KEEPING YOUR TEETH STRONG AND HEALTHY
Fillings
Fillings are not just about addressing cavities. They're a testament to modern dentistry's commitment to preserving natural teeth as long as possible. Whether it's halting the advance of decay or mending a minor cosmetic flaw, a filling is a dental mainstay.
Amalgam:
Known for its durability, amalgam offers a lasting solution especially for molars that bear the brunt of biting pressure. With its distinctive silver appearance, it’s a time-tested choice for cavity correction.
Composite Resin:
When aesthetics matter just as much as function, composite resin steps in. Perfectly matched to the shade of your tooth, it offers a natural finish while restoring the tooth’s integrity.
SAVING YOUR NATURAL TOOTH
Root Canals
Root canals are often misunderstood. Far from being a cause of pain, they're a remedy. When decay or damage reaches the tooth's pulp, a root canal cleans out the infection and saves the tooth from extraction.
EXPERT CARE FOR WHEN PRESERVATION ISN'T POSSIBLE
Extractions
While our first line of action is always to save a tooth, there are times when extraction is the best course of action. From severe decay to advanced periodontal disease, we ensure the procedure is smooth and as pain-free as possible, setting the stage for a suitable dental prosthetic if needed.
CARING FOR ALL AGES
Family Dentistry
Family dentistry at Van Alstyne Dental is about understanding the unique dental challenges faced at different life stages. Whether it's a child's first dental check-up, a teenager's orthodontic consultation, or a grandparent's need for a dental implant, we're equipped and eager to cater to every family member's needs.
Cleaning and Prevention:
At Van Alstyne Dental, we firmly believe in the power of preventive care to ensure lasting dental health. We encourage our patients to commit to biannual cleanings and examinations, not only to detect dental issues early on but also to maintain optimal gum health and achieve a brighter, whiter smile.
Our professional cleaning service meticulously removes tough plaque that can’t be tackled by brushing and flossing alone. This service is complemented by a fluoride treatment and a gentle polish, which together fortify and rejuvenate your teeth and gums. Remember, it’s never too late for a dental cleaning – even if your last one was more than two years ago.
Proactive Steps for Maintaining Oral Health:
- Brush twice daily using fluoride toothpaste for comprehensive protection.
- Opt for a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently clean after meals to keep plaque at bay.
- Make flossing a nightly ritual to remove food particles and reduce plaque.
- Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash post-flossing for an extra layer of cleanliness.
- Limit intake of sugary treats, caffeinated beverages, and avoid tobacco for a healthier mouth.
By integrating these habits into your daily routine, you’re not just preventing dental problems, you’re investing in the long-term health of your smile.
