Cleanings and Prevention
Routine check-ups are recommended every 6 months to keep your smile looking and feeling good. We give your teeth the thorough cleaning they need and check for any cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer.
Tooth Extractions
Whether it’s disease, bacteria, or something else, sometimes it can get bad and a tooth just isn’t worth keeping anymore. In that case, we offer extractions where we can remove the tooth completely. Typically this is in preparation for an implant, or dentures.
Oral Pathology
Every checkup we will perform a cancer screening. We look for abnormalities and dramatic changes in the mouth. If necessary, we’ll take an X-ray to make sure everything looks right.
Root Canals
If you need a root canal, you better find someone who does it right. This procedure is designed to relieve pain and save an abscessed or severely broken down tooth by removing all diseased tissue around it.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are way in the back of the mouth. Often times, they get in the way as your adult teeth grow in, causing pain and discomfort. Extracting your wisdom teeth is the solution.
Cosmetic Dental Services
With our cosmetic dentistry, you can get that perfect smile you deserve to give you the confidence you need. We’ve worked with hundreds of patients on perfecting their smile and would love to do the same for you! See all our cosmetic dental services below.

Bonding
This procedure involves sculpting and reforming a tooth to a more desirable shape. We use a plastic composite material specifically colored to match your teeth so your smile looks better than ever.
Dental Veneers
If your smile isn’t where you want it to be, veneers might be your answer. They are a thin porcelain layer bonded to the face of a tooth to achieve the perfect shape and color that you desire.
Whitening
Although it varies from case to case, we usually recommend you come in 3 to 5 times over the course of a few months to get the white smile you see on TV. Our proven whitening process uses a hydrogen peroxide bleach, making them look brand new.
Restorative Dentistry
Whether you’ve had an accident, or simply haven’t had the time to take care of your teeth, we can get them back to looking and feeling great with our restorative dental services.

Fillings
Cavities can happen for a number of reasons. Fillings are the solution. We place a restorative material that is typically tooth-colored, but sometimes silver or gold, in a slightly damaged tooth to bring it back to its original form and function.
Bridges
If you’re missing teeth, bridges are a great option. We perform a fixed or non-removable procedure to replace your missing teeth by using your existing teeth as an anchor.
Crowns
If your teeth are worn down, crowns can get them back into good form. Also known as onlays, crowns are a tooth-colored restorative material cemented over severely damaged or broken down teeth, bringing them back into top shape.
Dental Implants
The most robust choice to replace missing teeth, implants are titanium anchors that attach to the jawbone, replacing the root of the missing teeth. Then, we cement a crown on top of the implant for a long-lasting solution.
Dentures
Another solution for missing teeth, we also offer dentures and partials. These are a removable substitute to replace missing teeth.
Periodontics
Periodontal disease can start small, and if detected early, cause minimal damage. However, most people do not seek help during the early onset. With regular oral cancer screenings and checkups with Dr. Greg Boucek, we can detect the disease early and prevent invasive procedures, like extractions and root canals. But if periodontal disease or gingivitis has gotten worse, we can handle that too. Dr. Boucek has been practicing periodontics in Memphis, TN for over 30 years and can help keep your smile healthy, starting today!
What is Periodontal Disease?
Any disease of the gums, teeth, or general oral cavity is referred to as periodontal disease. It typically occurs due to neglect, or heavy tobacco use. Abnormal bleeding, swelling, or coloration of the teeth and gums are all signs of periodontal disease. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to costly, and invasive procedures down the road, so we recommend periodontal screenings every six months with Dr. Boucek, ensuring you catch and fight this disease early.
Treatments for Periodontal Disease
If you have periodontal disease, we use a number of treatments depending on the severity, and uniqueness of your case. Sometimes, we can use a periodontic laser to kill infected 
tissue along with antibiotics to fight the infection. In more severe cases operation may be necessary to remove the infected gums.
This disease can lead to a root canal in an attempt to save a tooth, or an extraction if the tooth is too badly infected to be recovered. Every case is different so make sure you have an experienced dentist before moving forward with sometimes unnecessary, costly procedures. However, as always, regular checkups are the best way to ensure a healthy, beautiful smile.
Hygiene/Oral Cancer Screenings
Don’t wait for pain or discomfort to arise to ensure that your smile stays healthy.
Recommended once every 6 months, a cleaning and oral cancer screening are an integral part of your overall health and general well-being.
Nitrous Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous Sedation, also known as laughing gas, is offered during any of our procedures in our east Memphis office. Dr. Boucek knows that for some people, going to the dentist is scary. That’s why along with their staff, they do everything they can to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed during your time in our offices.
Nitrous Sedation Dentistry is a Comfortable, Relaxed Experience
Local anesthetics are applied during almost all of our dental procedures. This numbs the mouth and ensures no discomfort during your visit. Some patients may also request nitrous sedation. Nitrous sedation helps to relieve anxiety and add to the comfort of the experience. Patients do not usually fall asleep during nitrous sedation, but they may feel lighter and carefree throughout their body.
We believe that everyone should be proud of their smile. That is why we encourage nitrous sedation as a way to relieve anxiety for those that are hesitant about going to the dentist. This way the patient can relax, and Dr. Boucek will do what he does best, give you a healthy and beautiful smile.
If you have an emergency dental need, and need a sedation dentist in the Memphis area, contact us immediately!
Orthodontics
Very few people are born with perfectly straight teeth. You may have healthy teeth, but maybe they’ve grown in a little crooked or slanted. For three decades, Dr. Boucek has been straightening teeth for patients throughout the Memphis area. Orthodontics and braces provide an excellent way to tweak that smile so that you look and feel more confident.
Traditional Braces
Braces are a series of bands and brackets placed on the face of the teeth and connected by a wire to apply pressure on the teeth. Over time, traditional braces are sure to straighten your teeth to give you the straight smile you desire. You’ll often need to wear a retainer after having braces, but every case is different. We’ll be sure to create a special plan to get your teeth where they need to be so you feel happy with your smile.
Invisalign
A relatively new concept in dentistry, Invisalign is a solution to straighten teeth for those who don’t want the look of traditional braces in their smile. Invisalign is a series
of retainers that serve the same purpose as traditional braces, giving the patient straighter teeth and a more confident smile. This service can have your teeth straight in as little as a few months depending on the case. Come in to our east Memphis office and let us create a custom Invisalign plan to get your teeth looking beautiful.
If you’re looking for braces or dental services for children, we can help with that too. Just enter your information in the contact form and we’ll be in touch.
Pediatric Dentistry for Kids
Our practice offers services for people of all ages so that your entire family can have their dental needs fulfilled in one place. Dr. Boucek has 3 children, so we understand the unique needs of every child that comes into the office. Along with our staff, we do everything possible to make sure you feel confident in bringing your kids to us. Entire families from the Memphis area have come to our offices for generations because they know we can give the whole family a beautiful, healthy smile. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in east Memphis, you have come to the right place!
Sedation Dentistry for Children
We know that kids can experience anxiety during a visit to the dentist. We do everything we can to develop a trusting relationship with each family and child to minimize that anxiety. With parental consent, we also offer laughing gas or sedation dentistry for kids to ease the discomfort and relieve the anxiety of the child.
General Checkups for Kids
Preventative care early in a child’s life is the best way to avoid issues down the road. Over the past 30 years, we have seen that regular checkups for a child help the patient value their oral health later in life. Just like for adults, we recommend your kids come to see us every six months for routine cleanings and screenings. Sometimes kids forget (or don’t like) to brush their teeth, so these regular checkups are crucial in preventing disease and infection later in the child’s adolescence.
Contact our office today to schedule an appointment to keep your smile healthy and strong! Whether you are looking for a family dentist, orthodontic services, restorative services or general cleanings for your children, we have what you need right here at our office in East Memphis!
