4 Benefits to Having Veneers

Are you looking at improving the look of your smile this summer? Concerned over the family photos that will be taken at reunions and BBQ’s. Well now you have a solution. Veneers are a tooth colored porcelain that is cemented comfortably over your existing teeth. You may be a candidate for veneers if you have stains, cracked or broken teeth, or you have an uneven gum line.

1.     They look and feel like your natural teeth and are shaped to look like natural teeth when you smile.

2.     If you struggle with whitening your teeth due to sensitivity, veneers can accomplish that goal. They can restore your smile to be beautiful and your teeth to be white again. They are largely stain resistant so, you can go ahead and enjoy that morning cup of coffee. 

3.     They can improve the overall aesthetic look of your smile. Years of wearing down your teeth due to bruxism or other dental problems can recreate an even and healthy looking smile.

4.     Veneers can improve your enamel. If you have damage to the enamel on your teeth, it can cause sensitivity, and other problems. Placing veneers on your teeth helps to give them back their armor to protection against drinks and other food items you consume that usually cause sensitivity.

So, go ahead and get that facelift for your smile and feel comfortable sharing it with friends and family this summer at your next BBQ. Contact Dr. Judy Strutz for more information.

7 Ways That Permanent Dentures Improve Your Life

You may think that All-on-4 types of dentures are just the new excitement and they will be out with the old when a newer technology comes along, but these fixed dentures can improve not only the health of your mouth, but can improve your overall self-confidence as well. Here are 7 ways that Dr. Judy Strutz and her team say that fixed dentures can improve your smile.

1.     You do not remove fixed dentures at home each evening. The only time the fixed denture will be removed, is by your dentist during your routine visits.

2.     They are made to fit your mouth and they do not move around when you eat, smile, speak or nod.

3.     Once they are placed in your mouth, you do not have to worry about adhesive, losing them, cleaning them in solution, or about the dog eating them.

4.     You are able to consume foods you may have not been able to eat for a while, including harder foods such as apples and steak.

5.     Smiling is easier and more natural looking because the dentures are made to fit your mouth. The teeth are not too big or too small, and in fact, your denture can be made to look similar to your natural teeth if you’d like.

6.     They look similar to natural teeth, therefore brushing and flossing them, will help keep them looking healthy.

7.     They do not stain like natural teeth. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the morning because your fixed dentures are protected.

4 Cosmetic Dental Procedures That Can Save Your Smile

Life has a way of defining who you are as a person. But your smile does not have define what you share with the world. Individuals who are embarrassed by their smile, tend to have less self-confidence. They may shy away from social interactions afraid of rejection. Dr. Strutz and her team can help rebuild your smile and your self-confidence. Here are 4 cosmetic procedures that can save and restore your smile to a healthy version you love.

1.     Veneers. These are a thin covering that fits over the front of your natural teeth. They are matched to color and sized to fit in your mouth beautifully.

2.     Crowns. Crowns can fix broken or cracked teeth. A crown will fit naturally over your tooth and hold the structure together. This allows you to smile without anyone knowing that once that tooth was cracked or chipped.

3.     Fixed bridge. If you have missing teeth a fixed bridge can place a tooth in the space of the missing one. It stays in and does not need to be removed.

4.     Fillings. Fillings are actually the most common type of restoration. They fill in an area where you have had a cavity. Instead of smiling and seeing a black piece of something in your tooth, now there will be a filing that matches the color of your natural teeth.

Restoring your smile is a great holiday gift to yourself that has the potential to change your future. When you love your smile, you are more willingly to share it with the world. For more information on dental restorative procedures, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team today.
