Our Services
From routine cleaning and fillings to bruxism devices. Dr. Aragona is equipped to handle all your dental needs. To help you understand your options, we've included descriptions of some of our leading services on this page.
In-Office Lab Work
Performing lab work such as die trimming, model making and creating crowns allows Dr. Aragona to have complete control over all laboratory procedures. He is able to be involved in the lab process rather than dependent on commercial dental laboratories, like most offices. Of course, this means more precise and beautiful restorations for you, not to mention a faster turnaround.
Dr. Aragona Offers You Progressive Technology
Two of dentistry's most innovative and effective tools are the intraoral camera and computer imaging. Imagine before Dr. Aragona begins your work, you'll have a computer-generated concept of what your beautiful new smile will look like. And while no computer image will provide the exact results of your smile, it will provide a road map to guide both you and Dr. Aragona toward your mutual goal.
Dr. Aragona also uses an intraoral camera and high quality digital photography. These technologies will enable you to see exactly what Dr. Aragona sees and provide you with the knowledge you need to improve your smile along with a photographic simulation of what your new smile may look like.

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth. A Previsor™ health risk assessment report in the areas of Oral Cancer, Periodontal Disease, Dental Decay, Fractures and Root exposure is given to each patient.
Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
