Experience An Invisalign® Shift

Posted by

Invisalign® grinnell st sheridan wyWhen your smile just does not look the way you want, it can make every day a little tougher. One of the most prevalent problems related to oral health appearance is misalignment, which happens when your teeth aren’t spaced properly throughout the mouth. It’s something that is highly common, yet sometimes, people shy away from talking to their dentist about treatment. But with clear aligner therapy from Invisalign®, patients are reaching their goals without having to share their process with the rest for the world.

Tracking Wisdom Tooth Development

Posted by

Tracking Wisdom Tooth DevelopmentWhen you (or your child) reaches the latter part of adolescence, there is something that you need to pay attention to. We’re talking, of course, about the development of wisdom teeth, which can become a serious problem if ignored. These are the last teeth that humans grow, and when they come in, they can push existing teeth out of alignment. The simple truth is that for many of us, our mouths are just too slim to fit them safely. So, it’s important to keep an eye on them.

At our neighborhood office at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, our team understands the value of tracking wisdom teeth development. These molars are evolutionary holdovers from a time when we needed more chewing power, and sometimes, they can cause more problems than they are worth. The first step in safely navigating wisdom teeth development is sticking to your schedule of checkups, as digital x-rays provide an excellent way to track them. Don’t put off your dental visits while you’re in your teens and early twenties.

Those final teeth can cause real oral health issues. See where you stand with a visit to Grinnell Street Dental.

When You Lose A Filling, It’s Time To Talk

Posted by

lose a filling sheridan wySometimes, a broken tooth isn’t as huge deal at the time. But if you’ve managed to lose one of your fillings while flossing, then you’re ready to talk to your dentist about making an appointment. Because when you wait to restore a cracked, chipped, or broken tooth, the area becomes a serious smile liability, as bacteria can make their way inside the tooth, where there’s a lot of soft tissue where they can make their home.

When you need to talk about your next oral health steps, meet with Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY to develop a plan. We work with people to find real smile solutions, and we use contemporary dental technology to do it. At our office, we proudly offer CEREC milling in office, which speeds up restoration time and helps our patients to experience a safer smile in record time. So, if you’ve broken, cracked, or even chipped one of your natural teeth, spend a little time at the dentist.

Your smile is less safe when you lose the protection of your enamel. Schedule a time to talk about your restoration options.

Ready To Ask About Invisalign®?

Posted by

If you’re tired to seeing crooked teeth whenever you smile, it’s time to talk to your oral health team about your goals. Misalignment can lead to bacterial buildup that’s tough to remove on your own with regular brushing and flossing, which can lead to cavities, periodontal problems, and more. Other people can also tell when your smile is not at the level it needs to be, so reach out to your dentist to explore your orthodontic options, including effective Invisalign® clear aligners, which work in a more private way.

Here at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, we help people to find their way to a smile that brings them joy. So, if you’ve been thinking about making a change to yours, start with your next checkup; if you still have not been in for one in 2025, then you are due for a cleaning and examination. And while you’re in the office, take the time to talk to our team about your next steps to see if they include clear aligners.

Reach for a straighter smile with a private process. Explore Invisalign® with Grinnell Street Dental.

Spend Some Time On Your Smile

Spend Some Time On Your Smile sheridan wyWhen you wake up in the morning, do you find yourself with a sore jaw? If so, that could be a sign of a common sleep disorder called bruxism, and if so, it can really hold your oral health back.

If you’ve been struggling with your jaw, take a minute to meet with Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY to talk about your next moves.

If you are ready to refresh your oral health, start with a visit to Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY.
