Routine Cleanings
Report
Dental cleanings are extremely important in preventing gum disease. When plaque and tarter are not properly removed, they cause inflammation and bleeding. This is the first stage of gum disease, also known as gingivitis. Gingivitis can be reversed, but if nothing is done about the plaque and tarter, they will continue to cause trouble.
Dental Crowns
Report
There are multiple reasons that a dentist would recommend a crown for your tooth. When a very large filling falls out or breaks, there may not be enough of your natural tooth left to hold a new filling.
When a filling is bigger than the tooth, two things could happen: the filling may quickly fall out because there is not enough tooth to bond to, or the small remaining bit of natural tooth will break from the strain of holding the large filling in.Cracked tooth syndrome is also a situation that requires fairly immediate action, generally in the form of dental crowns.

Teeth Whitening
Report
Over time, pigmented food and drink like tomato sauce, red wine, coffee and tea can stain and darken teeth. Thinning enamel also darkens the appearance of teeth because the inner, yellow layer shows through more. Some people also have naturally more yellow teeth. Professional whitening can help brighten teeth in most of these situations.
