Caring Dentist in Welsh, LA

To maintain the best oral hygiene and health, the process of teeth cleaning is important. Allowing a dentist to perform this service is important to make sure all plaque is properly removed. This will help prevent gum disease like gingivitis and periodontal disease, as well as cavities. 

The procedure of a root canal requires removing infected pulp from deep within a tooth. This stops the infection from spreading and protects the remaining tooth from further damage. Our dentist will perform your root canal with care to ensure your total comfort during the process.

One of the simplest ways to improve the appearance of a smile is by using veneers. This is a layer of fabricated composite and porcelain that’s placed over a tooth or multiple teeth. Using veneers means the tooth underneath is protected from damage and the smile appears more even and straight.

Cavities happen, and our staff at the office of Mark Petry, DDS understands that. The good news is that cavities can often be temporarily remedied using techniques such as crowns and fillings. With a crown, the material sits on top of the existing tooth and can be either silver or naturally colored to your teeth. With fillings, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the cavity to prevent it from worsening.
