Cleanings

Taking care of your teeth with basic cleanings and active dental care can help to prevent many painful and costly problems in the future. It’s all about prevention. Brush your teeth often, floss your teeth well, and get your teeth cleaned professionally at the dentist’s office at the appropriate intervals.

Why is it vital to visit the dentist for periodic cleanings? First, it makes it easier for your dentist to ensure the health of your teeth. Cavities can be detected earlier and repaired more conservatively. Second, and just as importantly, regular cleanings remove plaque and calculus build up above and below the gums ensuring less tooth decay, bad breath and gum disease.

Even with crowns, bridges and partial dentures, the necessity for regular cleanings does not diminish and, if anything, the need is increased. Keeping them in good condition is key to avoiding further procedures.

Daily brushing and flossing will keep your mouth healthy and make your teeth cleanings easier. Look at the few minutes a day you spend taking care of your teeth as an investment that will keep away time consuming procedures and costly bills in the future. Daily cleanings will also keep your smile beautiful for years to come.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is used when tooth structure needs to be replaced due to decay or a breakage in the tooth. Depending on how much healthy tooth structure is remaining, an appropriate restoration is chosen to provide the tooth the strength and protection it needs to remain healthy.

The two main technical concerns when selecting the appropriate restoration are it’s ability to seal out bacteria and it’s ability to provide strength to the tooth. Depending on the situation, there are a number of restorative options and materials we choose from to make sure it is the best restoration for the tooth.

Sealants

Dental sealants are used to prevent tooth decay. The morphology of the tooth includes deep, thin crevices that form the grooves that are seen with the naked eye. Sealants fill in the grooves to prevent bacteria from getting trapped and creating a cavity.

Fillings

The bacteria that live in plaque are always looking for a safer place to live. Nothing provides shelter from toothbrush bristles, floss, and mouth rinses like the inside of your tooth! A “cavity” refers to the cavitation that the bacteria create in a tooth. The decay has to be removed or it will continue to spread and eventually enter the nerve of the tooth.

Implants

Dental implants are an ideal way to replace missing teeth in most cases. They are the preferred prosthetic for both clinical and cosmetic reasons. They they rely on a patient’s actual bone for support and are the most similar to the look and feel of the natural tooth.
