- Dental SealantsAlso known as fissure sealants, sealants are thin, protective plastic coating applied to the back teeth (mostly the molars and premolars) in the form of liquid. Sealants are primarily applied to teeth susceptible to decay and are used by dentists in Mesquite, Texas. The primary purpose is to protect the chewing surfaces of targeted teeth, and they quickly bond into the grooves and depressions of the teeth. The other goal is to serve as a layer of protective coating or shield over the enamel of each tooth.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeFinally, we apply composite resin to your teeth and shape and curve them until the dentist achieves the correct form and aesthetic appearance. This is followed by using a curing light to harden the tooth-colored material. The dentist then polishes your bonded teeth to blend in with the other teeth.

- Dental BondingIt takes about 30-60 minutes per tooth to transform your smile with dental bonding. The procedure starts with your dentist choosing a shade that matches your natural teeth.

- Root Canal TreatmentIn the past, if you had an infected tooth or one with a badly damaged nerve, there was no way to rescue it. Extraction was the only way to save you from pain and further infection. Today, with root canal therapy, you can save a tooth that would otherwise be lost. This preserves your teeth and prevents you from undergoing costly and time-consuming restorative treatments.
