One of the most common concerns that people bring to their dentist has to do with the coloration of their teeth. Years of use can leave stains deep within your enamel that simply will not come away no matter how hard you brush. The optimal way to avoid this issue is through strict maintenance of your oral health. This includes your home health routine of twice-daily brushing and routine flossing. It also includes setting and following through on your regular scheduled cleaning and examination.

One of the most fun aspects of working in oral care, and particularly surgery, is the creativity in which care providers can operate.

It is a dental surgeon’s job to tie together the functional and the cosmetic elements of any procedure. Even impermanent situations like temporary crowns still have to look gorgeous while they are in place.

With this innovation comes the ability sometimes to address multiple concerns during a single surgery. This can be fantastic for a few reasons. This can save you time, and also the stress upon your natural biological material.
