Worried They’ll Knock Out a Tooth?
Each year five million teeth are lost due to traumatic injury in the United States. Many routine sports activities can be dangerous without the correct protection. And let’s face it; the one-size-fits-all mouthguards found in stores don’t always fit properly. A custom-made sport mouthguard fits appropriately, protects well, and can be utilized for any sport.

But with early detection, there is a 90% cure rate for oral cancer. That's why we provide a visual screening for oral cancer at every six-month checkup and cleaning. If our dentist or hygienist sees anything that incites concern, they'll refer you to an oral surgeon. This screening could mean your life!

Now the Good News
Most basic insurance plans pay for the surgical treatments necessary to treat advanced periodontal disease. Gum surgery is almost always successful in controlling the conditions present in severe cases. However, with mild periodontal disease, there are powerful NON-surgical procedures that, along with better dental hygiene, can virtually stop the development of the disease. This, too, is usually covered under most dental insurance plans.

The Laser Scanner Finds Ultrasmall Cavities Years Earlier
Have you ever had a dentist uncover a cavity and place an enormous filling, leaving you to wonder why the filling is so extensive if the cavity wasn’t there just six months before? The cavity was there six months before – it just wasn’t large enough to be detected on X-rays, and it wasn’t yet visible to the dentist. Our laser scanner discovers cavities years earlier, when a small cavity can be removed and the tooth fixed with a minor amount of invisible bonded filling.

TMJ/TMD - Proper Bite Alignment Treatment Helps You Say 'Goodbye' to Headaches and Jaw Pain!
Do you know that the aches and pains that afflict your neck and shoulders may be the result of a misaligned dental occlusion (i.e. your bite)? Excess tension in your jaw muscles may also be the reason for constant headaches or throbbing and cracking jaws. If your teeth have become worn over the years or lost due to accident or dental disease, your jaw is not able to relax into a natural position. It is time to restore your dental occlusion and allow your jaw to return to the alignment that nature intended, so you can stop the misery. Full mouth rehabilitation is an extraordinary treatment we offer to rescue your oral health. If you have been coexisting with the pain and misery described above, we invite you to discover the improvements that this treatment may bring to your quality of life.
What’s So Bad About Losing a Tooth?
While you might believe that decay, accident, or other trauma would be the primary reason behind tooth loss, the true culprit is gum disease. So, is it a big issue to lose a tooth? I mean it won’t kill you, right? No, it won’t, but losing even a single tooth can make your other teeth alter their position, which is not good. Missing teeth reduce your capacity to chew and to receive nutrients from your food, which can cause weight loss. Or, because it’s more difficult to chew with missing teeth, you may begin favoring softer foods with more carbohydrates and gain weight. Other bad things may occur, including your speech being altered. Or, the bone loss resulting from the missing teeth may cause your face to change shape, producing a “sunken” appearance that can make you look much older than you really are.
Designed to blend with your remaining teeth, dental implants can replace one tooth or multiples and are the best way to treat a missing tooth (or missing teeth). They look so natural that at first glance even a dentist will have trouble seeing the difference.

Gum Disease Can Contribute to Heart Disease and Even Stroke
Recent medical research has led doctors to a disturbing conclusion: gum disease, stroke, and heart disease are connected. Since heart disease is often deadly, it is readily apparent that gum disease is no laughing matter. The American Dental Association estimates that 8 out of 10 Americans have periodontal (gum) disease. This large percentage would indicate an epidemic if this were any other affliction. In fact, most dentists think it is just that! They also realize that because most professionals believe “no one ever dies from it” gum disease will likely never be labeled an “epidemic.” The extreme situation means you will lose your teeth. Not pleasant – but certainly not life threatening. But that thinking has all changed.
The American Academy of Periodontology reports, “Studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases.” In short, the bacteria that destroy your gums can also migrate and destroy your vital organs!
