Cleanings, Fillings, and More

Bentleyville Sedation Dentistry helps you fight against plaque, gum disease, and tooth decay. Our practice specializes in dental cleaning procedures from scaling to whitening, so you can rest assured that yours will be performed by a skilled and experienced medical professional.

Poor oral hygiene can lead to a variety of dental and medical problems such as gum disease, infection, heart disease, stroke, and even diabetes. That’s why our dentists recommend that your teeth be cleaned professionally twice a year. 

Teeth cleaning is the removal of dental plaque and tartar to prevent cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. The average dental cleaning is a routine procedure that is rarely painful and takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Get your cavities filled with composite fillings made from resins that are matched to your tooth’s color, so they become invisible when applied. They will provide an excellent seal on the affected area and prevents tooth decay. The factors that go into our decision to use composite fillings include:

• Allergies you may have
• The size of the area that needs to be filled
• The location of the affected area in the mouth (i.e., a tooth that is heavily relied on for chewing)
• Your preference regarding the use of metals in the mouth
• Whether it is necessary cosmetically to have a tooth-colored filling

If you have suffered enough tooth decay that the tooth can't be restored, have impacted or problematic wisdom teeth, or need to have teeth removed to make space for an orthodontic treatment, trust our team.

We always make every attempt to treat your teeth and remedy any dental malady. But in some cases, when the damage is in an advanced stage, it may be necessary to extract the tooth to maintain dental health.

If a tooth is broken, cracked, or extensively decayed, it may be necessary to remove it. Likewise, a tooth that is associated with advanced stages of periodontal disease should be removed, as well as teeth that are poorly positioned or non-functional.
