HEALTHY TEETH FOR A LIFETIME
Fillings/ Restorations
Dental fillings are one of the most common procedures performed at our Wellsford dental office. At some point, almost everyone will need a filling to restore the function of a tooth that has been damaged by disease or decay. If you are in looking for a dentist for fillings at affordable prices, you have come to the right place. We offer high quality and affordable pricing for our treatments.
Prevention is the easiest way to maintain perfect oral health, but cavities can and do develop. Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality dental care possible by combining time-tested treatments with updated techniques and materials. We strive to choose treatments that restore your teeth while increasing the odds of a lifetime of healthy use. We want you to be educated and informed about your choices. If you have questions about fillings and which type is the most suitable for your needs, please speak to our dentists and you will be correctly advised.
FILLINGS THAT ARE SAFE AND DURABLE
Thanks to technological advances, we now have several alternatives when it comes to the materials we use to fill cavities. Depending on your needs, your dentist will suggest the various options available.
We utilize an Early Caries/Decay Detection System using an Infrared laser called Diagnodent (German innovation). This advanced technology helps in early detection of decay even before there are any outward symptoms of a decay having originated within the tooth structure, and with earlier treatment you always have better outcomes. When the laser detects a possible cavity, you’ll hear beeping and be able to check the reading on the display. Once again, in addition to its invaluable ability to detect caries at a very early stage and enable us to plan an effective treatment strategy, it also involves you in the process. This enables us to provide the most conservative approach possible in developing your treatment plan.
