Zap Away Tooth Decay with Laser Dentistry

Posted March 7, 2017

Zap away tooth decay with laser dentistry. With lasers, precision oral health treatments can be given safely and accurately to improve and enhance your smile. Lasers have been around since 1994, but have been experiencing a surge of popularity in the dental community, specifically for teeth whiteners, which have boomed in recent years.

Teeth whitening treatments can be found everywhere these days, including your local grocery store. However, many of these products go unregulated and thus may contain ineffective ingredients, or potentially harmful ones capable of destroying tooth enamel or bleaching your gums. With professional teeth whiteners, you can have a treatment applied directly from the hands of an experienced dentist. Lasers are often used in professional whiteners to activate the gels on your teeth safely and effectively.

Lasers are also used to prepare teeth for dental fillings and root canal therapies. If any tissue or bacteria needs to be removed or zapped away, lasers can do the job effectively. If gum tissue needs to be removed and used for a cancer biopsy, one of the easiest ways to accomplish this is with the use of a laser.

Your Teeth and Dental Implants Will Get Along Perfectly

Posted February 28, 2017

Your teeth and dental implants will get along perfectly. Despite the unlikely marriage of artificial and natural teeth, it is possible to blend them seamlessly by customizing dental implants to your tooth color, shape, and structure. With a small tweak or two, we can ensure not only will you have a wonderfully new functional implant that will be as effective in its functions as a natural tooth can be, but it will also look natural too. Look below to see some other benefits that implants can provide:

– Dental implants are much more form-fitting and are considered by many patients to be much more comfortable than dentures.
– Some tough to chew foods such as steak can easily make dentures slide within your mouth, but dental implants hold fast, making these foods much more enjoyable and easier to eat.
– Due to a method called Osseointegration, the bone-implant integration can grow to support and hold the implant tight.
– Dental implants can fill out the natural shape and structure to your face lost by missing teeth.
– Without teeth or implants held in place, your jawbone can weaken and deteriorate over time.
– Your gums that hold teeth in place can cause shifting and movement to neighboring teeth when a gap is not occupied from a lost or missing tooth.
– A full-toothed smile is much better received in most social settings, which will also enhance your self-esteem and boost your self-image.
