Cavities happen.

Odds are you will have one (if you haven’t already) at some point in your life. The National Institutes of Health reports that more than 90 percent of people develop tooth decay.

So, you need to ask yourself what you will do about it?

1. Prevent It

Preventive care should always be your first priority. This is why you brush and floss daily. This is why you should schedule professional cleanings and exams a few times each year to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

2. Treat It Now

If you notice signs of decay or we catch in during your checkup, your best option is to take care of it right away. Remove the decay, then get a tooth filling to repair your tooth and restore your ability to eat without worry.

3. Treat It Later

As much as we wish everyone did something about cavities as soon as they start, you may not realize you have one. We also know people sometimes ignore decay in hopes that it will go away. (It won’t.)

Depending on how long you wait, you may need a dental crown or a root canal to get your tooth back in shape.

Keep up a good oral hygiene routine, so you can reduce your risk of cavities and decay. As part of that, call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 or contact us online to request an appointment in Charlotte, NC.

When you come to our office for dental checkups, you can get X-rays as part of your routine care. This is an important part of your process.

X-rays help us see things that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as:

X-rays also help us monitor changes to the position of your teeth, which can help determine if teeth should be removed or if orthodontic care could help.

Visit our general dentist office soon to get your X-rays and more. Call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 or contact us online to request your appointment in Charlotte, NC.

You have made the decision to begin orthodontic treatment. You understand that it takes time, but you would still like it to be over as soon as possible.

Whether you use braces or aligners like Invisalign, you can reduce your treatment plan. AcceleDent Aura is a complementary service that can reduce your treatment time by as much as 50 percent.

By using SoftPulse Technology® for just 20 minutes per day, you can significantly accelerate your new smile.

Having to replace a whole row of teeth isn’t nearly as life-changing as it used to be. Gone are the days of messy, loose-fitting, and unnatural-looking dentures. These days, it’s all about combining the use of dental implants and dentures to restore your teeth. 

But when the time comes to restore your teeth, you may be faced with a decision: implant-retained dentures or implant-supported dentures. There are benefits to each option, but certain factors set them apart. Learn more about the two popular restoration solutions to get an idea of which one may be best for you.

Call 704-285-0846 to set up a consultation at Charlotte Dentistry in Charlotte, NC.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures are dentures that are secured by dental implants. With implant-retained dentures, most of the force of your bite is on your gums, as opposed to through the dental implants and into your bone.

Implant-supported dentures require fewer dental implants, can often be secured with mini implants if necessary, and can be made using a wider variety of materials. Implant-retained dentures are worn while eating, but should be taken out at night to be properly cleaned.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture that is designed to take the force of your bite and fully direct it through the dental implants into your bone. This is important, because this design ensures you have a more natural and effective, as well as the strongest, bite possible.

Implant-supported dentures tend to cost more than implant-retained dentures, since they require more dental implants and require higher-quality materials. In most cases, mini dental implants cannot be used for implant-supported dentures, which means a good amount of bone is needed to support them. In most cases, implant-supported dentures are permanent and not removable. 

Which Option is Right for You?

Both types of implant dentures offer fantastic functional and cosmetic results. Which option is right for you will depend on the following factors, which we can discuss during your consultation at our Charlotte dental office:

The most requested cosmetic dentistry service in any dentist’s office is teeth whitening, so we know there are plenty of people out there who’ve wondered whether it’s a treatment worth exploring. 

Many people make the mistake of first trying a store-bought whitening product to see if they can get the results they want for just a few bucks. 

But if you want to get the most out of your time and money, professional teeth whitening is the only way to go! Watch today’s video to hear how it works in our Charlotte, NC practice. 

Then call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment, and have a brighter smile in time for fall!

You still have several more weeks of summer, so take advantage of it by visiting your Charlotte, NC dentist before the season ends!

It won’t be long before you and your family will be caught up in the hectic school year, fall sports season, and the stretch of holidays ahead, so it’s a great time to address any issues with your smile. 

Here are five things you can do to maintain, protect, and improve your smile with what’s left of summer:

#1 – Straighten Your Teeth – When you look ahead to the holidays, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the food. It’s not the time to restrict yourself from eating all your favorite treats of the season, but if you’re wearing braces, you wouldn’t have a choice. Clear aligners, on the other hand, can be removed so you can eat what you want without putting off orthodontic treatment to straighten your smile.

#2 – Get A Custom Mouthguard – If you have a child who participates in fall sports, the only way to ensure they can breathe, communicate, and minimize the risk for dental injuries is with a mouthguard that’s customized to fit them perfectly. We can take precise measurements of their mouth so the guard stays comfortably but snugly in place and their performance on the field or court isn’t hindered by a bulky, oversized mouthguard from a store.

#3 – Whiten Your Teeth – Fall is a busy season for socializing, and one of the quickest, easiest, and most affordable ways to look your best and boost your confidence is with professional teeth whitening. Whether at home or in our office, we can dramatically whiten your teeth so you look and feel great all season long.

#4 – Prevent Decay & Cavities – From late October to the start of the new year, it’s almost impossible to stay away from candy and other sweets that are delicious but not great for your teeth. We can provide added protection against tooth decay and cavities with preventive services like fluoride treatments and dental sealants.

#5 – Heal Your TMJ Problems – You’ll be too preoccupied with the kids and their school-related activities and holiday plans to be distracted by chronic pain in your jaw, face, and head. A misaligned jaw joint comes with unpleasant symptoms, one of which is teeth grinding that can damage and wear down your enamel. This can be prevented with a custom oral appliance that will also allow your jaw to heal naturally.

Before summer is over, visit us for all your smile care needs! Call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC.
