Professional Dental Cleanings:
Regular dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease if left untreated. Our skilled dental hygienists provide thorough, gentle cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy. During your cleaning appointment, we will:
1. Remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gum line
2. Polish your teeth to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel
3. Floss between your teeth to remove any remaining debris
4. Apply fluoride treatments to strengthen your enamel and prevent decay
We recommend that most patients visit us for a professional cleaning every six months. However, some individuals may require more frequent cleanings due to factors such as genetics, medical conditions, or certain medications. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized maintenance plan that meets your unique needs.
Dental Fillings:
Despite our best efforts to maintain good oral hygiene, cavities can still occur. When decay develops, dental fillings are necessary to remove the damaged portion of the tooth and restore its strength and function. At Dental Defenders of Dallas, we offer a range of filling options to suit your needs and preferences:
1.
Composite (tooth-colored) fillings:
These fillings are made from a durable, cosmetic resin that can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless, aesthetically pleasing restoration.
2.
Amalgam (silver) fillings:
Known for their strength and affordability, amalgam fillings are a reliable choice for filling cavities in back teeth that endure more pressure during chewing.
Our dentists use the latest techniques and materials to ensure that your fillings are placed with precision and comfort. We prioritize minimally invasive dentistry, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while effectively treating decay.
In addition to fillings and cleanings, Dental Defenders of Dallas offers a range of preventive services to help you maintain optimal oral health, including:
•Oral exams and digital x-rays
•Dental sealants
•Fluoride treatments
•Oral cancer screenings
•Customized oral hygiene instructions
Our team is committed to providing patient-centered care in a welcoming, superhero-themed environment. We take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and educate you on the best practices for maintaining a healthy smile.
