Now
you have a choice. If you're unhappy with the way your teeth look, you
have new options! Let us show you how safe easy and affordable cosmetic
dentistry can improve the way you look and feel. While you may not be
able to prevent your reflexes from slowing or your hair from graying,
you can prevent your dental health from deteriorating. Call us today to
schedule an appointment.
When
Was Your Last Dental Exam?
If you can't remember or are not receiving regular dental care, please
contact us. Regular dental exams are a vital tool in the prevention of
painful or costly oral health problems. It becomes more vital as you age.
Fillings need to be checked periodically and replaced as needed, and regular
cleanings are necessary to remove plaque and prevent periodontal disease.
Just as you may increase visits to a physician's office, your dental visits
also may need to increase. We welcome new patients and urge you to call
us for a thorough exam.
Keep
Us Informed
When you do come in for a visit, it's important that you tell us if there
have been any changes in your medical history. A recent illness or change
in medication can lead to serious dental problems.
Longer life
expectancies and increasing use of prescription medications are placing
new stresses on the teeth and gums. Some drugs, such as those for high
blood pressure, dry the mouth. Even if you haven't had a cavity in years,
this condition can drastically increase your chance of tooth decay.
Trust
Your Smile to the Professionals
Factors such as old fillings, tobacco, coffee, teas and colas can cause
teeth to look dull and stained, a condition which can be corrected with
tooth whitening. This process involves applying a whitening solution or
gel to lighten the teeth. It's a safe effective procedure for some types
of tooth discoloration. This simple, easy procedure can be done at home
with supplies we provide.
Orthodontic
Care
Another option available to today's seniors is orthodontic care. For years,
no one has thought twice about using aids and glasses to compensate for
loss of hearing and vision, but more and more, older people are considering
orthodontic care to revive the beauty and function of their smiles.
With aging,
teeth tend to migrate forward, often causing crowding, particularly in
lower front teeth. This can lead to difficulty in chewing, and ultimately,
selection of softer, less nutritious foods. In addition, misaligned teeth
can create tension and pain in the jaw joints because of the excess stress
placed on chewing muscles. With the extraction of a single tooth and clear
bracket braces worn for a year, however, we've seen incredible changes
in patients' smiles.
