One American dies from oral cancer every hour. This mortality rate has remained virtually steady for the past 40 years. But, there is a 90% cure rate only if it is detected early. According to the NCBI it is most commonly found in tissues in the lips and tongue. Smoking and tobacco use are also linked to 70-80% of oral cancer cases. Heavy alcohol use is also linked to increased risk for oral cancer. Feel like getting detected for oral cancer now?

Beautiful and Natural-looking Smiles
Preston Dental knows that when you have a confident smile, you feel and look good! That is why Preston Dental emphasizes the aesthetic in all of their work. The combination of preventative care, tooth-colored fillings, and restorative techniques will help you reach better dental health.
One treatment for a natural-looking smile is to replace the standard silver-mercury filling with white bonded fillings. The white bonded fillings look better, contain no metals, and can help strengthen your teeth. The metal in standard fillings is not tooth-colored, and does not bond as well to teeth. It eventually decays and can leak into the tooth. White bonded fillings bond tightly to the healthy part of the tooth to better eliminate the chance of future decay. These fillings are just one way that Preston Dental wants to help you achieve a beautiful and natural-looking smile.
