• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Dental patients in Tampa, FL, Odessa, and nearby areas may be wondering what a dental sealants specialist does and if they might require such services. Dental sealants are a type of plastic resin applied to the teeth of both children and adults to protect the teeth and guard against decay.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  For front teeth that are chipped or cracked, porcelain veneers offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of the teeth, providing a flawless appearance.
• Crowns
  If you need restorative work on your teeth, dental crowns and tooth bridges can help to strengthen your teeth and fill in gaps in your mouth. If you are in Tampa, Town n’ Country, or Odessa, you may be wondering if you need a dental crown or bridge.
• Bridges
  Your dentist will require you to come in for several visits to place a crown or bridge. The entire process usually takes a few weeks. They will have to prepare your teeth and take an impression to ensure a perfect fit. The impression is sent to a lab, which prepares the customized restoration. Once the procedure is complete, patients are advised on how to care for the restoration. A dental bridge may take a couple of weeks to fully settle.
• Dental Bonding
  For minor cracks and chips, dental bonding is a quick and effective solution. A tooth-colored resin is applied to the damaged area, shaped to restore the tooth’s appearance, and then hardened with a special light. This non-invasive procedure can usually be completed in just one visit.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  With this procedure your tooth can be saved if there is extensive decay/infection in and around the tooth. Some root canals may need to be referred to a specialists if there are certain complications present.

Periodontics
