Laser dentistry involves lasers that are specifically designed to perform special functions while avoiding damage to the surrounding tissues. Currently, lasers are used within several areas of dental care. Lasers are used to diagnose and remove cavities. Lasers are used for curing, or hardening materials that are applied to your natural teeth. Several teeth whitening procedures, including BriteSmile, use lasers to trigger the whitening process. Lasers are used with periodontal, or gum related care. Laser dentistry can remove extra or diseased gum tissue. Dr. Nippoldt, St. Paul & Minneapolis cosmetic dentist uses this type of procedure with patients who are dissatisfied with a "gummy" smile. Lasers can help with recontouring or reshaping the gumline

Missing teeth can dramatically impact your overall health. When teeth are not replaced, the bone resorbs into your body and teeth start to shift. Your bite can change, creating TMJ problems and setting the stage for major dental problems. To prevent future dental problems due to missing teeth, dental implants can successfully help patients regain a great smile with a full set of healthy teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots attached to the jawbone for incredible strength and supplemented with artificial teeth designed to look and feel like natural teeth. Choosing to replace teeth with dental implants can have positive effects on your dental health, including preventing vital bone loss, restoring healthy bite function, and possibly eliminating the need for bridges or dentures. Dr. Hayashi, Modesto, California Implant Dentist can improve your smile and your confidence with natural-looking dental implant

Natural tooth-colored fillings were created as an alternative to traditional metal dental fillings (or Amalgam fillings). Tooth fillings that are colored to look like a natural tooth are known as Composite Resin Dental Fillings and are made of a plastic dental resin. Composite Resin Dental Fillings are not only strong, durable, and offer a more aesthetically pleasing result, they avoid the use of mercury found in traditional metal fillings. Dr. Sands offers tooth-colored fillings to his patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California.

Neuromuscular dentistry addresses the relationship of the relaxed muscles of the jaw, head and neck to body posture. Thirty years of research and clinical experience have shown the neuromuscular technique to be effective in treating people with various levels of head and neck pain. Many people suffer from unexplained pain in their face, jaw, or teeth, sometimes referred to as Myofacial Pain Dysfunction [MPD], and are not sure of the origin of their condition or how to solve it. You may have heard of other terms that describe this condition such as Temporoman-dibular Joint Disorder [TMD], Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome [TMJ], or Craniomandibular Dysfunction [CMD]. Chicago neuromuscular dentist Dr. Simos offers a no cost consultation to discuss your concerns .

Porcelain fillings have proven to be stronger and more effective than their metal counterparts, and the end result is more appealing. Patients no longer have to deal with the unsightly dark fillings in their mouth, since the new porcelain fillings can be matched to the natural color of your teeth. Metal fillings have been found to contain up to 50 % mercury, and for safety reasons, we choose to avoid the potential risks for our patients. At Nu Smile Center For Aesthetic & Restorative Dentistry in Sacramento, dentists replace any problematic old metal fillings with a new, more durable porcelain filling.

Whether it’s a cause or an effect, teeth clenching and grinding creates tension in the muscles that do the clenching and grinding. Over time, that tension builds up and the muscles can go into spasm. If that happens, they can pinch the nerves nearby. When the nerves are pinched that run down the arms and into the fingers, it causes tingling and/or numbness. The neck and shoulders are directly connected to the muscles and nerves of the jaw area. If you have chronic neck and shoulder pain, San Ramon neuromuscular dentist Dr. Anderson will be glad to listen to your concerns, and answer questions.
