Gum disease can be a painful condition. But, we provide minimally invasive options to treat gum disease and keep it from getting worse. With the Perio Protect system, you can apply non-invasive trays that look and work similarly to removable mouthguards. A gel product that protects your mouth from gum disease is applied through the trays.

This is one way we can help you manage and improve your gum disease, without more extensive procedures.

Sleep apnea does more than just make you snore; it can also impact your quality of life and cause chronic health problems. Many people with sleep apnea don’t want to use CPAP machines, but, luckily, there are other options.

Dr. DeStefano provides oral appliances that help keep your airways open while you sleep. They are custom-made and much more comfortable to wear.

Even if you don’t have sleep apnea, snoring can still impact your sleep and impact those you live with. Dr. DeStefano also treats snoring with the same methods for treating sleep apnea.

With an oral appliance made just for your mouth, you’ll have a better night’s sleep, which can improve your life in many ways.

Sometimes, a tooth extraction is necessary. If a tooth is decaying, has significant trauma, or creates overcrowding in your mouth, removal may be a necessity.

Dr. DeStefano can remove your tooth and ensure a comfortable experience through the use of anesthesia and sedation dentistry. Then, after the tooth removal, he will find the right dental restoration to restore your smile.

If you have a cavity caused by dental decay, Dr. Thomas J. DeStefano provides composite dental fillings in Pittsford, New York. Made from a white material to better match your natural tooth color, this restorative treatment is one of the most commonly offered in dentistry. Call DeStefano Dentistry to schedule a visit with our dentist to learn more.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?
​​Here at DeStefano Dentistry, we have chosen to use composite, or tooth-colored, dental fillings to repair and restore your teeth. Composite fillings have many advantages over amalgam fillings, including:

  • Natural Appearance: Blends seamlessly with your teeth for a more attractive result.
  • Stronger Support: Bonds directly to your tooth, reducing the risk of fractures.
  • Enhanced Protection: Insulates against temperature changes and seals the edges to prevent further decay.
  • Healthier Option: Free of mercury and other metals for a safer treatment.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Promotes better oral health and durability over time.

When you receive a composite filling, our dentist will carefully select a shade of filling material that matches your natural tooth color. Your damaged tooth will then be thoroughly cleaned and any damaged tissue removed before the filling is placed. We will then cure, or harden, the filling and polish it to complete your treatment. You should be able to receive your filling in just one appointment.
