Preventative dentistry
Without diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque can form on your teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that eats away your tooth enamel. If plaque is left on your teeth for long periods of time it forms a hard substance called calculus. Calculus can form above or below the gum line and has to be removed with special tools. If calculus is not removed it can cause bone loss and periodontal disease. Come in for a doctor's exam and X-rays at our dental office in Star Valley, Thayne Wyoming to find any existing issues and get cleaning to make sure things don’t get worse.
Restorative Dentistry
If decay is found in the tooth enamel it needs to be removed and replaced with a composite resin filling. Ideally, the decay can be removed before reaching the inner pulp. If decay is left untreated it will eventually advance into the pulp and cause tooth sensitivity and eventually an infection in the root of the tooth. In order to save the tooth at this point the nerve or pulp tissue would need to be removed and filled, this procedure is called a root canal. If the infection is left too long the tooth would eventually require an extraction.
Teeth
Whitening
The number one question we are asked about teeth whitening in Star Valley is "Does it damage my teeth?" and the answer is "no", although it can cause sensitivity. If you would like to have a whiter smile, there are multiple options to achieve that. As your dentist in Star Valley, we offer at-home teeth whitening at our dental office in Thayne, Wyoming as well as pain-on teeth whiteners. To keep your smile bright and fresh in between treatments, you can also use whitening toothpaste and whitening mouthwash.

“Wonderful with kids. The whole staff is friendly and goes out of their way to make it a pleasant experience for my kids. They work well with even my littlest, and made sure they were all comfortable. My kids leave the dentist excited about their teeth and they look forward to coming back. Both Dr Johnson and Jorgensen are easy to talk to about concerns and are very helpful with suggestions. The hygienists are wonderful.”
Janessa Erickson
“My son had the best first time dentist appointment with Riverside Dental. They made him feel so welcome and comfortable. Not only did they take care of my son, but they were so kind and generous to my other two little ones there. What could have been a terrifying experience for all three, was made in to a comfortable and welcoming visit!”
Kandee Peterson
“Everyone at Riverside Dental does a wonderful job. They obviously enjoy working there and strive to make my dental visit as positive as possible. I was greeted warmly by the receptionist. After waiting a few minutes, the bubbly aide showed me to my station. My hygienist Becky skillfully and efficiently cleaned my teeth. Dr. Johnson reviewed my charts and inspected my teeth. Unlike my other dentist, he did not try to sell me unneeded services. My billing and scheduling of next appointment were done quickly. I left the office feeling well taken care of.”
