The Benefits Of Dental Implants
A dental implant is an option to replace a missing tooth. In this procedure, a small titanium shaft is surgically implanted into the bone and allowed to set. The bone grows around it forming a tight connection, which additionally slows or stops the bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is missing. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, the dentist then works to attach the replacement tooth onto the top of the shaft. This permanent solution has the advantages over bridge work that it does not stress the surrounding teeth for support, and, should the tooth wear out, another can simply be replaced on the shaft.
Implants can also be used as support as part of an implant bridge. This is an alternative to partial dentures, and has several advantages. First, there is no adjustment period to acclimatize the patient who, once the work is done, only feels teeth, not metal supports intruding into the mouth. Second, this slows the bone loss occasioned by missing teeth. Third, there is no discomfort or difficulty in eating. And, best of all, of course, they don't have to be taken out all the time.
We also offer mini dental implants. These implants are about half the diameter of traditional implants are used mainly to stabilize lower dentures. These implants can be placed in one appointment and be immediately used. The cost is 50-70% of standard dental implants.

4 Minutes A Day Will Help To Keep Decay Away
Proper tooth brushing in the morning and at night will help protect your teeth and gums from decay and disease. Here are simple instructions for brushing your teeth daily, once when you awaken and once before bed(2 minutes each time).
Now Let's Brush...
1. Apply a thin strip of toothpaste on your premoistened toothbrush.
2. Start your brushing with the upper molars (back teeth)and focus on the front surface of the tooth. Brush in a clockwise direction giving each tooth attention. Hold the toothbrush parallel to your teeth so they are resting slightly below the gumline. Apply gentle pressure to the bristles, so they are slightly bent. Gently move the brush in a circular motion for approximately 20 brush strokes, or roughly 10seconds.
3. Once all your brush strokes are complete, roll the bristles away from the gum tissue in a gentle sweeping motion.
4. Continue the above steps until the front of all your upper and lower teeth have been fully brushed.
5. To clean the inside surfaces, repeat steps 2 to 4 for the upper and lower premolars and molars. Then to clean the inside of your front teeth take the tip of the toothbrush, and in a flicking motion, direct the toothbrush from the gumline toward the end of the tooth. Repeat 2 to 3 times.
6. Gently brush your tongue and the inside of your cheeks.
7. Finish by rinsing with water or mouthwash.

Beautify Your Smile With Veneers
Are you looking for a natural-looking, bright & white smile? If you are, Veneers may be the perfect solution. Veneers are thin, custom-made moldings that cover the
fronts of imperfect teeth. They are made from tooth colored, high-tech materials, which result in a very natural looking, beautiful smile.
Veneers provide a solid alternative to the traditional crown. They can easily cover gaps and can mask teeth that may be stained or misshapen.
Veneers offer numerous benefits, including:
- Durability, lasting for many years
- Will not change color over time
- Individually sculpted for each patient
- Stain Resistant
- Very natural looking in appearance
- Relatively simple procedure for application

A smile is one of the most noticeable qualities when looking at another person. Of course we all know that inner beauty is the most important beauty, but everyone knows that we are all judged initially on our outward appearance.

8 Simple Steps To A Healthy Mouth
Step 1Brush your teeth at LEAST twice a day. It is much better if you can fit in three times daily, and the absolute best is to brush as often as possible after you eat anything. That one is hard for most of us, but you see the goal is to brush as often as possible, and the more you can create a habit of brushing at certain times, the better you will be about not missing any.
Step 2
Floss every day! It is very easy to do, and only takes a couple of extra minutes.
Step 3
Use a flouride rinse after brushing. I know some people are nervous about using flouride, but dentists still recommend it strongly. Also consider using an anti-plaque rinse before brushing.
Step 4
See your dentist every 6 months, or at least every year. Don't put it off! If you are scared of the dentist, remember it will be much harder on you if you put it off, as there will likely be more problems found, and more work to be done. There are many dentists who cater to scaredy-cats, so look one up!
Step 5
Talk to your dentist about added services, such as special coatings that can further prevent tooth decay and plaque.
Step 6Don't drink soda!!!! This is REALLY BAD for your teeth, not to mention the empty calories overall. Diet soda is just as bad for your teeth: don't fool yourself. The proven results are that orange soda is the absolute worst, but any soda is bad. If you still want to drink it, at least cut down, and don't brush your teeth for at least one hour after drinking soda, as that will worsen the effect.
Step 7
If you are a serious coffee or tea drinker, talk to your dentist about the very best products for preventing stains.
Step 8Don't smoke!
