Receiving A Crown Made With CEREC Same-Day Crowns Technology
CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology makes it possible for you to receive your dental crown in the course of a single visit to your dentist’s office. Your dentist will have the resources required to undertake the entirety of the crown construction and placement process. The first step will involve taking measurements.

Your dentist can take the measurements and design a custom-made crown that is produced via a milling machine in their office, then place the crown over your tooth. (more…)
Address Tooth Loss To Lower Your Risk For TMJ Problems
Tooth loss can make it harder to feel comfortable or natural when you bite and chew food, and it can certainly affect how you look. What you might not realize is that leaving tooth loss unaddressed can actually raise your risk for TMJ dysfunction. TMJ dysfunction refers to problems with your jaw joints that can lead to routine pain in your face, neck, and head. Your jaw movements can also become more difficult. By receiving a dental implant, you can enjoy a stabilized restoration that you can use to more comfortably bite and chew. You also enjoy additional benefits, including a means of avoiding jaw deterioration. (more…)
Quiz: Understanding How A Dental Implant Can Help You
If your smile is incomplete because of tooth loss, your oral health can be left at a real disadvantage. The effect on your appearance can be obvious, but tooth loss will also lead to functional problems. Finding it harder to bite and chew comfortably? Over time, that discomfort can lead to problems like TMJ dysfunction. You also face a higher risk of losing more teeth. One particularly concerning problem that can take place over time is jawbone resorption – your jawbone can start to lose mass, because it is losing minerals due to the loss of a tooth root. A dental implant offers you a chance to have a smile that feels whole again – in addition to improving how you look, and your ability to bite and chew, this prosthetic support possesses the unique ability to stop jawbone resorption.

Your Crown Should Offer Full Support For Your Tooth
A dental crown made of ceramic can be an effective cosmetic solution for a problem tooth, but the restoration is also meant to be of functional value. The presence of a dental crown should not impede how you bite into or chew food. Without that total protection, you can struggle to enjoy regular jaw function, and that can lead to issues with your jaw. If you have an issue with your crown – either because of damage, or if it becomes loose without apparent cause – let your dentist know. Your tooth will always need support, and losing that support can call for intervention from your dentist. (more…)
Strategies For Reducing Your Risk Of Losing Teeth
Our bodies change in myriad ways as we age. However, with proper care, we can limit the negative effects we fear from aging. Putting a proper emphasis on your oral health needs today can help you avoid tooth loss later in life. Did you know that the most common cause behind adult tooth loss is poor gum health? The effects of advanced gum disease can lead to tissue damage that takes away support from our teeth. With good periodontal care, you can stop an infection from developing, and becoming a menace to your smile. If an infection is not treated in time, it can become impossible to reverse. Regular checkups with your dentist can protect you by making sure you aware of problems with your teeth, and your gums, earlier in their development. (more…)
Protection Against Jaw Problems After Tooth Loss
Tooth loss can affect your oral health in several ways, and some of those effects might surprise you. One problem many patients encounter is an issue with the health of their jawbone. Losing a tooth means that your tooth root is no longer providing stimulation to the bone. The absence of that stimulation can lead to a loss of minerals, and to deterioration. Unfortunately, this can still occur for patients who have a dental prosthetic put in place. Of course, when you secure your prosthetic with a dental implant, you can count on the implant to bring back that stimulation, and prevent this issue (known as jawbone resorption) from arising. (more…)
Restorative Work That Dares To Care About Your Smile
Restorative dental work is necessary when you suffer tooth decay – unfortunately, our teeth cannot simply repair themselves. By using a ceramic dental crown, your dentist can ensure that your smile still looks the way it did before your cavity, even with the presence of a restoration over a tooth. Ceramic crowns are popular with patients because they can mimic the appearance of teeth, and still hold up to the necessary demands placed on them when you bite and chew. Because your dentist has CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology on hand to produce your crown, you can enjoy the benefit of a life-like crown that only takes a single visit to construct and place. (more…)
Protect Yourself Against Tooth Loss
Tooth loss can deal a significant blow to a person’s confidence, and seriously undermine their oral function. We often associate healthy teeth with good health overall – the absence of teeth can hurt a person’s appearance, and make them appear less healthy. The functional disadvantages can make life more difficult whenever you attempt to chew, bite, or speak. While good oral care may not improve your luck enough to ensure you never lose a tooth in an accident, it can make it easier to protect yourself against tooth loss caused by poor oral health. If you have suffered tooth loss, a dental implant can support a replacement tooth, and help you regain dental function, and show off a complete smile. (more…)
