Preventive Dentistry<\/h2>\n

Whether a patient is five or 95, a dental checkup is always important. At these twice-yearly appointments, the family dentist in Norwood provides a thorough cleaning and examination of your teeth and gums. The cleaning will leave your mouth feeling refreshed and revived. And the examination helps you avoid problems such as cavities and gum disease.

A tooth-colored filling seamlessly repairs the cavity and blends in completely with the natural color of your tooth.<\/p>\n

For a tooth in need of more serious repair, we offer dental crowns. These are made of fine dental porcelain and are formed to fit snuggly over a tooth that is severely decayed or otherwise damaged. Your Norwood family dentist will gently remove a small portion of the tooth\u2019s natural structure in order to make room for the crown to fit comfortably.<\/p>\n
