Comprehensive Preventative Care 

Everyone who enjoys excellent dental health pays close attention to prevention and maintains a regular preventative routine. The best prevention starts with professional cleanings and exams. Our hygienists and Dr. Caselle work together to monitor and maintain your healthy smile. 

Dental exams and digital x-rays help us to support your dental health through early diagnosis and treatment. If you maintain your regular visits, we will be able to catch any problems early, before they progress.

Reliable Preventative Treatments

Preventative treatments like dental sealants and fluoride treatments also help to keep our patients healthy.

Fluoride treatments help to prevent tooth decay. Some cities do not have adequate fluoride in their water, and additional treatments can provide benefits. Did you know that fluoride also helps with tooth sensitivity? If you are an adult who wants to whiten your teeth but experiences tooth sensitivity, a fluoride treatment may help.

Comfortable and Attractive Dental Restorations

When problems such as decay or fractures occur, we can restore the health of your teeth using high-quality dental restorations such as fillings and crowns.

At Smile Life Dental, we no longer use silver mercury material to fill teeth due to health, environmental, and esthetic concerns. Instead, we use composite resin filling material because we can bond it to your teeth, allowing for conservative preparations where we remove less healthy tooth structure. Composite is tooth-colored, versatile, and durable. This means smaller, more natural looking fillings than amalgam (mercury) fillings. We cure the composite material with a special light then shape and polish it to match the rest of your tooth, resulting in a natural, undetectable restoration.

We create beautiful custom dental crowns for our patients in one day using CEREC technology. Our patients love this convenient service that saves them time, money, and unnecessary temporary crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

We would be delighted to welcome you into our dental family, as well as your family members, friends, and co-workers. We are happy to accept new patients from Wilmington, Reading, North Reading, Wakefield, Woburn, Burlington, Tewksbury, Andover, and the surrounding areas.

You might be wondering what you can expect when you arrive at our Wilmington dental office and understand that starting out at a new dental practice can be a bit intimidating. We are here to put your mind at ease with a friendly welcome and a team who genuinely cares about your oral health and wellbeing.

After we collect the necessary paperwork and insurance information, we will introduce you to the team and show you around.

First visits are especially important because you will have time to discuss any oral health conditions or concerns you might have about your teeth and smile. If you have questions, we welcome you to let us know. We want you to feel confident while you are in our care.

You can expect:

  • A thorough exam of teeth and gums
  • An oral cancer screening
  • Digital dental x-rays
  • Consultation and discussion
  • A dental cleaning

We look forward to meeting you and to providing the high-quality dental care you deserve.

We see children of all ages and recommend children have their first visit at approximately age two when they have many of their teeth present, and they can follow instructions. This early childhood dental visit helps your child become familiar with the dental office sights and sounds in addition to giving Dr. Caselle a chance to make sure that their teeth are developing normally.

Your child’s first visit is an excellent time for us to talk with parents about their little one’s development and to answer any questions regarding what to expect in the upcoming months.

Parents should clean their child's teeth daily when they first appear in their mouth. Before teeth emerge, special cleaning cloths are available to rub along the gums to keep them healthy. We are happy to provide a demonstration on how to provide your child with the best oral hygiene care at home.

Please ask for our complimentary brochure, "Your Child's Teeth."

As your child grows, we will provide preventive dentistry treatments as needed.

  • Dental cleanings
  • Exams
  • Bitewing x-rays
  • Fluoride treatment
  • Sealants

If a cavity develops, you can count on gentle treatment to repair your child’s tooth comfortably.

It might seem tempting to skip dental appointments, especially if your teeth are feeling okay. Dental problems can be silent and remain unnoticed for long periods of time, leading to more serious and costly problems. With regular exams, we can help you to achieve optimum dental health and prevent dental problems. 

We recommend that you receive a dental exam and cleaning at a minimum of every six months. In some cases, we may recommend visiting the dentist more often. For patients managing periodontal disease or who have medical conditions such as diabetes, heart conditions, or who are taking certain medications, 3-4 visits per year may provide you with the enhanced support you need to stay healthy.

We customize the dentistry we provide to meet the oral health needs of patients as they change over time. What worked when you were twenty may need adjustments by the time you reach your fifties. We are here to monitor your health and make recommendations that protect your teeth and your entire body for a lifetime.

It is not only crucial for your oral health, but also your overall health to have regular visits. Studies have shown that dental problems can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other health concerns.

Good oral health means better overall health. To schedule a dental exam, contact our Wilmington dental office.

No, a dental filling is generally not painful. This is one of the most common concerns patients have, but modern dentistry has made the process comfortable and virtually pain-free.

There’s no reason to worry about pain during tooth filling thanks to local anesthesia. Your dentist will numb the area thoroughly before beginning any work. You might feel some pressure or vibration from the dental tools, but no sharp pain or discomfort.

How painful is a filling compared to other procedures?

Fillings are one of the more comfortable dental treatments. Once the area is numb, the process itself is painless. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience actually is.

What can I expect after my filling?

Thanks to strong local anesthesia for dental fillings, your mouth will be numb for several hours after your procedure. Otherwise, some mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods is normal for a few days but typically resolves quickly. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually enough if you experience any discomfort, though many patients don't need them at all.

Ready to take care of that cavity without worry? Call Dental Solutions in Jonesboro, AR, today at (870) 932-3151 to schedule your pain-free tooth filling appointment.
