Implant Dentistry And Bite Health

How many ways can one dental problem affect you? When it comes to tooth loss, you can experience a range of issues, leading to understandable frustration. One of those difficulties concerns problems with poor bite health. Even one missing tooth can be all that it takes to change how you bite down, something that can lead to more wear and tear on remaining teeth along with increased pressure on your jaw. At our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office, we can help patients who have experienced this issue. With the right approach to prosthetic dental work, you regain more than just a complete smile—you can also enjoy oral health benefits. Through implant dentistry, we can secure replacement teeth so that they can be counted on to support your bite function. They also help support neighboring teeth and the health of your jaw! (more…)

How Crowns Protect Teeth

Is there really a way for your dentist to keep a tooth safe when you suffer an advanced cavity or serious physical injury. These kinds of problems can be effectively dealt with through the placement of a custom dental crown. This kind of restoration can offer important protection, even as you continue to put pressure on your tooth whenever you bite down. Our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office offers care with crowns made from different types of materials, including materials that are able to closely mimic enamel. We should note that we can also provide preventive care that makes issues severe enough to require crowns less likely to occur. (more…)

Taking On Tooth Injuries Through Bonding Treatment

Sometimes, trouble with your smile can point to shortcomings in your oral hygiene routine. Others will have naturally occurring issues with teeth that are misshapen, the wrong size, or not in proper alignment. While these issues affect many, they are not the only reasons why people experience doubts about the way they look. In some cases, trouble can be traced back to something more recent—an injury that chips, cracks, or otherwise harms your enamel. If you experience this kind of problem, know that our Mansfield, TX dental practice is prepared to help. With tooth bonding treatment as an option for care, we can actually see to it that your smile is restored while minimizing the overall changes that affect your enamel, and we can produce lasting benefits from a procedure without placing a permanent restoration.

Seeing The Appeal Of Clear Aligners

There are different reasons people feel a lack of confidence in their appearance when they smile. For people who have issues with poor teeth spacing, it can be frustrating to think that the only treatment option involves metal braces that have to be permanently set in place on teeth. These appliances can prove effective, but it can be worrying to think that you will have to rely on something conspicuous and fixed in place. What you explore as an alternative is treatment with clear aligners. Your Mansfield, TX dentist’s office is prepared to discuss this service with you so that you can understand what to expect from your appliances as well as what they can do for your smile! (more…)

Our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office is ready to help you address this matter. Through implant dentistry, we are able to permanently secure replacement teeth. In doing so, we can provide a cosmetic solution as well as care that can restore your bite function and dental health. (more…)

When You Are In Need Of A Root Canal

When a cavity initially forms, it can be addressed through treatment that ends with the placement of a conservative filling. Unfortunately, when problems with decay go unrecognized and untreated, more damage ultimately affects our tooth structure. This can worsen to the point where an infection develops within the structure and must be addressed through a root canal. Our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office is prepared to take on this problem and help you recover from the harm done by a cavity. In addition to providing treatment to address an infection, we can keep your tooth safe by capping it with a dental crown that protects it and also takes on bite pressure to preserve natural and comfortable jaw movements.

Support That A Lifelike Filling Provides

A cavity’s formation will leave your tooth permanently harmed. This is true even when the problem is caught and treated early. That being said, timely restorative dental work does have important advantages. By catching a problem in time, our Mansfield, TX dental practice can make sure that your cavity is dealt with before there are complications, and while the amount of harm to your tooth structure is limited. After detecting the problem and removing decayed enamel, we will protect your tooth with a lifelike dental filling. The material we use to make these restorations can both visually match and bond with your enamel, which means it can remain secure over a longer period of time and offer support that preserves the way you look!
