Taking care of your smile is a much more involved process than you might have initially imagined. While you may be aware of the preventive responsibilities required to promote appropriate oral health, it is important to recognize that there is also value in your cosmetic dental health as well. In fact, a person’s confidence and self-worth have been shown to be tied to one’s smile appearance, and nothing is worse than sporting a grin a crack away from perfection. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS dentist discusses the process of bonding and contouring, as well as how it helps address noticeable cracks or chips on the surface level.

Protecting your smile from every factor that poses a negative threat to your health is a daunting challenge to undertake, but it is one that is essential for maintaining a lifelong, healthy smile. Indeed, there are several factors that come into contact with your teeth and other oral structures throughout your life and, unfortunately, not nearly as many natural defenses to fend them off. For some, however, the issue may not be a significant infection, but rather, a surface-level stain. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS dentist discusses the value in cosmetic dental care and how teeth whitening can enhance your smile’s shine.
Taking care of your smile is a process that requires treatment from a number of sources. For example, it is important to brush and floss at home to keep plaque and tartar deposits from forming, just as it is imperative you attend your routine checkup and cleaning. What’s more? Even the foods and beverages you consume influence your smile in some manner, meaning your grin is not safe from virtually anything. Fortunately, dental restorations may be able to help.

Whether you are aware of it or not, taking care of your smile is a lifelong process that requires every bit of attention and energy as you are willing to put in. While you may be doing everything in your power to fend off threats such as plaque and tartar, bear in mind that your natural defenses are few and far between. As such, your at-home routine requires a bit more effort to maintain. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS dentist takes a look at situations in which a dental filling cannot help significant decay, and how root canal therapy may be your answer.
Tooth loss can occur in a number of ways, as well as be caused by a number of factors. Though routine preventive care can help provide extra protection as needed against a host of concerns, the fact of the matter is that it is no match for everything. Sometimes we require a backup plan in the form of dental restorations or prosthetics, and knowing your options is essential for care. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS dentist discusses the importance of addressing dental infections sooner rather than later and how a filling can help.
Dentures and dental bridges are both common tools to help you replace missing teeth. Filling in the gaps in your mouth after an extraction is important for aesthetic reasons, but it also benefits your overall health. Missing teeth can cause your jawbone to lose density which can have more drastic effects over time. Moreover, not having a full set of teeth can affect your chewing, leading to a decrease in the nutrients you receive from food. Regardless of your primary concern of missing teeth, you should act quickly. A dental bridge or dentures can get the job done in most situations. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS dentist talks about the differences between these two solutions and what situations warrant each one. (more…)
