Let's face it, very few of us have perfect teeth, free of decay and fillings. You can probably see a filling or two in your own mouth, which do just that -- "fill" a cavity, or hole, in your tooth left from the excavation of decayed tooth structure.
In many cases, those fillings are made of metal material and can go "bad". When this happens it weakens the tooth, and you may get additional decay under or around it.
In fact, 1.2 billion of these metal fillings will need to be replaced in the next 10 years.*
Dr. Applegate uses CEREC, a method used by thousands of dentists worldwide since 1987, not only to replace these fillings, but also to restore any tooth that is decayed, weakened, broken, etc. to its natural strength and beauty. Better yet, it's done in a single appointment!
Your tooth restoration will be natural looking because it is made of tooth-colored ceramic material. It is metal-free -- no silver fillings to discolor your smile! The ceramic material is compatible with tissue in your mouth and is high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. It allows us to be extremely precise and save more of the healthy part of your tooth.

Finally, the smile you've always wanted without the pain you've never wanted! At Applegate Dentistry we use LUMINEERS porcelain veneers, proven to be the safe and painless way to create dramatic changes in your smile.
If you want a smile that's your crowning glory, you may need a crown to cover a tooth and restore it to its normal shape and size. But why go to the dentist a second time when you don't have to? Here at Applegate Dentistry we use CEREC, a tooth restoration procedure that is done in a single appointment, start to finish.
New at Applegate Dentistry! Introducing Vanish XT Extended Contact Varnish, the six month protective barrier that immediately relieves tooth sensitivity and provides a long-term release of fluoride, calcium and phosphate.
These are just a few of the many benefits of using the product:
If you're missing one or more teeth, you may notice a difference in chewing and speaking. There are options to help restore your smile. Dental Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing teeth.
Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For some people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.

Your smile is important. Think about it... It's actually one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful and will help you feel better about yourself. Better still, it will make a lasting impression on others.

In many cases, those fillings are made of metal material and can go bad, weaken the tooth, or get additional decay under or around it.

If you've lost all or most of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older.
