Diagnostic

• Dental Examination

• Fluoride Treatment
  Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that builds strong enamel and helps prevent cavities. During a professional fluoride treatment, we use a highly concentrated rinse to enhance the outer protective layer of your teeth. This process is non-invasive and painless and can help patients of all ages avoid cavities.
• Dental Sealants
  Maintaining good oral health is crucial for a beautiful smile and overall well-being. One essential preventive measure in dentistry is the application of dental sealants. Sealants act as a shield against tooth decay by sealing off the deep grooves and pits where bacteria and food particles tend to accumulate, preventing cavities from forming.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Composite Fillings: Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are made of a mixture of plastic and glass particles. They’re tooth-colored and blend in with the natural teeth, making them a popular choice for visible areas of the mouth. Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing good support. A composite filling is less durable than amalgam fillings and may need to be replaced over time.
• Resin Composite
  Our Kennett Square dentist will start the dental filling process by numbing the area around the tooth to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure. Next, we’ll use a dental drill or laser to remove the decayed portion of the tooth, leaving a clean and prepared area. Once the decay is removed, Dr. Peter Patellis will carefully shape the cavity to create space for the filling material. The chosen filling material, such as composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain, is then placed into the prepared cavity and shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth. The filling is hardened using a curing light.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are thin, transparent shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They’re made from a type of dental porcelain that’s durable, stain-resistant, and has a similar translucency to natural teeth. Veneers are often considered a permanent treatment, as a small amount of enamel has to be removed from your teeth before placing them.
• Crowns
  Dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth, helping countless patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles. Crowns can be made from various materials and are custom-made to fit each patient’s unique needs.
