Sealants, Splints, Fillings & Teeth Whitening
Sealants: Sealants are generally applied to children’s teeth after the permanent teeth have erupted to prevent tooth decay. Sealants are a white plastic resin that is applied to the top surface of the tooth and bonds into the groove. When a tooth is sealed, the grooves become smooth and less likely to harbor bacteria and plaque.
Bite splints (for TMJ): TMJ/TMD can be a variety of conditions that affect jaw muscles and can cause facial pain and headaches. We offer custom-made bite splints to reduce pain and treat TMJ/TMD.
