Crowns - Crowns can restore tooth shape, structure, strength, and function. Many materials are used for crowns, so how can you know which is best?
Eating - If you think an unhealthy diet increases the risk of becoming overweight, reduces energy, and weakens bones, you’re right. But poor eating habits also affect oral health. Do you want to reduce the time you spend in a dentist’s chair each year?
Flossing - You may not realize that even when your mouth is clean, bacteria lurk in the warm, damp cave, growing and eating incessantly. An extra two or three minutes spent flossing each day can give you a huge advantage in the war against those bad bacteria.
Gum Disease - It hides in your mouth, destroying gum tissue and teeth, and it can lead to strokes, heart attacks, and pregnancy complications. Don’t think it’s your problem? Conservative estimates report that up to 80 percent of the population unknowingly has gum disease in some form.
Dental Implants - If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants will improve your smile and your lifestyle. Dental implants look, feel, and function like strong, natural teeth because of a titanium anchor attached to the jawbone.
Invisalign - If you want straighter teeth without bulky metal braces, consider Invisalign®. A series of clear, removable aligners will reposition your teeth without the hassle and pain of traditional orthodontia.
Root Canal - You’d rather have a root canal! Root canal therapy is nothing like it used to be. Many patients even take a nap during root canal therapy.
Dental Sealants - Available for children and adults, dental sealants cover teeth to prevent cavities. Sealants fill the deep pits and grooves where bacteria and food particles hide.
Veneers - If you need to put the sparkle back in your smile, consider veneers. Chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth can be effectively masked with veneers, laminates, or Lumineers. Boost your self confidence and enhance your appearance with veneers because you deserve a reason to smile!
Women - Growing evidence shows women must maintain regular dental visits and an oral homecare routine throughout life to deter serious health problems.
