Dental health is a clear indicator of a person’s overall health. The dental professionals at the Evercare Dental Group provides a full complement of preventative, cosmetic and restorative services and have the expertise to help identify a variety of diseases and conditions in their early stages.

There’s a scientifically proven link between oral hygiene and conditions ranging from diabetes to heart disease. Inflammation and infections accompany tooth decay. Bacteria from bad teeth can enter the blood stream causing problems wherever it lodges. Maintaining dental health by utilizing preventative measures and having problems tended to quickly allows individuals to avoid a variety of diseases.

Patients have access to the latest preventative technology and techniques to keep teeth healthy. Clients learn proper brushing methods and the most effective dental products to use for specific needs. Regular cleanings and exams form the core of preventative dental procedures. Fluoride treatments prevent the formation of cavities and sealants can be applied to address pits and fissures.

Preventative services encompass custom mouth guards to protect teeth against damage that can be sustained during an extensive array of sports related activities. Custom fitted appliances are available to avert damage caused by teeth clenching and nocturnal grinding. Both practices wear down and damage tooth surfaces and is caused by stress and anxiety.

Without prompt treatment, cavities and periodontal disease result in infections, inflammation and pain. Bacteria from the teeth are easily transmitted to other parts of the body where it can contribute to or aggravate conditions that include cardiovascular disease, diabetes and bacterial pneumonia.

Restorative services include fillings, implants, teeth whitening Eltham, dental crowns and bridges. Dental implant technology is typically used to replace a missing tooth, providing stability to surrounding teeth and preventing them from shifting. Implants are also providing a new alternative to dentures for some patients. Clients can choose the color and shape that’s most complimentary to their facial structure and complexion. Contact your local Dentist Eltham for more information.

Dental bridges span the gap between teeth and provide an artificial tooth that restores functionality, addresses aesthetic needs, and prevents other teeth from moving following an extraction. Crowns are essentially caps that fit over a tooth that has required an extensive filling or a root canal and protects it from further damage.

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialty at Evercare Dental. At-home and in-office tooth whitening is available, along with veneers that provide a quick and permanent solution for teeth that are broken, damaged or imperfectly formed. Dental bonding is offered to eliminate gaps between teeth.
