You may occasionally think to yourself, “Oh well, I know I should brush my teeth but if they end up looking bad, I’ll just get them whitened.” Or, you may have other thoughts along the same lines, which primarily include the idea that if you end up with poor oral health, you’ll just go ahead and rely on x, y, or z as your failsafe. Unfortunately, you may be missing out on the fact that you always need to brush, floss, and receive our preventive care as your foundation. Otherwise, getting your smile back into the shape you want may prove harder than you imagined!

#1: Cosmetic Dentistry

If your plan was always to just cover up or fix the results of bad dental hygiene with cosmetic dentistry, then it is time to think again! The only way you can receive cosmetic treatments is if you have good oral health. We cannot cover up disease or problems until your smile is healthy. So, start getting serious about your prevention now, see us for any treatments you may require, and then if you have any remaining esthetic problems, we will be able to address them.

#2: Dental Implants

“Oh well!” you may think. “If I lose my teeth, I’ll just replace them with implants!” Here’s what you need to remember: We cannot simply drop some implants into your smile if your oral health is in bad condition. You may first need to go through extensive care for problems, whether you require restorative dentistry, periodontics, or even oral surgery! Remember, neglecting your smile can yield all types of complications that will leave your mouth incapable of supporting implants. Plan to keep your teeth intact with excellent care and reserve implants for issues you simply could not avoid.
