Do I Need a Cavity Filling?

Even with great dental health, you or your child may still develop a cavity. Cavities can occur in the hard-to-reach places in the back of your mouth, where you may not be able to get to by brushing alone. It can sometimes be difficult to know that you have a cavity due to its size or location in your mouth. Here are some signs that you should visit Meadowlark Dental:

Dental pain, especially when eating
Sensitivity to heat, cold, or pressure
A small pit or rough spot in the surface of your tooth

If you or your child need a cavity filling, do not hesitate to call your trusted Lenexa dentist!

Find Out If Dental Implants Are Right For You.Take the quiz to see if you are a candidate for dental implant treatment.

Our team at Meadowlark Dental is here to help you smile with confidence again. Take the quiz to see if you are a candidate for dental implant treatment.

Do You Accept Walk-ins and Emergencies?

Yes, we do. We invite our patients to visit us on a walk-in basis and will do our best to see you as soon as scheduling permits. Our team also offers same-day appointments in cases of dental emergencies, injuries, and accidents. You can trust your local Lenexa dentist for the care you need!

Do You Offer Financing?

Yes, we do. We offer flexible dental financing through CareCredit. No matter your personal budget, we strive to provide top-notch care at prices that fit your lifestyle!

Do You Accept Insurance?

Yes, we do! Our office works with Delta Dental, Cigna, and MetLife. If you have any questions about your dental insurance benefits or any of our insurance policies, our friendly front desk team is here to help!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about your upcoming visit? We can help! Our caring team is always happy to discuss your questions, needs, and concerns.

Are implants covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes. Most dental Insurances will cover a portion of your implant procedure and associated costs, depending on your plan. Our friendly team is here to help you and will answer any questions you may have about your insurance, out-of-pocket costs, and financing.

How much do dental implants cost?

The full cost of your dental implant procedure will depend on your overall treatment needs, such as the extent of restoration required to complete your smile. Our team will provide you with a full breakdown of all costs and payment options during your consultation.

Do implants hurt?

In the beginning, yes. You will require a minor surgical procedure to place the implants in your jaw. Following your procedure, it’s normal to experience some pain and swelling as your mouth heals. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and prescribed pain relievers (as needed) to help you manage any discomfort you may experience.

Do you offer sedation?

Yes, we do. Our team will provide you with your sedation options during your initial visit upon request so you can decide if sedation is right for you. Sedation allows your body to relax and can reduce any anxiety you may experience in the dentist’s chair.

What happens if I don’t get an implant?

If you’ve lost one or more teeth due to trauma, disease, or decay, it’s important to replace those teeth as soon as you can. Missing teeth can impact your oral health as well as your overall physical well-being, causing problems biting, chewing, and eating properly. You also have a greater chance of developing gum disease, TMJ, crooked teeth, and other issues if you go without replacing your missing teeth.

If your smile could use additional care to achieve its full potential, schedule a consultation with our trained cosmetic specialists. Our team will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth to create a treatment plan to address your unique needs and desired results.

How Do Tooth-colored Fillings Work?

At our practice, our experienced dental team offers high-quality tooth-colored dental fillings to repair teeth and restore smiles to the fullest. Tooth-colored fillings are made from composite resin. This means our fillings are metal-free and bond better than traditional metal fillings. They are also the same color as your other teeth for a natural-looking restoration. This approach to restoring the tooth replicates its natural color, shape, and function and improves its strength.

Protective Sealants

Even with proper at-home care and good oral hygiene, your child may need additional help to keep their teeth healthy. Our team offers dental sealants to prevent cavities in school-age children and protect their smiles from tooth decay.

Fluoride Applications

To protect your child’s smile from cavity-causing bacteria, our dentist recommends regular fluoride applications as part of your child’s preventive care. Fluoride strengthens your child's enamel to prevent and even reverse the early stages of tooth decay.

Cavity Fillings

Our team understands how important it is to restore your child’s dental health without compromising their naturally bright smile. That is why we offer tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities without the need for silver or other metals.

Dental Exams

Patients with generally good oral health should attend routine checkups twice a year, or once every six months. Our practice may recommend more frequent visits if you are in need of further support because of periodontal disease or an oversensitivity to decay. Our exam is designed to identify areas of damage or decay at the earliest stages, along with other areas we check in these periodic exams.

Not only do we check ourselves in the examination, but we also ask you what concerns or questions you might have with the exam. Should something out of the ordinary present itself, we will cover that with you and set up the next steps to address it. These types of exams are important for both our oral health and our overall health.

Dental Cleanings

Thorough cleanings from one of our excellent hygienists will provide your smile with valuable assistance as well. The sticky, bacteria-filled substance known as plaque is constantly forming over your teeth, causing potential damage until it’s cleared away with diligent brushing and flossing. This plaque, or soft bacteria, starts to form in layers in a few hours, which is part of why it is so important to brush and floss twice daily. It is important to clean these layers away.

If areas are missed in brushing and flossing, the plaque can harden into tartar or calculus, a combination of different types of hard bacteria. It requires our equipment and expertise to remove it safely. This type of hard bacteria is not beneficial; it attacks the teeth and more, both on the outside layers of the bacteria you see, and the inside layer against the tooth and gums.

Our hygienists can professionally cleanse these areas, leaving your mouth refreshed, but more importantly, cleaned and healthier.

General Dentistry & Family Care in Lenexa

Is it time to choose a dentist for you and your children? We welcome you to Meadowlark Dental, where we offer top-quality dental services at affordable prices. When you visit us, here is the dentistry services and procedures you can expect:

Dental Checkups

Our dentist offers regular dental checkups to patients of all ages and stages of care. At your next checkup, you can expect a professional cleaning, full examination, digital X-rays, and oral cancer screening. We will also recommend improvements to your or your child’s at-home care routine to help the whole family maintain optimal oral health.

Learn More

Crowns and Bridges

Our team can repair or replace teeth with restorative dental care. Crowns are used to repair teeth in cases of injury or decay. Made from high-quality porcelain, a crown can restore your tooth's look, function, and strength. If you are missing one or more teeth, our dentist may recommend a bridge to fill the gap in your smile and restore your healthy bite.

Learn More

Mouthguards

Athletes of all ages should use custom-made sports mouthguards when they enjoy contact sports and other physical activities. Our dentist recommends mouth guards for adults and children. For patients who clench or grind their teeth at night (a condition known as nighttime bruxism), we also offer comfortable nightguards.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are an important preventive treatment for young and cavity-prone children. Our dentist applies sealants to the chewing surfaces of your child’s teeth to seal out cavity-causing bacteria. This helps keep your child’s smile strong and free of decay.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Even with great oral hygiene and at-home care, cavities can still happen. When cavities do occur, we repair teeth with natural-looking composite fillings to restore smiles without the need for silver (dental amalgam). Made from high-quality composite resin, tooth-colored fillings are safe for patients aged 6 and up.

Full-service Family Care

Our dentist welcomes patients of all ages and stages of care, including children and teens.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection is one of the essential keys to catching and fighting cancer. Many people do not know that one of the places cancer most arises is in the mouth. In our practice, we provide oral cancer screenings as a vital part of the dental exam. Without such screenings, most cases of oral cancer are not caught until it has reached the advanced stages, making a recovery much less likely. By locating areas of potentially cancerous cells earlier, we can better protect our patients and help them achieve a better, less expensive, and healthier future.

Dental Sealants

There are several spots in the mouth where decay and food particles are more likely to accumulate and damage the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. This is especially true when the little grooves of your teeth are shaped in a sharp “V” shape, making them difficult to really clean. Dental sealants can be used to “seal” these areas shut, leading to a more cleanable rounded “U” shape in the grooves and minimizing bacteria presence. Our dentists typically recommend sealants for younger patients who are still learning to care for their teeth or adults who suffer from excessive sensitivity to decay.

Digital X-rays

Our team will take digital X-rays to assess the health of your teeth both above and below the gum line. X-rays can help us diagnose a variety of dental health concerns, such as tooth decay, gum disease, oral cysts, and jawbone health issues.

What are the Benefits of Tooth-colored Fillings?

Unlike silver fillings, the tooth-colored filling materials contain no corrosive metals. Silver fillings can often cause the surrounding tooth structure to darken or turn gray, impacting the natural white look of your smile. The composite resin we offer can be shaded to match your tooth and does not cause discoloration.

What are the Benefits of Tooth-colored Fillings?

How Long Do Tooth-Colored Fillings Last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, your tooth-colored filling can last up to ten years. Be sure to schedule an appointment every six months to check the condition of your fillings. It is essential to brush twice and floss daily to maintain good hygiene and keep your smile healthy.
