Dental Examination
Dental exams are also known as oral exams or dental checkups. These consist of checking up on your gums and teeth by your dentist. The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dental office for an exam every six months.
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
Brushing and flossing your teeth every day, while important, is only part of a successful oral care regiment. Visiting us every 6 months for a dental cleaning and checkup will help ensure a healthy mouth. Our dentists and dental hygienists will use dental tools to perform painless procedures that remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that can build up on your teeth that donâ€™t always get cleaned by brushing and flossing alone. Combining regular brushing and flossing with regular visits to us leads to not only a more confident smile, but is a great defense against tooth decay, tooth loss, and gum disease.
Fluoride Treatment
Where you aware your teeth have a built-in defense system to help protect them from cavities and tooth decay ? It is called enamel and it is the hard surface of your teeth. However, bacteria can eat away at tooth enamel if you don’t properly clean and take care of your mouth causing cavities and other damage. Our dentists recommend that you receive regular fluoride treatments to help strengthen your tooth enamel and this can help reverse the effects of tooth decay.
Dental Sealants
A dental sealant is a plastic coating which is usually placed on your back teeth, the molars or premolars, and on top of the tooth that does the chewing, known as the occlusal surface. Dental Sealants help protect your teeth from decay.

Fillings
The inner part of the tooth is the dentin, which is more porous and similar to bone. It consists of microscopic tubes of collagen with calcium crystal deposits. Dentin is living and very sensitive. Feeling in the dentin is transmitted through the pulp, or nerve tissues, in the center of the tooth. To mimic the dentin that is natural the teeth, today’s dental composite resins are common in non-amalgam fillings. These composites are made of a plastic resin and silica filler.
Resin Composite
Our dentists use materials that are tooth-colored composite resins and porcelains that are both safe and predictable. The most important feature for many people is that they look and react more like natural teeth.
Veneers
Placing custom veneers requires a high level of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We are very experienced in installing veneers and design each scenario individually in order to match and improve the characteristics of each patient’s unique smile.
Crowns
We invite all our friends and their families in Osseo, MN to come visit us at Brooklyn Blvd Denta l whether you are in need of a dental crown, or if you are looking for a top-notch dentist. We would love the opportunity to earn your business.
Bridges
We invite all our friends and their families in Champlin, MN to come visit us at Brooklyn Blvd Dental whether you are in need of a dental bridge, or if you are looking for a top-notch dentist. We would love the opportunity to earn your business.
Dental Bonding
No preparation is needed for dental bonding. Even anesthesia often is not necessary, unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
Restorative Dentistry
Whether our dentist uses the term â€œrestorative dentistryâ€ or â€œprosthodontic dentistry,â€ the mission is to preserve as much and as many of your natural teeth as possible. Replacing a missing tooth or teeth with a dental implant, bridge, full or partial denture helps promote dental health as well. Example: if you have gaps in your teeth filling the empty spaces can be helpful in preventing cavities in the surrounding teeth because gaps can cause vulnerable spots for plaque and the bacteria in plaque to have a place to build up. Missing teeth can also put extra stress on the surrounding natural teeth because there is less surface to use for chewing, hence, more pressure.

Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics is the branch of dental care that deals with diseases of the tooth’s pulp. The pulp is found in the center of the tooth, inside the root of each tooth. The pulp is made up of connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels. The pulp is responsible for nourishing the tooth until it emerges through the gum. Once the tooth is mature, the pulp can be removed without destroying the tooth. That’s because each tooth also is nourished by a blood supply in the gums.

Deep Cleaning
Gum disease, or periodontal disease as itâ€™s known in the business, can have an adverse effect on your overall oral health. Caused by bacteria found in plaque, gum disease most often occurs in patients who neglect routine oral care. Proper brushing and flossing and regular checkups will fight the occurrence of gum disease. Symptoms commonly found in gum disease are swollen, red, and bleeding gums or a receding gum line. If gum disease is left untreated, it can result in tooth loss. Please donâ€™t let it get to that point. We treat gum disease with a deep cleaning. We even go below the gum line to remove plaque and other deposits that lead to bacterial growth and bone loss when left untreated. Remember, brush, floss and regular checkups !

Dentures
If you are in need of new cosmetic dentures, we can help you. We design dentures for individuals who understand that high-quality cosmetic dentures can enhance their lifestyle. We want you to experience the best-looking and best-fitting dentures available.

Dental Implants
Born an artist, raised as an engineer, refined as a dentist. Dr. Lam Tu is the newest addition to the Brooklyn Boulevard Dental family. He holds both a bachelors in engineering and doctor of dentistry degree from the University of Minnesota. Finishing in 2011, Dr. Tu added a bonus year to study dentistry on the toughest patients in the state at a General Practice Residency program at the University of North Carolina. Dr. Tu went on to spend years studying implantology under the guidance of the recently passed and highly revered instructor Dr. Misch who wrote the most used dental reference book on dental implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
The decision to remove a tooth is a last resort procedure. Our dentists work very hard to keep your natural teeth whenever possible. However, it a tooth is excessively damaged or severely decayed, the tooth will be removed. Tooth extraction can result in a bit of pain. Our very skilled dentists use the latest technologies and the proper use of anesthetics to usually minimize the pain. The degree of potential discomfort can depend on the complexity of removing the tooth. The complexity of the extraction will be affected by a number of factors such as the ligament strength, the position of the tooth, the amount of damage to the tooth, and the strength of the tooth.

Orthodontics
Cosmetic dentistry has evolved from simply replacing and restoring damaged teeth to covering a wide scope of aesthetic procedures. Todayâ€™s cosmetic dentistry includes tooth whitening, bonding, tooth-colored restorations and fillings, porcelain veneers, orthodontics, dental implants, and more. You may be surprised by how dentistry has evolved and what can be done by an experienced cosmetic dentist.
Braces
Yes! Itâ€™s even more important that patients with braces have regular checkups with their dentist. With braces, food can get caught in places that your toothbrush might not be able to reach. This can cause bacteria to build up and can lead to cavities, gum disease, and gingivitis. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to ensure that your teeth stay clean and healthy throughout your braces wearing period.

Teeth Whitening
He will tell you whether teeth whitening procedures will be effective for you. Whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellowed teeth generally bleach well, brownish-colored teeth don’t always bleach well, and grayed teeth might not bleach well at all.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Kotonias and Dr. Spanish continue to monitor and educate themselves on the advances in Cosmetic Dentistry and technology and are regularly participating in continuing education. Our dentists have many years of experience in aesthetic dentistry and have been recognized for providing the finest cosmetic treatment by many of their happy patients throughout Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, New Hope and Columbia Heights.
