Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Here we examine all of the hard and soft tissues for caries (cavities), periodontal (gum) disease, and early signs of oral cancer.With digital x-rays, patients receive up to 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays. Other benefits include superior image quality with zoom capability which greatly enhances diagnosis. Also, Images are shown instantly on a computer monitor which eliminates the time needed to develop and process x-rays. Below is a description of some other techniques we use to aid us in detecting disease early.
• X-rays

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants

Restorative

• Fillings
  At Donato Dental, we use CEREC to restore decayed teeth, replace or place crowns, remove defective amalgam fillings, or place cosmetic veneers, all in just one appointment.
• Resin Composite
  Bonding is tooth-colored material used to fill in gaps or change the color of teeth. Requiring a single office visit, bonding lasts several years. Bonding is more susceptible to staining or chipping than other forms of restoration. When teeth are chipped or slightly decayed, bonded composite resins may be the material of choice. Bonding also is used as a tooth-colored filling for small cavities. Additionally, it can be used to close spaces between teeth or cover the entire outside surface of a tooth to change its color and shape.
• Veneers
  Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic placed over the front teeth to change the color or shape of your teeth. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Little or no anesthesia is needed. Veneers are used to treat some of the same problems as bonding.
• Crowns
  Crowns, also known as caps, cover a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and appearance. Due to their cost, they are used in cases where other procedures will not be effective. Crowns have the longest life expectancy of all cosmetic restorations, but are the most time-consuming.
• Bridges
  Crowns and bridges are usually completed in two appointments. After your tooth is prepared, a temporary crown is placed on the tooth for protection. In rare instances the temporary may come off prior to the final cementation appointment. Call our office if your temporary becomes loose or is lost.
