Bonding and White Fillings

Patients of dentist Dr. Amit Pandya often request bonding and white fillings to restore their smile, as these are both excellent procedures that can help cover imperfections of the tooth.

White fillings are performed for tooth decay, but can also be used for covering up imperfections like chips or cracks in the teeth. Bonding works in a similar way, as it is mixed to be the same color as the tooth. This lets it be used by our dentist for staining or discoloration, filling gaps, and improving many other imperfections of the teeth.
Benefits of bonding and white fillings are as follows:

• The material matches the natural tooth.
• It covers a wide range of imperfections.
• No silver amalgam fillings are needed.
• It is safe and effective.

The process of bonding and white fillings is simple, starting with mixing composite resin to the right shade. An adhesive gel is first painted onto the tooth, followed by molding and shaping the resin over the tooth. Dr. Pandya works quickly to get it in the right shape, then shines an ultraviolet light on it, which hardens the resin. The last step is polishing the tooth.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars you receive in life. Most of the time, they arrive in the later teen years or during your early twenties. Many people discover that their arrival spells only problems for the state of their dental health and require removal. Here at Amit Pandya, DDS, there are three common reasons we recommend wisdom tooth extractions:

Partial eruptions of impacted teeth happen when part of the tooth has broken through the gum, and it creates a situation that's primed for oral infections. In most cases, patients will experience light facial swelling and bleeding for a couple of days after the extraction or longer. Use a combination of cold compresses and pain medication (sometimes we will prescribe pain medications, but that is not always the case) to combat pain and swelling afterwards. Keep moist gauze or moistened tea bags on the socket to help manage bleeding and avoid blog clots.
