Losing a tooth as a child can be an exciting moment, as your adult teeth are coming in and you may receive a visit from the tooth fairy. Losing a structure as an adult, on the other hand, is a much more concerning event. Adult teeth are considered permanent, meaning once they are gone, they are gone for good. This not only impacts your smile’s appearance, but your oral function as well. In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS dentist will look at the way implant dentistry can address these concerns in an optimal manner, completing your smile once more.
It’s Time To Restore That Shine
Dental decay may be the biggest threats to most smiles, but it is not the only threat. In fact, there are a number of factors and concerns that impact your grin, from the effects of bruxism and sleep apnea, to internal infections and more. While maintaining consistent preventive care and ensuring an optimally-functioning smile is a top priority, sometimes concerns can be minor in nature but cause your grin to appear off. In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS dentist will address circumstances in which your smile needs a touch-up and explain how a teeth-whitening procedure can help.
Is Daytime Fatigue Slowing You Down?
It goes without saying that for most individuals, the largest threat to the quality and function of their smiles involves trouble brought on by harmful bacteria, more specifically decay and infection. While this is considered the norm, there exists a population of individuals that experience a much bigger threat – that of sleep apnea and its impact on their health. In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS dentist will take a look at the effects of sleep apnea and what we can do to treat the disorder.
Addressing Tooth Loss From One Structure To Several
In last week’s blog, our team discussed the different ways we can address tooth decay as it progresses, from a dental filling to a root canal and finally resulting in extraction. While removing a compromised structure is certainly a priority once it progresses past the point of saving, keep in mind that even bigger problems may arise if you do not replace that missing tooth. In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS dentist will look at the ways we can restore your smile with prosthetic dentistry as decay continues to spread.
When Extraction Is The Best Option
Because oral bacteria are present in every grin, it is only natural that concerns such as decay, infection, and tooth loss are something to keep in the forefront of your mind. Indeed, having an understanding that excellent oral health care is a necessity is one thing, but actually putting that theory into practice is another. The correct balance of brushing and flossing at home, attending routine checkups, and paying mind to your diet plays a major role in accomplishing a lifelong smile, but falling short of any of the steps can result in the concerns listed above. In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS dentist will address what happens when you are not on top of your preventive care and how it may result in the need to extract a tooth.
Ways You Can Avoid Periodontal Disease
With today’s advanced technology, a number of cosmetic concerns be easily addressed with the use of whitening, bonding and contouring, and porcelain veneers. The same can be said about other types of concerns, but the number one way to prevent decay and infection from threatening your teeth is to stay on top of a regular preventive care routine, both at home and in-office. In today’s blog, your Overland Park, KS dentist will address the ways you can stay on top of your oral health, specifically through periodontal care.
