Tooth-Colored Fillings

Say goodbye to silver-toothed smiles! Routine fillings can now be applied in a way that produces extremely natural-looking results. Modern composite fillings use glass or quartz filler instead of alloy, which allows Dr. Petrilli to fill cavities with a tooth-colored resin. Not only do our tooth-colored fillings look great, they are also durable and resistant to fracture, making for a happier smile and a healthier bite!

Amalgam Filling Removal

Traditional silver fillings, also known as amalgam or mercury fillings, have been used to treat tooth decay for more than a hundred years. Modern advances in technology, however, have rendered silver fillings out of date. These types of fillings can cause teeth to crack and split after long periods of time. Dr. Petrilli can safely remove mercury fillings and replace them with natural-looking tooth-colored fillings. If you have old, metal fillings, we invite you to join the dental community in saying goodbye to the silver-toothed smile!

Periodontal Therapy

Taking care of your gums is just as important as taking care of your teeth. Gum disease can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and sometimes tooth extraction. Moreover, studies show that gum disease may be linked to heart attack, diabetes, stroke, problem pregnancies, and a host of other life-threatening ailments. Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is generally caused by bacteria in plaque that infects the soft tissue of the gums. However, through early detection and regular professional teeth cleanings, Dr. Petrilli can dramatically reduce the effects of periodontal disease. With antibiotics and good oral hygiene, the fight against gum disease can be fought and won.
