We at Martin Dental in Queen Creek, AZ, offer affordable dental fillings to prevent further tooth decay and restore your oral health. During the early stages of decay, like demineralization and enamel breakdown, we help reverse the damage with our timely treatment.
Our fillings stop decay from reaching the dentin or pulp, helping you avoid pain and complex procedures.
We use advanced techniques at our clinic, including same-day crowns and sedation options, to ensure a comfortable experience. Our regular check-ups help identify issues early, reducing your long-term costs.
Tooth Decay Progression
Tooth decay progresses through several stages, each with distinct characteristics and treatment options.
We'll guide you through the process so you can recognize early signs and take action.
Here's what to look for:
-
Demineralization: White spots appear as enamel loses minerals because of acid from plaque.
-
Enamel Decay: Brownish discoloration forms as enamel breaks down further.
-
Dentin Decay: Sensitivity increases as decay reaches the softer dentin layer.
-
Pulp Damage: Pain and swelling occur when decay irritates the tooth's nerve.
Early stages are reversible with fluoride treatments and improved oral hygiene. As decay advances, fillings, crowns, or root canals may be needed.
We recommend regular check-ups to catch decay early and prevent complications.
Poor oral hygiene significantly increases your risk of developing both tooth decay and gum disease.
Same-Day Crown Restorations
Same-day crown restorations offer a convenient solution for repairing damaged teeth in just one visit. We guarantee your safety and comfort throughout the process, starting with local anesthetic to eliminate discomfort.
Here's what you expect:
-
Tooth Preparation: We remove decayed portions and slim down the tooth, preserving as much natural enamel as possible.
-
Digital Impressions: Using an intraoral camera, we capture 3D images to create a precise blueprint for your crown.
-
Crown Manufacturing: A milling unit crafts your ceramic crown in about an hour, matching it to your natural tooth color.
-
Placement: We bond the crown permanently, make final adjustments, and polish it for a seamless fit.
Dr. Brett Martin leads our experienced team in providing personalized attention for all dental procedures.
Advanced Sedation Dentistry Options
While same-day crowns restore your smile efficiently, we recognize that dental visits can still cause anxiety for many. At Martin Dental, we offer advanced sedation options to guarantee your comfort and safety.
Here's how we help you relax:
-
Nitrous Oxide: Breathe in through a mask for quick relaxation, and drive yourself home afterward.
-
Oral Sedation: Take a prescribed pill before your appointment for mild to moderate drowsiness.
-
IV Sedation: Receive sedatives directly into your bloodstream for deep relaxation during longer procedures.
-
General Anesthesia: Stay completely unconscious for significant surgeries, with no memory of the procedure.
Our sedation options are particularly effective for patients with sensitive teeth or severe gag reflexes.
