If you’ve been told you have a cavity, you may be wondering what your treatment options are. At Mateo Dental, we use composite (tooth-colored) fillings to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage, keeping your smile seamless and healthy. Composite fillings are considered a safe and widely used dental material. They’ve been trusted in restorative dentistry for decades and are an excellent option for many patients.

Many patients experience some degree of dental anxiety, whether it’s about a specific procedure, the sounds of the office, or simply sitting in the chair. That’s why Mateo Dental offers nitrous oxide sedation, also known as laughing gas, to help you feel calm, comfortable, and at ease during your visit.

Technology is reshaping nearly every part of healthcare, and dentistry is no exception. One of the most promising tools to emerge in recent years is artificial intelligence (AI). At Mateo Dental, we use Overjet AI, a system designed to help dentists analyze X-rays more precisely and consistently. Understanding how the technology works can help you feel more informed about your care and confident in the accuracy of your diagnoses.

Your first visit to a new dental office can be nerve-racking, and that’s completely normal. At Mateo Dental, our goal is to make your first appointment as comfortable, thorough, and informative as possible. We want you to leave with a healthy smile and a clear understanding of your oral health. Here’s what you can expect when you become a patient at Mateo Dental.
