Preventative Dental Care Tips

1 – Brush your teeth every single day. One of the most important steps you can take to prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease is to brush your teeth daily without fail. A good rule of thumb is brushing your teeth twice a day (for at least two minutes each session). Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean your teeth and gums. 

2 – Floss at least once a day. Flossing is yet another essential part of practicing preventive dental care. It helps to clear away dental plaque and food particles between teeth and along your gum line. There are many flossing options available to you, so be sure to find one that works best for you and then do it! 

3 – Limit sweet and acidic foods and beverages. Sugary and acidic foods and drinks can erode tooth enamel and lead to cavities and tooth decay. You want to limit your intake of these items, such as candy, soda, and citrus fruits, take the time to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water afterward to remove any lingering sugar or acid.

4 – See our prosthodontists regularly. Routine dental checkups are essential to maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. Our skilled prosthodontists can detect early signs of tooth decay and periodontal disease and recommend treatment before the problems worsen. They can also clean your teeth and remove any plaque or tartar buildup, which can otherwise leave you facing tooth decay and gum disease.

5 – Rinse with mouthwash. Mouthwash is another useful tool for preventing tooth decay and gum disease. It can help kill bacteria and freshen your breath to complement your daily flossing and brushing. A good choice of mouthwash is one that contains fluoride and antimicrobial agents and use it as recommended.

6 – Kick the smoking habit. Smoking leads to a host of dental problems, including tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer. Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your oral and overall health!.

You may think of dentistry as being mainly functional, and it definitely is that, but for our team it’s also about bringing a touch of artistry to the dental work we perform for you. All of our prosthodontists, Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok, are committed to bringing you the functional and aesthetically pleasing smile you desire and deserve. Our cosmetic dentistry options beautifully correct unsightly cosmetic imperfections in your teeth using dental veneers, dental bonding or teeth whitening.

1-Dental Veneers
These custom-crafted wafer thin porcelain or resin shells are bonded onto the front of your teeth. Veneers can beautify a single tooth or your whole mouth! They are ideal for sealing gaps or spaces between teeth, brightening stained or discolored teeth and straightening uneven looking teeth. They can even fix slightly twisted, curved teeth and restore a tooth that has sustained minor damage. We make your veneers in our onsite dental lab with our master technicians for the highest quality and a long-lasting smile.

2-Dental Bonding
If you are having a tooth bonded, we will place a composite resin material right onto the tooth. Our prosthodontist will expertly shape and sculpt the bonded area to fit your tooth and fix any flaws in how it looks. After the resin has hardened we can trim and polish it to perfection, leaving your smile with a long lasting beautiful restoration. This treatment effectively closes tooth gaps and spaces between teeth, corrects a tooth’s shape and color and restores teeth that are chipped or cracked. Not only will your teeth blend in naturally with the rest of your teeth with dental bonding, but we can often perform this treatment in just one comfortable visit to our office.

3-Teeth Whitening
If you have been wanting your teeth to look whiter and brighter our professional teeth whitening treatment might be your best bet! We can effectively lighten stained and discolored teeth that have darkened due to normal aging, lax dental hygiene care, drinking staining drinks (coffee, tea, wine and soda) and foods (berries, tomato-based sauces, soy sauce and curry). Your teeth can also stain dramatically if you use tobacco in any form, and from some medications and illnesses.

Whatever cosmetic changes you would like to make in your smile, our prosthodontists are excited to make those for you. To learn more or to schedule your consultation, please call 303-586-1019 today!

Never Ignore a Toothache

A toothache can arise for several reasons including severe infection that has damaged a big area of the tooth and the supportive bone material. Another cause is when tooth decay has ravaged a tooth so much that it can’t be fixed with a dental restoration. Also, our doctors may extract a tooth when there is extensive crowding in the mouth from having too many teeth to fit properly. Don’t worry though, if you have a tooth that needs pulling, our prosthodontists can use sedation dentistry to make sure your tooth extraction is both comfortable and as painless as possible. We understand that your dental experience leaves a lasting impression.

Once one or more teeth are gone, our skilled Denver Restorative Dentistry team can replace missing teeth. We have a variety of tooth replacement choices that we have used to help many satisfied patients smile again with pride by replacing lost teeth with one of our premier dental restorations:

One of our specialties is cosmetic dentistry. We know how to correct the flaws in your smile, whether it’s cracked or chipped teeth, unsightly gaps between teeth, stained teeth, misaligned or worn down teeth to improve your smile without sacrificing your tooth and gum health. Our cosmetic dentistry solutions include dental veneers, dental bonding, and teeth whitening – all designed to give you the polished, flawless smile you deserve!

Dental Veneers

These thin porcelain or resin shells are applied to the front of your teeth to correct teeth that are misshapen, chipped or discolored, whether for one or all of your teeth. Dental veneers beautifully close the gaps in your teeth, brighten them, straighten uneven, twisted or curved teeth, as well as fix minor damage teeth.

Dental Bonding

By placing a tooth-colored composite resin material onto a flawed tooth, our experienced prosthodontists can shape and sculpt it to overcome flaws so it looks good again. Once hardened, it is polished and shaped to fit perfectly on the tooth. Bonding is good for closing gaps between teeth, correcting a tooth’s shape, lightening unsightly tooth stains, and restoring teeth damaged by chips or cracks. When finished, your bonded teeth will blend in perfectly with your surrounding teeth!

Teeth Whitening

This treatment expertly whitens and brightens stained or discolored teeth, whether from lax dental hygiene care, aging, consuming staining foods and beverages, tobacco use of any kind, sickness, fluorosis or staining medications. Our prosthodontists will look at your goals to come up with a teeth whitening treatment that works for you and how you want your teeth to appear when it comes to brightness and aesthetic appeal.

Denver Restorative Dentistry provides dental crowns to cap a lost tooth, covering the entire surface from the gums upward. With the help of a dental crown, your smile can once again look complete as the tooth is restored to its normal size, shape and function. Our dental crowns are made from only premium materials so that you don’t sacrifice quality when it comes to your new crown. Ideally, you want your new dental crown to last for many years. By restoring your tooth with a zirconia or porcelain crown, you can be sure that your crown will not only look beautiful and natural but that it will also be long-lasting.

Our skilled and experienced prosthodontists, Drs. Taylor Goggins, Brian Aguirre and Anna Pitz work to make sure that your new tooth will blend into your smile while maintaining your facial structure. We want to make sure your dental crown looks and feels natural. We design and create your crown to perfection in our in-house lab, and if you need a temporary crown while your permanent one is being created, we can make sure you have one.

Our prosthodontists have decades of experience creating tooth replacement options and will bring our expertise to yours as well. Your crown will be made to fit perfectly and look like your natural tooth with its precise fit.

With over 60 years of combined experience, our dental lab technicians are able to design and shade your crown to fit the shape and color of your teeth. If needed, we have a master ceramist who can match the shade of your crown while you sit in the chair. We want to make sure your final crown is perfect!

The Beauty of Implant-Supported Dentures
Still, damaged teeth can’t always be saved, and should they be lost or require extraction, there are permanent restorations available to give you your confident smile back. If you have lost multiple teeth, our highly skilled prosthodontists, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz can offer you a stable, long-lasting tooth replacement solution referred to as implant-supported dentures.

In-House Creation
Created in our onsite dental lab, these prosthetic devices are supported in each jaw with 4 to 6 implants to give your new teeth the most secure fit, function and appearance. Our dental team uses only the highest quality materials so you can proceed with confidence. Your implant-supported denture is created in our on-site dental lab by our master dental technicians to ensure optimal fit and appearance. By installing the dental implants into your jawbone and after a period of healing, the denture can then be connected to the dental implants so your new dentures feel like your own teeth.

Superior Fit and Hold
While traditional dentures are suitable for many people, they still aren’t as stable or sturdy as dentures supported by dental implants. You never have to worry about your implant-supported dentures slipping or sliding around at inopportune moments. You can eat, speak and chew around your friends, family, co-workers and anywhere in public, without fear because the implants in your jawbone hold them in place just like your natural teeth.

Right for You?
If you are ready for the life-changing difference implant-supported dentures can offer you, we welcome you to schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our skilled prosthodontists. We will consider your goals, evaluate your medical history and determine how best to move forward with the individualized treatment you want to reach your goal.

To make sure you have all the options available to you, we are happy to review all treatment possibilities available so you can make the most informed decision for your unique needs, without feeling pressured to make the best choice for you. Should you choose implant-supported dentures (anchored dentures or an All-on-4® treatment) we will work with you to achieve your goals and help you keep your new smile healthy. If you take good care of your new implant-supported dentures like you would your natural teeth, they can last for your lifetime of smiles you won’t want to hide!
