Dental Examination
Dr. Cutrona and our professional staff are committed to ensuring our Saint Louis patients receive thorough care during their twice-yearly dental examinations and cleanings.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
During a twice-yearly check-up, patients receive a thorough examination of their teeth, gums, tongue, jaw, and neck. Dr. Cutrona or one of our experienced dental hygienists will examine each tooth for cavities, plaque, or abnormalities. An examination of your gums will detect if any gum disease is present or needs treatment. Your head, neck and jaw are examined to diagnose any possible issues with glands or joints, such as TMJ disorder. If necessary, Dr. Cutrona may recommend additional X-rays, an oral cancer screening, or a further periodontal inspection.

Teeth Cleaning
Most of us have been to the dentist and have had our teeth cleaned before. It is probably safe to say that most of us have probably had many teeth cleaning appointments over the years. If that is not the case for you, not to worry. What matters is that you are preparing to get one in St. Louis County today. Teeth cleaning is an important component of your dental hygiene regimen that should be done periodically. Patients should aim to see their dentist twice annually to receive a general dental check-up. It is at this appointment that you will receive standard teeth cleaning done by your skilled dental hygienist with help from the dentist.
Fluoride Treatment
When plaque, bacteria, and sugars collect in the mouth, they can wear down the enamel. Flouride reinforces the enamel and is effective at treating sensitive teeth, helping with teeth grinding, and is recommended for people with frequent cavities. Your St. Louis dentist can apply fluoride to your teeth in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. A professional fluoride treatment is much more effective than fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash.
Dental Sealants
Dental Sealants: Sealants effectively prevent foreign particles such as food from getting into the crevice of a tooth, and they are easy and painless to apply. Sealants can be used to shield a child’s molars from infection and cavity.
Space Maintainers
Orthodontic & Other Treatments: Some kids need devices like mouth guards, space maintainers, and braces to assist the placement of their teeth and jaw as they grow. As they get older, they will likely need wisdom teeth removal. Your pediatric dentistry clinic, Plaza Dental, can provide all these services and will be there to help your child through every stage of their dental needs.

Fillings
Composite fillings are a blend of quartz and plastic resin and a filler of finely ground, glass-like particles. Our dentist team can customize the fillings so they match your teeth. They’re becoming an increasingly popular alternative to dental amalgam fillings for people in St. Louis who need a cavity filled because they look more natural, are cheaper, and amalgam fillings carry the risk of inhaling a small amount of mercury vapor.
Resin Composite
Composite resin — Composite resin is a tooth-colored material that is bonded to the remaining teeth to support the bridge. It is not as strong as other materials but can be used for front teeth where aesthetics are important.
Veneers
Dental veneers — For more extensive damage, a dental veneer may be recommended. A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain or composite material that is custom-made to fit over the front surface of the tooth. Veneers can improve the appearance of a broken tooth and can last for many years with proper care. The process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the damaged tooth, then bonding the veneer to the tooth. Veneers are more expensive than bonding, but can provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for a broken tooth.
Crowns
When a tooth has been damaged by a large cavity or fracture, more protection may be required than a filling can provide. To restore functionality and appearance, and to seal the tooth from further damage, a dental crown will then be placed over the entire tooth surface.
Bridges
Porcelain — Porcelain is a popular material used for dental bridges because it can be color-matched to the surrounding teeth, making it look natural. Porcelain is also resistant to stains and is durable.
Dental Bonding
Dental Bonding Procedure. Have you chipped or cracked your tooth in an accident? Is one of your natural permanent teeth abnormally shaped? Perhaps you have a cavity or exposed root and you can’t stand the idea of a visually obvious metallic amalgam. A dental bonding procedure is the answer for several different dental concerns. It is an effective way to improve the appearance of your smile and protect damaged teeth from additional harm. A dental bonding procedure in the St. Louis area is the inexpensive, simple, non-surgical dental solution for you.
Restorative Dentistry
You deserve to be proud of your smile. Cracked and broken teeth can affect your oral health and your pride in your appearance. Restorative dentistry can alleviate discomfort, heal and seal broken teeth, and restore your smile’s look and feel.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy in St. Louis. Did you know that more than 15 million root canals are performed each year in the United States ? That means that more than 41,000 people undergo this procedure every day to save their teeth from infection or damage. But what exactly is root canal therapy and why is it needed? Read on to find out, or call Plaza Dental Center at 314-361-1818 or make an appointment online for your root canal therapy in St. Louis today.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling and Planing. Tooth scaling and root planing are deep cleaning dental tools that address gum disease. When plaque builds up and hardens over time, turning into tartar, the roots and other parts of the tooth become a bacterial breeding ground. This often leads to infection and tooth decay. Together, scaling and planing are a deep cleaning method that can prevent and address gum disease-related toothache pain.

Dentures
Upgrade your oral health and get a smile makeover all in one with dental restoration services. When one or more of your teeth or gums do not perform, feel, or look as healthy as you would like, choose the St. Louis dental restoration experts at Plaza Dental Center. Dr. Cutrona and his expert dental staff will provide top notch dental restoration procedures, from tooth colored fillings to dentures, that will leave you satisfied and beaming brighter than ever.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that serve as anchors for replacement teeth. When a patient is missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the most permanent (and often the most comfortable) solution.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Extractions. For a badly damaged tooth that your dentist can not restore, an extraction may be the toothache remedy for you. This toothache treatment is also used for wisdom teeth. Extractions range from a simple procedure using only a local anesthetic to complete oral surgery. Your Plaza Dental Center toothache treatment team can perform a safe and effective extraction for a tooth that is beyond repair or a wisdom tooth that has no room to grow.
Gum Surgery
Gum Surgery. If left untreated, gingivitis can cause serious issues with your gums, which can usually only be treated with surgery. To avoid this last option, make an appointment with your St. Louis dentist at Plaza Dental when you first notice symptoms.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Maxillofacial surgery — Also called oral surgery, this can include osseous surgery, or pocket reduction surgery, to remove bacteria and diseased gum tissue, smooth any damaged bone, and suture your gums in a way that reduces pocket depth. Other surgeries such as soft tissue grafts from the roof of your mouth to replace damaged gums, or a bone graft if the bone at the root of your teeth has been destroyed.
Osseous Surgery
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is seriously damaged, cosmetic repairs may no longer be an option. Common tooth extractions can be performed by a general dentist, where more extensive tooth removals such as wisdom teeth removal requires the assistance of an oral surgeon. If you’re currently considering tooth extraction as an option, our team can be of assistance. Call Doctor Cutrona and our oral hygienist team at (314)-361-1818.

Orthodontics
Invisalign Orthodontics
In addition to that straight, shiny smile you have been dreaming of, Invisalign® also helps provide consistent oral health. When your teeth are aligned, they tend to harbor fewer bacteria because they’re easier for you to clean. At Plaza Dental, we see the results from Invisalign® every day. Better oral hygiene decreases your risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay. You can also decrease the risks of...
Braces
Check Your Teeth’s Alignment. Many St. Louis kids, and some adults, need braces and/ or retainers to make sure their teeth are properly aligned to prevent any complications in the future. Your dental office professionals may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed if they are affecting or will affect the alignment of your teeth in the future.

Teeth Whitening
There are many over-the-counter products that are designed to be used at home without the need for supervision by a dentist. However, these over-the-counter products cannot provide the same level of whitening strength as the professional-grade treatments provided at Plaza Dental Center. Additionally, the products available in stores take a longer time to garner noticeable whitening.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Smile, it’s a great thing to do! With the advanced techniques in cosmetic dentistry that are offered at Plaza Dental Center, we are sure to give you something to smile about. Our Saint Louis team has helped many of our patients correct gaps, chips, stains and missing teeth with cosmetic procedures and treatments. Our Oral Surgeons will be happy to outline your personalized cosmetic dentistry treatment plan and explain all your options. Take the first step towards enhancing your smile and schedule your cosmetic dentistry exam today at (314) 361-1818.

No – on top of these general services, we are also equipped and experienced in performing various dental procedures that improve the appearance of your smile, make your teeth more functional, and increase your overall comfort and confidence.
