Oral Cancer Screening
The 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is a little over 50%. It is lower than other cancers because many patients are not diagnosed until the cancer has reached advanced stages or spread to other areas of the body. It is estimated, 80% of new oral cancer cases can be diagnosed early by a dentist. Dr. Chenet provides oral cancer screenings as part of preventive dentistry. He can help detect cancerous and precancerous cells early using a noninvasive, effective screening.
Your teeth can serve you for a lifetime if you commit to caring for them over the years. Although a toothbrush and floss are important to preserving a healthy smile, they aren’t enough. The American Dental Association also recommends you see your dentist at least twice a year for a checkup and dental cleaning in Viera, even if you don’t currently have any concerns. Routine preventive care is the most important service a dentist can offer. Dr. Chenet designs your semi-annual visits to help you enjoy lasting oral health through personalized solutions.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is known as “nature’s cavity fighter” because it keeps your enamel strong and healthy. Painting your teeth with a fluoride varnish replenishes areas of demineralization to prevent it from turning into a cavity. In some cases, it can even help reverse the early stages of tooth decay. In a matter of just a few minutes, you can give your teeth added strength to remain cavity-free.
Dental Sealants
Unfortunately, toothbrush bristles are too large to fit into the tiny pits and grooves on the back teeth, so even good brushing habits can’t prevent all cavities. Sealants are thin layers of tooth-colored material that protect these areas from plaque and bacteria and have been found to prevent 80% of cavities in school-aged children.
If you're embarrassed about your smile because of decay or dark fillings in your teeth, you may be a good candidate for tooth-colored fillings. Instead of relying on silver amalgam fillings of the past, our office has opted for tooth-colored alternatives that work to protect your teeth from future fracture, all while ensuring you can have the confidence to show your smile off to friends, family, co-workers and people you’re meeting for the very first time. Call our office today and we’ll help you protect your smile for many years moving forward!
Resin Composite
One of the more commonly performed procedures is a tooth-colored filling to repair tooth decay. Unlike a metal filling, this one blends seamlessly with the natural color of your remaining tooth structure. A tooth-colored filling is made of composite resin, a material that comes in numerous shades for Dr. Chenet to mix and blend until the perfect match is found. After gently removing decay from your tooth, the Melbourne dentist disinfects the space and applies an adhesive before filling the tooth. The completed tooth-colored filling is not only aesthetically preferable to its metal counterpart, but also provides a measure of added strength because composite resin bonds with your tooth.
Veneers
Want to conceal chips, gaps, stains, and other dental imperfections? Veneers in Melbourne use high-quality porcelain to deliver breathtaking results. Even better, our skilled dental team can completely revitalize your smile in just two appointments! If this sounds like the cosmetic dental treatment you’ve been looking for, then get in touch with our team to learn more or read on.
Crowns
When it comes to deciding how you want to protect your weakened tooth, you will discover that the benefits provided by CEREC crowns make it possible to enjoy...
Bridges
Natural Teeth Remain Untouched: Dental bridges may require that your dentist alter your natural teeth since they will need to serve as anchors for your new bridge, but with dental implants, your existing, healthy teeth will remain unaltered and untouched.
Dental Bonding
However, chipped teeth are not typically considered an urgent dental emergency. If needed, it should be alright to postpone treatment for a few days. Once we take a look at the tooth and assess the damage, we’ll likely be able to quickly and easily fix it up with some dental bonding. If you’ve chipped a front tooth, we may recommend getting a veneer or two to ensure you get optimal aesthetic results.
Restorative Dentistry
There aren’t many people who go through life without needing some kind of restorative treatment for their smile. (Of course, if you know of someone, then we’d love to meet him or her!) That’s why Dr. Chenet and his staff offer a number of different restorative dentistry services to repair or rebuild damaged teeth.
Many people start shaking in their boots at the idea of getting a root canal, but it’s actually a very smooth and comfortable procedure that can save you from a lot of pain.

Whether they are missing as the result of an accident, injury, disease, or another factor, your quality of life doesn’t need to suffer.

Your overall health – Do you suffer from any health conditions that might pose a risk of undergoing minor oral surgery?
Tooth Extractions
Additionally, once you become aware of your dental pain, it’s vital to address it right away with our emergency dentist in Viera. If you’re worried about possible costs, remember that your emergency price will only increase if you wait. Unlike many other medical issues that can get better with time, dental problems will only grow worse, leading to more time and money spent in the dental chair. For example, prolonging root canal therapy will eventually lead to a necessary tooth extraction, which will require a more costly replacement.
Remember that your mouth is continually supplied with oral bacteria. Bacteria deposit plaque on your teeth that, left untouched, hardens into calculus or tartar. Tartar irritates the gums, initiating the process of gum disease. While regular brushing techniques seldom reach plaque's favorite hiding places, like just below the gumline and between the teeth, power toothbrushes have been clinically proven to reduce plaque and thereby minimize both calculus build-up and gingivitis. They're designed to provide simple, effective, consistent access to even the hardest-to-reach places, including around orthodontics, appliances, and restorations without scrubbing, special toothpastes, or fancy techniques.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Now, Invisalign can correct a variety of bite and alignment cases. It is effective for treating gapped, overcrowded, rotated, or tilted teeth without brackets and wires. If any of these issues sound familiar, you may be a candidate for the clear aligners. Your dentist in Viera, Dr. Chenet performs the comprehensive consultation you need to ensure Invisalign is right for you.
Braces
Not at all! Because the aligners are removable, you can simply take them out before enjoying your favorite foods. This is a major benefit over metal braces, since they come with a laundry list of foods you should avoid because they could damage or get stuck in your brackets and wires.
Stained teeth can drain your self-confidence and prevent you from sharing an otherwise beautiful smile. Luckily, we can remove years’ worth of built-up stains with professional teeth whitening. Dr. Chenet and our staff are well-versed in the latest teeth whitening methods and can remove stains caused by a variety of factors, including coffee, tobacco, medications, and aging.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry: Want to have a brighter smile? Want to get rid of small chips or cracks? With these services, we can give you your dream smile in just one or two easy appointments.
General Dentistry
Dental insurance typically covers some, but not all general dentistry procedures. We accept most dental insurances, as long as your policy allows you to choose which dentist you see. Our insurance specialist will file your claim for you, provide the necessary paperwork, and work toward maximizing your benefits. Most insurance companies allow the dentist to assign the payment due to them, and any remaining balance is then billed to the patient. Please remember that dental insurance is a contract between the you and your insurance company, and we have no control over the benefits you receive. If you have any questions about your insurance policy, please ask ! We’re happy to help you better understand your benefits.
