The Power of Dental Imaging
In medicine more so than anywhere else, knowledge is power.
The more your dentist understands about the problems that are ailing you, the
more accurate his or her diagnosis will be and the more effective the treatment
will be. Fortunately, modern dentists are equipped with a remarkable array of dental
technologies, most of which are designed for the express purpose of
providing your dentist with the clarity he or she needs to most effectively
treat your condition.
With high-tech dental
imaging your dentist can:
- Take digital X-rays that minimize your exposure to radiation while getting crisp, clear images of your teeth and jaw
- View better images of your bones
- Evaluate your vulnerability to TMJ/TMD
- Design more effective treatments
Exciting new developments in the field of dental technology
are changing dental practices for the better. New communication
systems allow your dentist to give you a clear picture of what your teeth
will look like after your procedure, providing you crucial insight that was not
available in the past.
While new technologies are advancing the frontier of dental
science, it’s the skill and capability of your dentist that will make your
experience a pleasant one.

A Valuable Bond
Dental problems can range in severity from relatively mild
to quite serious. As a result, there are some cosmetic
dentistry procedures that are more appropriate for problems of a certain
type. If you have some small, relatively simple cosmetic issues, your dentist
might recommend dental
bonding.
Dental bonding is usually appropriate for patients dealing
with problems like:
- Decayed teeth
- Small chips in teeth
- Small cracks in teeth
- Crookedness
- Gaps between teeth
- Stains that can’t be addressed by teeth whitening
Part of the reason dental bonding is popular with many
patients is that it’s a simple procedure that requires little preparation work.
A resin that matches the color of your teeth will be applied to the appropriate
area. Then, your dentist will use a light to harden the material.
And that’s it. Your procedure is finished. Dental bonding
usually takes just one visit, and requires no anesthesia. It’s painless.
Dental bonding lasts between three and 10 years and can be
maintained using the same basic tenets of dental hygiene that your dentists
have been explaining your whole life. Just avoid chewing or biting any hard
objects and you should be satisfied with your dental bonding experience.
Ask your dentist if you have any dental
bonding questions.

The Advantages of Teeth Whitening at the Dentist’s Office
We all want whiter teeth. After all, we understand that a
bright, photogenic smile is a tremendous advantage in our day-to-day lives, and
what does more for your smile than whiter teeth?
When considering teeth
whitening, you have a few different options. But your primary choice is a
simple one: should I get my teeth whitened by my dentist at his office or
should I opt for over-the-counter, at-home treatments?
Many people are intrigued by the apparent convenience of
at-home treatments, and this is understandable. However, the fact remains that
teeth whitening at your local cosmetic
dentist’s office is almost always a superior option.
Put simply, teeth whitening at your dentist’s office is more
effective than the at-home kits you can buy at your local drug store. Because
big companies have to mass produce their teeth whitening products with a mind
toward making them attractive for a large audience, they cannot customize their
treatments for your specific needs.
As a result, while you might get some superficial whitening
on the front of your teeth from at-home treatments, you won’t get the thorough
whitening experience you want.
By contrast, your dentist will be able to customize your
tooth whitening for your unique requirements. He or she can design whitening
trays that are built for the specific purpose of giving you a thorough whitening.
Further, your dentist has access to whitening technology
that is more advanced than what you get over the counter. And it’s safer to
rely on the skilled, experienced hands of your dentist for your whitening.
If you are interested in home
whitening, talk to your dentist before making any purchases. He or she will
be able to give you advice, and most dentists offer take-home kits as
supplements to an office whitening.

No Need for Scare Tactics When it Comes to Dental Implants
A dentist in Norcross, Georgia recently found himself in hot
water as a result of a billboard he placed advertising his dental
implant practice. The billboard contains two pictures: one, a shot of a
mouth that’s nearly empty of upper teeth, and a second, showing the same mouth
with a full set of glittering white dental implants.
Unfortunately, the billboard was erected across the street
from a local daycare. School administrators complained to the billboard
company, who in turn contacted a local news station for help in reaching the
dentist. The dentist apologized and had the billboard removed.
Advertising in the modern media environment is tough, but
fortunately we don’t need scary pictures to make the case for dental implants.
The fact remains that they are excellent options for treating the serious
problems that can arise from missing teeth. Those problems include:
- Increased risk of losing more teeth
- Difficulty chewing and eating
- Bone loss
- Affected speech
With strong, durable dental implants, your local dentist can go a long way toward minimizing your risks of facing these problems. Dental implants will give you a healthier mouth.
They’re also excellent for addressing your cosmetic
dental concerns. Nothing can mar a smile quite like missing teeth. Dental
implants can give you a bright, photogenic smile you’ll be proud of.
