Our Dental Services
General Dentistry
General dentistry is the basis of maintaining pristine oral health and a beautiful smile. With general dentistry, our team can keep your smile clean, prevent oral diseases, and put you on the path to a lifetime of good oral health. Our general dental services include routine dental checkups, professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and more.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the enhancement of your smile. If you’re looking to improve cosmetic flaws or just boost the brightness of your smile, cosmetic dentistry may be the right choice for you. We provide cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers, Invisalign, professional teeth whitening, and more.
Dental Implants
If you’re living with missing teeth, you know how it can affect your day-to-day life. Luckily, at Oelwein & West Union Dental Associates, we offer a variety of different dental implant options. No matter if you’re missing a single tooth or a full arch of teeth, we have the implant solutions you need to complete your smile once again.
Emergency Care
When it comes to experiencing a dental emergency, we know it can be scary. If you’re unsure of what qualifies as a dental emergency, call our office. We’ll walk you through the situation and let you know what the next step is. Some of the more common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, a knocked-out tooth, and signs of infection. Dr. Kruger and our team take same-day emergency appointments to accommodate all patients.
Restorative Dentistry
Struggling with missing or damaged teeth can greatly affect your self-esteem as well as impact your oral health. Dr. Kruger offers restorative dentistry services for patients to feel whole again. If you’re ready to restore the look, feel, and function of your smile, our team has you covered.
TMJ & TMD
Living with facial pain can quickly impact your life. If you experience temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), Dr. Kruger can help relieve your pain. We often provide custom oral appliances for patients with TMD as this is a non-invasive alternative to oral surgery. Our goal is to provide the most comfortable and effective care possible.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition in which your airway becomes obstructed during sleep, cutting off your flow of oxygen and causing you to frequently wake up during the night. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to other serious health complications, including heart disease, diabetes, and more
Oral Surgery
Sometimes to restore the health and function of a patient’s smile, oral surgery is needed. Oral surgery is any procedure that involves the manipulation of tissues in your mouth. Our team offers IV anesthesia for patients undergoing oral surgery to ensure they’re comfortable and feel no pain during the procedure. We offer tooth removal, root canal treatment, and a variety of other surgical procedures.

What happens during a routine teeth cleaning?
During your professional teeth cleaning appointment, our dental hygiene team will thoroughly rid your teeth of any built-up plaque and bacteria to ensure you leave our office with a bright, healthy smile. The cleaning begins with an oral health examination to check for cavities or signs of gum infection.
The dental hygienist will then begin removing plaque and tartar by scraping them off before using a high-powered electric toothbrush with special toothpaste that ensures any leftover tartar is removed. They’ll then floss and rinse your mouth, leaving you with a healthy smile.
There may be additional steps taken during these cleanings depending on the status of your oral health.
