Our goal is to cover everything you need with a full and efficient assessment, but without waiting to see the doctor. Absolutely love everyone in this office, have been a patient for 10 years and would recommend them highly as I have to several people who are now patients! Incredible staff, the welcoming vibe of the front office removes the fact that you are even at the dentist to get worked on.

Once in the chair, you are seen immediately by one, of many, caring and precise professionals provided. A thorough and quick procedure is always performed by the staff, and you feel renewed as you exit the architectural sound office.
Services
If your smile has been damaged by accident, decay, or disease, Tatum Creek Family Dentistry can provide modern, aesthetic restorations.
From simple fillings to full-mouth reconstruction, we deliver natural-looking, fully-functional results for optimum oral health and comfort.
In the past, if you had a decayed or fractured tooth it meant compromising your all-white smile with metal restorations.
Today, we have tooth-colored fillings and porcelain crowns to return strength and beauty.
With these options, the dentist is able to preserve more of your natural tooth structure as well.
Every time you open a magazine or turn on the television, you see people with perfectly aligned, brilliantly white smiles.
You may think it's good genetics, but the truth is most people are not born with their vision of an ideal smile.
Whether your concerns are purely cosmetic or strictly functionality, in just two visits, Dr. McKinney and Dr. Putnam can transform your smile.
Porcelain Crowns are an excellent choice when recreating the form and function of a damaged tooth, because a crown basically replaces the entire external portion of the tooth down to the gum level.
Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices.
Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.
How do Crowns Work?
A crown is used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth.
Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment.
A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function.
Dental implants are actually a series of procedures used to recreate a missing tooth.
The key part of a dental implant is the initial titanium implant which sits in the original tooth's bone pocket, or alveolus.
The titanium works well with the bone and actually forms a bond with it over time, much like the original bond between the tooth and the jaw bone.
This is essential as it prevents bone loss that would normally occur with any other type of tooth replacement.
Dental implants are capped with a crown, which replicates the enamel or visible portion of a tooth, and in many cases the replacement tooth will work just as well, if not better, than the original tooth.
Accidents happen, and knowing what to do when one occurs can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.
Here are some common dental emergencies and how to deal with them.
For all dental emergencies, it's important to visit your dentist as soon as possible.
Most dentists reserve time in their daily schedules for emergency patients so be sure to call your dentist and provide as much detail as you can about your condition.
If the accident occurs when your dental office is not open, visit your local emergency room.
