Are you missing one or more teeth? Don’t worry, you’re not the
only one. Many Americans report they’ve lost at least one adult tooth around
their 30s and 40s due to everything from gum diseases to injuries and other
health issues. For years, dentists have resorted to creating dental bridges or
providing dentures to relieve their patients from the discomforts of missing
teeth. Luckily, permanent restorations—<a href="http://www.jacklschraderddspc.com/procedures/restorations/dental-implants/">dental implants</a>, are now available. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What are dental implants exactly? Dental implants are a
permanent replacement for your teeth. They are made to meld with the roots of
your teeth and provide durability for a lifetime. Why should you get them?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><b>1.)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">
</span></b><!--[endif]--><b>They look great<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
If you’ve ever lost a tooth, one of
the first things you thought about was how it altered your appearance. Dental
implants can give you back your full smile again because they’re made to
permanently attach to your mouth and look just like natural teeth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><b>2.)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">
</span></b><!--[endif]--><b>They’re easier to eat with<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Eating with dentures can get messy
and can even hurt. Because dentures aren’t permanent, they’re prone to move
around while you’re chewing. Dental implants will stay put, and you’ll be able
to enjoy your meals again. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><b>3.)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">
</span></b><!--[endif]--><b>You can speak more clearly<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Another issue with removable
dentures is they’ll often disrupt your speech. Because dentures can move around
in your mouth, they’ll jumble your words, make it difficult to annunciate, and
even make it physically uncomfortable to speak. With permanent dental implants,
nothing moves and you’re free to speak as loudly and clearly as you please. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><b>4.)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">
</span></b><!--[endif]--><b>They last longer<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Dental implants aren’t a temporary
fix to your dental issues. They’re made as a reliable substitute to your old
teeth. Unlike dentures, there’s no risk of the wear and tear that is often
caused by slipping and grinding. Dental implants connect and fuse to your bone
and will act as your own teeth the rest of your life.<br />
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> 5.)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">
</span></b><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;">They’re no-hassle and comfortable</b><br />
Having to remove and
reattach dentures is a hassle. You have to reapply adhesives and regularly make
sure they have a clean storage place when you’re not using them. No effort goes
into maintaining dental implants, besides your basic dental health routines of
brushing and flossing.</div>

When it comes to getting a
filling, you may be presented with a few materials to choose from. Metal
amalgam and composite resin fillings are the most common filling choices for
patients who have cavities, but is one better than the other?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Amalgam fillings
(also known as silver fillings) are made up of a silver, tin, and copper
mixture, blended together with mercury. </b>Silver fillings are a great
economical option, as they are covered by most insurance companies. They are
also able to last up to 15 years. Amalgam fillings are generally used for
larger cavities or toward the back teeth, however there has been much concern
about the mercury content present in the metal. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><a href="http://www.jacklschraderddspc.com/procedures/cosmetic-dentistry/composite-fillings/">Composite resinfillings</a> (also known as tooth-colored fillings)</b> have become a popular
option for filling cavities, as <b>they are
developed to match the structure and color of natural teeth.</b> Although they
are more expensive than their silver counterparts and tend to have a shorter
life expectancy, composite fillings are able to treat tooth decay in a
cosmetically appealing way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The filling you choose will depend on the size and location
of your cavity. Just like amalgam fillings are used for larger cavities,
composite fillings are a great cosmetic option for cavities located on
front-facing teeth. The best way to determine which material is right for you
is to contact your local dentist and schedule an appointment. Your dentist will
be able to perform an examination and help you choose the right filling
material.<o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="http://www.jacklschraderddspc.com/procedures/cosmetic-dentistry/">Cosmetic dentistry </a>is becoming one of the most popular ways
to improve the appearance of teeth. Although some may believe cosmetic
dentistry is only for movie stars, there are plenty of ways it can improve your
life as well. Here are some facts about cosmetic dentistry that may convince
you to find out whether a procedure is right for you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Your appearance is
enhanced: </b>This may seem obvious, but with an improved appearance comes many
personal benefits. When you look good, you feel good and there’s no shame in bettering
the way you look in order to feel better about yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Any pain will be
eliminated: </b>Many times, cosmetic imperfections lead to <a href="http://www.jacklschraderddspc.com/tmj-treatment/">TMJ issues</a> such as
jaw, head, and neck pain. A procedure that improves your bite alignment and
straightens your teeth could also alleviate associated pain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>You’ll make a better
first impression: </b>An attractive smile is known to generate positive social
and professional interactions. By whitening or straightening your teeth, you
can create better relationships and increase your opportunities for
advancement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Your oral health
improves: </b>An aligned bite position and straighter teeth are easier to clean
than crooked teeth. You can floss easier and brush with more accuracy with a
straighter smile, which will lessen your chances of cavities and tooth decay.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>You’ll get a boost in
self-confidence: </b>Last, but certainly not least, cosmetic dentistry can help
you achieve a smile that you’ll be itching to show off. The confidence you
receive will allow you to feel better about yourself, which is something
everyone can benefit from.<o:p></o:p></div>
