Patient #1

Posterior Composites (back teeth)

This series of patients shows posterior (back) teeth in which I have taken the silver fillings out and replaced them with tooth colored material which is made of composite. This technique is very conservative in that little to no tooth has been removed. This procedure can be used in place of a crown which has considerable financial savings to the patient. Please notice the difference between my finished composite in patient #1 versus a typical white filling done by someone else. The other patients are examples of the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I see Dr. Gruner?

As a general rule of thumb, it is important to see your dentist twice a year. However, for those who are smokers, have diabetes, or have gum disease it is highly recommended you come more often for a dental cleaning and exam.

I have high anxiety about seeing the dentist, even though I know I should. What are my options?

Dr. Gruner and his staff realize there are many patients who are timid about going to the dentist. For these patients with high anxiety we offer nitrous oxide sedation to make your experience here more relaxed.

My gums bleed when I brush my teeth, what does that mean?

If you have sensitive gums and they bleed when you brush your teeth, it may be a sign of gingivitis. Be sure to floss regularly remove the plaque from your gums and see Dr. Gruner twice a year.

I hear so much about gingivitis, what is it?

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums. This is just the initial stages of gum disease and very easy to treat. However, if left untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, a more serious gum disease. You can avoid gingivitis with daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular dental cleanings and exams.

What are my options if I am missing teeth?

There are a variety of options for our Jupiter patients struggling with missing teeth. If you are looking for a permanent option we offer bridges, veneers and implants. If you would like a removable option, we offer dentures and partial dentures.

How can I whiten my teeth?

Dr. Gruner offers patients with two types of teeth whitening, at home and in-office. It is also recommended that you try to avoid things that may discolor your teeth such as smoking, coffee and red wine.

I grind my teeth at night, should I do something about it?

Yes. We offer night guards and other options for patients who grind their teeth at night. It is important to take care of this before it leads to breaking and cracking of your teeth.
