Improve Your Smile With This Technique

Take a big bite out of life and get confident with tooth crowns! Every tooth has a job, whether its job is chewing, grinding, or slicing. Every tooth also has the job of keeping its neighbors neatly aligned.

When you have a damaged or missing tooth, the entire orchestration is thrown off kilter; bite issues, jaw pain, and even eating difficulties can be introduced. In addition, self-esteem is almost always affected.

Don't worry, there is help! Dental crowns will make your smile whole again and quite possible even more beautiful than before! It's time to enjoy life again, savor the foods you love, and put your best smile forward.

Tooth crowns: Covering an existing decayed, damaged, or misshapen tooth, crowns, strengthen, hide or enhance while complementing your smile with the perfect color, shape, and size.

Crowns and bridges: Permanent bridges add additional support and security tow crowns, which replace one or more missing teeth. They fill in gaps, help maintain your face shape, and alleviate stress in your bite.

Crowns and dental implants: Implants are artificial roots that anchor individual crowns. Implants help arrest bone loss immediately below the missing tooth, helping to maintain a fuller, more youthful face shape.

You don't have to live with damaged or missing teeth. Regain the beauty and function of your smile, and take a big, healthy bite out of life! Our Park Ridge dental practice is here to help you, so call us today! 

How Does Poor Oral Health Impact Your Overall Health? Here's How.

At any age, poor oral health can eventually lead to periodontal disease (gum disease), a chronic inflammatory disease which has been linked to a long list of inflammatory conditions including:

• diabetes
• heart disease
• stroke
• cancer
• respiratory diease
• Alzheimer's Disease
• rheumatoid arthritis
• osteoporosis

Approximately 75% of adults have some form of gum disease. Research suggests that it can be transferred to other s via saliva, so a simple kiss or just sharing a snack or even blowing on food can be enough to put your child or significant other at risk of transmission. 

Gum disease is often silent- progressing without symptoms - but warning signs may include swollen, red, or bleeding gums, mouth infections and tenderness, bad breath, and loose teeth. The good news is that gum disease can almost always be prevented, sometimes reversed. 

It's important for the whole family to commit to a good oral healthcare regimen, including regular dental checkups. The dentist will check for signs of this disease and recommend any necessary courses of action for treatment. As a dentist in Park Ridge, I never recommend unnecessary treatment for patients and I know any other good dentist will be the same way.
