General Dentistry
At Riverpointe Dental Care, we take a personalized and proactive approach to your smile and oral health. We’ll work and communicate closely with you to deliver the services you need to renew your smile, health, and confidence.
Preventative Dentistry
During a cleaning, our hygienists will remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and assist Dr. Struble in examining your oral hygiene. Utilizing intraoral cameras and digital X-ray technology, we can accurately detect and diagnose cavities, decay, disease, and abnormalities before they advance into bigger problems. We take the time to explain proper brushing and flossing techniques so you can take better care of your teeth at home. We also provide oral cancer screenings during routine dental cleanings.
Pediatric Dentistry
Riverpointe Dental Care provides pediatric dental cleanings and checkups for infants, toddlers, young children, and adolescents throughout the Ozarks. We strive to teach every child the proper techniques and practices to maintain healthy, lifelong oral hygiene habits.
Root Canals
Once our dentist numbs the area with local anesthetic, Dr. Struble will then remove the top part of the tooth to access the innermost layer, known as the pulp. After removing the infected and damaged tissue, Dr. Struble will clean and disinfect the surrounding area. Then, we’ll seal the area and place a restoration (typically a dental crown) to protect and restore function to the tooth.
Dentures
TMJ/TMD Therapy
Does your jaw click or pop? Do you grind your teeth at night? Do you frequently wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or toothaches?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). TMD affects the temporomandibular joint, which is responsible for controlling the movement of the jaw and surrounding facial muscles.
Bruxism (teeth grinding), arthritis, stress, and injuries are some of the causes of TMD. Treatments vary and may include any or a combination of the following:
- Dental splint/mouth guard
- Relaxation exercises
- Anti-inflammatory pain medication
Dr. Struble will work to identify the cause of your TMD and customize a treatment plan that minimizes your symptoms, improves your quality of sleep, and protects your teeth. If necessary, Dr. Struble may refer you to other physicians in the area who can provide advanced TMJ/TMD treatment.
Dr. Struble also performs occlusal (bite) adjustments at our office in Ozark, MO. If you have a misaligned jaw or bite or struggle with severe bruxism or TMD, we’ll provide a thorough examination and lay out a detailed treatment plan.
Bruxism/Teeth Grinding Treatment
In many cases, we customize oral splints/mouth guards for patients who struggle with moderate to severe teeth grinding ‒ but our goal is to target and minimize triggers for your teeth grinding. Our dentist can review stress reduction techniques to help you relax your jaw muscles and minimize teeth grinding. Dr. Struble may prescribe anti-inflammatory pain medication or prescription muscle relaxers to help. Diet and lifestyle changes can also help.
Tooth Extraction
Dental Implant Restoration
Gum Disease Treatment
Cosmetic Dentistry
You deserve to love your smile. But if your smile leaves you feeling self-conscious, Riverpointe Dental Care is ready to develop a personalized cosmetic treatment plan to help you radiate with confidence.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown is a porcelain cap covering an individual tooth and restores its size, shape, and durability. Dental bridges work similarly to dental crowns by restoring areas where there are multiple damaged or diseased teeth in a particular area of the mouth.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are customized to fit and match the natural shape and color of teeth. Our dentist will fit each shell to every individual tooth before bonding it. The end result? A brighter, even, and picture-perfect smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional teeth whitening services that produce faster and better results than over-the-counter whiteners. We customize our whitening trays to the natural color of your teeth. The bleach-based whitening agent is then enhanced with a special curating light. Within one appointment, you can have a visibly whiter smile!
