Will Your Prosthetic Make Biting And Chewing Easier?
When people imagine their life with a dental prosthetic, they may dwell more on the cosmetic advantages, and think less about the benefits for their oral health. Restoring your incomplete smile can also have a positive impact on normal tasks like biting, chewing, and speaking. Restored dental function can have several positive benefits. If you have found yourself limiting what you eat because of a limited dental function, your diet may have suffered, which can hurt your overall health. Improving your ability to bite and chew can mean a fuller, healthier diet. You can also avoid creating pain in your jaw because you have to bite and chew awkwardly. Dental implants can ensure that your prosthetic is stable enough to deliver these functional advantages. (more…)
Should You Trust Invisalign To Fix Your Teen’s Smile?
If your child shows signs of poor dental alignment, your dentist can recommend a point where you should consider starting orthodontic treatment for them. Because this can take place during teen years, when kids are especially sensitive about their appearance, your child may be interested in Invisalign treatment, or treatment with ClearCorrect. Using these clear braces systems, and not metal braces, will mean that their appearance will be less impacted. In many cases, patients can see results from clear braces that match the kind of outcome you can expect from traditional braces. Clear braces can also be beneficial because patients can remove their aligners whenever they need to. (more…)
Receiving Dental Implant Support For Your Prosthetic
A dental prosthetic can give you back your smile, which will lead to you looking healthier and more attractive, and feeling more confident.

With dental implants to support them, your prosthetics can offer notable restorative dental support, too. Implants can create better stability, making it easier to bite and chew food, while also supporting the health of your jawbone. Many patients will qualify for this kind of support, which can make a significant positive difference to your smile, and your oral health. (more…)
Addressing A Cavity With A CEREC Dental Crown
Restorative dental work is only effective when it ensures that your tooth has the support it needs to stay healthy, and stay functional, after your treatment. In cases where your tooth is affected by a larger cavity, particularly one that has caused internal problems, significant support can be needed. A dental crown can cover your tooth completely, and help you feel comfortable using it to bite and chew. This is important, as dental fillings are not always strong enough to help a tooth recover after decay. Because your dentist has access to CEREC technology, your smile can be restored in less time when you need a crown. (more…)
