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. The cosmetic benefits are enough to motivate many people to seek out replacement restorations for missing teeth, but there are additional benefits to consider. 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…)

The clear aligners you receive will be able to correct issues with spacing, as well as unattractive overlaps between teeth. That being said, one reason patients can prefer Invisalign over traditional braces is that Invisalign will not impact their appearance. The clear aligners provided to you can be discreetly worn, so your smile is not altered over the course of your correction. (more…)

A Dental Implant Can Improve A Prosthetic’s Functional Value
A dental prosthetic can improve your smile, helping you to look younger, and feel more confident. Can you find a prosthetic that restores your appearance, while also improving on your ability to bite and chew food? This is an important consideration. If you have experienced difficulties with your dental function after tooth loss, it can lead to problems with your jaw joints that can turn into TMJ dysfunction. You can also put excess strain on remaining teeth. Dental implants can provide the kind of stability you need to feel confident your prosthetic will hold up during basic dental functions. (more…)
Have Your Teeth Shifted After Earlier Orthodontic Work?
Many people who undergo orthodontic correction earlier in life can look forward to many years with an attractive, straightened smile. However, there are instances where a person might see their teeth shift back to their original, incorrect positions. If you are worried about how this shifting might have affected your smile, talk to your dentist about how clear braces can help. Invisalign and ClearCorrect are both able to make adjustments to your teeth, so that they can be brought back into their appropriate positions. However, unlike with traditional braces, clear braces can go unnoticed by others. You also have the ability to remove them when you need to, so that you can more easily clean your teeth, and eat.

A Dental Crown Can Provide Protection For A Damaged Tooth
If you tend to live an active lifestyle, an accident or injury could leave you with a damaged tooth. Of course, sometimes a particularly cautious person can have the misfortune of damaging a tooth simply by biting into something unexpectedly tough. If dental damage leaves visible damage, and impacts your ability to bite and chew, your dentist can supply you with a dental crown. A crown can make it possible to continue using that tooth to bite and chew, and it can be made to look like your natural tooth. With CEREC technology, you can have your custom crown made and placed in the course of just one appointment. (more…)
Why Tooth Loss Can Lead To Problems With Your Jaw
Obviously, tooth loss will create problems with your appearance. People who are missing teeth may smile less, and even change the way they speak in order to cover up absences. For many, this will be enough to justify taking action through the placement of a dental prosthetic. However, it would be wrong to assume that tooth loss only affects how you look. You can also struggle to bite and chew comfortably. Over time, you may experience problems with your jaw. Your compromised bite could lead to TMJ issues, which can hurt your quality of life. You can also begin to lose mass in your jawbone. To improve your smile, and protect your jaw, your dentist can talk to you about using dental implants to support the appropriate prosthetic. (more…)
