Air-Abrasion Technology

At Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A., our doctors utilize the latest advances in dental technology, such as air abrasion. Air abrasion allows our doctors to prepare teeth for composite fillings and bonding procedures. It also works best to repair chipped or fractured teeth and to remove stains and spots caused by discoloration. Additionally, air abrasion is a drill-less technique, which is beneficial to patients because there is little to no pain associated with this technique.

Patients don’t need to fear the dental drill with air abrasion technology. This is because the air abrasion technique uses a stream of particles that are aimed at the stained or decayed portion of the tooth. During air abrasion, our doctor will use an instrument that works like a mini sandblaster to wash away small areas of tooth decay. The procedure is safe and generates no heat, pressure, or vibration, so there is less discomfort for the patient.

If you have questions or concerns regarding air abrasion, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.bridgesmilesdental.com for more information.

Cosmetic White Fillings

If you have tooth decay that has caused a cavity (hole) in your tooth, then you are likely to benefit from a cosmetic filling. However, decay is not the only reason you may need a filling. Other reasons include: cracked or broken teeth, teeth that are worn from habits such as nail-biting, as well as tooth grinding. When you schedule a professional dental cleaning with one of our doctors at Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A., he or she will check for these problems, and decide whether a filling is right for you.

The type of fillings we provide at the office is called composite resin, or tooth-colored (white) filling. This type of filling provides good durability and resistance to fracture in small-to-mid-size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. They can be used on both the front or back teeth and supply the patient with a more natural looking appearance.

If you think you may benefit from white fillings, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.bridgesmilesdental.com for more information.
