Dentures
Report
Conventional: This full removable denture is made and placed in your mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed, which may take several months. Immediate: This removable denture is inserted on the same day that the remaining teeth are removed. Your dentist will take measurements and make models of your jaw during a preliminary visit.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Report
Wisdom teeth that haven't come in properly, which can make it difficult to floss between the wisdom teeth and the molars next to them. Wisdom teeth that have partially come through can give bacteria a place to enter the gums and create a place for infection to occur. This may also lead to pain, swelling and stiffness in your jaw.
White Fillings
Report
Dental amalgam is made from a combination of metals that include mercury, silver, tin, and copper. Sometimes described as "silver-colored" fillings, dental amalgam has been used by dentists for more than 100 years because it lasts a long time and is less expensive than other cavity-filling materials such as tooth-colored composites or gold fillings.
Oral Hygiene
Report
Not everyone's dental hygiene is the same. Some people need to visit the dentist in 4 month intervals, while 6 months is fine for others. Your dental care from Meridian Valley Dental Center is gentle and will match you with your individual hygiene needs.
Our dentist in Kent, Dr. John Beack helps patients understand the role of good hygiene by showing you before and after pictures of your own mouth, so you can visualize plaque and other harmful agents.These are controllable with your home care hygiene efforts, in which most patients increase their diligence after witnessing the need for it.
