Second Opinion

The patient presented for a second opinion after seeing several other dentists, regarding her concern of decay. She had staining and "black spots" she could see on her teeth along with an old amalgam (silver) filling that she felt was falling apart. During an exam with Dr. Patel, digital x-rays were taken, as well as photos using our intraoral camera. The x-rays were examined using our Logicon technology and revealed active decay present. Dr. Patel diagnosed a plan to remove the old filing and decay. The teeth were excavated and due to the depth of decay, a protective liner was placed in each tooth to help calm the nerves and prevent root canals. Composite (tooth colored material) was filled and shaped in each tooth. The patient will continue to be seen for her routine cleanings and exams to help ensure the health of her teeth and gums.
