When you receive a custom-designed denture to replace your lost teeth and rebuild your dental ridge, it can feel like getting a brand-new smile. With advanced imaging and design technologies, along with highly lifelike and customizable dental materials, your dentist can create a restoration that closely mimics the size, shape, appearance, and function of your healthy, natural teeth.

How Well Is Your Dental Bridge Secured?
After receiving a dental bridge to replace one or more lost teeth, the long-term results of your restoration can depend on several different factors. For example, how well you take care of your teeth and dental bridge will largely determine the state of your oral health and how well your restoration is able to hold up. In addition, the restoration’s construction, including the materials that it’s crafted from and the system that supports it, can also have a significant impact on the overall quality and functionality of the dental bridge. For instance, for many patients, a dental bridge can last longer and perform better if it’s supported by lifelike dental implants. (more…)

To accomplish this, restorative dental treatments have always sought to mimic healthy, natural teeth as closely as possible.

What Snoring and Daytime Tiredness Could Mean
The biggest problem with snoring is that many people who do it consistently don’t consider it a problem. Because of this, they fail to seek treatment for it, allowing it to continuously impact the quality of their breathing while they sleep. For some people, snoring can also be a problem because it indicates a more severe condition, such as sleep apnea, which can impact your sleep and breathing patterns more significantly by causing you stop breathing completely while you sleep. This means you may not only snore constantly, but also experience signs of sleep deprivation, including increased instances of excessive tiredness and fatigue every day. (more…)
