Bridges Are Replacements for Missing Teeth
We also make natural-looking and totally functional bridges to replace missing or damaged teeth. We custom make your bridge from the best materials, and it is anchored on both sides with crowns. It takes care of the gap in your smile from multiple missing teeth and functions just like your natural teeth.
Your Teeth Have Never Felt So Clean!
With the Piezo Scaler™, having your teeth cleaned has never been easier or quicker. This high-frequency vibrational tool removes deposits of calculus and plaque faster and more thoroughly. It works well to remove any build-up below the gumline, even in deep pockets. There is little discomfort, and your teeth will be the cleanest they have ever been!
Technology that Provides Additional Comfort During Treatment
Isolite® is an amazing new technology that makes treatment easier for a patient. As modern dental procedures require a dry field, Isolite makes it possible to eliminate the bulky rubber dam previously used to keep an area of your mouth dry. It also provides a brilliant light so the dentist can perform very accurate work.
Overall, the advancements in this dual-functioning device mean less time patients spend in the dental chair. The mouth is continually being vacuumed, avoiding saliva build-up or swallowing debris. The mouth doesn't become fatigued from being held open as long. And the brilliant light eliminates any shadows to allow treatment to move along and be completed with precision

The Most Common Reason for Missing Teeth
Extensive decay is the general assumption for the reason for tooth loss. But the most frequent cause is periodontal or gum disease. Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing is a sign of this infection. But sometimes there are no signs until the stage of infection has become severe. With early treatment, the infection can be reversed with nonsurgical methods. If you wait too long to take care of the problem, surgery may be the only option.
Dr. Marino is very pleased to be able to treat patients with gum disease with a very effective antibiotic, Arestin™. Working on time release to combat the infection, it is applied directly to the inflamed, deep pockets and works to kill all the bacteria and allow your gums to return to a healthy state.
