In our last blog, we mentioned that you should see your dentist before the end of the year. With November halfway over and the busy end of the year holidays just a few weeks away, we know that your schedule is going to be quite busy. When scheduling your last dental checkup of the year, don’t forget to book a cleaning and examination for your kids. The team at Advanced Dental Concepts in Auburn Hills, MI, offers checkups for your little ones to ensure they have happy and healthy smiles.
As we enter the second to last month of the year, now is a great reminder that you should schedule your biannual checkup.

In today’s blog, your team at Advanced Dental Concepts in Auburn Hills, MI, is here to talk about the importance of these appointments.
Recently, we have discussed several options that can help renew your smile after tooth loss. A dental bridge can replace several missing teeth in the same row, or dentures can recreate an arch of missing dental structures. While these options are great on their own, adding dental implants could provide more security to your smile. In today’s blog, the team at Advanced Dental Concepts in Auburn Hills, MI, is here to explore the benefits of implant-retained prosthetics.
In our last blog, we talked about how a dental bridge can help recreate your smile after tooth loss. This prosthetic option is fixed in place, meaning it does not need to be removed to clean or care for each day. While this can be a helpful option for many patients, some patients may have more progressive forms of tooth loss and may need other options to replace their missing pearly whites. The team at Advanced Dental Concepts in Auburn Hills, MI, offers complete dentures that can help replace your lost teeth and improve the functions of your smile.
When you lose a tooth, you may be faced with complications such as difficulty chewing certain foods, speaking, and experiencing a loss of confidence in your smile.

In today’s blog, your team at Advanced Dental Concepts in Auburn Hills, MI, is here to talk about some ways you may replace your missing dental structures.
