Through the use of dental rinses, varnishes, toothpastes, gums, mints, and sugar free lollipops we can later the biofilm and try to eliminate tooth decay from your mouth. Each of these regimens is custom designed for your individual mouth. When you arrive for your new patient exam or just on your hygiene recare visit, we can talk to you about your current state and what we can do to help you with eliminating this problem from your mouth.

This is then sent to the laboratory to fabricate an e.max crown that fits the digital model.
