A Trustworthy Dentist with a Minimally Invasive Approach
With a sense of humor that will keep you smiling throughout your entire visit, Dr. Fullington is the optimum choice to be your Yukon Family Dentist.
A unique marker of our dental practice is our commitment to minimal invasiveness. Basically, that means we opt not to overtreat. Oftentimes, dentists can cause more harm than good by over-drilling, Any tooth drilled into will likely need further work within a span of 5-7 years due to human-made materials deteriorating over time. Subsequently fillings might then end up being larger, as the old filling needs to be extracted and fresh enamel has to be bonded.
Alternatively, by monitoring the area before resorting to fillings, we sometimes observe that the tooth re-mineralizes naturally.
We opt to drill only when fully necessary. When Restorative treatments are necessary, we discuss all the restorative options such as composite fillings, porcelain inlays or onlays, crowns, etc.

Cavity Treatment & Fillings
We don't rush to drill, but when fillings are necessary whether it be a result of cavities or some other form of damage, we use a tooth colored composite resin to treat & restore damaged teeth.
Dental Crowns
A fixed prosthetic device that fully covers the visible portion of the tooth and restores its shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance.
Inlays & Onlays
For dental damage that is too severe for fillings but not advanced enough for a full dental crown, we may recommend an inlay or onlay(overlay) as a more conservative solution.
Root Canal Therapy

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Regular dental check-ups are crucial. It's recommended to visit the dentist every 6 months for preventive care and early intervention. This routine helps maintain good oral health and prevents future dental problems.
Around the age of 3, a smear of fluoride toothpaste can be used for brushing. Once your child reaches 3-6 years old, a pea-sized amount is appropriate. It's crucial to supervise and teach proper spitting to prevent swallowing.
Though some dental issues are simply a result of genetics and not a result of any external factors, there are some things that everyone should do to help keep their teeth in optimal form.
- Manage meal and snack frequency
- Promote thorough brushing and flossing
- Steer clear of sticky foods Minimize starchy food intake
- Encourage swift swallowing, discouraging food lingering in the mouth
- Opt for nutritious snacks
- Consider having a dentist apply sealants to deeply pitted teeth
