filling, or is severely damaged by decay, your
dentist may recommend the placement of a crown.

structure and can improve the appearance of your
smile.

- Restorative Care
- Dental Implants
- The consequences of tooth loss can be prevented
by replacing the lost tooth in a timely manner.
Although there are several options to replace a
missing tooth the number one choice for replacing
lost teeth are dental implants. - Implants are tiny titanium screws or posts that
are surgically placed in the bone. Once
integrated into bone they act like roots onto
which small posts are attached which protrude
through the gums.

- Restorative Care
- Dentures
- Over time, peoples teeth tend to naturally
deteriorate. When a tooth has deteriorated
substantially, it often needs to be extracted
and when multiple teeth are extracted, dentures
may be the most appropriate solution. Dentures
can create a natural and healthy looking set of
teeth. In addition, a properly fitting set of
dentures can greatly enhance your smile and sense
of self-esteem.

- Periodontal Care
- For Americans in their 30s and beyond, the threat
of gum disease (periodontal disease) is a very
real and potentially dangerous condition. - Gum disease is particularly dangerous because the
progression of the disease is often painless,
going undetected until it creates serious
problems.Although genetics may play a small role
in its development, doctors agree that gum
disease is most often directly related to how
well people care for their teeth and gums.

- Preventive Care
- Preventive dentistry is the general term for
dental care-related procedures or treatments that
are meant to prevent oral health problems from
rearing their ugly heads. A great example of a
preventive dentistry procedure is sealants. A
sealant is a layer of a protective, long-lasting
special plastic. - Dental Sealants
- Sealants protect the occlusal surfaces,
inhibiting bacterial growth and providing a
smooth surface that increases the probability
that the surface will stay clean. The ultimate
goal of sealants is penetrating into the pit and
fissures of the tooth and sealing them from
bacteria.

- Preventive Care
- Space Maintainers
- Space maintainers are appliances made to custom
fit your childs mouth to maintain the space
intended for the permanent tooth when it decides
to come in. - They do this by holding open the empty space
left by a lost tooth by preventing movement in
the remaining teeth until the permanent tooth
takes its natural position in the childs mouth.

- Preventive Care
- Fluoride Treatments
- The fluoride ion comes from the element fluorine.
Fluoride, either applied topically to erupted
teeth, or ingested orally (called systemic
fluoride) during tooth development, helps to
prevent tooth decay, strengthen tooth enamel, and
reduce the harmful effects of plaque.

- Dental Care for Infants
- Most pediatric dentists will agree that regular
dental care should begin by one year of age, with
a dental check-up at least twice each consecutive
year for most children. Some children may need
more frequent evaluations and care. - In accordance with this recommendation, the
following dental checklist for infants and
toddlers has been provided by the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
16KeyWest Dental Assoc.www.keywestdentist.net
- Dentistry for Anxious Patients
- Through the modern miracle of sedation dentistry,
dentists can treat anxious patients and often
accomplish dental work in one or two visits that
may have required many more visits without it. - Nitrous oxide and intravenous (I.V.) sedation are
the two conscious sedation techniques most
commonly used to help patients relax.
