Sealants & Fluoride
Sealants and fluoride treatments are essential components of our preventive care at Dr. Frances Ross Dental Clinic. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. This simple and painless procedure can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay, especially in children and teenagers.
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities. We offer professional fluoride applications during your routine dental visits. These treatments are quick and effective, providing added protection against decay. Our team will assess your risk of cavities and recommend sealants and fluoride treatments as needed to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
Space Maintainers
Space maintainers are crucial for children who have lost a primary tooth prematurely. At Dr. Frances Ross Dental Clinic, we provide custom-made space maintainers to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap left by the missing tooth. This helps ensure there is enough space for the permanent tooth to erupt properly, reducing the risk of orthodontic issues in the future.
Our space maintainers are comfortable and designed to fit your child’s mouth perfectly. We will monitor your child’s dental development and adjust the maintainer as needed. By maintaining proper spacing, we help promote healthy dental growth and development, ensuring your child’s smile remains aligned and functional.
Fillings & Dental Cavities
Fillings are a common treatment for dental cavities, which are caused by tooth decay. At Dr. Frances Ross Dental Clinic, we offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our dentists will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill it with a durable, aesthetically pleasing composite resin.
Getting a filling is a straightforward procedure that can usually be completed in one visit. We use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your filling is both functional and long-lasting. Our goal is to restore the health and integrity of your tooth while preserving its natural appearance. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene can help prevent cavities and maintain your dental health.
