If you are missing one or more teeth, you likely feel constantly self-conscience causing you to avoid smiling or showing your teeth as much as possible. Smiling has a major effect on our emotional health and can directly effect our well being. It is as important that you feel confident in your smile as making sure you are taking steps to proper dental hygiene to stave off infection of the gums or teeth.

Luckily, filling the gap of a missing tooth is a relatively quick and easy process with Dental Bridges. Generally they are able to be fitted and applied in just two appointments, so it’s an ideal procedure for those wanting a solution that doesn’t involve prolonged time in the often dreaded dental chair. There are three different types of bridges which your doctor and you will decide upon and they generally last anywhere from 5 to 7 years.

If every time you look in the mirror all you can think about is regret- regret for sliding around on your socks in the kitchen after you Mother told you not to, and then cracking your front tooth, regret for those 3 cups of coffee you require each morning to keep up with your kids and get through your meetings, regret for being born into an otherwise lovely family with a stubborn gap tooth gene- then it’s time to stop regretting and start doing something about it!

Veneers are a terrific way to solve issues like cracked, stained or slightly uneven teeth and unlike braces which can up to a year or more to complete treatment, Veneers can be created, fitted and applied in a more timely fashion.

We invite to you to learn more about Porcelain Veneers! Still have questions? Contact our office today to schedule an appointment and find out if Veneers may be the right answer for you.

Leander Invisalign Orthodonticts

For men and women with crooked, misaligned, or overcrowded teeth, teeth with large gaps, people with under bites or over bites, the best source of treatment may be through orthodontics. What is orthodontics? Orthodontics is a way of correcting irregularities in your teeth to create a better aligned smile.

Braces have long been used to help in correcting the alignment of teeth in both kids and adults. Metal braces are still the most powerful tool in moving teeth which need to change a great deal. In recent years, however, the new kid on the block, Leander Invisalign has been making great strides in helping people achieve a better smile through an almost invisible treatment- something many patients find much more ideal. Invisalign may not be the right treatment for everyone and metal braces or other treatments may still need to be considered to give you the best results possible.

Having straight teeth is important not only for aesthetic reasons, but it makes it easier to clean and take care of your teeth. Oral hygiene is especially important as you are receiving orthodontic treatment, particularly where metal braces are concerned. Make sure you understand how to take care of your teeth so that when treatment is complete you have a perfectly aligned, healthy set of teeth!

Crystal Falls Dentures

jen — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 21:26:30 +0000

Losing teeth can be a traumatic experience both physically and emotionally. Our smiles are an important part of our appearance and personality. When loss of teeth is inevitable, often patients turn to Dentures as a replacement. Dentures are created to resemble your natural teeth and smile and can be made as a complete or partial set if not all the teeth are missing.

While today’s Dentures are very strong and durable, they may need to be remade, readjusted or have repairs. The initial process of getting dentures typically involves several weeks of appointments in order to get the proper measurements and impressions made to create the most accurate and custom fit denture possible. You want the dentures to be the right color, shade and fit for you so you can smile with confidence and eat with ease. To learn more about Dentures and to find out if they may be the right option for you, contact our office to schedule a consultation.

Symptoms can include chronic headaches, neck pain, tooth sensitivity, and jaw tension or locked, stiff jaws. Over 60 million people are suffering from it on a daily bases. What is it? It’s temporomandibular joint syndrome, better known as TMJ. TMJ is caused by your upper and lower jaws being misaligned which creates tension and straining in your jaw muscles.

TMJ is treated through neuromuscular dentistry. Our dentists use the relaxed position of the muscles in your neck and head to place the jaw into an optimal healthy-functioning position. The exact course of treatment will vary from patient to patient to cater to each patients individual needs, but TMJ treatment has been incredibly successful in alleviating some to all of the tension and pain most TMJ patients suffer.
