Dr. Andrew Shannon – Aesthetic and General Dentistry

We Do General Dentistry!

General Dentistry is defined as the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of diseases, disorders and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and/or the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body.

We conduct a dental examination to identify how healthy your teeth and gums are and any problem areas within your mouth. We will then discuss the options that are available to you and decide which treatment is most suitable.

All of our procedures may be considered cosmetic in nature; we strive to restore tooth functionality while making the teeth look natural. In the past, dental fillings and other tooth restorations were made of gold, amalgam and other metals - some of which were veneered with porcelain. Now, dental work can be made entirely of porcelain or composite materials that more closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth structure. These tooth colored materials are bonded to the underlying tooth structure with resin adhesives. Unlike silver fillings (amalgams) they are entirely free of mercury.
