Dental Exams and Cleanings

We follow the American Dental Association's recommendation that everyone schedule dental exams and teeth cleanings every six months. During these appointments, we'll check your teeth and gums for cavities and gum disease and plan prompt treatment if needed.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Our tooth-colored fillings are made of composite resin that offers several benefits. It's a durable material, and the process we use to place them allows us to preserve more healthy tooth structure than silver fillings. Composite fillings also closely resemble tooth enamel and can be color-matched to the unique shade of your teeth for a seamless appearance.

Gums that are red, swollen, or bleed when you brush are common signs of gum infection, which we call gingivitis or periodontal disease. Prompt treatment with a thorough teeth cleaning is often enough to reverse the disease, so contact us as soon as you notice these symptoms. If we don't address it promptly, it will progress and eventually affect the bones and ligaments that support your teeth. With prompt treatment, we can eliminate gingivitis and protect your smile.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns protect and restore broken teeth, and bridges replace missing teeth. Both return your mouth to a healthy state and restore comfortable chewing function. Our crowns and bridges are customized to match surrounding teeth and blend into your smile seamlessly.

Root Canals

An infected tooth can be quite painful, but root canal treatment provides fast relief. Since Dr. Rush uses potent local anesthetics and leading-edge rotary endodontic technology, we can ensure you won't experience any pain and have a comfortable, efficient procedure. 

Tooth Extraction

If you need tooth extraction due to severe decay, infection, or disease, we'll ensure you have a comfortable, stress-free experience. And as soon as you're ready, we'll help you choose the tooth replacement that's right for you.

Dental Implants

Tooth loss impacts your smile, dental health, and normal daily activities, such as chewing and eating the foods you love. At our Fort Collins dental office, Dr. Rush can guide you through the process of replacing one or multiple teeth with dental implants from start to finish. You can always feel at ease working with the team you know and trust!

TMJ Pain Relief

TMJ pain and teeth grinding can lead to painful symptoms like jaw, head, and neck pain, but Dr. Rush can customize a nightguard that you wear over your teeth during sleep. The guard gives your jaw joint a chance to rest as it acts as a barrier against the forces of teeth grinding that cause dental wear and fractured teeth. 

As a trusted Ft. Collins cosmetic dentist, Dr. Rush has helped hundreds of patients achieve their smile goals! With services like dental bonding, porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, and full mouth reconstruction, working closely with you, Dr. Rush will create a personalized treatment plan that will deliver the beautiful, functional smile you've always wanted.
