Dental Laser Scanners

The Laser Scanner Finds Miniscule Cavities Years Earlier

Have you ever had a dentist reveal a new cavity and place a large-scale filling, leaving you curious as to why the filling is so extensive if the cavity wasn't there on your last visit only six months before? The truth is it actually existed during your previous visit, but wasn't yet detectable on X-rays or with a visual inspection. Our doctors are excited to use a laser scanner to identify cavities in their earliest stages, at a time when they can be repaired with only a tiny, invisible filling. You won't ever leave our office wondering if the start of a cavity has been missed. We can discover cavities and take care of them before they become bigger problems.

Dental Health

What is Xylitol and How Is It Related to Reducing Cavities?

Twenty-five years of clinical testing have shown that xylitol is the healthiest choice available for a sweetener – both for your teeth and your overall good health. Dental associations in seven European countries have already endorsed its use in a variety of food and dental hygiene products. Typical sugars and starches generate an acid in your mouth that promotes decay. Xylitol is a natural substance extracted from certain fruits and vegetables that does not produce this decay-accelerating acid. It is so natural our bodies actually produce 5 to 10 grams each day. Research has also indicated it is beneficial to people who suffer from allergies. We recommend the use of products containing xylitol for fewer cavities and better respiratory health!

Custom Made Athletic Dental Mouthguards

Avoid the Knockout – with Custom Mouthguards

Annually, across the United States about five million teeth are knocked out as a result of traumatic mouth injuries. The truth is that many common sports activities are extremely hazardous to both teeth and jaws without a proper mouthguard in place. And let's face it, the one-size-fits-all mouthguards found in stores don't always fit right. A sloppy fit may prevent the intended protection and can actually interfere with proper breathing during exertion. On the other hand, a custom-made sports mouthguard fits appropriately, protects well, and can be utilized for any sport. The American Dental Association recommends the use of a custom-made mouthguard for use with most sports activities ranging from acrobatics to wrestling. In most cases, a custom mouthguard offers the most protection available for your money. Don't wait – protect your mouth today!

Children's Dental Sealants

Preventing Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!

Even the most careful brushing does not encompass all the back areas and unique contours of teeth. As bacteria and plaque increase, decay will happen. Even a miniscule amount of decay will need to be removed and filled, and for larger deposits of decay, a crown.

There is a procedure that can assist in reducing the probability of cavities – an application of a dental sealant. This treatment is simple and fast. No shots or drilling are required, so the process is also painless. The teeth are first cleaned and sterilized. A thin coating of a clear sealant is painted on the surface of each tooth. A curing light is then directed in the mouth to bond the invisible sealant to the teeth. The complete procedure takes only a few moments but can help to preserve children's and adolescent's natural teeth for life.

Dental Care for Seniors

Senior Dental Care is Different

Our teeth mature and decline along with the rest of our bodies. Even our previous dental work weakens and may fracture with age. Fillings may need to be replaced before cavities set in underneath and go undetected until the roots are damaged. We are alert to the dental concerns of seniors. Plaque may concentrate on the surface of teeth and lead to decay. We check for gum infection and are always watching our patients for the signs of this problem - red, swollen, or bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, as well as loose teeth.
After years of caffeine and tobacco consumption, teeth grow dull and need professional whitening to restore their original luster. Some medications reduce the necessary flow of saliva through the mouth, and we have products that will ease this complication. We promote good nutrition, daily hygiene, and routine check-ups to help your smile stay amazing and keep your natural teeth healthy for a lifetime.

Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

What's So Bad about Losing a Tooth?

No matter how you lose a tooth – gum disease, decay, accident or other trauma – you should know that without a replacement you may soon experience a host of other issues. Losing even one tooth can cause your other teeth to change position and ultimately alter the way you process nutrients from your food. You may suffer weight loss or gain, a sunken or wrinkled facial appearance, or even an unwanted change in your speech patterns. We offer dental implants that replace as many teeth as you are missing. Designed to blend with your remaining teeth, they look so natural that at first glance even a dentist will have trouble telling the difference.

Sleep Apnea Dental Treatment

Do You Find Yourself Falling Asleep on the Job?

If you're being treated for sleep apnea because you snore, fall asleep throughout the day, or have irregular breathing while you sleep, you may already be employing the CPAP device. Utilizing a mask worn over the nose and mouth, this machine provides a continual flow of air into a person's lungs while they sleep. Although it helps control the problems created by sleep apnea, it is bulky and frustrating to wear. As a result, patients stop wearing it.
If you have become disillusioned with your CPAP, we have a non-bulky alternative that is easy to insert and remove, packs lightly for travel, cleans easily, and has a success rate in over 90% of patients who use it. It looks like an orthodontic retainer, a small, acrylic device that slides over your upper and lower teeth. It works by realigning your jaw and tongue to permit air to flow into and out of your lungs. If you have set your CPAP machine aside, let us explain how this new device could help you.

Gum Disease Linked to Heart Disease

Gum Disease Can Contribute to Heart Disease and Even Stroke

Many patients believe incorrectly that gum disease is a minor problem. After all, it isn't as serious as developing heart disease or cancer. But recent medical studies have directly linked gum disease to several potentially fatal conditions like diabetes, stroke, and heart disease, which makes a gum infection a weightier issue than simply losing your teeth. The bacterial infection in your gums can travel throughout your bloodstream, affecting your vital organs. The American Academy of Periodontology has stated, "Studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases."
The American Dental Association believes approximately 80% of Americans have some level of gum infection in their mouths. For years dentists have considered gum disease an epidemic - and now the numbers bear out their belief that infected gums may add to potentially life-threatening condition.

Preventative Dental Care with Regular Checkups

The Importance of Hygiene Visits

Keeping your teeth as clean as possible is the key to good dental health. However, normal brushing won't always remove all the plaque, since it likes to cling in hard-to-reach back areas. When plaque hardens into tartar, regular brushing and flossing will no longer be effective. If it accumulates below your gumline, the chances for development of a bacterial infection increase dramatically, as will your odds for tooth loss and the risk of more serious health issues like diabetes, stroke, and heart problems. Having your teeth cleaned professionally is an integral step in keeping all of your teeth and gums healthy. So have your teeth cleaned on a regular basis and enjoy good health.

Gum Disease Treatment

The Primary Cause of Lost Teeth

Are your teeth moving around? Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? If so, do you know that these symptoms are the primary indicators that you may have gum disease? And do you realize that gum disease, not tooth decay, is why most people lose their teeth? Fortunately, if the infection is treated in the milder stages, it can be reversed with nonsurgical methods, which we have available. In fact, even if you've been instructed that you need gum surgery, we can assist you in halting and reversing the effects of gum disease.
