Dental amalgam, or silver filling material, is a mixture of mercury, and an alloy of silver, tin and copper. The release of mercury in silver fillings is so small that it is much less than what patients are exposed to in food, air and water. There are, however, other materials that can be used for restorations. These include gold, porcelain, and composite resins.

There is some evidence that over-the-counter bleaching products do whiten teeth, however, many of the products are too abrasive and can damage the teeth with extended use or misuse. Supervision by your dentist is always the safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth.

Dentures are no longer the only way to restore a mouth that has little or no non-restorable teeth. Strategically placed support, or implants, can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the feel of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative of choice to dentures, but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Call your dentist for advice.

Dental implants are substitutes for natural tooth roots and rely on the jawbone for support. Strategically placed, implants can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble real teeth.

A root canal is a procedure done to save the damaged or dead pulp in the root canal of the tooth by cleaning out the diseased pulp and reshaping the canal. The canal is filled with gutta percha, a rubberlike material, to prevent recontamination of the tooth. The tooth is then permanently sealed with possibly a post and/or a gold or porcelain crown. This enables patients to keep the original tooth.

It is very important to maintain the baby teeth because these teeth hold space for the future eruption of the permanent teeth. If a baby tooth decays or is removed too early, the space necessary for the permanent teeth is lost and can only be regained through orthodontic treatment. Infected baby teeth can cause the permanent teeth to develop improperly resulting in stains, pits and weaker teeth.

Children will begin losing their teeth at approximately age 5. They will usually lose their front teeth first. Children will continue to lose baby teeth until the age of 12 or 13 when all of the permanent teeth finally erupt.

Just had the most bizarre experience. My family has used Dr. Bonelli as our dentist for 10 years. Today, my daughter was in the office due to a crown having become detached. It was the first available appointment and I left work in order to have my daughter's issue resolved. While waiting in the car due to Covid restrictions and handling tasks for my three other children, I received a telephone call from the doctor. She stated that she can no longer care for my family due to the amount of work required to care for my family. She stated we do not keep up with our regular check ups. I can ensure anyone that my family is seen for a check up on a yearly basis. I would prefer every six months but here are my issues, which Dr. Bonelli is very familar: 1. My husband died less than two years ago after a prolonged battle with cancer. 2. Covid for the past two years has made it very difficult to schedule appointments. 3. I am a single working mother of 4 children. She only has night appointments one day a week with no Saturday availability (it is all about her!). When my daughter returned to the car she stated that the doctor was not only rough with her, but told the child that she no longer desires to care for her family. The adult discussed discontinuing medical services with someone else's minor child! The doctor's lack of compassion along with her egocentricity is not only shocking, but one of a child. I strongly recommend that anyone who has any issue outside of a cavity to seek dental assistance elsewhere.

Run for the hills from this chop shop dentist. She recommended 3 root canals then broke her drill into my tooth, had to go to specialist that insurance did not cover so I had to pay out of pocket for her mistake and the cherry on the cake is now I find out from my new dentist I did not and do not need any root canals. So unprofessional talking about other patients with her hygienist in front of me. Place looked dirty and I had no intention of going back after my initial cleaning but then receptionist calls and pushes an appointment bc they're so "busy" and I won't be able to get an appointment later on-- place was empty both time I had the misfortune of being there. Root canal was in October and I'm still suffering

Worst dentist ever. If u don't know how to do a simple procedure than you need to chose something else as a profession. You are hurting people. My wife is in the bed in pain for ur negligence. May be by law you are protected but karma is like you. And for other people who are and will want to go to her for treatment please find another place.

I am very nervous when it comes to the dentist but when Dr. Bonelli started my treatments I've never let another dentist go near my mouth. She make you feel so comfortable and at ease that you will forget you were ever nervous. I love this place I even started bringing my kids to her

Everyone at the office is so absolutely wonderful and kind. This place was the first to measure my gums and check for gum disease, teach the correct way to floss, and even explain the reason for flossing and brushing. It was the best dentist appointment I've ever had.
