Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth every day. If it isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional.

Regular cleanings help prevent tartar buildup, protect your gums, and keep your smile healthy.

Dental restorations are built to last, but they are not permanent. Fillings, crowns, and other treatments wear down over time from daily chewing, grinding, and natural aging.

Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and addressing issues early can help restorations last longer and keep your smile healthy.
