Are You Tired Of Tooth Loss Affecting Your Bite Function?
Tooth loss makes it difficult to bite and chew in a way that feels natural. For someone who is just missing one tooth, the solution to this problem can seem obvious – just avoid putting pressure down at the site where your tooth was lost. Unfortunately, this change in your bite function can have an unwelcome effect on your oral health and jaw health. It can lead to a change in your joint alignment that leads to TMJ disorder, and it can cause you to unintentionally overuse your remaining teeth, making them more vulnerable to problems. Finding a comfortable way to bite can become even more difficult if you are missing multiple teeth. Your Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can help you regain a confident smile and restore your bite by providing you with prosthetic dental work! (more…)
Is Flossing Currently Part Of Your Daily Smile Care Routine?
Poor oral hygiene habits make it difficult for you to prevent problems with the buildup of plaque and tartar, and they make it hard to avoid possible issues with tooth decay and gum disease. Are you currently doing enough to keep your teeth healthy and problem-free? Many people fail to see how a lack of consistent flossing is putting them at risk for problems. When you do not floss on a regular basis, you leave the spaces between teeth vulnerable to the accumulation of harmful bacteria and food debris. In time, this can lead to problems with unsightly tartar formations as well as issues that require professional dental services. At our Sheridan, WY dentists’ office, we can provide important preventive dental services during your routine appointments, but you should make sure your daily routine is keeping you safe from trouble between visits!

Receiving A Same-Day Crown For A Vulnerable Tooth
A tooth becomes vulnerable when it is physically injured or damaged by dental decay.

Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can actually make treatment with dental crowns more convenient, because we have technology that lets us produce same-day restorations! Through the use of CEREC technology, we provide custom restorations for patients after just one appointment. These crowns are designed to closely imitate healthy tooth enamel, and they will be shaped and sized to fit securely. (more…)
Picking A Teeth Whitening Procedure That Fits Your Schedule
Are you eager to show off a brighter, whiter smile but unsure of how you can fit a professional whitening procedure into your schedule?

For those who prefer to schedule a treatment in the office, we can arrange a single-visit procedure to address teeth stains.

Will A Dental Bridge Restore Confidence In Your Smile?
Your smile can look and feel so different after tooth loss that you wish to keep it hidden from view.

Fortunately, your Sheridan, WY dentist’s office is prepared to restore your smile if you are currently bothered by a missing tooth.

Using Invisalign To Deal With Poor Teeth Spacing
The way your teeth are spaced affects more than just your appearance. Poor alignment can certainly be a cosmetic concern. When there are noticeable gaps between teeth, or when you have teeth that overlap in awkward ways, you can have a difficult time smiling with real confidence. What you also need to be aware of is the impact that poor spacing can have on your bite function and oral health. Straightening your teeth can help you if you struggle with TMJ disorder because of a flawed bite. When you have teeth that overlap in awkward ways, fixing the problem can help you have an easier time preventing trouble with tartar buildup in harder to reach spaces. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we provide our patients with the option of Invisalign orthodontic treatment. By using Invisalign appliances instead of metal braces to correct smile flaws, you can have a less difficult time adjusting to your treatment and feel more comfortable with your smile throughout it!

3 Smile Flaws That Veneers Can Address For You
