DENTAL SEALANTS IN SOUTHAMPTON

Dental sealants are protective coatings that block out cavity-causing germs and food particles. A dental sealant in Southampton, PA is like a thin, plastic layer that bonds to tooth enamel. It’s not a permanent restoration like a filling or bonding, so no drilling or numbing is needed! We place them in the deep grooves and pits of back teeth (molars). Since toothbrush bristles can’t reach into tiny crevices, sealants provide a smooth surface that’s easier to clean.

The Importance of Dental Sealants

Prevention Focused Dentistry-

Dr. David Agia in Southampton, Pennsylvania recommends placing sealants on permanent molars as soon as they erupt, which is usually around 6 and 12 years of age, respectively. Since cavities are one of the most common childhood diseases, dental sealants are an effective way to reduce your child’s risk of oral health complications. Like cleanings, fluoride, and X-rays, your child’s dental sealants are usually covered under your insurance’s preventative benefits. Most people pay little to nothing out of pocket. But even if sealants aren’t covered, the procedure is quite affordable.

Cavity Protection for Kids-

Cavities are bacterial infections that can spread to adjacent teeth. When not treated quickly, the cavity can spread deeper into the tooth structure and require endodontic therapy (root canal treatment.) Fortunately, getting sealants on permanent teeth can drastically lower your child’s risk of getting cavities in the first place. The key is to protect molars as soon as they erupt, rather than wait until there are other cavities elsewhere in the mouth. Since sealants only safeguard the chewing surfaces of molars, it’s still important to teach your child how to floss daily.

Simple and Effective-

Getting dental sealants in Southampton is easy and only takes a few minutes per tooth. When you schedule a checkup for your child at our Southampton practice, we can incorporate sealants on the same visit if needed. Schedule your family’s next visit with Dr. David Agia.

Implants vs Bridges

You always have options for different kinds of treatment. We will, of course, present you with the most ideal option, but we will do our best to find other more economical ways to help you achieve your goals. Here is how dental implants compare with dental bridges:

Bridges

  • A bridge is difficult to keep clean
  • A bridge requires aggressive tooth reduction of healthy teeth that are supporting the bridge
  • An implant saves the adjacent teeth

Dental Implants

  • Implants preserve the bone level
  • Implants allow you to floss and clean the area just like a natural tooth
  • Implants have a success rate of 98%

Advantages of Implants at Southampton Aesthetic Dentistry

Dental implant placement in Southampton, Pennsylvania is a predictable and straightforward process. Although some people request sedation, Dr. David Agia can generally install implants with a small amount of local anesthetic. Since the gums are the only area with nerve endings, you’ll feel little to nothing during the actual procedure. Your implants need to integrate with the bone around them, so we’ll want to wait a few months before affixing a permanent restoration on top of your new prosthesis.

Types of Implant Restorations

Your dental implant is just the “root” portion of having a new tooth. On top, we’ll need to attach a fixed restoration like a crown, bridge, or denture (depending on how many teeth you’re missing). Since implants are stronger than natural teeth, they’re able to work in pairs to support the weight of multiple tooth restorations at one time. During your treatment planning process, Dr. David Agia will discuss the various options and combinations of implants and restorations available. Together, we’ll find a solution that meets your smile needs, timeline, budget, and health.

Mini Dental Implants

While all dental implants require care during insertion to avoid encroaching on vulnerable nerves, sinuses or bony structures, the ultra small width of the mini implants offers a comfortable margin of safety. Mini dental implants are about half the size of traditional implants, which means that fewer bone structures are needed to secure the dental prosthesis.


A traditional dental implant is about the same size as a tooth. But when there’s not enough bone or space to support a full implant, most dentists tell their patients to consider another option. But Dr. David Agia in Southampton, Pennsylvania offers a smaller implant design known as the “mini,” which is ideal for situations that involve:

  • Limited space
  • Bone loss
  • Denture stabilization
  • Replacing smaller teeth
  • Same day implants

Q & A

Mini Implants Q & A

  • WHAT ARE MINI IMPLANTS?

    Mini dental implants in Southampton, PA resemble conventional implants in their shape and materials but are less than half their size. Although they’re not able to support as much weight as a traditional implant, the miniature version is still predictable and effective. In most cases, Dr. Dr. David Agiacan place a mini implant in just one day.

  • WHY ARE MINI IMPLANTS USED?

    One of the common reasons we use mini implants is to secure a removable overdenture. Mini Implants help with denture stabilization. In these situations, Dr. David Agia places about 2-4 implants in your mouth and retrofits your denture with small attachments. Your prosthesis is still removable, but it snaps into place so that it won’t rock or shift throughout the day.

  • HOW COMPLICATED IS THE PROCEDURE?

    Getting mini implants is a simple, straightforward procedure and a fairly routine process. Only a small amount of local anesthetic is needed to numb the area where it’s being installed. The procedure usually takes less than a half hour from start to finish.

  • WHAT IF I HAVE BEEN TOLD IMPLANTS AREN'T AN OPTION?

    If you’ve been told that implants aren’t an option because of your teeth shifting or bone shrinking (resorbing,) then mini implants may be a great alternative. Our Southampton office offers comprehensive implants and mini designs to fit the diverse needs of our patients.

  • HOW MUCH DO MINI IMPLANTS COST?

    Every patient will have different needs and therefore it is difficult to know exactly how much mini implants will cost you. At Southampton Aesthetic Dentistry, we will provide you with a complete estimate of how much your specific needs will cost after your initial consultation. At this point you will be able to decide if mini implants fit into your budget. 


    We also offer different payment plans to allow almost anyone to experience the benefits of mini implants. We invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. David Agia today to find out which implant solution is right for you! Financing options are available.

Tooth Colored Fillings Southampton, PA

Dr. David Agia uses metal-free, mercury-free white fillings for treating tooth decay. Composite restorations are safer for your smile and appropriate for all ages. Traditional metal fillings in Southampton, PA are held in place by creating a “cut out” for wedging the material into the tooth. But with a tooth colored filling, the composite bonds naturally to your enamel. This design makes it so that your white filling is smaller, less invasive, and can be placed anywhere inside your mouth in Southampton. Since tooth colored fillings reduce the amount of enamel that has to be removed during your treatment, they’re the best option for treating an area of decay. 


Do you have a cavity? Symptoms of tooth decay can include sensitivity, pain when eating certain foods, rough edges, food packing inside of teeth, and discoloration. However, some cavities are completely asymptomatic. That’s why we recommend scheduling a checkup with Dr. David Agia at least every six months.The sooner your cavity is detected, the easier (and more affordable) it is to treat. We screen for demineralized enamel at each checkup, to potentially bypass tooth decay through other preventative care strategies (like fluoride treatments and fluoride.)


Tooth Colored Fillings are made to match your smile.Composite comes in a variety of different shades. When it’s time for your treatment, we’ll use a guide to match the material so that it blends right in with your teeth. Once the filling is placed and cured, you shouldn’t be able to differentiate it from the tooth structure around it.If you have a cavity on a front tooth, rest assured Dr. Agia can repair your smile in a way that also enhances its overall appearance. Even smooth surfaces can be repaired, which isn’t an option with metal restorations.
