Each of these options is affordable, effective and nearly painless.
If you suspect you have gum disease or are certain of it, do not panic. There are several treatment options available. Our oral health professionals are here to gauge the extent of your gum disease and pinpoint the optimal treatment approach. The severity of the gum disease and the type of gum disease ultimately determine which treatment is best. Here is a quick look at the most common treatments for those who have gum disease.
Are your teeth crooked or improperly spaced? If so, you should not have to suffer in silence. Help is available at our dental office. Invisalign aligners straighten those crooked teeth with translucent aligners somewhat similar to a traditional retainer. Invisalign shifts teeth into position in 12 months or less. In fact, results can be seen as early as nine months. The best part is this is not a one-size-fits-all solution for wayward or poorly-spaced teeth. Rather, each Invisalign aligner is custom-made for each patient's unique mouth. This teeth-straightening solution is invisible and fits nice and snug above the teeth for optimal comfort.
If you have heard of dental implants in passing or do not know anything about these artificial teeth, you are not alone. Dental implants are a fairly recent advancement in dental technology that replaces missing or damaged teeth with those of the artificial variety. These artificial teeth look and feel real. Perhaps more importantly, dental implants allow you to eat food of all different types with ease. If you are missing one or several teeth or if your teeth are badly damaged, you should consider dental implants.
If you have missing teeth, broken teeth or teeth with other significant flaws, it might make sense to replace them with dentures. Though dentures will cost some money, it is better to spend on these artificial teeth than rack up one dental bill after another with a series of restorations. Furthermore, placing dentures in your mouth will reduce the number of trips you have to make to the dentist's office. Here is a closer look at the merits of dentures.
Gum disease, also referred to a periodontal disease, occurs when bacteria within plaque accumulates along the teeth and gums. Plaque is a film void of color that grows throughout the mouth. If gum disease is not treated, the resulting inflammation can lead to the deterioration of the gums and supportive bone. The gums might recede and it is even possible to lose teeth. Furthermore, gum disease appears to be tied to additional diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Let’s take a look at what you can do to prevent gum disease.
If you have a little one in your home, you should bring him or her to a pediatric dentist as opposed to an adult dentist. Pediatric dentists have the training, expertise and dental equipment necessary to treat youngsters’ mouths in the safest and most effective manner possible. Don’t assume your regular adult dentist will suffice for your toddler’s dental treatment. The experience and know-how of pediatric dentists are essential for comprehensive dental examinations, cleanings, and even early restorations.
Are you satisfied with the look of your smile? If you are even slightly disappointed with the color of your teeth, it is time to consider the merits of professional teeth whitening. There is a stark difference between DIY teeth whitening performed at home and professional teeth whitening performed at the dentist’s office. Ask patients who have tried both methods about the results and you will find they overwhelmingly testify in favor of the professional method. Professional teeth whitening really can turn a flawed or deeply stained smile into one that impresses.
Over the course of time treatments in the field of dentistry have improved to such a great extent with the introduction of new products and technology that have made it possible to improve one’s smile. People usually opt for the most convenient orthodontic treatment option when it comes to choosing between the traditional dental wire braces or the Invisalign clear aligners. To decide which option is right for you it is essential that you learn a little bit about how they work in aligning the teeth and the care that is needed for both.
