Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth. We ask that you please obtain and bring any x-rays with you to your appointment to avoid additional expense. Otherwise, we will take any necessary x-rays so that we may provide a comprehensive diagnosis.

Teeth Whitening
Our state-of-the-art, in-office Zoom 2 Whitening (as seen on Extreme Makeover) will make your teeth whiter in less than 2 hours. Another option is our home bleaching system you take with you for results in 2 weeks. You can also consider a combination program of both systems for optimal, long-term results.

Crowns and Veneers
You can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns (empressed material) on the anterior teeth. For the posterior, we use porcelain fused to metal.

Fillings: Resin
Tooth-colored fillings that are light-cured to match your teeth.

Root Canals
We perform root canals on anterior, bicuspids and molar teeth.

Periodontal Treatment
You should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year. A periodontal treatment includes an Adult Prophy (basic cleaning). If it has been over a year since your last cleaning, possible treatment will include either Periodontal Scaling (deeper) or Root Planning and Scaling (requires anesthetic).

Mouth Guards
Whether you are an athlete or casual sports participant, we strongly recommend wearing a mouth guard to protect your teeth. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a bite guard will help reduce symptoms of TMJ. We custom make mouth guards in both soft and hard materials.

Invisalign
Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's been proven effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide. So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing braces, you'll have a new reason to smile.

Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Sedation Dentistry
Gainesville Dental Associates has always been very sensitive to our patients20with high fear and apprehension of dentistry. We now offer them a safe and even more comfortable experience—Sedation Dentistry. We feel that many people avoid needed dental care due to fear. We are helping those patients to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile with this safe and wonderful technique. Drs. Batistas and Chehade are certified to provide Sedation Dentistry. Patients are thrilled to receive their dental treatment while totally relaxed and comfortable—often in just 1 or 2 visits. Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
