Drilling? No Thanks! With Icon, the revolutionary treatment for early cavities and white spots on teeth...without drilling

Traditionally, if we as dentists came across a patient that had a very early stage cavity, we would either apply fluoride or a remineralizing agent and try to prevent the cavity from progressing, or we would tell the patient "lets just watch that cavity, we will evaluate it at your next checkup." At that time, if the cavity had got deeper, we would finally have no choice but to "drill and fill." The fluoride therapy is not always effective, and drilling and filling almost always sacrifices large amounts of healthy tooth structure.

Today, there is a revolutionary new dental material called Icon, introduced by DMG, a German company. Icon presents a breakthrough micro-invasive technology that allows dentists to fill and reinforce demineralized enamel of early stage cavities without drilling or anesthesia.Icon can arrest the progress of early cavities in one simple procedure, without unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure.

Another common situation that dentists encounter is white spots on teeth, spots that not only look unsightly but also develop into cavities, turn ugly brown and usually need drilling to make cosmetic improvements. Icon is revolutionizing the cosmetic treatment of these carious white spots. When these white spots are infiltrated with Icon, they take on the appearance of the surrounding healthy enamel, all in one visit, in one simple step, with no drilling.

Pearl Dental Center, Newtown Family Dentistry, now has a Cavity Free Club

We encourage our patients to take preventive measures to combat tooth decay, we recommend a healthy  diet    that cuts down sugar and acid intake, we ask them to avoid excessive consumption of sodas, cookies, candies,
we advise parents to refrain from giving their kids between-meals snacks, we recommend fluoride rinses and
mouthwashes- all this so our patients can be cavity free!

It is only fitting, when a child is found to be cavity free, largely by following all the regimen recommended  by the dental profession, that we celebrate this achievement, announce it and reward the child with  a prize.

Therefore, Pearl Dental Center, Newtown Family Dentistry announces the formation of a Cavity Free Club.
 All children upto age 18 are eligible to join. Their name and photo will be put up  on our website, they will be given  coupons for  a   healthy snack (such as frozen fat-free yogurt) and will be considered our ambassadors for talking to school kids  about growing up cavity-free.

Be on the lookout for the first member of our Cavity Free Club.

Porcelain Veneers in One Hour-New permanent Cerinate Veneers

You can now have permanent Porcelain Veneers made in one hour right in our office. At Pearl Dental Center, Newtown Family Dentistry, we now place the Denmat Cerinate One -Hour Porcelain Veneers in one visit.

Gone are the days when we would have to file down the teeth extensively, then take impressions to send to the laboratory to fabricate the permanent veneers, place temporaries on your teeth, then bring you back for a second visit for placement of the permanent veneers.

And since there are no laboratory fees involved and since there is no need for a second visit, the fees for the one-hour veneers are also considerably less than the lab-fabricated veneers.

On the other hand, if you needed instant cosmetic improvements or needed to cut down on the cost factor, you could get direct bonding done on your teeth: no laboratory procedures are needed in direct bonding but the material used in bonding is not porcelain but composite resin, which is not as durable or as stain-resistant as porcelain.

Now, with Cerinate one-hour permanent porcelain veneers, the advantageas are:
- very little drilling, if any
- no sensitivity
- considerably less expensive (in our office, actually less than the bonding)
- instant results, in about an hour

Interest-free financing for 18-24 months can be arranged through Care Credit or Chase to make the Cerinate one-hour permanent porcelain veneers more affordable so give you that winning smile you always wanted!
