Root canal treatments offer important aid to a tooth. The process involves your dentist accessing the pulp of your tooth, so that an infection within can be removed. Your pulp will be cleaned and sealed after this happens. At the conclusion of a root canal treatment, your tooth will need to be restored with a dental crown. Thanks to CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, it is possible to have that crown made – and placed – in one visit. Your tooth will be measured, to ensure a proper fit. CEREC Same-Day Crowns provides your dentist with the resources to take those measurements, design the tooth, and produce it. (more…)
Are Dental Implants Safe For Older Adults?
Older adults who have left gum disease untreated can face a real risk for tooth loss. While this is not the only reason a person can lose teeth, it is the number one cause for adults.

When Advanced Gum Disease Causes Tooth Loss
How much of a factor is your periodontal health when you consider your oral health? The condition of your gums has a consequential effect on your teeth.

This can build to the point where complications from advanced gum disease can cause you to lose teeth! In fact, gum disease is the most common cause of tooth loss – the problem can be addressed more easily early on, but it can become difficult to treat when it has time to advance in severity. If you have experienced tooth loss because of gum disease, your dentist can help you restore your smile by providing dental implants. (more…)
CEREC Same-Day Crowns Crowns Mean Your Tooth Is Restored Sooner
Receiving a CEREC Same-Day Crowns dental crown means enjoying a dependable dental restoration in one visit. The crown will be made of ceramic, which means it will have a more realistic look than a crown made from a metal material.

With those measurements, they can use CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) to have a crown produced from a milling machine located in their office. Once produced, it will be ready to place that day, meaning your tooth is now protected, and your oral health is restored. (more…)
Quiz: The Effects Of Tooth Loss, And How To Address Them
What should you expect to deal with when you have a lost tooth? The immediate impact can be an increased self-consciousness about your smile. However, other problems can develop over time. You can have a harder time when you try to eat certain foods, and you may even find it impacting how you speak. A deterioration of the jawbone can occur, because the roots of teeth provide stimulation that helps send nutrients to your jaw. If you are after a means of addressing this range of issues, a dental implant can be an ideal solution. An implant-supported replacement tooth can eliminate functional issues, and restore your appearance. It can also help address jawbone deterioration, something other dental prosthetic options are not able to help with. (more…)
How A Dental Implant Keeps A Replacement Tooth In Place
Stability matters when it comes to your replacement tooth. In order to use your prosthetic as if it were a regular tooth, it needs to be strong enough to take on the pressures placed on it, and firmly set enough to keep its position. You can enjoy a stable dental prosthetic that does not interfere with neighboring teeth by receiving a dental implant. A dental implant is fitted into your jawbone directly, and the bone will actually fuse to it over the course of healing. (more…)

The Link Between Dental Implants And Jaw Health
Tooth loss can certainly affect your smile, and it can alter how you eat, speak, and chew your food. What you might not be aware of is how it can affect the health of your jawbone. Normally, your jawbone is stimulated by the roots of teeth, and that stimulation calls for the delivery of nutrients, to keep the bone healthy. However, when a tooth root is gone, the surrounding bone can deteriorate. What is unique about using a dental implant to support a prosthetic is that the implant actually addresses this problem. While other prosthetic types do not help take care of your jaw, the implant can take away the risk of deterioration. (more…)
