Why Preventative Dental Care is So Important It’s estimated about 30 percent of dental patients nationwide have periodontal disease, also known as gum disease. However, among Dr. Venincasa’s patients, we find periodontal disease among only ten percent of patients. We work hard to help our patients keep current with their care. We take extra time to show our patients how to properly care for their teeth and gums. This personalized care enables us to individualize each patient’s preventive care, resulting in greater success preventing periodontal disease.

What are Dental Veneers? A veneer is a permanent thin shell applied to the front, outward-facing side of a tooth. Dental veneers have many uses, such as correcting issues with tooth discoloration, cracks, chips, gaps, and other undesirable  cosmetic problems.

A second advantage of white fillings is that they are more insulative than silver fillings.  As a result of this property, white fillings can be less sensitive to cold air, fluids, and foods. An obvious third advantage of white fillings is

A Modern Approach to Dentures Some patients complain of dentures that are falling out, too loose, never fit right, do not chew well, or that had never been comfortable.  We can do better because we care.

What are Dental Crowns? When a tooth is badly weakened by decay or other damage, a crown may be needed. A crown acts like a cap or cover to protect a tooth from further damage and breakage. Crowns may be tooth-colored, or made of gold, as shown here. Tooth-colored crowns look very natural, but they can crack or break like a natural tooth. Dr. Venincasa can determine the relative risk of having one of these tooth-colored crowns.
