Healthy Gums
We now know that there is a significant link between gum disease, and achieving optimum dental and overall body health. The secret to a healthy smile is early oral diagnosis at the first signs of disease. By using the latest science and technology we can very effectively treat the mouth and re-establish dental health. Then we create a program that teaches our patients how to keep their mouths healthy, which will then contribute to a balanced, healthy body. To learn more about how the use of the latest microsonic technology, gum-disease site-specific lasers and site-specific oral medications destroy bacteria, click here.
Healthy Bite
If your teeth do not touch evenly and with the equal amount of pressure, the muscles that surround and support the jaw and face become stressed and unbalanced. Although some wear is a normal part of dental aging, excessive wear can be a sign of serious problems. Unbalanced muscles and uneven pressure on the teeth can cause gum recession, bone loss, and worn and fractured teeth. It can also lead to TMJ problems, as well as chronic headaches, neck and back pain, and premature facial aging. With modern technology, it is now possible to create a healthy, balanced bite at any age.
"I always thought my bite was just fine. So when Dr. McConnell told me that my bite was 'off,' that it wasn't even, I had difficulty believing it. I knew there were some changed in my mouth - I saw the gum recession, and I saw the bone loss in comparing my x-rays, but I did not understand for i could be related to my bite...it felt fine. WOW. After Dr. McConnell finished the treatment to make by bite feel even and balanced, I got it. My bite feels great - now I get it. I feel the difference, it feels more balanced and even. I am totally glad I did it." – Greg
Beautiful Teeth
The good news – teeth that typically look good are in the correct position – equaling not only a beautiful smile but also a healthy smile. When large silver or mercury fillings are replaced by strong all-ceramic restorations, the entire structure of the tooth is stronger and healthier.
When teeth are restored to their ideal size and shape after dental aging has them causes to chip and wear down, they function so much better. They not only work for a balanced, healthy bite, but the improved appearance adds confidence to one’s smile as well. One of the most important reasons for a smile makeover is simply to “reverse” the signs of dental aging. Our number one goal is to restore proper health and function, thereby creating a naturally beautiful smile as well. To view examples of our smile makeover results, click here.
