Crossbite: If you close your mouth and some of your upper teeth rest inside your lower teeth, then you have a crossbite. Unfortunately, this can cause wear and tear of your teeth (‘chipping’) and make your gums recede. This can lead to discomfort, painful gum issues, and even bone loss. Gap Teeth: Having extra space between two or more of your teeth can create small pockets between your teeth and gums where food can get stuck and plaque can build up. This can leave your gums tender, sore and even lead to gum disease. Invisalign can also be used to help children develop their jaws and arches, as well as fix any pre-existing conditions that may, overtime, get worse.

If you have extrinsic discoloration/staining, start by trying a stain-removing toothpaste for a couple of weeks. Going for a stain-removing electric toothbrush can make a big difference here, too. Staining can also be removed during a professional teeth cleaning. If you have intrinsic yellowing, no amount of stain-removing toothpaste can lighten the inner color of the tooth. You’ll need to whiten your teeth using a bleaching gel that is held up against the teeth (but don’t run out to buy whitening strips quite yet!).

As we age, the outer layer of tooth enamel wears away. The underlying layer, called dentin, is yellower. That’s why it’s important to try to avoid staining teeth in the first place, especially after whitening. If you take care with foods and drinks that discolor teeth, the results of whitening may last up to one year. Whitening teeth too often could make them look translucent and blue, so you’ll want to maintain your new smile.

Watch Out for Sweet Medicine: Children’s medications can be flavored and sugary. If they stick on the teeth, the chance of cavities goes up. Children on medications for chronic conditions such as asthma and heart problems often have a higher decay rate. Babies are born with all their teeth – you can’t see them because they are hidden in the gums. Baby teeth start to break through the gums around 6 months but it is important to start good oral care for infants even before the first tooth comes in. From healthy gums come healthy teeth. Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft washcloth after feeding. This helps remove the bacteria that can cause tooth decay.

Avoid sugary foods. When bacteria in the mouth break down simple sugars, they produce acids that can erode tooth enamel, opening the door to decay. Sugary drinks, including soft drinks and fruit drinks, pose a special threat because people tend to sip them, raising acid levels over a long period of time. Sticky candies are another culprit, because they linger on teeth surfaces.

Improved Functionality: Dental restorations that are secured with dental implants can function like natural teeth. You will be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Traditional dentures, on the other hand, will slip or shift in the mouth while eating or speaking. Implant secured restorations are securely anchored in the jawbone, providing a stable base for chewing and speaking. Improved Aesthetics: Your new dental implant secured restoration will look and feel just like natural teeth. We will custom make them to match the shape, size, and color of the surrounding teeth. This will provide a seamless and natural looking smile. This is especially important for people who have lost front teeth and their new teeth will significantly impact their overall appearance.
