- Dental ExaminationFluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has been scientifically proven to protect and strengthen your tooth enamel. While especially important in children, our team at Riverside Dental is pleased to offer fluoride to patients of all ages. We generally utilize fluoride during your routine dental cleaning and exam, and we have additional fluoride supplementation for patients who are especially susceptible to decay or disease. The most common way to use fluoride is through topical application, meaning it is applied directly to your teeth, whether through toothpastes, mouthwashes, gels or varnishes. Fluoride in pill form, known as systemic fluoride, is also available.

- Dental SealantsAt Riverside Dental, preventing decay is just as important to our dental team as treating it. One of our most powerful preventive treatments is also one of our most simple: sealants. Sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the back teeth. Made of plastic, sealants look natural and act as a barrier to tooth decay and the bacteria that cause it.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeTooth-colored dental fillings are also known as composite or white fillings. This is because they are made from a durable plastic, composite resin, which can be matched to the exact color of your tooth. Tooth-colored fillings offer many advantages when compared to other dental fillings. This type of filling not only looks natural, but also bonds to your tooth structure. This provides extra strength and durability and helps to prevent leaks and cracks in the tooth.
- VeneersVeneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells made of porcelain that are bonded directly to the front of your teeth, effectively becoming one of our most versatile treatments at Riverside Dental. Our dentists can use veneers to make a simple change to a tooth or transform your entire smile. Each veneer designed by our dentists will fit properly, look beautiful and feel natural. It generally takes two visits to our dental office to create your veneers.
