The habit: Your teeth were made for eating, not to stand in as a pair of scissors or hold things when your hands are full. When you do this, you put yourself at a higher risk of cracking your teeth, injuring your jaw or accidentally swallowing something you shouldn’t.
The solution: Stop and find something or someone to give you a hand. Your mouth will thank you.

Gum Disease Is Harmful to Your Health and Teeth
It's important to know how harmful gum disease is to your health and smile. Infected gums are the number one reason for tooth loss, and this bacterial infection has been connected to other effects on your health as well. Common symptoms are shifting teeth or bleeding gums while brushing. There may be no signs until the problem is advanced and severe. This may mean surgery to keep your teeth. During the earlier stages of the infection, nonsurgical methods work very well to reverse the problem, so we advise, at the first signs of infection, to come in to our office.

Hygiene Visits are Recommended
Please take our recommendation to have your teeth cleaned by our hygienist on a regular basis. Having any build-up of plaque and tartar removed will not only give you fresh breath and a clean and pleasing smile, it will help you to keep your natural teeth and lessen the chances of serious health conditions developing. Even if you are meticulous about cleaning your teeth every day, there are areas that are often missed or hard to reach that allow plaque and bacteria to form. Our hygienist will carefully inspect your teeth to ensure all areas of your teeth are once again very clean.

A Quick-and-Easy Smile Makeover
Veneers provide a uniform and attractive smile in as few as two visits! What looks like years of orthodontic treatment can be achieved in less time than you ever thought possible. Our porcelain veneers are very durable and will conceal or correct the problems of gaps, crooked or misshaped teeth, and severe staining and discoloration. They bond to your natural teeth to create that perfect smile you've always wanted.
Veneers can also be the solution for a chip or cracked tooth. They are applied to the remaining tooth structure to give you a natural-looking tooth that will blend with your other teeth, as the color of the veneer can be matched extremely well.

Dental Implants Give You a Complete Smile
Whatever the reasons you have missing teeth, dental implants are a permanent solution for all the problems they can cause. They look very natural, as they come up through the gums just like real teeth do. The new "tooth" is placed over a titanium post inserted into your dental arch (either here in our office or by an oral surgeon we trust). Whether you have lost teeth in the front or back of your mouth, implants will provide an adequate replacement for chewing and give you a beautiful smile. Dental implants are also a solution for denture wearers. Implants will release you from the worries of slipping and tilting and allow you to eat whatever foods you choose. No longer will you have to take your dentures out at night.
