PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Our team is dedicated to providing gentle care at every visit. New patients are welcomed warmly and given thorough oral health exams in which Dr. Young and Dr. Morrow and his hygienists get to know the patient and their oral health concerns. As a family practice, we accept patients of all ages and pay attention to health histories to detect any dental problems and provide preventive care.

Because a patient’s overall health is important, SF Star Dental will not use amalgam fillings. Besides the long-term risks of Mercury in the mouth, amalgam fillings are not as durable. We utilize strong bonding techniques to keep a quality composite filling, inlay and onlay in place to protect and improve the strength of a patient’s bite.

As a part of our conservative care approach and focus on preventive treatment, we provide new patients with a gum stimulator and show them to clean the hard-to-reach areas between teeth while at home.

Periodontal disease is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don’t know it!
