What are some common general dentistry services available at Heritage Dental?
Dr. Skovron is proud to offer the following treatments for new and current patients at her progressive dental practice in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania:
- Dental Exams. Dental exams are important to identify any potential issues that may arise, even if you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort. During your appointment, Dr. Skovron performs a comprehensive exam of your teeth and gums, checking for cavities, gum disease, and other potential problems.
- Dental Cleanings. Regular cleanings effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of the teeth and gums to maintain strong oral health. These cleanings play a critical role in preventive care and should be taken seriously by all patients.
- Dental X-Rays. X-rays allow our team to see what is going on beneath the surface where we cannot see with our naked eyes, such as bone loss or areas of decay. They help identify issues that might need to be addressed early–before they have a chance to worsen.
- Dental Fillings. Dental fillings are best used to repair teeth damaged due to cavities, trauma, or wear and tear. We offer both tooth-colored composite resin fillings as they are the most attractive and are biocompatible with the human body.
- Dental Crowns and Bridges. Crowns and bridges are restorative treatments that restore the appearance of missing, damaged, or decayed teeth to maintain optimal oral health and function. These solutions involve placing a custom-made crown above the affected tooth/teeth to protect them from further damage or using a bridge to replace one or more teeth in a row within the dental arch. We use metal free dentistry.
