Professional Teeth Cleanings: The Foundation of Oral Health

Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are a common, effective solution for repairing teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor fractures. At Aventura Dental & Orthodontics, we use advanced, tooth-colored composite resin to create seamless, natural-looking fillings that blend in with your surrounding teeth.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

1. Aesthetics: Composite fillings can be carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a discreet, attractive result.
2. Durability: With proper care and maintenance, composite fillings can last for many years, providing a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth.
3. Conserving Tooth Structure: Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional amalgam fillings, helping to maintain the strength and integrity of your teeth.
4. Versatility: Composite resin can be used to address a wide range of dental issues, from small cavities to minor chips and cracks.

Our Dental Filling Process

1. Preparation: Our team will gently remove any decayed or damaged tissue from your tooth and clean the area to ensure a strong, secure bond with the filling material.
2. Filling Placement: We will carefully apply the tooth-colored composite resin to your tooth, shaping and sculpting it to restore the tooth's natural shape and function.
3. Curing and Polishing: A special light is used to harden the composite material, after which we will polish the filling to ensure a smooth, seamless finish.
4. Adjustments: We will check your bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your filling fits comfortably and functions properly.

Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings are a crucial component of preventive care, helping to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. At Aventura Dental & Orthodontics, we recommend that most patients receive professional cleanings every six months to maintain optimal oral health.

Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings

1. Preventing Cavities and Gum Disease: By removing harmful buildup from your teeth and gums, cleanings help prevent the development of cavities and periodontal issues.
2. Freshening Your Breath: Professional cleanings can help eliminate the bacteria and debris that cause persistent bad breath, leaving you with a fresher, more confident smile.
3. Enhancing Your Smile's Appearance: Cleanings can remove surface stains and discoloration, resulting in a brighter, more attractive smile.
4. Detecting Dental Issues Early: During your cleaning appointment, our team will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and oral tissues for signs of potential problems, allowing for early intervention and more conservative treatment.
