We recommend this because each time you visit, we check to make sure there have been no changes to your oral health. This is important because oral health has been proven to be linked to overall well-being.
While you must brush and floss at home, we can provide a deeper cleaning for your mouth—especially in those hard-to-reach places. With our dental instruments, we scrape plaque and tartar from your teeth, which can cause cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. We polish your pearly whites to remove stains and give you a brighter smile.
First, we’ll choose a composite resin that is as close to your natural tooth color as possible. After creating a rough surface on the affected tooth, our dental experts will “bond” the resin to your tooth.
After shaping it on the tooth and drying it with a UV light, you’re ready to go. This simple outpatient procedure is a good alternative to a veneer or crown, especially if it’s just a crack or small chip.
Getting teeth x-rays regularly is part of keeping a vital part of your body—your teeth—in top shape so you can chew, speak, smile, and digest food better.
At Peters Creek Dentistry, we offer tooth-colored composite fillings, an alternative to silver fillings, made of plastic that fill the cavity and make your tooth look like new, preventing further damage or infection. This quick and painless procedure will fix the appearance of your tooth and allow you to eat as normal within a few hours.
Most sealants are applied when a patient is young, before they reach the age of 13. But they can also be used to protect vulnerable tooth surfaces from cavities in adults, as a second line of defense in certain cases. The best time to get sealants is when a tooth has a deep cavity, but you can also get sealants if you have small chips or cracks in your teeth.
If you notice swelling or bleeding gums, especially when you brush or floss, this is a sign of gum disease. The good news is that frequent visits to our office and non-surgical treatment are an effective way to help prevent and treat gum disease before it worsens, while also improving the health of your gums.
