Exams & Cleanings
Even if you maintain good oral hygiene in your daily routine, regular in-office exams are necessary for preventing disease and mitigating problems early. Comprehensive oral exams will help prevent problems, before they become emergencies.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a preventive, non-invasive dental procedure that helps to prevent cavities in Arlington Heights, IL. The sealant is a tough plastic material that is designed to bond with the tooth’s enamel and forms a shield against decay. Arlington Dental Associates offers tooth-colored dental sealants in Arlington Heights, IL, so they are barely visible.
Fluoride Treatments
When used appropriately, fluoride is both safe and effective in preventing and controlling dental cavities in Arlington Heights, IL. Fluoride is a mineral that is found naturally in water and many foods. Fluoride helps the tooth’s outer surface, the enamel, to stay strong and to fight against the acids that cause cavities and tooth decay.
Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings
Composite fillings are used to repair cavities or fractured teeth. One advantage of composite fillings over metal fillings is that composite fillings can be matched to the color of your natural teeth and are virtually indistinguishable. This makes them good filling options for highly visible teeth. Additionally, composite fillings require less tooth structure removal than alternative fillings.
