- Dental ExaminationGum disease is one of the most common health conditions in the world, and studies show us that it doesn’t just stop at affecting your mouth – it can also have negative effects on your overall wellbeing, particularly your heart. What’s worse is that many patients aren’t even aware of a problem because the symptoms of gum disease tend to be subtle and even unnoticeable in the early stages. Dr. John Russo takes this threat seriously, which is why our team will always provide a periodontal screening as part of your routine checkups. If we find related damage, several options are available for gum diease treatment in Orlando, FL to provide valuable relief and healing.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYour teeth can last for a lifetime, believe it or not! Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, and with proper care and regular dental visits, your teeth easily withstand a lifetime of wear and tear. At your dental visit, Dr. John Russo will show you how to optimize your oral health and prevent dental damage. He will recommend an appropriate cleaning interval, perform an oral cancer screening using the VELscope, Fluoride to strengthen enamel, or a nightguard to curtail destructive teeth grinding. Our goal is to prevent you from needing dental reconstruction in the future! Contact our dental office today if you have any questions or if you’re ready to schedule an appointment for preventive dentistry in Orlando, FL.

- Fluoride TreatmentIn particular, younger patients often struggle with feelings of fear, panic, or restlessness in the dentist’s office. That’s why we take our time to be as gentle and friendly as possible building a relationship with your children that helps them feel relaxed and at ease each time you bring them in. When our young patients need fillings, Dr. Russo offers overhead televisions and laughing gas to make dental care easier and more comfortable, as well as reduces the need for shots. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for potential developmental concerns during their routine checkups. If we do spot any issues, we offer several children’s dentistry services like dental sealants and Fluoride treatment to protect and strengthen their growing smile.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are designed to cover the chewing surfaces of certain back teeth, effectively “sealing” them shut so that the deep grooves are less capable of trapping food particles and bacteria, resulting in cavity formation. Dr. Russo typically recommends this treatment for younger patients who are still learning to care for their teeth and need extra protection, but they also benefit adults who are oversensitive to decay. Sealants are simple and painless to apply, and with proper maintenance, they can last up to 10 years!
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeWhereas metal fillings are made from a mixture of mercury, tin, copper and other metals, tooth-colored fillings are made of composite resin and silica. These materials not only look like natural enamel, but they also act more like enamel in response to temperature and chewing pressure. This provides benefits for both the appearance and health of your teeth.
- VeneersAre your imperfect front teeth interfering with your overall “look?” Smile do-overs are possible with veneers from your cosmetic dentist in Orlando. Dr. John E. Russo provides beautiful dental transformations with these thin coverings that mask a number of imperfections, from chips and cracks to stains and even minor orthodontic issues. Ready to reveal your celebrity smile? It’s time for you to learn more about porcelain veneers in Orlando, FL.
- CrownsA dental crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is a restoration that fits completely over the top of your damaged tooth. This replaces the lost parts of the tooth as well as protects any remaining dental structure. Dental crowns are crafted from a number of different materials, including gold, porcelain fused to metal, all-ceramic, and zirconia. This restoration is generally recommended for patients with the following situations...
- BridgesIf you’ve suffered from tooth loss, you know just how difficult it can be to complete daily tasks, like chewing your food, speaking clearly, and smiling with confidence. Fortunately, there are a variety of tooth replacement options out there to fill in the missing gaps in your smile. Dr. John E. Russo offers customized dental bridges to restore the appearance and function of your smile. To learn more and find out if a dental bridge in Orlando is the right solution for you, give us a call to schedule a consultation.
- Dental BondingDirect Bonding – We can use the same material we use to make tooth-colored fillings to repair minor flaws in your teeth, such as chips, cracks, and gaps. This is a much less expensive option than veneers, but it will need to be redone every few years and can only be used for very small issues. Veneers can address larger imperfections than dental bonding, and can last much longer.

- Tooth ExtractionsWhen they’re necessary, tooth extractions benefit your oral health in many ways.

- Bone GraftingIf you are ready to enjoy a natural-feeling solution, All-On-4 may be right for you. If you have good oral and general health, you may be a candidate for the treatment. Besides a visual examination, you also need a CT scan to assess your jawbone. Even if you have been told you are not a candidate for dental implants in the past because of bone loss, you may still be able to get All-On-4. It is often the ideal treatment for those who have lost bone density and do not want to undergo bone grafting because the posts are placed into the thickest parts of your jaw.
- OrthodonticsSometimes called "instant orthodontics," veneers are thin shells of porcelain placed over existing, minimally prepared teeth. They allow Dr. Russo to improve the color, shape, size, alignment, and texture of teeth. Best of all, veneers usually require only two visits for placement. Improvements in the quality of porcelains and advancements in bonding agents and techniques have made achieving a flawless smile easier than ever.
