To keep your gums clean and healthy, your dental hygienist performs a professional cleaning. This removes any adverse plaque that may have been missed during your daily brushing and flossing routine. If you are suffering from gum disease then we may use scaling and root planing to remove severe plaque build-up.
At the end of your hygiene visit, we provide some feedback about your brushing routine and may include some kindly pointers.
A filling is placed by first cleaning the affected tooth and numbing the surrounding area. Next, Dr. Fredal uses the composite material to fill the hole or gap in the tooth. This is hardened to protect the inside of your tooth. Once complete, your tooth is restored to its natural function and look.
Great group of people here. I've been going to Fredal DDS for years and they've always taken good care of me. They are very professional and fun to be around.

The procedure to place a crown is simple. Dr. Fredal takes a digital impression of the tooth and sends it to a specialist lab. At the lab, your custom crown is made and then sent to Dr. Fredal, who comfortable fits it over your natural tooth.
Crowns are used during or after other procedures such as bridges, implants, and root canals. When used with a dental bridge, crowns are placed either side of a missing tooth so the artificial tooth can be held in place. The two crowns act as anchors to stop the new tooth from moving.
In fact, the treatment is very straightforward for our skilled Shelby Township dentist. To begin, Dr. Fredal cleans the area, removes the diseased tissue, and disinfects the tooth. The inner part of the tooth is cleaned and filled with a special material designed to protect the tooth. If necessary, a dental crown may be placed over the tooth to reinforce it.
One of our most popular dental services for kids is sealants. Sealants are used to assist children (and adults) with daily brushing. Your teeth have small grooves, which can trap food debris and lead to decay. It is very difficult to remove this debris with everyday brushing (especially for our younger patients). Therefore, Dr. Fredal applies a special gel to the surface of the tooth. This gel hardens and fills in the grooves, making it easier for your child to brush and remove all debris.
