Dentures Dentist

What Are "Traditional" Dentures?

We use this term to describe what most people think of as dentures. A full set of replacement teeth that can be placed in your mouth, and then removed, without any kind of anchor. A partial denture can be clipped on to existing teeth and fill the space left by missing natural teeth. Other options include overdentures, where dentures snap on to implants placed in the jawbone; bridges, which use crowns to hold the replacements in place for a couple of missing teeth; and dental implants, which can permanently replace one tooth or many.

Tips for keeping a beautiful smile!

Keeping your teeth clean, smooth and beautiful...
Proper oral hygiene is your key to a healthy, beautiful smile. Here are our and the American Dental Association's recommendations for at home care:

• Brush 2-3 times every day with a fluoride toothpaste (it doesn't matter which brand)
• Floss once a day
• Eat a healthy diet (fruits, vegetables, etc)
• Limit consumption of sugary foods and beverages. Soda drinks can destroy teeth faster than almost anything else
• Eliminate or at least limit use of alcohol, chewing tabacco, and cigarettes

We also recommend using an electric high-speed toothbrush in conjunction with a waterpik for your daily at-home oral care.

And don't forget six-month professional cleanings and checkups. The American Dental Association recommends checkups every six months for those ages four and older.

Professional cleanings by qualified hygienists will remove bacteria and plaque, which can cause serious dental problems if not kept in check.

If you have not been seen recently call our office for an appointment!

Dental Porcelain Veneers

Makeover Your Smile in as Little as Two Visits!

For misshapen teeth, unattractive gaps, or deeply discolored teeth, our porcelain veneers might be what you're looking for. This is quickly and painlessly adjusting crooked teeth so they look as if you've gone through years of orthodontics. Veneers are thin, but very durable, sheets of advanced dental ceramic. They are bonded to teeth in a way that makes them appear straight and uniform, creating your attractive new smile. Another common dental problem we see is chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth. Veneers can be applied to those teeth to completely conceal a chip or crack and reshape a worn or misshapen tooth. The veneer matches the color of the surrounding teeth and looks just like your natural teeth.

Having a plaque attack?

Plaque is that soft, sticky stuff that builds up on your teeth over time. It contains legions of bacteria. Left untreated it will eventually lead to gum disease, bad breath and tooth loss.

Frequent brushing and flossing are required to keep plaque at bay. But it's virtually impossible to remove all plaque without the skills of your professional dental hygienist. In other words, you're going to need some help.

Call our office today to schedule your next routine teeth cleaning to receive help with your plaque removal!
