Tooth-Colored Fillings
Years ago, cavities and tooth decay were often treated with metal fillings. These fillings carried a degree of risk to them because mercury was a part of their composition, not to mention the fact that they weren’t very aesthetically pleasing. Dr. Jeffery Hadley offers safer, more natural-looking tooth-colored fillings. Made of a composite resin that is designed to look like natural teeth, tooth-colored fillings are known for their ability to strengthen the teeth and last for years, ultimately making the teeth more resistant to fractures. Plus, with tooth-colored fillings, more of the existing tooth can be saved because of the way the filling material bonds to it. Tooth-colored fillings are now the standard in dentistry, and can even be used to replace an old metal filling.
Oral Exams
A regular check-up with the dentist involves an oral exam to look at the health of your teeth and gums and try to detect any problems. Dental conditions caught early in an oral exam can often be treated before the problem turns from a minor issue to a major one. Dr. Hadley recommends at least two oral exams per year to maintain your dental health.
Teeth Cleanings
Professional teeth cleanings are very important to maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. Ideally, you should have a teeth cleaning at least twice a year to prevent future problems from occurring. Dr. Jeffery Hadley uses the latest techniques for teeth cleaning treatments, and we aim to make the procedure go as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Periodontal (Gum) Care
Periodontal care (gum treatment) can be vital for the protection of not only your teeth and gums, but also for your overall health. Gum disease, such as gingivitis, can lead to severe dental problems and tooth loss – and even to serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and others. Although there is no cure for gum disease, periodontal treatment can significantly reduce its effects and help stave off future problems down the road. Dr. Jeffery Hadley can give you a thorough periodontal exam and come with a treatment plan to keep gum disease from causing further damage.
