Preventative Care
You’ve probably heard it many times but it’s absolutely true: Regular visits to your dentist in Avon Lake, OH for preventive care are the very best way to protect the health of your teeth and keep your costs low. We won’t just “scrape your teeth clean” and send you on your way. We’ll take care to make sure your teeth are spotless and then we will explain any changes you need to make at home to keep your teeth in excellent condition. If it’s time for x-rays, they’ll be digital which means they’ll be fast, much clearer than film x-rays, expose you to minimal radiation and be visible in your treatment room. A thorough examination will be done to detect any problems that need immediate treatment. Regular x-rays, cleanings and examinations enable us to spot small problems before they can become big ones that could be both painful and expensive.
Fillings
Repairing a decayed area of your tooth with a clean, tooth-colored filling means that we are preventing further damage to this tooth. By using composite resin to fill your tooth, we help you save more of your natural tooth material because of the way this composite bonds to a tooth. Metal fillings required dentists to drill away more of the tooth’s shape because the tooth itself had to hold the filling in. The tight bond between a composite filling and a prepared tooth means minimal drilling and less discomfort. If you learn that you need a filling, please see us In Avon Lake, OH as soon as possible so we can save as much of your tooth as possible.
Crowns
When a tooth has been weakened or fractured but it is still viable, a crown protects that tooth and extends its life many more years. Dr. Simon recommends a crown for a tooth that has received root canal therapy as the lack of blood supply to this tooth will cause it to become brittle. A shiny new crown will strengthen that tooth. With every crown placed in this office in Avon Lake, OH, Dr. Simon ensures that it is a match for the other teeth and an enhancement to the patient’s smile.
Bridges
Bridges are a fast and fully functional way to replace missing teeth. In Avon Lake OH every time Dr. Simon prepares a bridge for a patient, she takes great care to ensure that the result is not only a perfectly satisfactory fit but that it also has a perfect appearance that matches the other teeth in the mouth. When well cared for, a bridge can last for decades. We will make sure you not only receive a beautifully matching bridge, but that you also know just how to care for it to make it last.

Extractions
Aided by her staff, Dr. Simon will help you with simple extractions. If a tooth has been so badly damaged that it cannot be saved, an extraction may be in the patient’s best interest. Or a child’s baby teeth may stubbornly refuse to fall out, meaning that they may get in the way of permanent teeth trying to come in. An extraction may then be called for.
Extractions can be scary procedures for our patients, especially the young ones. At Marie Simon Dentistry in Avon Lake OH We take very good care of every patient during an extraction, making sure they are as comfortable as possible with the right pain relief during the procedure. We’ll make sure they know exactly what we are going to do before we do it so there are no surprises. As much as it’s possible, we want every visit—even extractions—to end up being positive experiences after which every patient feels very well cared for.
Pediatric Care
At Marie Simon Dentistry in Avon Lake OHChildren are very special patients! A child who understands the importance of dentistry and who is treated gently and thoughtfully at a dentist’s office has a great head start on a lifetime of healthy teeth. We love it when our patients bring their children in for their first examinations. We enjoy teaching their children about taking care of their teeth and then we make sure that everything in their mouth looks healthy.
Veneers
Veneers can benefit our patients from Avon Lake, OH in so many ways. If you’re not familiar with veneers, these are thin porcelain shells that cover the fronts and the tips of teeth. They can be used to even out the size or length of a patient’s teeth when a few of them are irregularly shaped. When one or more teeth are discolored or chipped, a few veneers can quickly restore this damaged smile. Veneers can also be used to cover all visible teeth when a patient has cosmetic problems throughout the mouth, resulting in a brilliant new smile.
