Personalized Oral care

We offer a full range of dental cleanings customized to your specific needs. From routine preventative cleanings to help maintain healthy teeth and gums, to periodontal maintenance for ongoing periodontal care, and deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to treat active disease—our team provides the right level of care at the right time. Every visit includes a thorough assessment to ensure your oral health is on track and your treatment plan is adjusted as needed.

Root Canals

Root canals are an effective way to save a tooth that has been damaged by deep decay, infection, or trauma. The procedure involves carefully removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the space to prevent further infection. After the root canal is complete, a crown is often recommended to restore the tooth’s strength and function. With modern techniques, root canals are comfortable and highly successful in preserving natural teeth. Dr. Bauer is happy to provide root canal treatment to help maintain your healthy smile.

Implants

Dental implants are a wonderful way to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. The procedure begins by having a titanium implant placed into your mouth where your tooth root once was. Over the next three to six month period, your jaw bone will integrate to your implant, attaching it firmly to the bone. Once this healing phase is complete, the implant is ready for the restoration with a very natural looking tooth. Dr. Bauer is happy to provide the full range of implant services ranging from tooth removal to implant placement and eventual restoration.

Extractions

Tooth extractions are a common procedure to remove teeth that are damaged, infected, or no longer viable. The process begins with carefully numbing the area to ensure comfort, followed by the gentle removal of the tooth. In some cases, bone grafting may be recommended to preserve the site for future treatment. Healing typically takes a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Once healing is complete, options such as dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures can be considered for tooth replacement. Dr. Bauer is happy to provide comprehensive care, from extractions to long-term tooth replacement solutions.

Crown & Bridge

At Family Dental Care of Bellevue, we use advanced CEREC technology to create strong, natural-looking porcelain crowns and bridges right here in our office—often in just one visit. With this state-of-the-art approach, Dr. Bauer can restore your tooth by preserving as much healthy structure as possible, resulting in a restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile. CEREC crowns can restore up to 98% of a tooth’s original strength, compared to about 80% with traditional methods. The result is a durable, beautiful restoration designed to last and keep your bite strong and healthy.

Orthodontic Checkup

Children's Dentistry

At Family Dental Care of Bellevue, we’re committed to starting your child’s dental journey with comfort and confidence. Dr. Bauer evaluates your child’s dental development at every visit, including monitoring for early orthodontic needs. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age 7 to identify the ideal time for treatment, if needed. Interceptive orthodontics can help guide jaw growth, create space for erupting teeth, preserve room for permanent teeth, and reduce the risk of trauma or future extractions.

 

To help children feel at ease, we offer “happy visits” designed to introduce dental care in a fun, relaxed way. These early visits might include a ride in the dental chair, playing with the water sprayer, and enjoying a pressure-free experience. Our goal is to build trust and teach lifelong dental habits in a positive, welcoming environment.

TMJ distress

TMJD

If you experience jaw pain, clicking or popping when opening, tooth sensitivity, or worn teeth, you may be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD). Dr. Bauer has helped many patients find lasting relief from chronic jaw pain through personalized, comprehensive care. Each treatment plan begins with a detailed evaluation, including a review of your health history, assessment of jaw movement, bite analysis, and imaging if needed. Treatment options may include custom night guards, bite adjustments, and therapeutic Botox to relax overactive muscles and reduce pain. Our goal is to identify the root cause of your symptoms and provide effective, long-term solutions for improved comfort and function.

Commitment to Care

At Family Dental Care of Bellevue, we are deeply committed to our patients’ health, comfort, and overall well-being. We take the time to listen, educate, and provide personalized care using the latest technology and techniques. Our goal is to build lasting relationships based on trust and to help every patient achieve a healthy, confident smile for life.
