Time for Your Next Biannual Checkup?

Posted

As the weather starts to cool off a little bit, you might have a little more free time, especially if your kids have gone back to school. If you suddenly find yourself with some extra space in your schedule, use it in a proactive and healthy way by scheduling your next biannual checkup at the dentist. Like the name implies, these visits are necessary at least twice a year, but always defer to the schedule given to you by your dentist. They know what you need and when you need it.

Here at Riverside Dental Group, we understand the value of preventive dental care. That’s why we give you helpful reminders to keep up with your biannual checkups, and we mean it when we say that these are important. When you wait to visit the dentist, your oral health responsibility is yours alone, and that can spell some real problems for you and your smile. To find out more about our team, give us a call at one of our six conveniently located clinics!

One way that parents have started to see an advantage is through the scheduling of combined family checkups, helping each member to receive dedicate care in just one trip.

Experience An Invisalign® Smile

Posted

Invisalign® riverside caWhen you look in the mirror, do you wish that you could see a more attractive smile in the mirror? For many people, alignment issues are a daily struggle, yet they avoid treatment due to the intrusion of traditional orthodontics, particularly bracketed braces. If this sounds like you, talk to your dentist about whether there is a different, more innovative way. Invisalign® helps in a different way than traditional braces, using a progressive set of clear aligners to shift the location of teeth rather than brackets and wires.

At our Riverside Dental Group locations, we offer clear aligner therapy in order to help our patients experience the smile that they deserve in a quieter, less intrusive way. Rather than relying on braces, we can help you to gently (yet effectively) shift the location of your teeth along your oral ridge without sharing your secret with the rest of the world. Simply wear your clear aligners throughout the day and start to work on your treatment. As you reach nearer to your smile goals, swap out your aligner trays for a new set and carry on with your care!

Focusing On Your Gum Health

Posted

gum health riverside caYour smile is about more than just your teeth, and if you have only been focusing on them, then it is time to think about making some changes.

Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss, so it is vital to keep up with your gum health at all times.

Here at Riverside Dental Group, we help people to maintain and improve their smiles with effective dentistry from a trusted team. If you have started to notice redness or swelling along your gumline, then make an effort and schedule an appointment with our team.

Dental implants could be your solution, so reach out to a trusted oral health professional about your options.

At Riverside Dental Group, we help people to regain their confidence in their smile after losing one or more of their natural teeth.

Whiten Your Teeth With a Professional

whiten your teeth riverside caIf you have seen all those over-the-counter products at your local supermarket or drugstore, you might feel that these are safe for your smile.

At Riverside Dental Group, we help people to learn to love their smiles.

The important thing is to talk to your provider about your schedule and make a point to follow through with your appointments.

At Riverside Dental Group, we understand the value of positive prevention. If you are ready to renew your focus on your oral health, we’re here for it.

Experiencing A Sleep Disorder?

sleep disorder riverside caIf you are struggling with your sleep, then it may be time to talk to a trusted oral health team about whether you are experiencing a common sleep disorder. Two of the five most common of these relate to the structures of your head and neck, and when they occur, they can really hold you back. You depend on your rest in order to make it through the day, and if you are tossing and turning all night, it could prevent you from receiving the downtime that you need.

At Riverside Dental Group, we help people to maintain and improve their oral health, and we can help you to understand what is going on. Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where the tissue of the throat makes contact during sleep, preventing patients from having full and complete breaths during rest. Bruxism is another common oral health-related sleep disorder that happens when you grind your teeth during sleep, and this can cause serious changes to the appearance of your teeth, as well as your ability to keep them safe. To find out more about oral appliance therapy for oral health-related sleep disorders, call us today!

Dental Implants Provide A Strong Connection

Posted

strong connection riverside moreno valley caWhile prosthodontists have been able to create beautiful, lifelike prosthetic teeth for decades, the tough part has always been finding a way to connect them to the jaw. In dental bridges, this is achieved by relying on the teeth on either side of the gap; dentures often use messy adhesives to stay in place. While these are generally effective, there may be times when you would like something a little tougher. Dental implants do that by providing a strong connection directly to the bone tissue within the jaw.

At Riverside Dental Group, we know the value of a quality smile. That’s why we dedicate ourselves to helping people in our community to renew their oral health and appearance after losing one or more of their natural teeth. With dental implants, there is a solution that is available for all type of teeth; this option is even being used in the creation of implant-retained dentures, which can help you to experience the same strong connection in a whole mouth restoration. To find out more about the advantages of dental implants, call our office today!
