In our clinic, we provide our patients with the current concepts of restorative, preventative and cosmetic dentistry. The treatment performed provides health, function and aesthetics to both the individual teeth and the dentition as a whole.

Plaque is a sticky, almost colorless layer of bacteria that forms on your teeth that mixes with the sugars in food to produce decay-causing acids. When decay creates a cavity, the dentist usually fills it with a durable material, most often composite (a tooth-colored material), a metal alloy called amalgam or gold. A filling can last from five years to a lifetime, depending on its location, the material used and the care you give your teeth. Gold has the longest lifespan, followed by amalgam and then composite.
