This tooth had a deep cavity starting under an old filling. We used pink caries-detecting dye to easily see where the cavity was located. Next, we rebuilt the tooth and polished it so it looks and feels like we never did this procedure in the first place!
If you had a toothache back then, they’d have the tools to extract it! Does anyone else feel extra thankful for technology and innovation?
We want you to have a great experience so your friends and family will come see us too! Schedule your next appointment with us at coppdental.com.

Now that’s a strong bond! 😂 Have a great weekend!

No it was a root canal implant.
🦷 Here’s a crown replacement with a splash of biomimetics. This crown and its underlying composite broke, causing our patient pain when she ate with sensitivity to coldness. By the time the anesthetic wore off, the pain was gone.
We placed a rubber dam alllllll the way back to the wisdom tooth, removed the crown and broken buildup and cleaned up the crack in the tooth as far down as 5 mm from the occlusal surface. We then sealed the dentin and placed a biobase with everX composite over the Clearfil Majesty Flow resin coating, added an e.max crown and then bonded it into place.
Wishing all moms and maternal figures a happy Mother’s Day! We have no idea where we would be without you! ❤
Teamwork made this transformation work! Invisalign completed by Barrett Family Orthodontics and composites were bonded by us after.
We love hearing this and hope you will visit us soon. Schedule your next appointment at coppdental.com.

📷 Here’s some behind-the-scenes action for you.
Our team received hands-on training recently to learn how to properly use BioPak, a diagnostic system that measures muscle activity and stress in the jaw. The information obtained helps us diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), sleep disorders and craniofacial pain.
With technology like this, we’re able to provide even better care to our patients.
Big thanks to Shawna for participating!

Don’t wait for your teeth to hurt before seeing a dentist. In many cases, by the time you are in noticeable pain, it’s too late to treat a cavity or gum disease. To prevent this, make sure to schedule regular dental visits. Schedule your next visit at coppdental.com.

This was a deep lingual fracture underneath the old amalgam. Our plan was to replace it after the client finished Invisalign, but when it became symptomatic, we had to change course. Due to the combination of still being in Invisalign and the vitality testing being positive but weak, we decided to restore with composite for now and see how the tooth responds and heals while we finish Invisalign.
New plan of action: Remove the amalgam, chase the deep lingual fracture, extend and cover the lingual cusp in an effort to lessen tension on the compromised cusp. To make this happen, we utilized a combination of Ribbond and AP-X resin and then EvoCeram composite to restore the tooth. The best part? Not only does it look great, but the patient has been completely comfortable since. 🙌
Fluoride plays a key role in the health of your teeth. It helps prevent tooth decay by slowing the breakdown of enamel and increasing the rate of the remineralization process.
