A cavity’s damage to your tooth structure is permanent, which makes proper restorative dental care important. You will need a permanently placed dental filling or dental crown to remain in place to keep your tooth safe from further infection, and to ensure you can bite and chew without problems in the future. At our Sheridan, WY dental office, we can make sure all decayed material is removed from a problem tooth, and set the appropriate restoration for you. In addition to making sure that your tooth is protected, we use lifelike materials to protect the look of your smile as well. While other practices require multiple appointments to restore a tooth with a crown, we have technology in our office that can allow us to complete your work in just one appointment! (more…)

How Can I Tell If TMJ Disorder Is Affecting Me?
While discomfort can be hard to avoid entirely, persistent discomfort can be a legitimate cause for concern. If you often feel uncomfortable moving your jaw while eating or speaking, if you frequently wake up with sore teeth, or if you often experience headaches, you could be suffering from TMJ disorder. This problem can result from any issue that affects the alignment of your jaw joints, or creates stress for the joints and muscles. At our Sheridan, WY dental practice, we can talk to you about correcting the problem by alleviating stress on your jaw. We can provide a custom appliance you can wear to feel more comfortable. We are also able to identify and address oral health problems that might have made you vulnerable to TMJ disorder. (more…)
Experience Better Support From An Implant-Held Restoration
The right approach to prosthetic dental work can mean more than just improvements to your smile and oral health. Thanks to the support from dental implants, it is possible to provide patients with restorations that allow them to feel more comfortable when they bite, laugh, speak, or chew! Implants provide better support for a prosthetic because they provide the function of a root for your replacement tooth. At our Sheridan, WY dental office, we can help you regain a better bite function, preserve a healthy jaw, and enjoy a revitalized smile by discussing dental work that relies on the use of dental implants to hold any prosthetic appliances you need in position.

A cosmetic bonding procedure can produce striking improvements, while limiting the amount of work on teeth. Your dentist will use a composite resin material to carefully cover visible flaws, and give your smile a more attractive overall appearance. (more…)

Cosmetic dentistry provides multiple approaches that we can take – our goal is to select the one that best serves your desires.
