One or more custom porcelain veneers could be used to offer your smile a much needed makeover, addressing multiple issues at once. In today’s blog, your Greenville, TX, dentist will explain how we transform the beauty of your smile, including the color and shape of each tooth, in just two visits.
Sculpting Your Tooth With Bonding And Contouring
Our last blog focused on how we use professional teeth whining to brighten stained smiles by multiple shades. But what if you have issues with the shape or surface of your teeth, such as chips or pits and grooves? In today’s blog, your Greenville, TX, dentist looks at how we sculpt your smile in one visit with bonding and contouring.
4 Ways We Brighten Your Smile
A number of different factors could cause teeth stains to form, from the foods and drinks we consume, to poor oral hygiene habits and even smoking. But what can you do to rid your smile of discoloration? In today’s blog, your Greenville, TX, dentist will look at four very different methods of removing stains and helping you enjoy brighter smiles!
We Can Restore Your Smile By Treating A Chipped Tooth
If you have a tooth that is even slightly chipped, it can cause you considerable embarrassment. Visible dental damage creates problems for the symmetry of your smile, and it can be a flaw that is conspicuous enough to make you uncomfortable smiling or speaking for fear of revealing it! At our Greenville, TX dentist’s office, we are prepared to treat problems with teeth that are chipped, cracked, or flawed in some other way. Our cosmetic dental services include dental bonding treatments, which discreetly fix flaws in your appearance without the need for permanent restorations. Before moving forward with any procedure, we can perform a careful evaluation to see if this procedure is the right one for you. (more…)
Keeping A Tooth Healthy After Cavity Treatment
By taking good care of your teeth on a daily basis, and being consistent with your routine dental exams, you can avoid the permanent dental damage caused by a cavity. Our Greenville, TX dentist’s office is prepared to help our patients stay safe against decay so that they can avoid problems that demand restorative dental treatment. Unfortunately, many people will experience at least one cavity in the course of their life, meaning they will have to have work done to return a tooth to good health. To complete a cavity treatment, a dental filling or dental crown will have to be placed on a tooth. When you continue to practice good oral hygiene habits, you can count on that restoration to stay secure and in good condition so that your tooth remains protected. (more…)
Dental Anxiety Can Become An Obstacle To Good Oral Health
The discomfort you feel at the idea of seeing your dentist can actually make you more likely to experience problems that require oral health care. People with dental anxiety may choose to avoid dental checkups. This makes them vulnerable to tartar buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. Over time, a cavity that forms and gradually worsens can start to cause significant discomfort and make root canal therapy necessary! At our Greenville, TX dentist’s office, we are proud to create a comfortable environment even for those patients who struggle with unease. Through dental sedation, we can keep you comfortable in the dentist’s chair, even when you come to us in need of more involved restorative dental work. (more…)
A Tooth-Colored Filling Can Provide Lasting Protection
If you need to be treated for a cavity, your dentist will have to do something about the portion of your tooth damaged by decay. For many people, that support will come from a dental filling. Fillings can limit the amount of work done on your tooth structure. Because the restoration only occupies the space where a cavity formed, the surrounding enamel can be left alone. At our Greenville, TX dentist’s office, we can actually provide a dental filling that blends in with the tooth. Once placed, it can be difficult to distinguish it from your healthy enamel. As a result, you can have a tooth protected without experiencing a change in your smile. (more…)
Learn More About Dental Implants Through A Consultation
If you have suffered tooth loss, you can have more than a little interest in learning how your full smile can be regained. As you look into your options for restoring your smile, you can start to learn of the benefits that dental implants provide patients. With the support of implants, restorations can remain in place even as you rely on them to bite and chew through the years. Our Greenville, TX dentist’s office is prepared to speak with you about implants, and we can help you understand what their role might be in restoring your smile. We can discuss treatment for you if you want to replace one absent tooth, or if you need to deal with multiple losses. (more…)
What Makes A Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
Many patients who go to see their dentist for cavity treatment will have their oral health issues addressed without the need for root canal treatment. If dental decay is caught in time, the treatment can involve nothing more than the removal of decay and the placement of a dental filling. The reason root canals are sometimes needed is that the procedure addresses problems with tooth infections. An infection will develop if a cavity is not caught in time. Eventually, bacteria will work their way to the central chamber of the tooth and damage the living tissues within. At this point, the health of the tooth will worsen until treatment is provided. Our Greenville, TX dentist’s office can provide this care, just as we are able to help you prevent these problems through routine dental exams. (more…)
A Same-Day Crown Can Keep An Injured Tooth Safe
Dental enamel is a remarkably strong substance, which is why tooth injuries are not a frequent issue even as we continue to wear them down by biting and chewing on a daily basis. With that said, problems do sometimes occur, and an injury can leave you with a serious oral health problem. Our Greenville, TX dentist’s office is ready to take on a problem with your dental well-being if you chip, crack, or otherwise hurt a tooth. Because we provide same-day dental crowns for patients, we can actually restore a problem with your smile in less time than you might think possible. These crowns are custom-made at our office, and they can be tinted in order to match your appearance. (more…)
