Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Some of the specialty restorative procedures you may find yourself needing at some point include repairing a cracked tooth, root canal therapy, oral surgery, fixed bridges, bone grafting, root amputation and replacement, root planing, partial dentures, empress restorations, composite fillings, crowns and veneers, or dental implants. Dr. Cohil uses all the latest technology, including digital x-rays, to help in his patient’s quests for beautiful smiles. Your Apopka dental specialist also pays specialized attention to your oral health by performing oral cancer screenings and any accompanying treatment that you may need if alarming findings like oral cancer, periodontal disease or gum disease are found.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment
  Your Apopka dental specialist helps establish a good regimen of preventative dental care to keep issues like gum disease, tooth decay and the potential need for a future root canal at bay. Regular cleaning, flossing and polishing are critical. Other preventative measures include digital x-rays, screeningsfor periodontal disease, use of dental sealants, fluoride treatment, timely orthodontic treatment, monitoring of wisdom teeth, and even educational measures that are communicated to patients through dental videos.
• Dental Sealants
  A sealant is a flowable plastic that is applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth. The anatomy of back teeth consists of several depressions and grooves, which are very prone to trapping food debris and bacteria. The majority of tooth decay occurs in these hard-to-clean grooves.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Ultimately, it is the decision of the patient whether or not to replace fully intact silver fillings. However, Amalgam (mercury-silver) fillings have a tendency to corrode over time and either create a metallic taste and/or darken. They can leak and cause stains on your teeth or gums.  Therefore, many people find them less attractive than tooth-colored fillings. Also, the placement of an amalgam filling requires removal of some healthy tooth structure, because it depends on depth and size to keep this type of filling in place; it does not bond. Ultimately this results in weaker tooth structure, especially if this type of filling occupies 70% of the original tooth structure.  In a case like this, the dentist may recommend a full coverage crown for added strength and longevity.
• Resin Composite
  The composite fillings are a mixture of acrylic resin and glass particles that produce a tooth-colored restoration. This type of material may be self-hardening or may be hardened by exposure to blue light. Dental fillings are done to fill in the spaces made by the dentist, where the diseased tooth once existed.  Sometimes it is used to replace a portion of a broken or chipped tooth.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of teeth. In certain situations, they are an ideal choice for improving your smile and are quite popular due to their translucency and life-like aesthetics.
• Crowns
  Crowns are permanent dental restorations used for teeth that are either cracked, highly damaged, have a large pre-existing filling, or misaligned. A crown is custom made and fitted over a tooth, like a cap, to repair any or all of the dental conditions previously noted. A portion of tooth is removed, by the dentist in our Apopka office, to allow for the replacement of tooth structure with porcelain. The fabrication of a crown is an exact science. It is made to allow for a perfect seal and replicate an ideal tooth contour. This prevents the trapping and accumulation of bacteria, which could lead to decay or bone loss.
• Bridges
