Repairing Your Damaged Tooth

Posted April 14, 2023 by Dr. Naminik

Since our teeth do not regrow, any damage to them can lead to lasting consequences. In order to prevent further harm to your smile, speak with a trusted dental provider about your cracked or broken tooth as soon as possible. The placement of a sturdy dental crown can help you to save this location from serious harm such as bacterial infection. When these germs reach the soft tissue within your tooth, you can experience a seriously painful toothache that requires a root canal treatment to correct.

At Woodland Hills Dental Arts in Woodland Hills, CA, we are here to help you to retain as much of your natural material as possible through the use of helpful restorative care. One such method is the placement of a durable dental crown as a cap over your existing tooth structure, and this technique has multiple benefits. Your natural enamel is a highly protective shield for the more vulnerable tissue within, so allowing your damage to continue without repair will leave you at risk of further complications. We are here to help you to maintain and retain your existing teeth! (more…)

Paying Attention To Ongoing Health

Posted February 17, 2023 by Dr. Naminik

As you age, it is important that you note the changes in your body so that you can appropriately care for yourself. Bone density begins to naturally decrease in people after the age of fifty, and this shift can have serious implications for the vitality of your smile. The connection between your jaw and your teeth is a snug one, so even minor amounts of bone loss can create a pocket where bacteria begin to develop. Osteoporosis is known as a silent disease because your health issue can stay hidden for years without forms of imagery such as digital x-rays.

For this reason, it is helpful for you to keep your dedicated schedule of checkups with your dentist. Give yourself a greater chance of success with the dedicated care of a trained oral health professional. Set aside the time for an appointment with the team at Woodland Hills Dental Arts in Woodland Hills, CA. Care for your existing natural material and discover how we can help you to age with grace through helpful dentistry! (more…)

Take Your Sleep Health Seriously

Posted January 24, 2023 by Dr. Naminik

If you struggle with your sleep, you are not alone. Sleep disorders are prevalent within America and you may be more susceptible to them as a result of genetics or your lifestyle. Two of these occur in the area of the mouth and the neck, and can often be treated with a non-surgical oral appliance. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the form of your throat can soften during the deepest form of sleep. When the tissue lays on top of itself, your airway can become blocked by your own body. Apnea can contribute to serious lasting medical concerns such as heart attack and stroke.

Bruxism is another common overnight condition that can have permanent effects. This is the grinding of teeth overnight and it can cause undue wear to certain areas of the mouth. This motion is often repetitively eroding your enamel. You may flatten your molars or shorten your incisors from your nightly grinding. Take advantage of a helpful sleep appliance from Woodland Hills Dental Arts in Woodland Hills, CA. This approach could help you avoid surgery or dental restoration! (more…)

Invisalign® Yields Gentler Results

Posted January 10, 2023 by Dr. Naminik

Alignment is one of the most common areas of cosmetic dental enhancement and it can also bring significant health benefits. When your smile suffers imbalance due to misalignment, a few different troubles can arise. These issues can lead to further oral health issues in the future. For instance, the overcrowding of teeth often creates areas that you cannot properly clean with your routine hygiene. If the location is inaccessible, bacteria can have safe harbor in these locations and continue to grow unimpeded. This situation leads to tooth decay from the acidic waste these germs produce.

Invisalign® aligners are a discreet form of alignment treatment that helps to minimize these dental health concerns. These clear aligner trays are nearly invisible to others and gently reposition your teeth on the dental ridge so that they can be properly maintained. We proudly offer this form of treatment at Woodland Dental Arts in Woodland Hills, CA to help you look your best. Stop the troublesome development of a misaligned smile and let your natural smile shine through! (more…)
