General Dentistry
Beach Village Dentistry offers all aspects of preventative dental and periodontal (gum) care. The practice prides itself on offering a comfortable environment for patients and Dr. Anne Marie Frackowiak and her team go out of their way to get to know patients beyond their teeth. Making sure they are aware of health or anxiety issues allows the team to work with patients at their own speed and comfort level and create calm in and out of the chair.
Esthetic Dentistsry
Beautiful teeth raise self esteem and make us want to smile! Beach Village Dentistry is committed to helping you achieve your best possible smile. In addition to a consistent general dentistry care program, we use the following approaches in our esthetic treatments.
Holistic Approach
Beach Village Dentistry takes a holistic approach to patients, looking not only at teeth but at the patient as a whole. We think in terms of total body wellness – beyond brushing and flossing – to how the mouth and body affect each other. Preventative care and good dental hygiene are major components of good oral health but proper nutrition, lifestyle haits and general health conditions play an important role as well. Patients who grind or clench their teeth, who smoke, even those who bite their nails, can have a major impact on their dentition. We get to know our patients well so we are aware of their overall health and can therefore treat their teeth in an informed manner.
Pain-related Issues
For all patients, minimizing pain is our top priority. However, we also take this a step further and specialize in understanding and treating patients who suffer from craniofacial pain (headaches, face and neck pain) and TMD (Temporo mandibular disorder). These are evolving disciplines but ones Beach Village Dentistry is committed to studying to ensure our patients receive cutting-edge care. There is a strong correlation between patients with TMD pain or dysfunction and patients who have SDB (Sleep Disordered Breathing) problems such as snoring, teeth grinding (bruxism) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Children
Beach Village Dentistry’s holistic and non-invasive approach is particularly beneficial for children. Our awareness of the latest treatments minimizes pain and maximizes mouth health for young people. Not only do we try to ensure each child has the best chance at a healthy mouth, we have fun with them in the process to ensure that their trip to the dentist is something to be enjoyed.
Orthodontics
Beach Village Dentistry’s Orthodontic practice is lead by Dr. Barbara Frackowiak who has been practicing Orthodontics for over 15 years. Dr. Frackowiak makes a point of taking a modern approach to orthodontics, using cutting edge techniques, which are less invasive than traditional braces, such as Invisalign, where possible. With children, early intervention for those four and over, can include the use of Myobrace and myofuntional therapy which can optimally guide growth and development of the teeth.
