If you’ve lost a tooth or several teeth, you’ll know how the resulting gaps in your mouth can change your appearance – and not in a good way! Dental implants can restore your self-confidence by transforming your smile. Before dental implants, people with missing teeth had to depend on dentures or bridges that could result in embarrassing mishaps, doing little in allowing you to show off your smile with assurance.
Everyone has that moment when they have had enough of their misaligned teeth. For some, the constant jaw pain has just become too much. For others, it may be an aesthetic reason that they decide to talk to a dentist who offers orthodontics, like our dentists do at Fine Dentistry of Downtown Orlando.
If someone you know refuses to step inside a dental office, you may think their attitude is based on groundless anxieties, but to them, their fears are likely to be all too real. Some people may have mild concerns about a dental visit but for others this apprehension can become a mental health condition called odontophobia (dental phobia).
Gum disease is a serious problem that can result in tooth, bone, and soft tissue loss, and affect other parts of the body. It begins as gingivitis – inflammation of the gums which generally occurs when a film of bacterial plaque accumulates on and between the teeth.
Implants and dentures can work together to provide a highly effective and permanent solution to tooth loss. Dentures are custom-made in a dental lab from impressions taken of your mouth and are typically used when several teeth or all the teeth are missing. There are two main types of dentures: partial dentures and full dentures.
Today's cosmetic dentistry procedures are non-invasive, almost always painless, and quite effective.
So, the time has come, and your dentist has uttered the phrase you’ve been dreading the most, “You need a root canal”. If you’ve never had a root canal before, you’re probably wondering what this means and have a plethora of questions you can’t seem to get answered fast enough.
Are you dissatisfied with the appearance of your teeth? Perhaps you find yourself covering up your mouth when you smile or talk? If so, cosmetic dentistry could help, brightening your smile so you can talk and laugh with the confidence of knowing your teeth look great.
A smile makeover combining different dental cosmetic treatments can boost your self-confidence by ending the embarrassment of unsightly teeth.
If you’re thinking about getting orthodontic treatment for yourself or your teen, Invisalign provides an alternative to traditional braces.
