The primary goal of Benassi Family Dentistry is to help you achieve and maintain excellent oral health for a lifetime. This goal is possible with our range of quality dental services and by keeping you well-informed about various dental treatments available to you.

On your first visit we will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth, gums and soft tissues to evaluate your dental health. We will also screen for signs of oral cancer. This preliminary work may include x-rays that are needed to accurately determine the condition of your overall oral health. A thorough check-up and examination is absolutely essential to come up with an educated diagnosis.

Once our dentist has studied your gums and teeth and reached a diagnosis, we will discuss a treatment plan that personally suits you. If treatment is indicated, we will try to restore optimum dental health in a few well-planned appointments. We recognize the value of your time. We at Benassi Family Dentistry will only recommend treatments that you need.

CEREC Systems

Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. Simply put, CEREC is a quick and easy way to restore damaged teeth. Patients who have tried CEREC find it very impressive, because the procedure takes no more than one appointment to complete.

After a thorough examination, a special camera is used to take a 3D image of the tooth that needs repair. CAD or computer-aided design software is then used to determine how ceramic material will be shaped to restore damaged teeth. Milling of the ceramic material is digitally controlled in order to ensure precision. Because the whole process is digital, errors are minimized even from the start! Restorations are specially made to suit the shape, color and size of a person’s tooth.

It is concerned with fixing and correcting the natural functionality of oral structures. It is a specialized area of practice because many dental conditions may require this procedure to some extent.

It is important that their first encounter sets a good tone to encourage the habit.

Teeth Whitening

Everyone dreams of having a great smile, and a big part of that lies in having a gleaming and pearly white set of teeth.

Our offices in Rockford and Winnebago IL specialize in teeth whitening. If tooth staining and discoloration is a problem you are currently dealing with, this is the cosmetic dentistry solution you need.

Hygiene and Gentle Care

Most patients are familiar with the traditional instruments that remove tartar build-up and bacteria. Here at Benassi Family Dentistry, we have a few other tools that pair well with those instruments. The first being an ultrasonic – this cleans by breaking down the tartar/calculus build-up and cleansing underneath the gum tissues with water and ultrasonic waves. The second is a prophyjet – this can be an alternative to traditional polishing. This “sandblaster” of sorts, is excellent at working around braces as well as removing staining. Lastly, we can utilize a low-powered laser when necessary to kill periodontal disease causing bacteria found under the gum tissues. No matter the case, we have the right tools.
