Senior Dental Care

Our Focus on Senior Dental Care

As we get older, we see the effects of aging not only on our bodies, but on our teeth as well. Fillings will loosen or a minute crack in a tooth will occur. The necessary flow of saliva may be reduced due to certain medications. Years of staining food and drink and even smoking have led to dull, yellowed teeth. And the build-up of plaque is a frequent problem with seniors, leading too often to gum disease or root decay. 

We recommend regular check-ups to keep on top of any of these conditions. We also advise patients to continue with essential daily dental hygiene and making nutritious and healthy food choices. If you experience bleeding gums or loose teeth, please contact us immediately.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 6

Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 5

Braces
While orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or invisible braces,î or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth.

Dental Relief from TMJ/TMD

Relief from Painful Problems from TMJ/TMD

You may already be aware that your headaches, migraines, jaw, neck, and shoulder pain could be the results of a dental malocclusion. When the jaw does not come together as it should, the effects of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD) may occur. Improper occlusion puts strain on the adjacent muscles, producing various types of pain. 

We can restore your bite to its correct position to relieve the associated problems. Don't wait any longer to ease your discomfort. You will be amazed at the new quality of life that will keep you smiling!

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 4

Bonding
Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or “bonds” materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.

Dental Sealants for Children

An Easy Way to Prevent Cavities

Even careful daily brushing can miss certain areas of teeth. As teeth are exposed to bacteria and acid, plaque will form. If left for a prolonged period of time, decay sets in. Any amount of decay is permanent damage that requires a restoration. 

There is a technique that can greatly help to prevent cavities. First, the teeth are cleaned and sterilized. A thin layer of the sealant is applied to the biting surfaces of teeth. With a curing light, the sealant is bonded to each tooth. And in just a few minutes, the whole procedure is complete. No shots, drilling, or tooth removal are necessary. 

This treatment has proven to be very effective in reducing cavities and helping children and adolescents keep their teeth for a lifetime.
