When teeth are too close together, they can overlap each other or sit at odd angles. This can give the appearance of crowding, and it can make it hard to remain confident in your smile. While issues with malocclusion are often addressed during childhood, adults can develop problems after their teeth shift, or because the arrival of their wisdom teeth pushed in their teeth. Your Sheridan, WY dentist’s office is prepared to help you if you wish to do something about visible crowding. Through the use of Invisalign aligners, we can gradually change the spacing of your smile so that your teeth are evenly aligned. Unlike metal braces, which are permanently bonded to teeth for the duration of treatment, Invisalign appliances can be easily removed at times when they might be in your way. You can also appreciate how difficult it is to see them when they are in place! (more…)
Tooth Decay Can Be More Harmful Than You Realize
Many people who work to protect their teeth from harm will still have at least one cavity in their lifetime. When decay becomes a problem, you should see to it that the matter is dealt with as soon as possible.

At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, patients who need to be treated for cavities can have their oral health restored with a lifelike dental filling or dental crown. By using materials that imitate healthy enamel, we can make sure that you complete treatment with sustained confidence in your appearance as well as a properly restored tooth! (more…)

For some, sensitivity issues can make every meal, and every day, less pleasant and more frustrating. So why are you struggling with this, and what can be done about it? There are several problems that lead to experiences with sensitivity. While some can be a consequence of natural enamel erosion or a change in your gum line, you can also struggle because of dental decay.

We Can Care For Your Injured Tooth With A Same-Day Crown
As a cavity worsens, the damage to your tooth can spread. Eventually, the harm will be significant enough to ensure that treatment with a dental filling is no longer an option.

At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, treatment with dental crowns is made more convenient for patients because we have CEREC technology at our practice.

Overlooked Oral Health Issues Can Lead To Serious Trouble
How bad can a problem with a cavity really be?

At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we are prepared to help patients when they show signs of poor oral health. When a problem is properly treated, the matter can be put to rest and any damage to a tooth can be restored.

Regain A Complete Smile With An Implant-Held Restoration
Once you lose a tooth, you can find that your confidence is shaken. You can also find that tasks like eating and speaking are more difficult, which can lead to further negative feelings.
