Cleanings and Exams
Regular dental cleanings and comprehensive exams help maintain oral health and prevent future issues. Our hygienists use advanced tools to remove plaque buildup while dentists assess overall dental condition. Patients receive personalized recommendations for home care and treatment planning during these visits.
Emergency Care
We address dental emergencies like severe pain, broken teeth, or infections with immediate attention. Our team employs pain management techniques and prioritizes same-day appointments to resolve urgent oral health concerns effectively while ensuring patient comfort.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp from inside damaged teeth to relieve pain and preserve natural dentition. Using modern techniques, we clean and seal tooth interiors while providing post-treatment care instructions to ensure successful recovery and long-term dental health.
Extractions
We perform surgical and non-surgical extractions for damaged, decayed, or impacted teeth. Local anesthesia ensures comfort during procedures, and we provide detailed aftercare guidance to promote proper healing and prevent complications like dry socket.
Fillings
Composite fillings restore teeth affected by decay or minor fractures using tooth-colored materials. This procedure preserves tooth structure while improving aesthetics and function. We ensure proper bonding and shaping for natural-looking, durable results that match patients' smiles.

I had my first appointment ever with Braidwood Dental today and I can honestly say it was the best experience Ive ever had at a dental office. Every staff member that I came in contact with from the moment I walked in the door was amazing.
