Proper Flossing Helps Encourage Excellent Oral Health in Phoenix and Glendale

February 15, 2017

Flossing, along with brushing your teeth, is one of the best preventive dentistry methods.Contrary to popular belief, there is a correct and incorrect way to floss your teeth. It’s just as important as brushing and can help you achieve optimal oral health. After every meal you consume, food particles become lodged in between your teeth and under the gum line. If food particles are left in between teeth, it can lead to bacterial buildup that can leave your teeth at risk of becoming infected. Flossing can give your oral health a major boost when done correctly. Too often, people either don’t spend enough time flossing or are performing the task incorrectly.

At Smile Fitness Dental Centers, we care deeply about the state of your oral health. Great oral health encourages good overall health, which is very beneficial for your wellbeing. Flossing, along with brushing your teeth, is one of the best preventive dentistry methods. Dr. Gordon and Dr. Green are the dentists Glendale and Phoenix, AZ residents can trust for valuable dental advice.

Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants in Phoenix

September 24, 2016

senior woman who replaced missing teeth with dental implantsIf you lost your shoes, chances are you wouldn’t think about going to the store to buy just one shoe to replace them both, so why does it make sense to only replace one half your lost tooth? The short answer is – it doesn’t. Traditional tooth replacement solutions only renewed those parts of teeth that were visible above the gum line, but without the supportive underlying root system, these replacement teeth relied on surrounding dental structures for support. In order to provide the most natural restoration, we may recommend patients consider our dental implant supported tooth replacement options.

Father and daughter great tooth brushing skills from Smile Fitness Dental CenterDental practitioners began encouraging a focus on preventive dentistry over 100 years ago, but according to a recent study, more people in the world own smart phones than toothbrushes. In the US alone, some estimates indicate that 80% of adults have some form of periodontal (gum) disease. Poor oral health puts people at a higher risk for numerous systemic diseases and chronic illnesses, but it remains difficult to reinforce the connection between oral and whole body health and encourage patients to invest in their dental care.

Smile Fitness Dental Center: Dental Implants

May 29, 2015

Filed under: Implant Dentistry — Tags: , , , — smile_fitness @ 5:47 pm

smile and dental mirrorMissing teeth can stand between you and a healthy, happier smile. We all want to look our best, and our teeth are no different. Missing teeth can drag anyone’s confidence down, but there is hope with dental implants in Glendale, AZ from Smile Fitness Dental Centers. The Glendale, AZ and Phoenix, AZ offices are ready to help!

 

Implant Dentistry Overview

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to support a restoration for a missing tooth or teeth, helping to stop or prevent jaw bone loss. Losing teeth can be a drag and a confidence killer. Dental implants provide patients with the strength and stability to eat all the foods you love without struggling to chew. In addition, dental implants stimulate and maintain the jaw bone, thus avoiding bone loss and helping to preserve facial features.

Common tooth-loss factors:

  • Tooth decay
  • Root canal failure
  • Gum disease (Periodontitis)
  • Trauma to the mouth (tooth injury)
  • Excessive wear and tear
  • Congenital defects

 

Dental Implant Procedure

So, how does it all work? The dental implant procedure is broken down into two parts: preparation and placement.

Preparation is important. To begin, a small-diameter hole (pilot hole) is drilled at edentulous (where there is no tooth) jaw sites in order to guide the titanium screw that holds a dental implant in place. Our dentists use great skill and expertise when boring the pilot hole and sizing the jaw bone.

Placement is where it all comes together. The initial pilot hole is slowly widened to allow placement of the implant screw. Once in place, the surrounding gum tissue is secured over the implant and a protective cover screw is placed on top to allow the site to heal. After up to six months of healing, the implant is uncovered and an abutment (holds the crown replacement) is attached to the implant. Once the abutment is in place, a temporary crown will be created. Once the gum grows and shapes itself naturally, the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent crown.

 

Implant Dentistry Services

  • Consultation to completion all done in either of our locations
  • Quality, proven, reliable procedures at affordable fees
  • Exam and X-Rays
