Tooth-Colored Restorations & Fillings
Sealants are used to protect healthy teeth that have a high potential for decay. Most often, these are the molars with deep grooves. A PRR, preventive resin restoration, is a type of filling that is placed when a cavity has begun and is infiltrating the grooves in the chewing surface of the tooth.
As dentists, we prefer to protect the enamel and structure of the tooth and avoid decay completely. Sealants and fluoride are two tools that give us a better chance at prevention.
Absolutely – a nice smile is a key part of looking and feeling your best. It even adds to your self-confidence and self-esteem. You see, excessively worn front teeth age a smile (some may even suspect you wear a denture!). They often chip and crack, leaving uneven edges. Worn teeth can be lengthened and chipped or damaged areas corrected using advanced dental materials.
