Staley Dental, Your Dental Home in Boise, Idaho

OUR APPROACH TO GENERAL DENTISTRY

At Staley Dental, we understand the importance of choosing a dental home for your family. Entrusting a dental practice with your family’s oral health needs is a decision not to be taken lightly. You can trust that our honest, approachable team is dedicated to helping you keep your oral health in check. We’ll treat you and your family just like our own, and you can be 100% confident that you’ll be in good hands.

Our modern dental practice is equipped with the latest technology to ensure our patients enjoy the best possible experiences and exceptional results. We also have a nurse anesthetist available on-site who can provide chairside sedation as necessary. This is great news for anxious or nervous patients. We aim to provide a comfortable, relaxed environment and stress-free experience at every appointment. Maintaining a healthy smile has never been easier than with the Staley Dental team!

Preventive Dentistry

PROFESSIONAL CLEANINGS & ORAL HEALTH SCREENINGS

To keep your teeth and gums healthy, it’s important to regularly receive preventive care. This includes professional dental cleanings, which remove tartar deposits that are impossible to dislodge at home, even with a good brushing routine. At Staley Dental, we use ultrasonic scalers as part of the cleaning process. This reduces the need for handheld instruments and results in a much more comfortable cleaning experience.

During your dental checkups, our team will also do an oral cancer screening by both feeling and visually inspecting the oral tissues for signs of disease. When it comes to oral cancer, early detection and prompt treatment are key.

Fluoride Varnish Treatment

AN EXTRA LAYER OF PROTECTION

At Staley Dental, we offer fluoride varnish treatments as an added layer of protection after your professional dental cleaning. Fluoride treatment is quick and painless. It strengthens the tooth enamel, minimizing the risk of future cavities. Applying just a thin layer of fluoride varnish is all that it takes to protect your teeth from decay. Patients who are more susceptible to tooth decay can particularly benefit from this tried-and-tested preventive measure.

Dental Sealants

SAFEGUARD AGAINST HARMFUL BACTERIA AND DECAY

Dental sealants are small, transparent plastic coatings your dentist or hygienist applies to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (the molars). They act as a barrier to prevent food particles and harmful bacteria from getting into the grooves of your teeth and causing cavities. Placing sealants is a straightforward and painless process. Their effectiveness makes them especially helpful in children’s dentistry, keeping young teeth healthy and cavity-free while kids learn to improve their brushing techniques.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

FOR A NATURAL-LOOKING SMILE

If you need a filling but want a more natural look, tooth-colored fillings are an ideal choice. These restorations are designed to seamlessly blend in with your natural smile. They are made of a quality composite material that we color-match to your existing teeth. These highly durable fillings are a favorite for both adults and children as they don’t detract attention from your natural smile like the older-style amalgam fillings.

Root Canal Treatment

A SAFE, COMFORTABLE WAY TO SAVE A TOOTH

When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, it can cause extreme discomfort. Infected teeth can even impact nutrition as chewing becomes difficult. Root canal treatment removes the damaged pulp to address these problems and save the tooth from extraction.

Our team uses the latest equipment and techniques for root canals to ensure our patients remain comfortable throughout treatment. This includes the use of cone-beam imaging, which allows us to meticulously plan your root canal treatment. Our team performs root canals gently and carefully so that you can preserve your smile.

Dental Crowns

CEREC SINGLE-VISIT CROWNS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE

At Staley Dental, we use dental crowns to restore moderate to severely damaged teeth. Thanks to CEREC technology, our skilled team can rapidly restore your smile in a single visit. We’ll design, create, and place your new crown on-site all in one appointment.

The dental crown process is very straightforward. We’ll start by taking some digital images of your teeth and mouth. Our team will then craft your dental crown out of the highest-quality material, such as e.max lithium disilicate or zirconia. We only use strong, durable materials that create a natural-looking result here at Staley Dental. However, it is important to note that zirconia crowns do require more than one appointment. If you need a crown, we will discuss which material will best suit your needs.

extraction

Tooth Extraction

SAVING A TOOTH IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE

An extraction is necessary when the tooth is no longer viable. Your comfort is our top priority during your extraction, and we offer a range of sedation dentistry options as well if you need a little help relaxing. Whether you have severely damaged teeth or you need your wisdom teeth removed, you can trust our team to safely extract your teeth with expert care. We’ll also provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible recovery.

perio

Periodontal Therapy

RESTORE HEALTH TO DISEASED GUMS

Taking care of your gums is important for your overall health and well-being. Gingivitis and periodontitis should receive professional treatment as early as possible. Left untreated, they can lead to exposed roots, tooth mobility, and tooth loss, which significantly affects quality of life. At Staley Dental, we offer a range of periodontal treatments, including scaling and root planing and laser therapy. We will create a periodontal treatment plan tailored to your specific needs to eliminate bacteria, stop disease progression, and restore your gum health.

nightguard

Nightguards and Mouth Guards

CUSTOM, COMFORTABLE DENTAL DEVICES

Did you know our Staley Dental team can help you keep your teeth, mouth, and jaw safe from the dangers of teeth grinding and sports injuries? Our custom-made nightguards and mouth guards fit comfortably and securely for maximum protection. We can make them to suit adults or children.

Nightguards are specifically designed to address teeth grinding and clenching. They prevent further tooth damage and wear while you sleep, whereas mouth guards cushion your teeth as you play sports and enjoy activities that put you at risk of dental injury. To learn more about nightguards and mouth guards, ask our team at your next dental appointment.

sedation

Sedation Dentistry

IDEAL FOR PATIENTS WITH DENTAL ANXIETY

Dental anxiety sometimes hinders patients from seeking dental care. This can lead to issues in the long run because without treatment, dental problems escalate. At Staley Dental, we offer sedation dentistry options to help you feel more relaxed and remain comfortable during treatment.

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, provides a mild sedative effect to help you feel more at ease. For a deeper level of sedation, our in-house nurse anesthetist can provide moderate IV sedation. Everything we do is aimed at creating a calm, stress-free environment. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our team to discuss sedation dentistry options for your next dental visit.
