A dental filling does something important for your tooth after a cavity is removed. Unfortunately, we are not able to simply heal from decay when a cavity develops. To protect your enamel, your Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can place a restoration in the space where damaged tissues and bacteria had to be removed. By putting the filling in place, we protect you against the infiltration of bacteria into this space, and we provide support so that your tooth can continue to absorb bite pressure. Our practice offers dental fillings and dental crowns that are capable of imitating healthy tooth structure. Because of this, you will not have to worry that people can spot your filling, and that its presence will effectively change the way you look. (more…)

Why You Should Speak To Your Dentist About A Toothache
Even if you feel confident in your oral health, you should consistently see your dentist for regular preventive oral health care. Without these checkups, you lose protection against tooth decay and gum disease because you no longer undergo professional teeth cleanings. You also miss out on regular reviews from your dentist. When people go without preventive care, they are more likely to experience complications from problems that they initially overlooked. An active toothache or other problem with your dental well-being is definitely something you want to bring to your dentist’s attention. Your Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can evaluate your smile, determine what condition your tooth is in, and provide the appropriate restorative care! (more…)
We Offer Same-Day Crowns That Match Your Smile!
Is it really possible to receive a dental crown that is ready in one appointment AND a good visual match for your smile? It is important that a crown be the right shape and size to fit over your tooth. A restoration that fits poorly can be uncomfortable, it can cause problems for neighboring teeth, and it can be harder to keep in place. Because of this, custom crowns are provided when patients have dental issues to address. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we use technology in the office to carefully measure teeth, create digital models of custom restorations, then produce them in our milling machine! In addition to making crowns that are the right shape and size, this technology produces restorations that are made with ceramic material that can actually imitate the color and texture of your healthy tooth enamel.
