Politelli Family Dental

Bridges

A bridge is used to replace missing teeth with a fixed, permanent restoration. Crowns are placed on the teeth adjacent to the missing space, and an artificial tooth “bridges” the space, providing a natural appearance

Composite Fillings

Dental fillings are made from silver amalgam or composite. They are placed into a prepared cavity in a single visit.

Crowns

A crown is a restoration used to strengthen a tooth and improve its shape and contours. Most often, crowns are used for teeth that are fractured, decayed, worn, or have been previously treated with a root canal.

Dentures

Dentures are used to replace missing teeth. They can replace all the teeth on an arch (complete denture), some of the teeth (partial denture) or only 1-2 teeth on the same side (unilateral partial denture).

Extractions

When a tooth can no longer be restored or has become fully compromised, extraction is necessary. When a tooth needs to be removed, your dentist may extract the tooth during a regular checkup or may schedule another visit for this procedure.

Family Dentistry

Restorative fillings include the newest white fillings for the back teeth to replace old silver fillings.

Nitrous Oxide

Inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose, nitrous oxide is mixed with oxygen to help you relax. Nitrous oxide is not intended to put you to sleep. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions the dentist may have. This is called “conscious sedation.”

Pediatrics

Fillings, extractions, space maintenance, sealants, fluoride treatments, and pulpotomies (similar to root canals on baby teeth) are all procedures that can be performed by a general dentist.

Periodontal Treatment

Early periodontal (or gum disease) can be treated with scaling and cleaning at three or four month intervals. Periodontal condition is determined at the initial visit and maintained or improved at future appointments.

Root Canals

If a tooth becomes cracked or extensively decayed, bacteria can enter the pulp tissue and germs can cause an infection or severe inflammation inside the tooth. While they have a bad reputation, root canals are now painless with effective anesthetics.

Veneers

Veneers can be used to correct your teeth’s imperfections to help you have a more confident, beautiful smile. Veneers appear natural and are an excellent option for making minor adjustments to the look and feel of a patient’s smile.
