If you have kids, adolescents or teens that may have a bite issue, Dental Care of Corona can help. Dental Care of Corona will assess the situation and recommend orthodontic treatment.

Give Yourself the Gift of a New Smile

For the best holiday smile, you cannot beat cosmetic dentistry, and if you want to treat yourself to a new toothy grin, call and schedule an appointment with your dentist who can help you come up with a plan that may include tooth whitening, dental veneers, tooth colored fillings or dental bonding. Your cosmetic dentist may also recommend inlays, onlays, dental crowns; tooth colored fillings or dental implants. If you have always thought your gums were too large for your smile, your dentist may also recommend gummy smile repair.

A gummy smile can make you feel self-conscious when you smile. Your smile has everything to do with perception and aesthetics and if you are showing too much gum tissue and your gums are more prominent when you smile than your teeth, you may have a gummy smile. If you have a gummy smile, your teeth will appear smaller than they should.

According to your dentist, gummy smiles happen when your teeth and gums are out of proportion with each other. The position of your upper lip also comes into play and can be a combination of several things. These include the amount of gum tissue that you have on display, the shape, and size of your teeth, the degree, and the length of the movement of your upper lip and the vertical positioning of your teeth and upper jaw in relationship to your head or skull.

You may have a gummy smile for a variety of reasons. However, only your dentist can provide you with the critical diagnosis that is needed to repair your gummy smile. According to your dentist, several factors could be causing your gummy smile, but it is imperative that you have the correct diagnosis and treatment as incorrect gummy smile correction procedures could make the problem worse.

If you are unhappy with your smile, call and schedule an appointment with your dentist who can come up with a plan to give you the grin that you deserve. Call or click today.

If you have a habit of making New Year’s resolutions, be sure that you put healthier teeth and gums on your list. Your teeth and gums are the gateway to the rest of your body, and if you haven’t had a dental checkup for a while, make an appointment today.

Seeing your dentist twice a year is imperative if you want to keep tooth decay and gum disease in check. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular dental appointments are just as important as brushing twice and flossing once a day when it comes to preventive dental care.

During your comprehensive dental examination, your dentist, or dental hygienist, will clean your teeth while evaluating your gums looking for bone loss, swelling or inflammation and redness. Your dentist may also use a probe to gently poke your gums. If bleeding is present, your dentist may recommend scaling and planing or refer you to a specialist, also known as a periodontist.

Other evaluations that will be included during your dental examination include a check of your mouth, neck and face for abnormalities. Your dentist will also evaluate your risk for tooth decay and other oral health issues. X-rays will also be taken so that your dentist can check for problems with dental restorations, such as cavities underneath existing fillings and crowns and other problems that cannot be seen during a visual dental examination.  

Your dentist will talk to you about your oral hygiene habits and your diet. What you eat and drink is just as important as brushing and flossing when it comes to your teeth and gums. If signs of gum disease are present, your dentist may also show you how to brush and floss properly. During this part of your comprehensive dental examination, your dentist will ask about any medications that you may be taking. Smoking, tooth loss consequences, and the benefits of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and implants will also be discussed.

Take stock of your health this year and include a comprehensive dental examination on your New Year’s resolution list.

Laser Dentistry in Corona

With more than 40 years of combined experience, Dental Care of Corona has the expertise to provide you with the best dental care whether you need to replace your silver amalgam fillings or require extensive restorative dental treatment.

Laser Dentistry involves the use of a soft-tissue laser that takes the guesswork out of identifying tooth decay. In the past, your dentist had to resort to painful prodding and poking in order to identify a cavity, as tooth decay can hide on the back molars and along the fissure lines.

Lasers are used for a variety of dental procedures include gum reshaping if periodontal disease is detected. Laser Dentistry can also help with root canal procedures and are used to remove tooth decay and for tooth whitening.

These days your dentist can use Laser Dentistry in Corona using a Diagnodent, which is revolutionary in detecting cavities making your dental checkup, fast, easy, and most importantly, painless.

Laser Dentistry can also be used to recontour your gum line, remove lesions that look suspicious for biopsy and treat contaminated gum pockets. Laser Dentistry in Corona is also used for fever blisters and canker sores.

According to Web MD, Laser Dentistry has been used since 1994 after being approved by the FDA. The lasers that your dentist uses are different from cold lasers that are often used to treat inflammation and pain.

Dental Lasers deliver energy, and when used for dental procedures vaporize the tissue. If your dentist is using a dental laser to fill a tooth, the laser helps strengthen and harden the material that sits between your tooth and the filling. When your dentist uses a laser for tooth whitening, the laser enhances the tooth-bleaching product while acting as a heat source.

Laser Dentistry often reduces the need for an anesthetic as Laser Dentistry may cause the patient less pain. Patients who have a fear of the dentist can also benefit with the use of Laser Dentistry as it helps reduce anxiety. Laser Dentistry can minimize swelling and bleeding, especially during soft tissue dental treatments and can help your dentist preserve the healthy part of your tooth if a dental filling is required.
