White Dental Fillings

No Mercury or Metal Fillings White Dental Fillings Watertown SD
Many patients are familiar with the amalgam fillings made of silver-mercury. They have been used for many years in dental practices, and some practices still use them. They have some shortcomings, as metal does not bond tightly to the surface of a tooth. This allows decay to eventually set in under the filling. Patients do not like the appearance of a dark filling in light teeth, as it is very noticeable and not attractive.

We do not use fillings with any metal in them. Ours are made of composite resin that bonds well and actually adds strength to teeth. As it adheres tightly to the tooth, there is little chance of decay setting in under or around the filling. They are made to match the shade of the tooth and are nearly invisible to enhance, not detract from your smile.

Veneers
Veneers are thin shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. Unlike bonding, it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth to accommodate the shell. Based on a model of your mouth, they are meant to look like your natural teeth.

General Dentistry

Teeth Cleaning Dentist Watertown SDProfessional Cleanings Contribute to Your Good Health
We recommend having your teeth cleaned at regular intervals to maintain overall health. Regular brushing may remove most plaque, but sometimes hard-to-reach areas are missed, allowing plaque to build up and harden into tartar. Regular brushing or flossing will not remove it, and if tartar accumulates in pockets in the gums, you take a chance of developing periodontal (gum) disease. Medical research has made a connection between serious health problems of stroke, diabetes, and heart conditions with untreated gum infections. Please take our advice seriously for good health.

Wine Tasters, Beware

Wine tasters may be at high risk for enamel stain and erosion.

Why? Sipping wine many times a day -- and swishing it in the mouth -- increases the enamel's exposure to damaging acids.

That is why it's better to drink a glass of wine, soda, or sweet tea with a meal instead of sipping it over several hours.
