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…)

Addressing Smile Changes That Occur Over The Years
Will your smile start to change as the years pass? You may notice a difference between your smile today, and the smile you see in older pictures, due to natural wear and tear over time.

You can also notice that wear and tear has changed the shape of certain teeth.
