We recommend scheduling regular appointments every six months to ensure the early detection of cavities, gum disease, and other conditions that can impact your overall health.

What is preventative dental care?

+

Preventative dental care involves a series of steps designed to help prevent oral health issues from developing in the first place. At Deaton Dental Associates, our comprehensive program includes regular cleanings, exams, and education on proper oral hygiene techniques.

This approach not only helps maintain healthy teeth and gums but also saves patients time, money, and stress by reducing the need for costly treatments down the line.

What are dental implants?

+

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They are made of a biocompatible material, usually titanium, and serve as a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth.

The process of getting dental implants involves multiple steps, including consultation, surgery, healing period, and finally placing the crown or bridge. We welcome patients interested in learning more about this advanced solution for missing teeth.

What is sedation dentistry?

+

Sedation dentistry is a type of anxiety relief designed to help patients relax during dental procedures. At Deaton Dental Associates, we understand that some people may experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist, which is why we offer various sedation options to make your visit as comfortable as possible.

Our skilled dentists will work with you to determine the best approach for your individual needs and ensure a stress-free experience.

What services do pediatric patients receive?

+

We believe that oral health is essential for overall well-being, which is why we offer specialized pediatric dental care designed specifically for children. Our experienced dentists are trained to address the unique needs of young patients and provide a welcoming environment to help them feel at ease.

Our services include routine cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and education on proper oral hygiene techniques to set your child up for a lifetime of good oral health habits.

What is the purpose of a dental exam?

+

A comprehensive dental exam is an essential part of maintaining optimal oral health. During this examination, our experienced dentists will assess your teeth, gums, and overall mouth to identify any potential issues before they become more serious problems.

This includes a visual inspection for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other conditions that can impact your overall health.

What is the difference between a crown and a filling?

+

Crowns and fillings are both restorative dental treatments designed to repair damaged teeth. However, they serve different purposes and have distinct differences in terms of their composition and placement.

A filling is used to restore small to moderate-sized cavities by filling the tooth with a biocompatible material such as composite resin or amalgam. A crown, on the other hand, is used to cover the entire tooth surface and provide added strength and protection for teeth that have been damaged due to decay, trauma, or wear.
