A dental sealant is a thin film that is placed over teeth to shield them from debris and decay. They are an inexpensive way to protect against cavities, since they cover hard-to-brush groves in the teeth where food pieces or bacteria would otherwise get trapped. They can be applied in a single visit, and provide protection for several years, saving your smile from tooth-eating bacteria and costly fillings.
At Chi Family Dental, we understand that the aesthetic appearance of your mouth can be affected by the discoloration that silver fillings bring. That’s why we provide porcelain white fillings that match the natural white color of your teeth. The filling will be indistinguishable from your natural, healthy teeth, so only your dentist will know that you have had a cavity.
One of the most important tools a dentist has are dental x-rays. These allow for the early diagnosis of potential threats to your oral health, stopping small problems before they become big conditions. Our state-of-the-art imaging technology allow us to take the highest quality photos possible, revealing the smallest traces of decay, bone loss, or problems inside or around the tooth, all to ensure you receive the most comprehensive dental treatment you need.
While regular check-ups and treatment are important for your oral health, the best advice we can give is to practice good oral hygiene every day, wherever you are. Let us show you how. Through honest and open discussion with your Missouri City dentist, we will help you come up with an oral hygiene routine that fits your schedule, with tips that range from which kind of toothpaste you should use to how to properly and thoroughly floss.
We want our youngest patients to feel safe and respected during their visit to our office. We perform gentle cleanings and make sure that your child’s teeth are forming and emerging correctly, and can recommend orthodontic treatments when necessary. Furthermore, we keep your child informed of what to expect through each step of his or her visit, to alleviate the anxiety sometimes associated with seeing a dentist.
We believe that a healthy mouth sets the tone for a healthy body, which is why at Chi Family Dental, we emphasize the importance of regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Beyond what regular brushing and flossing can accomplish, we remove any built-up plaque and strengthen your teeth’s defense against decay, followed by a thorough oral examination. We also strive to include your input during the process, so we can address any specific concerns you may have.
