Take Your Sleep Health Seriously

Posted by

Wake Up Woodland Hills CAIf 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…)

InvisalignAlignment 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…)

Enamel Restoration Through Cosmetic Dentistry

Relax WLHCAWhen it comes to looking and feeling your best, improving the quality of your smile can be a great way to boost your self-confidence. Not only can dental enhancements provide you with a more beautiful appearance, but these can also help to reinforce your natural defenses. Our oral health depends on the strength of the individual structures within the mouth such as the enamel, which is the tough external tissue of the tooth.

If the enamel becomes damaged or worn, infection can begin to take hold in the less dense matter beneath. One helpful method of restoring this material is through the use of porcelain veneers. These are sturdy translucent caps made of a ceramic that can replace or renew your enamel. At Woodland Hills Dental Arts in Woodland Hills, CA, we proudly provide this popular approach to beautiful enamel restoration. This procedure can help you get back on the dental peak in both medical and cosmetic ways! (more…)
