Creating Your Smile :: General
Periodontal Therapy
You may not realize it, but most Americans experience some form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or gingivitis, is an infection of the supportive tissues of the mouth. If left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth loss, bleeding gums, receding gums and bad breath. Your Blue Stone Dental team will work with you to assess your periodontal health and conduct the appropriate treatment if needed. Your result is restored health of your gums and supportive tissue.
Tooth Colored Fillings
When you hear that you have a cavity or decay that must be filled, you want it gone with no reminders of its presence. You want the world to see your beautiful smile today rather than the cavities of the past. In the past, amalgam (silver) fillings were placed into the cleaned out portion of the damaged tooth. Blue Stone Dental now offers tooth-colored fillings instead of silver fillings resulting in white teeth throughout your smile.
Root Canal
You have heard the horror stories and seen the television exaggeration. Despite the tales you have heard about root canals, Blue Stone Dental takes great care to lead you through this minimally uncomfortable procedure. When a tooth’s nerve tissue has been exceedingly damaged, a root canal may be required. Soft tissue within your tooth, or the pulp, becomes infected and inflamed and must be removed. The remaining space is filled with inert material. The root canal is then completed with a filling or a crown.
PerioLase
As the most advanced technology and only FDA approved laser designed especially for Laser Periodontal Therapy, PerioLase treats the infection caused by periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or gingivitis. This treatment is minimally invasive, patient friendly and convenient, requiring only two 2-hour sessions. Your recovery time is reduced to a 24-hour period with PerioLase rather than two to four weeks with traditional surgery. Dr. Jay Corley is one of only a few doctors in the state of Texas with experience and training with Laser Periodontal Therapy.
OraVerse™
Your comfort is not only important during treatment, it is also important in the hours and moments immediately following your treatment. That’s why Blue Stone Dental invests in OraVerse™ – the first and only product that rapidly reverses the effects of your local dental anesthetic. OraVerse™ is safely administered by Dr. Lauck or Dr. Corley after your dental procedure and has been proven effective in patients ranging from 4 to 92.

Sleep Apnea
If you are one of the more than 12 million patients affected by sleep apnea in the United States, you know it is a disorder that disrupts your entire life, not just your sleep. Patients with untreated sleep apnea repeatedly stop breathing while sleeping. This may happen one or hundreds of times throughout the night and can last from a few seconds to minutes. Sleep Apnea is an under-diagnosed condition that you may be unaware you are suffering from simply because it occurs while you sleep. As one of Dr. Lauck’s focus areas, your can rest assured that your Blue Stone Dental team will provide expert care. Your treatment plan may include lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, breathing devices or, as a last resort, surgery. Then, you can finally get back to better sleep and better living.
