Family and Cosmetic Dentistry - Dr. Robert P. Rothenberg

My office has been located in Manchester, Missouri since I graduated from Washington University Dental School in 1973. I treat patients of all ages from 6 days old to over 100 years old. My office is known for Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. My staff is well trained to handle patients of all ages. We can provide treatment that is strong, long lasting, good looking tooth-colored resitorations. It is very gratifying to be able to treat all members of the family with care, concern, and with no pain since I use the Waterlase laser for most procedures. The laser desensitizes the nerve of the tooth about 90 % of the time so that the patient can get the treatment comfortably, quickly, and painlessly.

All the restoration procedures done whether composite fillings or porcelain are tooth-colored so that the new restoration matches the adjacent teeth. No more black or discolored fillings! Cosmetic procedures provide some of the best type of dental care since the composite restorations are bonded to the tooth structure whether enamel or the inside tooth structure-dentin. Bonding is a process that seals the juncture of the material and the tooth so there is no gap between the two parts. That helps to prevent recurrent decay from beginning. Thus the tooth is stronger after the new restoration than it was before the restoration because weak tooth or decayed tooth has no strength.

Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is the best way to treat the whole family. Each patient gets a treatment plan that is individually planned after dental records are completed including x-rays as needed, visual exam of the hard and soft tissues, Velscope exam of the deep tissue layers to eliminate the worry of possible deep inflammation or pre-cancer, Diagnodent (laser) exam of the teeth grooves and enamel to look for invisible signs of decay, https://www.youtube.com/embed/YLgQRTgC8-w?rel=0, and video photos of the teeth are taken.
