New white fillings replace silver for a natural look

Today’sdental patient demands a better look in addition to healthy teeth. Thanks to advances in technology, today’s dentists are better equipped that ever to meet the public’s high expectations.

An area which has shown great advancement with direct results for patients who seek a more natural looking smile is that of composites or natural tooth enamel-colored filling materials.

Started in 1987, Dental Careers is the oldest and most experienced dental assisting program of its kind . You will be taught in an actual practicing dental office and learn from dental professionals who practice and teach the most current up-to-date methods.

There are several dental assisting programs to choose from in the area. Some of them will

Our program provides hands-on clinical experience the first day. Which program do you think would be a better learning experience?

Crooked teeth, gap-tooth, smiles are now corrected without braces

CROOKED teeth, gaps between teeth, old worn fillings and unsightly stained teeth can make your smile nothing to smile about. If you have ever wished for a better looking smile but thought you would have to put up with braces—not anymore! Today’s aesthetic dentistry can correct embarrassing dental defects much more easily and quicky than in the past.

One innovation that dentists recommend to eliminate these types of problems is the porcelain veneer. The unique characteristics of today’s porcelain material used to create veneers results in a new tooth surface remarkably lifelike in its ability to duplicate the natural translucence of the surrounding natural teeth.
