Having missing teeth as an adult can cause more than visual problems. If you leave this space, you may experience difficulties chewing, changes in your speech, and even notice that your smile may become misaligned. Whether you have lost your pearly white due to an injury or other condition, there are options available to replace it. Your Riverside Dental Group in California offers dental bridges that can give you a full smile again.
Yesterday, we discussed how dental crowns can restore your smile. These caps may be placed over your pearly whites after having a root canal, breaking a tooth, or before having a dental bridge placed. They can protect the area from further damage and prevent infections. Depending on the damage that has occurred, you may not need a cap to cover the entire structure. Instead, an inlay or onlay may be used to cover a smaller area. Today, your Riverside Dental Group in California is here to explain the differences between these restorations.
Even with the best of care, your pearly whites may sustain injuries caused by accidents, teeth grinding, or cavities. While fillings can help repair a tooth after minor decay, more severe harm may need to be treated with a crown. This cap can protect the area from future problems and restrengthen the area so that you can chew and speak comfortably. Today, your Riverside Dental Group in California is here to explain what to expect when receiving a dental crown.
If you have been told you have a cavity, it is important to have this treated as soon as possible. Unfortunately, tooth decay can cause permanent damage to your enamel. However, fillings can prevent the cavity from progressing and protect against infection. Even if you take proper steps to prevent decay, you may still need restorations. Riverside Dental Group in California uses composite resin to fill cavities before the problem worsens.
In yesterday’s blog, we discussed how porcelain veneers can address several cosmetic concerns at once. This is a great option if your smile problems are only a visual worry. However, if you have multiple restorations that need to be done as well, knowing where to start can be stressful. Riverside Dental Group in California can help by offering a full mouth reconstruction to mend your oral health and improve the appearance of your smile.
Are you in search of a treatment that can address several aesthetic smile concerns at once? For patients looking to improve the color, shape, or size of their pearly whites, porcelain veneers may be the solution you are looking for. This treatment helps disguise the appearance of unsightly blemishes and improves the symmetry of your smile. Today, your Riverside Dental Group of California is here to explain the process of veneers so you can know what to expect.
In yesterday’s blog, we talked about how professional teeth whitening can erase stains from your tooth’s surface and enhance your appearance. Unfortunately, though, this solution does not help patients with intrinsic discoloration. To help camouflage these kinds of blemishes, Riverside Dental Group in California offers bonding and contouring services.
Your smile is one of your most prominent features, so of course you want it to look nice. If you are a daily coffee drinker, you may notice that your pearly whites are no longer as bright. Coffee is not the only culprit of this. Other popular beverages like tea and soda, and even some foods, can cause discoloration to your enamel. If you want to erase these stains, Riverside Dental Group in California offers at-home or in-office teeth whitening treatments.
When it comes to your oral hygiene, there are more concerns than just keeping your pearly whites healthy. Your gums are an important factor, too. Although the current generation of older adults today are keeping more of their teeth than the previous population, tooth loss is still a major concern. Periodontal disease is one of the leading causes for this problem. Riverside Dental Group in California offers cleanings and exams to help prevent this and other problems, as well as periodontal cleanings to help patients manage gum disease.
In a recent blog, we discussed how an oral appliance can be used to protect your teeth from bruxism. This retainer-like device is made to shield your teeth from grinding against each other. At Riverside Dental Group in California, we offer several types of guards that can keep your pearly whites safe. For example, patients who play contact sports may benefit from pro-form mouthguards.
We believe in offering all patients a comprehensive approach to dental care, protecting smiles with preventive dentistry, and improving the beauty of their smiles with cosmetic and restorative care.
Couldn’t be happier with the results of my bridge/crown work performed by Dr.Dalida, and Rosa is the best dental assistant I’ve ever had – and I’ve had many procedures with almost all forms of dentistry over the years due to an industrial accident. Would absolutely recommend the office!
