Beautiful Smiles

 

Have you walked by someone and had them smile at you? Have you wondered how did they get that beautiful smile? Do you find that you are more likely to hide your smile during pictures? Well, no more! We want to help you achieve a beautiful and healthy smile. Our goal at Dr. Strutz's office is to ensure that every patient walks out with a smile they love to show off. 

 

The dental practices of the future are different than those of the past. Here are 4 opportunities you might want more information to improve your smile. 

 

1. Restorations. This, can help improve the shape and color of your teeth. 
   
2. Dentures or partial dentures. Depending on the problem you are facing, this might be a great way to ensure your smile lasts a lifetime. 
3. Porcelain Fixed Bridges. When a patient has mismatched enamel color, poor fit around your gum line from a different bridge, or a chipped tooth, this could be the best option for you.
4. Crowns. Do you have a cracked or broken tooth? Talk to our team about the option of a crown.

Do You Know The Symptoms?

 

Do you know the symptoms of dental decay or to tell when your smile is being impacted by dental decay? It may seem like a minor problem or inconvenience that will go away on its own, but unfortunately, that is not the case. Here are 4 symptoms of dental decay so you know what to look for:

1. Toothache or pain. You might wake up one day and feel pain seemingly out of now where. It may also occur without any cause or without you really knowing why.
2. Sensitivity. You might feel extreme or minor sensitivity when you begin to consume items that are hot, or cold. This might occur when you are eating or drinking things. How sensitive it is can vary depending on a variety of factors.
3. Staining on the surface of the tooth. The color can be brown, white, or black and it can be on any surface of the tooth.
4. Holes in the tooth surface. Depending on the size of the hold will depend on whether you can see it or not.

Your smile is vitally important to your overall health and self-confidence. Don’t let decay steal your smile, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team today.

Your Smile Matters!

 

Your smile matters, and your smile must be as healthy as possible right now. If you have dental decay, periodontal disease, or another problem with your teeth that is impacting you, it could be impacting your overall health as well. By visiting the dental office you can consult with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team. Here are 3 cosmetic dental procedures that might improve the health of your smile.

1. Composite Dental Bonding. This is one of the easiest and most efficient procedures to improve your smile if you have a crack in your tooth that is minor.

 

1. Dental veneers. There is a layer of material that is placed over the existing tooth. This helps to improve the look of your smile but doesn’t damage the structure or integrity of your smile in any way.

1. Dentures. These are not your grandma or grandpa’s dentures. You no longer have to worry about dentures falling out in the mash potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner, or worry about finding your teeth in the morning before you get out of bed. There are now options to get your smile back in order and get you back to where you want to be.

Your smile is the backbone of your health. Don’t take chances. For more information on other cosmetic dental health procedures, contact our team today!

Too Many Choices?

 

When you go to the store to purchase mouthwash do you feel like there are too many choices and you are not sure where to even start? With different brands, flavors, and different goals, each one has it’s own unique job when it comes to keeping your smile healthy. Here are 3 tips to choosing the right type of mouthwash,

1. Make sure it has the Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. If it does not have this, you do not want to use this product. It should meet certain guidelines to ensure it meets safety and efficacy standards.
2. You want to understand the goal you have in mind for your smile. There are two types of mouthwashes. One is for therapeutic or cosmetic.
3. If you have a specific dental concern such as bad breath, you might want to consider a therapeutic mouthwash, or if you have plague, gum issues or dry mouth.  

While it can be difficult to find the right mouthwash for you, knowing why you are purchasing it and knowing what dental concerns you have, can ensure you pick the right mouthwash for the purpose at hand.

Defy the Odds

You may not have the smile that your next-door neighbor has, or you may have even unfortunately been made fun of growing up because your teeth were crooked, or because you had spaces between your teeth. Whatever the case may have been, that is not what you need to have now. It’s not just about the cosmetic look of your smile, it’s about the health. Did you know that people who have teeth that are close together are less likely to floss, which can lead to dental disease and other problems within your body?

It is essential that your smile live up to its potential because your entire body is dependent upon the health of your smile. If your mouth has bacteria and dental decay your entire body is fighting off that infection which can cause fatigue, heart trouble and various other health concerns.

Don’t waste another minute hiding your smile behind your lips or avoiding the truth that stares you in the face when you brush your teeth at night. Take a step in the direction of your health and defy the odds for your smile. You have a right to have the healthy smile that you deserve.

A Valentines Gift That Keeps On Giving

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Is it time for you to give yourself a gift that you can love and appreciate for a lifetime? There is no shortage of chocolate, flowers, or jewelry, but the gift of a smile can help get your health on track, allow you to enjoy social activities you may have once avoided, and give you your self-confidence back. “All-on-4” types of dentures may be just the present you need this year to change your life around.

Traditional dentures fit in your mouth and may move. Many people have to use bonding material to keep them fitted to your gums and you may decide after some time it is not worth wearing them because they hurt, or because they fall out when you consume certain foods. An “All-on-4” type of denture changes that. They are attached in your mouth using an implant that is placed in your jawbone. This means they do not move when you eat food you love.

“All-on-4” types of dentures, act and look like real teeth. This improves your overall confidence and appearance because when you smile, you are showing off pearly whites. You will need to brush around them to keep them healthy. No need to waste time with a smile you do not love.
