Total Oral Care & Dental Hygiene Services

Merrillville, IN Dentist

Total Oral Health Care is a priority at Excel Dental Studios. We focus on the following to ensure your care is stellar while in our hands.

Preventive Care

Preventive oral health care is more comfortable and affordable than waiting until there’s a problem. Regular professional dental cleanings and at home care is vital in maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss and may affect up to 50% of our adult population. Regular professional oral health care and cleanings can help to prevent gum disease. Once gum disease is past its initial stage of gingivitis, it is irreversible. Fortunately, with gum disease treatment we can help you to prevent the disease from progressing.

Oral Hygiene Services

Regular professional and at-home oral hygiene is crucial for optimal oral and overall health. Our hygienists will provide you with complete dental exam and cleaning. Over the counter dental products may promise “from the dentist” results, but they do not compare to professional cleaning and polishing. Halitosis (bad breath) and decay can occur when regular hygiene appointments are missed or skipped.

Bruxism/Grinding Therapy

Bruxism (clenching) and grinding can cause headaches, earaches and tooth sensitivity and may wear away at your teeth. Bruxism may be caused by misaligned teeth, by stress or a variety of other reasons. Bruxism may be caused by misaligned teeth, by stress or a variety of other reasons. By fixing you bite (occlusion) or by providing a custom-fitted mouth guard, we can treat your bruxism.

TMJ Treatment

TMJ or temporomandibular joint disorder, is a disorder which may cause pain or dysfunction in the jaw due to inflammation. TMJ can cause pain, migraines, headaches, earaches and more. TMJ is caused by bruxism (clinching), dental trauma, missing teeth, misaligned teeth or degenerative joint diseases. We can help to determine the cause of the problem and provide treatment. Treatment includes occlusion (bite) adjustment, tooth replacement, teeth alignment, mouth guards, and pain relief.

Migraine Therapy

Migraines can be caused by a variety of dental problems. Misaligned teeth, TMJ and bruxism are common causes. In a complete examination, our doctor can help to suggest dental solutions for migraines.

Smoking Cessation

Smoking can have serious effects on dental health. Doctor Bahl will provide helpful tools and suggestions for patients interested in quitting smoking.
