Restorative Dentistry

White Fillings

If you're embarrassed about your smile because of decay or dark fillings in your teeth, you may be a good candidate for composite resins. A silicon dioxide-filled, tooth-colored plastic mixture, composite resins can restore teeth to an attractive, healthy state. Composite resins represent several advantages over traditional silver, or amalgam, fillings.

Because composite resins are not made of metal, we can blend and mix shades to find the perfect color to match your natural teeth. This means only you and your dentist will know you have fillings. Another pro is that the tooth/composite bond actually supports the remaining tooth structure, deterring breakage and insulating against temperature changes. Medium and small composites can last seven to ten years - that's as long as the tried and true amalgams. Best of all, composite resins allow us to keep more of your natural tooth structure intact than amalgams. We believe in conservative dentistry - the more natural tooth structure you keep, the better teeth you'll likely have in the future.

Some patients experience mild and temporary post-placement sensitivity from composite resin fillings. The only caution we usually mention is that coffee, tea, and other staining foods and beverages may discolor your composites unless you ask to have them coated with a clear plastic sealant.

Smile Makeovers

Ready for a whole new smile? Before we begin treatment, we can show you how it will look with a 3D wax model of your mouth. We’ll even make a special model that you can put in your mouth to see just how great you’ll look when your treatment is complete.

Comprehensive Examinations

Our comprehensive examinations begin with a complete medical history, vital signs, and oral cancer screening. We then conduct a thorough exam of your teeth and gums and other soft tissue to ensure the most accurate assessment. Using an intraoral camera, we will show you any areas of concern so you will understand your treatment plan.

Referrals

Occasionally, we feel that a patient with a more complicated or severe problem—an impacted wisdom tooth or advanced periodontal disease, for example—would benefit from the services of a specialist in that area. In these cases, we can refer patients to specialists whom we know and trust to provide the same high quality of care that we provide.

For Your Comfort

We want you to feel that our office is an oasis of calm in your life. You can listen to music on our noise-canceling headphones and lay back in the dental chair with pillows and blankets we provide. To help you with your anxiety level during your treatment, we also offer nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) and oral and IV sleep sedation. Tell us the comfort level you desire.
