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. However, if the problem is with a specific tooth, it can point to the need for restorative dental work. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can provide the care that you require to put bite pain behind you. 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.

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.

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…)
