- Dental SealantsDisease care ”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
- FillingsIn the past, most patients had amalgam fillings placed on back teeth to repair cavities. White composite (bonded) fillings have been used on front teeth for cavity repair. Amalgam has been a good restorative material for back teeth, providing a relatively low cost alternative to the older style, expensive gold fillings. White bonding on back teeth was limited to a selected number of back tooth situations due to the limitations of the bonding material themselves.
- CrownsThey have been found to strengthen the remaining tooth portion more than amalgam, decreasing the potential need for a crown on a tooth at a later time.
