No matter how old or young you are and whether or not you have good dental hygiene, you should be making regular dental appointments. If you live in Chesterfield, MI, you have a team of dentists and hygienists you can count on at Carlino & Paton, DDS PC. Learn how we can help you take care of your teeth.
Checkups, Cleanings, and Treatments
Your regular visit to a dentist will include X-rays, cleaning, and an examination. The cleaning will help clear plaque and tartar that you might not otherwise be able to take care of on your own, while the X‑rays and examination allow the dentist to find any developing problems so that they can be treated.
If your dentist does spot a problem, the treatment will depend on the severity of the issue. Cavities and chips in teeth will typically call for fillings or bonding, while severe decay or broken teeth will require root canals and crowns. Sometimes a problem is bad enough to require tooth extraction or oral surgery.
Replacements and Whitening
If you are missing permanent teeth, you will need replacements in the form of dentures, bridges, or dental implants. Many of these treatments also help correct cosmetic issues with your smile, along with the application of veneers and teeth whitening treatments.
