A healthy smile is considered to be one of the most socially important features of a person’s face. It’s why Americans will spend up to $1.4 billion every year on teeth whitening products. However, it isn’t always the brightness of our teeth that can have the biggest impact on our self-confidence, but rather replacing missing teeth. Missing teeth can have a big impact on a person’s self-esteem as well as their oral health. Fortunately, cosmetic dental care can help fill in the gaps of your smile using a dental bridge.

A root canal is a dental procedure conducted when a patient’s tooth has become damaged due to injury, infection, or decay. Typically, the enamel and dentin of the tooth have been tampered with by bacteria, which has infected the soft tissue within the tooth, called the pulp. During the root canal procedure, a dentist creates a hole in the side of the biting area of the tooth. The tooth is then disinfected using either fine tools or medication. The hole is then filled with a sterile material and the tooth is crowned. Many dentistry patients don’t look forward to a […]
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental care procedure many Americans choose to use to improve their self-confidence.

Yet its normalcy doesn’t make minor pain and sensitivity any less annoying to deal with. Fortunately, there are ways you can help […]
A good smile is considered to be one of the most important parts of a person’s appearance. However, only up to 35% of American adults have teeth that are naturally well-aligned.

However, those who receive teeth bonding treatments may find that their teeth begin to feel odd after a number of […]
In the United States, approximately nine out of every 10 adults suffers from some kind of tooth decay. Fortunately for Americans suffering from tooth decay, a tooth crown is considered to be one of the most common forms of restoration. A tooth crown is when a dentist removes the decay so that the tooth itself is significantly smaller than before but healthy. An aluminum or silver cap is then placed over the remaining tooth to allow for proper function. This is done in order to preserve the life of the pre-existing tooth. Despite how common it is to receive a […]
According to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, more than half of the U.S. adult population over the age of 50 believes that a person’s smile remains one of the most attractive features even as they age. However, keeping our teeth straight and white can become more difficult later in life. Like bones, teeth become more brittle the older you get and are prone to chips, cracks, and falling out. This can affect your self-esteem and others’ perception of you. Fortunately, cosmetic dental care can help you keep your smile looking great even as you age […]
Of those surveyed in an AACD survey, 99.7% of adults believe in the social importance of a healthy and beautiful smile. If a person’s teeth are not straight or white, it can often lead to unwanted assumptions regarding their quality of life or personality. For instance, a person’s quality of work may be assumed based on the quality of their smile. A person who takes good care of their teeth, one of the smallest details of the body, can therefore be assumed to take great care of their work. Fortunately, if you have been cursed with an unfortunate flaw in […]

If your teeth are healthy, but you’re looking to advance the appearance of your teeth such as brightening your […]
Among adults over the age of 20, nine of 10 suffer from at least some level of tooth decay. If the decay is far enough advanced, dentists may need to remove the tooth entirely for the sake of the patient’s health. And depending on the location of the removal, the loss of a tooth may result in a less favorable smile. For Americans, a good smile is an indicator of good health and good social standing. Because of this, a subpar smile can often lead to low self-esteem. Luckily, for those looking to enhance their smile aside in ways that […]
