Questions about treatment

We offer both tooth-colored composite fillings and traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Thanks to advances in composite materials, tooth-colored fillings can be used almost anywhere and actually bond to the tooth, allowing us to be more conservative. We'll recommend the best material for your specific situation.
Call us right away at (605) 624-6291. In most cases we can see you the same day. We strive to be very accommodating when you're in pain or have a dental emergency.

Yes. Fluoride is vital to the strength of your enamel in both children and adults. For patients who prefer it, we also offer an alternative treatment shown in studies to provide similar protective benefits.
