Are You Doing Enough To Fight Plaque?

The daily work you put into caring for your smile will help you fight plaque buildup, something that will help you reduce your risk for problems with tooth decay as well as gum disease.

Simply put, you should be committed to effectively fighting plaque buildup on a daily basis. In addition to doing this, you should take advantage of the general dental services that are available to you. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can provide important teeth cleanings in addition to reviews that let you know if you have any active oral health problems that must be treated. (more…)

Protecting A Tooth After Cavity Treatment

When cavities form, they will cause permanent harm to tooth enamel. Because of this, restorative dental work has to address the damage in a way that keeps a tooth healthy as well as strong enough to provide bite support. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can both remove decayed tissues and provide protection through the placement of dental fillings and dental crowns. Each option will provide you with coverage that successfully matches your healthy enamel. They also provide the kind of stability needed to make biting and chewing comfortable. While many practices require at least two appointments to place a permanent crown, we should note that our office can complete your care in one visit thanks to the CEREC technology we use to produce these restorations.

Reasons To Consider A Same-Day Crown

There are different reasons why people need teeth restored. While cavities are a well-known cause of concern, oral health services also address damages from physical trauma, gradual wear and tear, and harm from teeth grinding. In some cases, treatment can take place to address a tooth that is naturally misshapen or undersized in ways that hurt its ability to provide adequate bite support. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can provide positive results through treatments with dental crowns. Our practice provides restorations that both match your tooth’s appearance and provide welcome bite support. We can even shorten the time that it takes you to see your desired results, as we have the technology to have these restorations ready after just one visit! (more…)

Problems Resolved Through Implant Dentistry

There are few problems with your smile that can have both the cosmetic and health effects of tooth loss. The cosmetic impact can be difficult to hide, especially when you have lost a front tooth. Even if the problem has less impact on how you look, it can deprive you of bite strength, leave you more vulnerable to TMJ problems, and increase your risk for losing more teeth! Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office is ready to help you take care of this issue. One approach we can recommend calls for the restoration of a dental implant with a lifelike prosthetic tooth. Implant dentistry helps you in several ways. It can provide enough support to let you bite and chew with your restoration, it can support neighboring teeth, and it helps to preserve your jaw health.

A Discreet Fix For Poor Teeth Spacing

A smile that is free of health problems is something you should be happy to show off. With that said, our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office understands that cosmetic issues can sometimes take away a person’s confidence even when they have no issues with their oral health. One reason for concern is poor teeth spacing, which can cause gaps, awkward overlaps between teeth, and general discomfort with the way you look. There are different solutions available to you if you want to do something about this problem. As an alternative to work with traditional braces, we can recommend that you use clear aligners for a set period of time to make adjustments. We can also discuss the option of hiding flaws with porcelain veneers. (more…)

Seeking Care For Ongoing Bite Pain Issues

If your trouble with dental pain or sensitivity “only” affects you when you bite and chew, how concerned should you be? More than one issue can take away a person’s confidence in their dental function. If your trouble is with jaw pain and stiffness, or if you have related issues with headaches, facial pain, and neck and shoulder discomfort, what you are experiencing can point to TMJ disorder.

To make sure your oral health needs are fully met, we can look out for problems that might be contributing to your TMJ disorder and treat them as well as your trouble with joint alignment and movement.
