If you are living with missing teeth or only wear dentures, you probably have to limit some of your food choices. You don’t have to any longer! You can get a stronger bite when you pair your restorations with dental implants. These are similar to your own tooth roots, keeping your jawbone strong and allowing you to enjoy more of the foods you love.

People often associate orthodontics with children or teens, but the truth is, you’re never too old to straighten your teeth. If you’re tired of living with crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth, adult braces can transform your smile into one you’re proud of. At Charlotte Dentistry, we have several options available to give you the smile of your dreams. 

Invisalign

Invisalign is a fantastic option for both teens and adults. No other dentist office in the Carolinas has completed more Invisalign cases than Charlotte Dentistry. We’ve been a Diamond Invisalign Provider since 2007, which means we transform more smiles with Invisalign than 99 percent of the other Invisalign providers in the U.S. 

Invisalign is a fantastic option for both teens and adults because it uses clear aligners rather than metal braces. The aligners won’t irritate your gums and cheeks like metal braces, and blend into your smile so that they’re barely noticeable. No one has to know you’re wearing them! 

You wear the clear aligners over your teeth day and night, only removing them to eat, brush your teeth, or for special occasions. They can gradually and painlessly straighten your teeth in less time than standard metal braces or ceramic braces. If you combine Invisalign with Acceledent, you can complete treatment in half the time!

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are probably what you think of when you hear the word braces. They are a tried-and-true treatment option that can dramatically transform your smile. We often recommend metal braces for patients with more complex cases. 

If you are looking to correct an overbite, underbite, crossbite, crowding, rotated teeth, or jaw misalignment, this might be the best option for you. 

Clear Ceramic Braces

Clear ceramic braces are a more discreet alternative to standard braces. For this orthodontic treatment option, we use clear ceramic brackets and tooth-colored wires. Like traditional metal braces, ceramic braces can work in more severe cases when Invisalign isn’t an option.

Gum recession is more common than a lot of people realize. When your gum tissue starts to wear away, it can expose the roots and leave you susceptible to tooth decay, infection, and other health problems. It can also be uncomfortable and make you feel self-conscious about your smile. But you have options to stop, reverse, and help prevent the unfortunate side effects of gum recession. 

What Causes Gum Recession?

It can be hard to pinpoint the exact cause of gum recession, but the most common causes include:

A visit with our friendly and experienced team at Charlotte Dentistry can help determine what’s causing your gums to recede. Then, we can create a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile and prevent further recession. 

Gum Recession Treatment Options

There are several treatment options for gum recession. During your consultation, we will discuss the solutions available to restore your smile. Treatment options include:

Scaling And Root Planing

Scaling is a deep cleaning treatment that involves using either a manual tool, a special device with sonic vibrations, or both to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of your teeth and underneath your gumline. 

Root planing goes even deeper to carefully scale the root surface and smooth it out. This will help prevent bacteria, plaque, and tartar from building up underneath your gumline. It can also reduce inflammation, promote healing, and make it easier for your gums to securely reattach themselves to your teeth.

Dental Bonding

Bonding is a treatment option that involves applying a durable resin material to the surface of your teeth. We match the material to the shade of your teeth, shape it to your teeth, and then harden it with a special light. This treatment can be used for exposed roots or misshapen teeth damaged by receding gums. 

Save Your Smile With Gum Recession Treatment In Charlotte, NC

If receding gums are affecting your quality of life, we can help. We can help restore your smile and improve your oral health with a complete gum recession treatment.

In recognition of Oral Cancer Awareness Month this April, we are reminding our patients of ways you minimize your risk. Oral cancer is the general term used for cancer located on the floor or roof of your mouth, in your gums, on your tongue, on your lips, or in the back of your throat. 

Know The Signs And Symptoms

Oral cancer is the most common type of head and neck cancer. Early detection is important; you want to catch it before it spreads to other parts of your body. To increase the likelihood that it’s caught early, keep a lookout for these signs and symptoms of oral cancer:

Quit Tobacco

The single most effective way to reduce your oral cancer risk is to quit tobacco. Using any kind of tobacco product, including cigars, cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco, significantly increases your risk of developing cancer of the mouth or lips.

At Charlotte Dentistry, your health and well-being are our top priority. If you’re having trouble quitting tobacco, reach out to one of our team members for support and helpful resources. 

Cut Back On Alcohol

Heavy alcohol consumption can also increase your oral cancer risk, especially when consumed together with tobacco. With alcohol, moderation is key. 

See Your Dentist For Regular Checkups

Seeing your dentist at least every six months for checkups and cleanings is one of the best ways to minimize your risk of oral cancer. When you visit our Charlotte, NC dentist office for a checkup, we examine your mouth for any changes so that we can detect precancerous spots as early as possible. 

Protect Yourself From The Sun

Spending too much time in the sun without proper protection can not only harm your skin, but it increases your risk of oral cancer by exposing your lips to harmful UV rays. Reduce your oral cancer risk by using suncreen and lip protectant with SPF 30 or higher anytime you’re outdoors. 

Be Proactive And Reduce Your Oral Cancer Risk

By consciously avoiding the things mentioned above, you can significantly reduce your oral cancer risk and maintain your health and well-being. For more ways to protect maintain good oral health, call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC. You can also online.
