Dental Crowns

Will You Need a Crown?
West Palm Beach Dental Crowns
Crowns can often be a part of your dental treatment. A tooth can be broken down over time by decay or just general wear. When the tooth is too damaged for a filling, we will place a crown over it in order to save it and, in fact, strengthen it. We use only the highest quality materials, like porcelain, to construct your crown. A crown will often last 20 years or even longer. It will look so natural that you won’t be able to distinguish it from a natural tooth.

White Dental Fillings - Tooth Colored Fillings

No Mercury! No Metals! No Kidding!
White Dental Fillings West Palm Beach
 

For years, the silver-mercury amalgam was the standard filling material used in dental practices, and many practices still use it. While they are a reasonable restoration, amalgams have certain shortcomings. Metal does not bond well to teeth, so decay can and does eventually leak into the tooth. But the biggest reason many of our patients are choosing the porcelain inlays has to do with the way they look. Many people just don’t want an ugly black plug in their teeth. We offer modern restorations that are a natural-looking white, contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth. They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of the tooth so there is much less chance of decay in the future.

Dental Hygiene

What is Wellness Dentistry?
Preventive Dentistry West Palm Beach FL
Let's say you become ill and decide to go to your doctor for care. And let's say that you are treated and you recover. That's just great! But what if you went to your doctor when you were NOT ill and you learned how NOT to get sick? That would be even better! That's what we call "Wellness Care." And that's just what we do in our practice. We can certainly get your teeth and gums healthy and repair any damage just like any dental office can. But we go a step further and show you how to avoid dental problems before they become problems. We start with a very thorough examination. Most of our patients say they've never had such an extensive examination of their gums or teeth. We examine your bite and how your teeth come together. We look for oral cancer, gum disease, signs of wear on the teeth, and, in short, any problem that you might encounter at a later date. We want to head off any problems and make your teeth and gums healthier so you will be spending less time in the dental chair!

A Healthy Smile, A Healthy Body
Dental Health Care West Palm Beach
We know that your oral health is not only about looking your best. It's about maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Did you know that the cause of most tooth loss is not decay? It's gum disease. And recent studies have established a link between gum disease and your overall health. The good news is that gum disease can be treated successfully, often without surgery. We want all of our patients to have outstanding oral health. Our commitment to you includes paying meticulous attention to all of your needs so you look your best and have optimum health.
