FILLINGS

more info..

What is Dental filling?

A filling repairs the surface of a tooth that has been damaged by decay, fracture or wear. The dentist uses a handpiece to remove the damaged portion of the tooth and fills the space with the necessary material that can be tooth-colored or silver. This is done under local anesthesia.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and Bridges

A crown is done when a tooth has been damaged by fracture, decay or wear and the remaining tooth is not strong enough to resist further damage. Crowning a tooth can help prevent loss of natural tooth. A bridge is used when teeth adjacent to missing teeth can be crowned to fill in space with artificial teeth.

Comprehensive examinations

Comprehensive examinations

During this appointment, full mouth digital x-rays will be taken and examination of teeth and mouth will be completed to determine any dental or oral problems. All treatment options will be discussed with patients, so they can make the best decision for themselves.

Routine cleanings

more info..

Routine Cleanings

A routine cleaning is done every 3-6 months to remove plaque and tartar build-up and removal of stain that cannot be removed by the patient. This is important to prevent gingivitis, periodontal disease and cavities. An exam and digital x-rays are done to diagnose or prevent any problems. Early detection and good oral hygiene prevents unnecessary pain, time and money.

Extractions

more info..

Extractions

A simple dental extraction is the one in which dental tools are used to pull out the tooth. It is used for the teeth that are visible and easily accessible. Dentists use local anesthesia for the procedure. On the other hand, a surgical extraction is performed when the damaged tooth is not accessible and is impacted.

Sealants

more info..

What does a sealant do to a tooth?

Dental sealants are thin coatings that when painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) can prevent cavities (tooth decay) for many years. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces from cavities by covering them with a protective shield that blocks out germs and food.
