Airpolishing
Everyone wants healthy gums, sparkling white teeth, and a beautiful smile. While brushing and flossing remove plaque and help to prevent tartar build-up (calculus), most people do accumulate some stain and calculus by their recall visit. With the invention of ultrasonic scalers, tartar can gently be removed with minimal pressure and without harming the teeth or gums. After the tartar is removed, most stains can be easily washed away with a prophy-jet airpolishing unit using a combination of special dental soda, water, and air without ever touching the teeth. Consequently, there is no pressure nor is there any discomfort due to heat build-up. We invite you to try this system of polishing teeth. No doubt, you will agree that airpolishing is a very pleasant way to "Shine Up Your Smile."

Sealants
A sealant is a plastic material that is usually applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth - premolars and molars. This plastic resin bonds into the depressions and grooves of the chewing surfaces of back teeth. The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting enamal from plaque and acids. What factors could make an adult a canidate for sealants? The best way to determine the need for sealants is to evaluate the person's risk for pit and fissure decay. Risk can also vary for the same person over time, because changes in personal habits, health status, and medication use are known to increase risk for decay. Lack of access to fluorides and fluoridated water, a history of previous decay, and chronic xerostomia (dry mouth) are also factors your dentist will consider when evaluating you for sealants. Do sealants help save money? Prevention is better than treatment. When one considers that properly applied and maintained sealants are extremely effective in preventing pit and fissure decay, sealants are a very cost-effective measure. For aver 20 years the American Dental Association has evaluated sealants, and a number of different brands have been awarded the ADA Seal of Acceptance. In addition, many private dental plans cover sealants. Is sealant application a complicated procedure? Sealants are easy for your dentist to apply, and it takes only a few minutes to seal each tooth. The teeth that will be sealed are cleaned. Then the chewing surfaces are conditioned to help the sealant adhere to the tooth. The sealant is then painted onto the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens. Sometimes a special curing light is used to help the sealant harden.

Bonding

Although, you may take good care of your teeth, sometimes this is just not enough. With the development of bonding comes a new movement, Cosmetic Dentistry. Not only is it possible to fill teeth, but we can change their color, size and shape. Eliminate unwanted spaces between your teeth, mask out unattractive spots and stains caused by medication.
