THE CARE BEHIND A HEALTHY SMILE

General Dentistry

I took my children for their very first dental appointments and was thrilled with my experience. The staff was friendly and took their time with my children. My kid’s first experience was a delight and we can’t wait to go back!

DENTAL EMERGENCIES

If you experience a dental emergency, be sure to call our practice as soon as possible. If you need immediate attention after hours, call our emergency phone number and our on-call staff member will help you. If you are unable to reach our office during an emergency, dial 911.

ROUTINE DENTAL CARE

Routine dental exams are important to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Additionally, they can help to avoid the financial costs associated with problems that may persist or worsen over time resulting in larger and more expensive problems later on. The Academy of General Dentistry recommends twice yearly checkups for people of all ages. At this frequency, most problems can be caught while they remain in an early stage.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

A child’s first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable. Children are not born with a natural fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. Our office makes a special effort to use pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe each treatment. We want you and your child to feel at ease from the moment your family arrives at our office. The more you and your child know about the first visit, the better you will feel.

FILLINGS + TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

Our dentists offer dental fillings to treat cavities. Dental fillings can also be also used to repair cracked or broken teeth. Ask a team member about tooth-colored fillings that make your mouth look more natural and attractive.

Your teeth and gums were designed to last a lifetime — and they can with proper care. A lifetime of good dental health requires daily care of teeth and gums along with regular dental check-ups.

GUM DISEASE

Dental Sealants

The chewing surfaces of the back teeth can have tiny grooves, known as fissures. Tooth decay can easily start in fissures where food can get stuck and where it is hard to clean. The grooves are so small that toothbrush bristles can’t get into them to clean away food and bacteria.

Sealants are thin plastic coatings that cover the grooves on the chewing surface of back teeth. They help to prevent tooth decay by creating a smooth, easier to clean surface. Sealants were developed in the 1960s and have been widely used since then.

Treatment Of Cracked Teeth

Melissa Dental & Orthodontics Office provides endodontic treatments for cracked teeth. Cracked and fractured teeth are a common dental problem and can occur for a variety of reasons. For more information on cracked teeth in Melissa, TX, and to schedule your appointment with one of our dentists, please call our office today at (469) 919 5605.

Cracked and fractured teeth are common dental problems. Cracked teeth can occur as a result of trauma, grinding and clenching of teeth (bruxism), and biting on hard objects, among other things.
