Porcelain veneers can be a fantastic dental correction option for individuals that are not happy with their overall smile. These tooth coverings allow for the correction of various flaws in your teeth from chips, to discoloration, to general misshapen teeth. However, porcelain veneers are a permanent solution as your teeth have to be slightly filed down so that these coverings can adhere to them. From that point on your tooth correction options will simply be limited to replacing your veneers.

Everyone experiences acute stress from time to time. Generally speaking, this can result in temporary discomfort but poses no serious health risks. However, ongoing and long-term stress is different. Impacting the body systemically, sustained stress increases the chances of heart attack and stroke, contributes to hypertension, and is linked to type 2 diabetes. In addition, it can cause skin problems and acne, exacerbate asthma, and act as a catalyst for mood disorders, depression, and anxiety. It can also do incredible amounts of damage to the teeth.

Stress impacts the teeth in many ways – some direct, some behavioral…

For most patients, Invisalign® treatmnt is slightly faster than orthodontic correction with braces. On average, braces take 18 to 24 months to straighten the teeth.

Dental implants are the longest-lasting tooth replacement option. Made of titanium, a metal stronger than steel but lighter than aluminum, dental implants are designed to last for a lifetime.

Titanium is a biocompatible material that is unlikely to be rejected by the body, but that’s not all. Beyond simply accepting an implant, the body works to secure dental implants in place with osteoblasts and connective tissue, allowing implants to replace the roots of missing teeth and prevent issues such as jaw collapse. What’s more, once accepted by the jaw, there is minimal risk of an implant coming loose…

Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth has been damaged. Sometimes, this is due to advanced decay or infection. However, it may also be related to trauma, such as broken teeth, or advanced stages of gum disease.

Typically a last resort, tooth extraction can restore comfort and health to your smile, but this comes with the cost of a missing tooth, leaving many to wonder if there is an alternative to professionally removing teeth.

Can a root canal reduce the need for a tooth extraction? That depends. If the issue is an infected tooth, a root canal is the…

Some tooth discoloration is topical. Known as extrinsic staining, this type of discoloration results from foods, such as dark sauces, and beverages, including soda, wine, coffee, and tea.
