What you should know is that while a problem that demands tooth extraction is something to worry over, the procedure itself will benefit your well-being in important ways. One reason for this is that you can stop a spreading infection before it extends beyond the tooth itself. Another is that this removal can mark both the end of active discomfort and the start of plans to completely restore your oral health.

A Flexible Solution For Your Needs

Curly NPBCAEvery smile has its own specific needs and strengths. If you have lost a tooth due to infection or physical causes, it is crucial to examine how to best replace the missing material. If there is the possibility of future loss, then a prosthodontic implant procedure with a biointegrated titanium post may be a more suitable solution than other methods of repair. For example, a dental bridge relies upon crowns on either side of the gap. If these teeth are vulnerable to damage from infection or disease, the additional stress could lead to the loss of additional teeth.

Others may be planning for additional loss due to age or illness. Taking positive moves when you have the most time to plan can help you to have a solution that looks beautiful and just feels right. At Balboa Dental Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, we work to achieve comfortable solutions with vigorous bites.

Discover Relief From Oral Discomfort

Comfort NPBCAIf you struggle with the appearance and feel of your smile, know that you are not alone. One of the most common sources of lack of self-confidence comes from how we look. Since our mouths are one of the first ways we connect with new people, issues with confidence can stem from dental concerns. 

Beyond self-doubt is a physical feeling of discomfort with your smile. This can come as a result of a variety of issues including the overnight grinding of teeth. Known as bruxism, this condition can cause serious damage to the enamel.

Another avenue for common dental discomfort lies in infection. When bacteria invade our gums or the interior of our teeth, it can lead to serious pain. Not only can this situation feel awful, but it can put the future of your smile at risk of further degradation. At Balboa Dental Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, we are devoted to giving you the necessary care to ensure that your smile feels and looks its best. Take care of your dental health now before your issue continues to progress!

Sleep Disorders Rooted In Oral Health

Museum NPBCASome of the most common medical concerns affecting sleep have a foundation in the smile. The first of these is bruxism, which is the grinding or gnashing of teeth. This issue can lead to serious damage to a smile starting with the erosion of the enamel. Exposed dental material can develop infection or experience sensitivity.

Sleep apnea is another disorder of this type that centers around the structures of the jaw and throat. When we are at our deepest sleep overnight, we experience a state known as REM (rapid eye movement). Parts of the throat may become incredibly relaxed and affect the same areas that control swallowing and the use of the tongue. During the day, these forms are more rigid and hold their shape. In REM sleep, these can soften and lay over each other, which can block the airway and prevent you from receiving proper oxygen.

Convenient night guards are a convenient non-surgical option that we offer at Balboa Dental Surgery in Newport Beach, CA. These are designed for both apnea and bruxism concerns to help you have the best rest possible! (more…)

Be Proactive With Wisdom Teeth

Teen NPBCAThe growth of the wisdom teeth is an important part of the development of the mouth. Our third and final set of molars typically arrives during the later teen years into college. It is crucial at this time to set strict appointments for imagery so that your oral health provider has all the tools at their disposal. With proper x-rays, the location and speed of the growth of these new teeth can be identified.

If you are around this age, or if you are the parent of a teen, make the effort when it comes to your wisdom teeth. Improper development of these new structures can lead to serious concerns with alignment, when they push your teeth to the front of the mouth. This can create an unattractive smile that is hard to clean and may require an additional procedure to correct. In addition, the final set of molars may cause further issues with the jaw or inflict damage on the enamel.

When extraction is necessary to maintain a beautiful smile, Balboa Dental Surgery in Newport Beach, CA aims to address these teeth before they cause major damage. Take your adolescent dental care seriously!

Elegant Replacement Solutions

Elegant NPBCAAs we grow in age, our smiles become more susceptible to damage and wear. Even with impeccable oral health maintenance, our immune response is slower when we are older. In addition, our enamel does not readily repair itself in the same manner as other areas of the body.

When our natural teeth become a risk to the future of our wellbeing, a beautiful new prosthodontic replacement can help you find your footing.
