Incredible implants offer flexible smile solutions
Dental implants have proven themselves time and time again since they were invented in 1952. In the beginning, many people associated them with space-age technology and considered them out of reach for ordinary people. Today, an implant can be used to immediately replace a tooth lost by a young athlete, for example. This is without a doubt the best way to minimize bone loss, the shifting of teeth, and the emotional trauma associated with an altered appearance. Dental implants look natural, can help maintain a more youthful appearance, and they are so versatile that they can be used in combination with other restorative techniques - at any age!
Here are some of the ways that dentistry can improve your smile using dental implants.
Individual implants can replace one or more missing teeth. Because it's created just for you, we can match your natural tooth enamel, tooth size, and shape, while cosmetically enhancing your smile.
If you have a number of adjacent teeth missing, implants can be used in combination with a bridge. Both restorations are so natural looking, they're virtually undetectable.
Implants can be used to secure specially modified dentures to improve your appearance and your ability to eat and speak with comfort.
One if today's many dental implant options cold provide the dental solutions you're looking for!
Set A Great Example
Quit today!
Did you know that exposing your child to cigarette smoke could cause cavities or delay development of their permanent teeth? Or that chewing tobacco can cause oral cancer? If you quit smoking or using tobacco, you will also reduce your risk for cavities, gum diseases, tooth loss, emphysema, all cancers, and heart attack and stroke.
Tobacco users actually cost others, as well. Second-hand smoke is harmful and health care costs families and governments. Every cigar or cigarette represents hard-earned money going up in smoke ... and along with it, opportunities for other pleasures and experiences.
Nicotine is very addictive but you can kick it ... and you'll smell great, look younger, and smile more too! And you won't be the only one to benefit: most smokers start very young, so you can set a great example.
Unhinged By Pain?
Could be TMD!
Your temporomandibular joints - the two joints that are located in front of your ears and that hinge your jaws - are quite impressive. They can move side-to-side, back-and-forth, and up and down ... all at the same time! They get a lot of use every time you bite, chew, speak, swallow ... or grind your teeth.
Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or an improper bite can contribute to teeth and gum pain as well as discomfort like popping, clicking, jaw tenderness, and headaches. Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is the official name for a host of symptoms that arise in part because of the proximity of these joints to many nerves, muscles, connective tissues, and ligaments.
Experiencing signs of TMD? Dentistry may have a solution.
