Cosmetic Dentistry

A bright, straight smile can do wonders for your overall outlook. And the procedures that get your teeth looking straight and healthy also help them perform better, contributing to your overall health. Whether Dr. Bratton is brightening, straightening, or supporting the look and function of your teeth with veneers, bridges, crowns, braces, or implants, your overall well-being is the goal.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Restorative Dentistry

Teeth that have become decayed, chipped, cracked, broken, or have been lost entirely, can contribute to dull smiles, difficulty eating or speaking, and the shifting of teeth due to lack of support. Through fillings, overlays, inlays, bonding, and more, Dr. Bratton can get your mouth feeling and working the way it should.

Restorative Dentistry

Orthodontics

No matter your age, crooked teeth can cause real confidence problems, preventing you from smiling or even from speaking with energy because you don’t want to show your teeth. Dr. Bratton offers traditional and ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, SureSmile Clear Aligners (similar to Invisalign), and palatal expanders for children.

Orthodontics

Implant Dentistry

A dental implant is the strongest, most natural-looking replacement for a missing tooth. First, a titanium rod is secured into the jaw; that is done by a trusted oral surgeon recommended by Dr. Bratton. Once that has healed, Dr. Bratton will custom-create and attach an artificial tooth to the rod, using a connector called an abutment.

Implant Dentistry

TMJ Dentistry

TMJ and TMD are painful conditions causing excessive strain in the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. It often results from involuntary or habitual clenching of the teeth. Dr. Bratton can help relieve these conditions with a two-phase dental appliance treatment. She may also recommend the use of Botox to relieve pressure or refer you to a specialist for physical therapy.

Dr. Bratton is phenomenal! I first started seeing her as my dentist and we started to talk about my discomfort with my jaw. She advised on some first steps we could make to help with the pain and go from there. I feel like I’m getting my life back. She truly cares about her patients and works to find the best solutions tailored to you. I live in Kansas City but I will drive to St. Joe to continue to get her amazing care! Office and staff are fantastic too! Call and book today!

I have had bad experiences at the dentist throughout my life and because of this I neglected my teeth for a long time. About a year ago I gave dr bratton a shot after someone recommended her. She has done root canals, fillings, extractions on me you name it. I no longer have a fear of the dentist. She makes sure you’re 100% comfortable. It is always a good experience going to that office and dealing with any of them.
