The Bad Breath Battle

Did you know that most people don’t even know if they have bad breath? Do you know for sure?

Dentists and doctors call bad breath halitosis. In most cases, the offensive smell comes from bacterial waste products. That’s right! In your mouth live over 600 types of bacteria, some good and some bad. Some of the bacteria produce sulfur compounds that are, to be frank, very stinky!

The Three Types of Dental Crowns

If you need a crown, your tooth has sustained damage that can’t be repaired with a filling. You might have a deep cavity, crack, or chip. Your tooth could be worn down, which will, over time, negatively alter your bite. Or, you may need a crown following a root canal. Depending upon the amount of tooth structure that needs restoration, Dr. Villani may recommend a full crown or a ¾ crown, which we call inlays or onlays.

A Root Canal can Salvage an Infected Tooth

We have all heard about the dreaded root canal. It’s true: root canals have a bad reputation. I am Dr. Thomas Villani and I am here to tell you that root canals aren’t as bad as they sound. My associate at Brighton Family Dental Group, Dr. Richard Kondrat, and I happy to answer questions to put your mind at rest before and during your root canal procedure.

Get a Straight, Beautiful Smile without a Mouth Full of Metal

For many people, having a mouth full of metal is the way they remember their teenage years. Even if you wore braces when you were younger, it is likely that your teeth have shifted. No matter what your dental history is, if you look in the mirror and see crooked, widely spaced, or overlapping teeth, I, Dr. Thomas Villani, have a solution you will love.

For most adults, especially those in the professional world, wearing metal braces simply isn’t practical. Here at Brighton Family Dental Group, we are proud to offer you another option. Invisalign is a clear, removable aligner that allows you to get the result of traditional braces while maintaining a mature, natural appearance.
