5 Ways To Enhance Your Smile

Summer is approaching, and it is time to get your healthy on. While eating better and working out, another strategy and item you should consider is your smile! Your dental goals will depend on what your cosmetic dentist suggests. 

Several procedures can be done to improve your smile. 

1. Veneers - They can improve the look of damaged or stained teeth. 
2. Composite fillings are a very safe way to replace cavities with non-toxic materials. But they also ensure that you preserve the natural appearance of your smile. 
3. Crowns and Bridges - while these may be more expensive and take more time to improve your overall smile, they might be worth it to restore your smile to a shape, color, and size, building a beautiful smile. 
4. Teeth whitening. While this is one of the most common cosmetic dental procedures, it can ensure you have the beautiful smile you seek without invasive treatment. 
5. Enamel Bonding - the material used is moldable and provides a restorative look to your smile. 

If you are looking for cosmetic dental procedures but are unsure where to start, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team today.

Get Your Questions Answered About Cosmetic Dental Procedures:

At the office of Dr. Judy Strutz, we understand it can be scary to schedule a dental appointment for cosmetic dental procedures, especially when you are not sure of what procedures you really need or what is going to be recommended. Here are the questions and answers to the top 3 questions asked by patients about dental procedures.

1.     How much will it cost?

The cost of the procedures will depend on the procedure that is recommended and that you choose, but before Dr. Strutz and her team does anything you will know exactly what your investment is going to be.

2.     Will it take long?

The time that it takes will depend on the cosmetic dental procedures that are being preformed. Some procedures take less than a few hours and require a single visit, while others may mean several different appointments, over a longer period of time. An initial consultation can help guide you in determining your timeline.

3.     Is there a benefit to getting treatment when I’m not in pain?

Pain is an awful reason to get dental care. First, many times it means the treatment will take longer and it always ends up costing significantly more. Getting cosmetic or general dental treatment can actually be quite pleasant when pain is not present and the you recieve help better you can expect your outcome to be, not only for the health of your smile, but also for the health of your body as well. Getting cosmetic dental procedures done now, can cost less and generally mean less time for healing.

It’s Never Too Late

A common misconception among individuals is that if you have decay or other more severe dental problems that it is too late to get it fixed. While it used to be more difficult to help support certain problems such as tooth loss, this is no longer the case. Modern dental technology allows for Dr. Judy Strutz and her team to provide cosmetic dental procedures to improve your smile and prevent tooth loss as well.

Current technology allows for veneers to be placed on the front of teeth in order to improve the look of your smile. If you have uneven or broken teeth this may be the best solution for you.

If you have missing teeth you no longer need to wait for months in order to get a fixed denture. Now, there is amazing dental technology that allows you to receive a denture that stays in place relatively quickly. Dr. Judy Strutz and her team will begin by evaluating your smile to determine if you are a candidate for a fixed denture. Once that is determined, she will work hand in hand with other providers to help create a denture that doesn’t move when eating or speaking. The procedure further allows for teeth to look more natural without needing to be taken out ever.

There is no reason to wait until you no longer can eat the foods you love, or no longer attend certain events with friends because you are embarrassed by your smile. We can help.

3 Facts About Malocclusion

Malocclusions are problems with the jaw. This can create anything from minimal pain or no pain to extreme pain depending on the type of malocclusion you have. There are a variety of causes of malocclusion including childhood trauma or sucking your thumb for a longer period of time as a kid, or severe injury that caused misalignment of your jaw.  Here are 3 facts about malocclusions you may not know.

1.     No amount of jaw pain is normal. You may think your pain is minimal and therefore is acceptable, but this is not the case. Living with malocclusion may seem minor at first, but can lead to more severe pain and problems later on.

2.     There are 3 different categories of malocclusion. The first type is the most common and usually does not cause pain. This is a situation when you smile, your front teeth overlap your bottom teeth. The 2 class is more severe and this occurs when your upper teeth severely overlap your bottom jaw and teeth.  The 3^rd is when the lower jaw juts forward, causing the lower jaw and teeth to overlap.

3.     There are a variety of symptoms of malocclusion including pain, speech difficulties, mouth breathing and abnormal appearance of the face.

Dr. Strutz and her office can provide you with information on how severe your malocclusion is and options to allow you to live your life free of jaw pain.
