Our teeth are strong enough to perform a difficult job – tearing and breaking down a wide range of foods over many years – but they are not completely impervious to damage. The right effort to care for them should include both daily oral hygiene habits and visits with your dentist for routine care. If a tooth is damaged, or if a cavity affects it, the appropriate restorative dental procedure can put the matter to rest. At our Mansfield, TX dental office, we can provide protection in the form of a custom dental crown that secures your tooth and preserves your bite function. Because we can provide a restoration that imitates your enamel, you can go through treatment without having to undergo a permanent smile change! (more…)

Life With An Implant-Held Restoration
Instead of trying to live your life without your full smile, you can talk to your Mansfield, TX dentist about the benefits of restorative work. What you can find is that the right approach to prosthodontic care can give you more than just an improved smile. With a dental implant-held restoration, you can have an easier time biting, chewing, laughing and speaking because your prosthetic is securely fixed in place. Implants secure prosthetic appliances to your jawbone. Their link to the bone mimics the kind of hold that our teeth roots provide for our teeth. In addition to helping your restoration stay secure, an implant can support your oral health by stimulating surrounding jawbone tissues to keep nutrients flowing to it. (more…)
How Jaw Problems Lead To Headaches

Fortunately, troubles with your jaw joints and muscles, referred to as TMD, can be addressed by your Mansfield, TX dentist!

One important aspect of preventive dental care involves regular dental checkups. At our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office, we can make sure your smile is as healthy as you suspect and hope it might be.

What Are You Doing To Fight Tartar Buildup?
How worried should you be about tartar formation? Is this substance more harmful to you than plaque? If you let plaque buildup remain in place for too long, the deposits will harden and form tartar. When this happens, the substance will remain in place until your next dental exam and cleaning. Simply put, your toothbrush and dental floss are not capable of clearing away tartar formation, which is something your hygienist addresses. The good news is that when tartar buildup is removed, you protect yourself from potential problems like tooth decay and gum disease! Preventive visits at our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office provide many benefits, including protection against tartar accumulation. (more…)

Through tooth bonding treatment, we may be able to resolve your issues with physical damage without the use of a restoration! (more…)
