We also want to remind you that we have treatment to ensure you attend community events with a brighter smile!
Why Dentists Recommend Tooth-Colored Fillings
Treating cavities has long been one of the most common restorative dentistry goals. That’s because cavities (and the tooth decay that causes them) are the most common chronic issue to affect children’s and adult’s teeth. In many cases, that treatment involves the cleaning and filling of the cavity, which stops it from growing worse and restores the tooth’s structural integrity. At our Mansfield, TX, dental office, we often recommend treating cavities with tooth-colored fillings, which offer a number of benefits for your tooth as well as your long-term oral health. (more…)
Fixing Your Tooth Loss With Dental Bridges
Multiple factors could cause tooth loss, from severe infections to gum disease or even injury. When gaps appear in your smile due to missing teeth, then the health of your smile could suffer. Fortunately, we can help people in Mansfield, TX, by placing a lifelike dental bridge. How do we design and create these natural looking prosthetics?
When Is a Dental Crown Appropriate?
Every dental issue is unique, which is why every dental treatment should be tailored to your specific needs. For example, teeth stains are common, but not all types of tooth discoloration are the same. A cracked tooth could be a minor cosmetic issue, a serious restorative concern, or both, depending on its size and location. Because everyone’s needs are unique, we offer a wide variety of personalized treatment options at our Mansfield, TX, dental office, including customizable dental crowns that can address discoloration, strengthen and protect a tooth, and more.

Will Treating Sleep Apnea Stop My Snoring?
Do you regularly snore? If so, you may be experiencing poor sleep, in addition to driving your significant other crazy. In order to stop this and enjoy a better night’s rest, you may need to undergo sleep apnea treatment. We’re talking about the link between snoring and sleep apnea, and when people in Mansfield, TX, should schedule an appointment.
Why You Should Take Sleep Apnea Treatment Seriously
Snoring is a problem for millions of people, but for some of them, it’s more important than it is for others. That’s because it can often indicate the presence of a sleep disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). People who suffer from sleep apnea will snore increasingly more loudly each night, and ignoring it can lead to several different symptoms. At our Mansfield, TX, dental office, we offer customized treatment to help alleviate the symptoms and potential health risks associated with sleep apnea. (more…)
What Causes TMJ Disorder?
In our last blog, we took a look at bruxism, a disorder in which people regularly grind their teeth or clench their jaw. In today’s blog, we’re going to focus on a related issue known as TMJ disorder, or TMD. What causes TMJ disorder and how do we offer patients treatment? Find out more about identifying and treating jaw joint disorders.
What Grinding Your Teeth Means for Your Oral Health
If you have bruxism, then the constant grinding of your teeth can seem like an obvious hazard to their health. That much pressure and friction is bound to wear your teeth down, and that can have a few direct consequences such as tooth sensitivity and changing tooth surfaces. However, when left untreated, the dangers of bruxism to the rest of your oral health can become much more significant. At our Mansfield, TX, dental office, we can help you avoid the potentially serious consequences of bruxism to your oral health by addressing the condition as soon as possible. (more…)
The Benefits Of Preventive Dental Sealants
Whether you’re a child or an adult, your smile is susceptible to tooth decay. In fact, only about 1% of the population is immune to dental caries. To prevent the serious complications of a cavity, such as pain or even infection, we may suggest a preventive treatment option. What benefits will our dental sealants offer residents of Mansfield, TX?
The Importance of Regular Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer, which can include cancers of the lips, gums, cheeks, tongue, and many other oral structures, is one of the more common and dangerous types of cancer. Much like other oral and systemic health issues, it’s best addressed in its earliest stages, which offers the highest chances of successfully treating it. At our Mansfield, TX, dental office, we perform a comprehensive oral cancer screening during every one of your checkup and cleaning appointments. In addition to helping you avoid issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and more, we also help you stay ahead of your overall wellbeing by keeping a close eye on potential oral cancer signs. (more…)
