Reasons To Change Your Oral Hygiene Routine
How can you tell when you need to make changes to your current approach to oral hygiene? One obvious warning sign is a recent problem with tooth decay or gum disease. However, that is not the only warning that you can receive when you stay consistent with oral health exams. In the course of cleaning your smile, your hygienist can alert you to concerns about accumulated plaque and tartar buildup that point to shortcomings in your daily efforts. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can offer guidance when appropriate, and we can also step in and take care of active problems that need to be resolved in order to restore your oral health.

Learning About Dental Bonding Services
If a “small” problem affects your smile, it can be hard to feel at ease with your appearance. Unfortunately, the presence of a flaw that affects a tooth can cause real disruption to your overall appearance, as our smiles tend to be among our most prominent features. Does this mean that the only way you can feel comfortable with your smile is to have an involved dental procedure to fix the issue? Cosmetic dentistry can certainly help, but you can be surprised at how much good a conservative treatment can do. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can recommend that you have dental bonding work done to cover a flaw that affects a tooth. By approaching your care in this way, we minimize changes to your enamel and deliver results in as little as just one appointment! (more…)
Reviewing Your Teeth Whitening Options
As long as you feel self-conscious about the color of your smile, it can be difficult to find the confidence to show it off in pictures or social gatherings. Even if your teeth are healthy, problems with accumulated enamel stains can make them look less attractive, and they can create the impression of poor oral hygiene. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can provide teeth whitening treatment options that will help you move past these kinds of concerns. With the ability to recommend both in-office treatment and the use of personalized kits that our patients take home, we can make these services surprisingly convenient! We also provide other options for cosmetic work that can help when you need to address intrinsic discoloration. (more…)
Receiving A Filling That Preserves Your Smile
There is an unfortunate truth about cavities—once you have one, your tooth will experience permanent damage. The harm that occurs is limited when you seek treatment in time, but the cavity’s effect on your enamel is not something you recover from through natural healing. To keep your tooth safe and prevent complications, it is necessary to place a permanent restoration. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can provide both custom fillings and crowns that protect teeth while preserving the way they look. When it comes to treating patients with dental fillings, we can do work with a composite substance that imitates and also bonds with their tooth structure. (more…)
Receiving Your Same-Day Crown
In times where cavities require more support than fillings are meant to provide, or dental injuries require more than just cosmetic care, our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office will rely on dental crowns to provide lasting care. While it may not be hard to find a dental office that is prepared to restore your tooth with a crown, what you can find is that many locations make you schedule at least two appointments to have this work done. Our practice is different because we have CEREC technology that makes same-day crowns available to the people who visit us. With this technology, we can make sure that your tooth is taken care of in just one visit! (more…)
Regain A Cold Sore-Free Smile
If you have a history of problems with cold sores, you can be aware of just how intrusive they are, but you can find it difficult to adjust to their impact on your life. Their development can be uncomfortable as well as embarrassing, and one that becomes infected can create real concern over your well-being. To treat them effectively, our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can provide care with lasers to fight the microbes responsible for their formation. This can shorten their lifespan and even prevent eruption, and it can reduce your risk for an infection. Treatment can even prevent the development of a new sore in the same area. (more…)
Behaviors That Protect Your Teeth And Gums
Are you practicing the right behaviors to keep yourself safe from oral health threats like tooth decay and gum disease? One way to protect yourself is to set up regular preventive dental appointments. When you do so, you ensure that you will have regular feedback from your dentist, which includes early warnings about trouble with decay and gingivitis. Our Sheridan, WY dental practice is happy to provide ongoing reviews as well as thorough teeth cleanings. While these visits certainly matter, you should do your part to protect your smile by keeping up with effective brushing and flossing habits. (more…)
Appliance Therapy For TMJ Disorder
Is it time for you to worry about the persistent feeling of pain or sensitivity in your jaw? The longer this problem goes on, the more concerned you can feel about what it says about your oral health. You can also find that your pain is worsening, and that it is accompanied by joint stiffness, headaches, and a tendency to grind your teeth. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can help you move past your issues by recommending TMJ therapy. With a custom oral appliance, we can ease tension and improve movement by correcting trouble with your joint alignment and movement. (more…)
Using Aligners To Straighten Teeth
As long as your teeth appear to be awkwardly spaced, you can have a difficult time feeling truly comfortable with your appearance. Difficulties with smile spacing can be addressed with a surprisingly conservative approach to orthodontic work. Rather than spend an extended length of time with metal braces, our Sheridan, WY dental practice can recommend that you begin an adjustment with Invisalign appliances! With these clear aligners, you can move teeth that are out of position with minimal impact on your appearance, and without having to make adjustments to your daily life. Because this is only one of several procedures we offer that can make lasting smile improvements, you can rely on us for support if you have different concerns about your appearance. (more…)
