We offer a host of restorative treatments with a single goal: Prevent the loss of a tooth due to issues like decay, infection, or injury. However, sometimes issues arise that cannot be addressed with restorative care. To prevent complications, the tooth may actually need to be removed! In today’s blog, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist will look at the extraction process.
How Bonding and Contouring Enhance Your Grin
Sometimes preserving your oral health and hygiene comes down to extracting a compromised tooth, however, this is not the case for most dental concerns. In fact, removal is often the last resort, as steps are taken beforehand that can preserve your smile. When you experience a chip, crack, gap, or stain in your tooth, your concern can be addressed thoroughly and efficiently, and in some cases, only require a single dental visit. Your Woodland Hills, CA dentist at Woodland Hills Dental Arts can take care of any unsightly blemish with the use of dental bonding and contouring.
Why You Should Considering Replacing a Lost Tooth
While it is definitely not preferred, extracting a tooth or losing a tooth as an adult can at times be necessary when it comes to preserving your oral health. In fact, leaving a diseased oral structure in tact can actually do much more harm than help. After the removal, however, it is important to note that your battle is not over just yet, as leaving a gap in your smile will cause multiple complications including function, further infection, and of course cosmetically. For these reasons, your Woodland Hills, CA dentist at Woodland Hills Dental Arts wants you to be informed of the reasons behind replacing a tooth.
Enjoy A Complete Smile Again With Dentures
While minor tooth loss can be addressed with a bridge, what about cases in which a person loses most, or all, natural teeth? To help people with several missing teeth enjoy a full and functional smile again, we may suggest a set of dentures. In today’s blog, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist will explain how we design and craft full, partial, and even implant-secured dentures.
Crafting A Bridge For Your Missing Tooth
When you suffer the loss of one or more teeth, whether due to injury or poor oral health, this impacts more than just the attractiveness of your smile. Over time, tooth loss is linked to an array of complications, from misalignment and trouble eating, to an aged appearance and further tooth loss. But by addressing tooth loss with a replacement, such as a bridge, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist can help save your smile!
Crafting Crowns That Match Your Smile
At one time, fillings and crowns were only available in metal options, like amalgam or gold. Fortunately, we have the ability to design and place options that will blend seamlessly with your smile. In today’s blog, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist will explain how we create custom-made dental crowns that provide durable restoration and also match your smile.
Don’t Let Halloween Harm Your Smile
Next week is Halloween! While we love watching scary movies and dressing up in costumes, we also know this time of year could lead to increased cavity risk! Even if your community isn’t trick or treating, you’re likely to still be consuming more candy than usual. In today’s blog, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist will explain how to help prevent tooth decay.
Restoring Your Smile With A Filling
Cavities are no joke, and if left unattended, they can have some serious effects on your oral health. Fortunately, if they are spotted early on and taken care of in a timely manner, your smile can be restored and appear as good as new! While you may be practicing consistent routine care at home as well as following up with your dentist for regular check-ups and examinations, cavities can still form, and it is crucial you come in to learn about your restorative dental options sooner rather than later. At Woodland Hills Dental Arts in Woodland Hills, California, our team can help you achieve the smile you deserve while ensuring its health with a natural-looking composite or dental ceramic filling.
