toll on his or her well-being.

The most obvious sign of obstructive sleep apnea is chronic, loud, and ongoing snoring. There is usually persistent sleepiness during the day, including while at work or driving. This may cause the sufferer to doze off during periods of inactivity. Other symptoms include morning headaches, waking frequently throughout the night, difficulty concentrating and remembering, psychological problems such as depression or mood changes, and sore throat or dry mouth upon waking.

My office is pleased to be certified and trained in this exciting and non-invasive treatment for OSA. We offer the latest in technology and want to provide you the opportunity for a restful nights sleep. Your medical insurance sometimes covers the treatment, but if not, it is relatively inexpensive as compared to a cumbersome and uncomfortable CPAP machine.
