A Cosmetic Dentist Who No Longer Fills Teeth He Restores Them!
It's clear to us through our own research (as well as national studies) that most of us want whiter teeth. A whiter smile will make you proud and confident, feeling much better about yourself. Today it's easy, predictable*, and affordable to whiten your teeth.
We have researched the safest and easiest to use materials on the market. We only use and recommend those that are fully supervised by our trained professionals, and strongly discourage unsupervised "TV or mail order" types for your well being. Ask any of our staff members how you can whiten your teeth.
Even the most subtle change in your smile can make a difference in the way you look and feel. When you feel and look good, you project a confident self-image. So make the most of your smile. Ask Dr. Rodo what veneers can do for you.
Veneers are custom made shells specially prepared and bonded directly to the teeth naturally improving your smile. The materials used to make veneers include composite resins, and porcelain. The ultimate criteria in selecting these materials include durability, stain resistance, and a natural appearance.
1. Composite restorations (tooth colored "fillings") actually make your teeth stronger by adhering (bonding) to the tooth structure that is left.
2. This adherence factor "seals" the seam between tooth and composite, helping to prevent new decay from starting.
3. Composite restorations wear better than old black silver fillings. They have been researched extensively. Dr. Rodo uses only the best from top manufacturers.
4. The composite material will help in reducing sensitivity; silver does not.
5. Composite bonded restorations can be easily added to; silver fillings can not.
6. These restorations may release fluoride, protecting the tooth from future decay.
7. Composite restorations make your teeth look natural...this certainly can not be said about "silver-mercury fillings".
8. In the event that decay causes damage to the tooth's nerve, adhesive composite bonded restorations can repair the nerve thus helping to prevent root canals.
Remember that a composite restoration is NO ordinary "filling". They require a higher level of technical proficiency.
Dr. Rodo attended hundreds of hours of continuing education seminars under some of the best clinicians around the country to master these techniques and continues to do so.
We hope you now understand the reasons Dr. Rodo no longer "fills" teeth...he restores them naturally.
