Of course, daily oral hygiene care, proper nutrition for healthy teeth and gums along with routine dental cleanings can help your natural teeth survive as long as possible.

But when teeth are lost for whatever reason, it’s important to replace them to avoid bone loss affecting your facial structure and appearance, your speech and chewing abilities. Fortunately, dentures are better today than ever before! Our experienced prosthodontists offer a variety of denture options, including hybrid technologies to give you unmatched stability and comfort.

Thanks to our in-house dental lab, our team controls the whole process of getting dentures, from the moment you walk through our doors to fitting your final dentures, you can be confident you’re receiving the highest quality dentures for your needs. Our master technicians make different types of dentures to help you receive the perfect fit that will ultimately look and feel just like your own smile!

Denture Process/Preparation

One of our experienced doctors will sit down with you and explain your possible treatment options, whether you need to replace one or more teeth. Our goal is to help you eat, speak and smile comfortably again. For example, a partial denture is great for replacing multiple missing teeth as long as you still have natural teeth to support the partial dentures. Complete dentures can restore a full dental arch that has no supporting tooth structures. And All-on-4 implant dentures place a series of four to six dental implants that secure the denture to your jawbone. Once the implants have fully healed and the denture is connected to the implants, your new smile in dentures will feel and function just like your own teeth!

The post A Dental Bridge Can Replace a Tooth With an Untreated Cavity first appeared on Denver Restorative Dentistry.]]> A cavity that affects one of your teeth can often start out small. As time goes on, the tooth decay will continue to spread. If you forego professional treatment with Dr. Taylor Goggins, the tooth can become so badly compromised that it severely fractures near the gumline.

Dr. Goggins might be able to treat a tooth in this condition by performing a root canal. This will save the tooth so that it can serve as an anchor for a dental crown.

In a case where the damage to the tooth is severe, or a large abscess develops in the gums Dr. Goggins might suggest an extraction. After any infected material has been removed, Dr. Goggins will suture your gums and provide you with a prescription for pain medication and antibiotics.

After your gums have healed, Dr. Goggins can help you understand your dental restoration options. One of the more effective and popular options is a dental bridge.

This is a single artificial tooth that will be fused to open crowns on each end. This typically requires two separate appointments. The first prepares the two neighboring teeth as abutments, or anchors for the dental bridge. After the bridge has been created in a dental lab, Dr. Goggins will cement the dental work in place with a strong dental adhesive.

If you are in the Broomfield, Colorado, area and have lost a tooth to an untreated cavity, you should call 303-586-1019 to seek professional treatment at Denver Restorative Dentistry.

The post TMJ Disorder: The Facts first appeared on Denver Restorative Dentistry.]]> You probably know that headaches can be extremely annoying and fairly painful. Still, would you be surprised to learn that a headache can actually be caused by different dental problems? In fact, there are several reasons you could be getting these headaches. Similarly, there are a few things you can do if you’re suffering from a stiff jaw.

If you wake up with frequent head pains, you may be grinding your teeth. However, people typically grind their teeth when they are asleep—which can make grinding your teeth difficult to recognize. If you have been told that you make noises when you’re sleeping, you might be grinding your pearly whites. This can actually lead to several different dental issues, such as fractured, chipped, or cracked teeth or even tooth loss.

TMJ disorder is another problem that might lead to a sore jaw. Sadly, if you have TMJ disorder, you may struggle to move your jaw. Even opening and closing your mouth can be difficult if you have TMJ disorder. This happens because your TMJ is actually the joint that attaches your jaw to your skull. Unfortunately, if you do have TMJ disorder, you could unintentionally start grinding your teeth.

A sore or a stiff TMJ may also be caused by anxious feelings. As you may know, some people clench their teeth if they’re nervous or afraid. Unfortunately, this can put extreme pressure on your TMJ. Luckily, there are a few solutions you can consider if you do clench your pearly whites. Please contact us or your doctor if you’re interested in hearing more about coping with these problems.

Would you like to hear more about how you can prevent a sore jaw or headaches in Broomfield, Colorado? If so, please give Denver Restorative Dentistry a call at 303-586-1019. Our dentists, Dr. Goggins and Dr. Esguerra, will gladly answer any questions you could have and help you keep your pearly whites healthy and strong. We’re eager to meet with you!

The post Enhance Your Smile with a Tooth Replacement Service first appeared on Denver Restorative Dentistry.]]> You can enhance your smile with a tooth replacement service from our team at Denver Restorative Dentistry in Broomfield, Colorado. Not only will tooth replacements make your mouth function better, but they can fill out your jaw making you look younger too. In addition, a missing tooth can cause loose gums around the gaps, which can free up nearby teeth to shift. You can avoid the unnecessary risks that come with tooth loss with one of the following tooth replacement options:

– Dental Implants: Dental implants are tooth replacement devices that surgically attach replacement teeth directly to the jawbone for a permanent hold that can last a lifetime.

– Dentures: Dentures are tooth replacement devices where missing teeth are crafted that can be removed and reinstalled by the owner at will. They are more likely to break or fail than dental implants due to the extra care required when handling them outside of the mouth. Partial dentures can be made for a few missing teeth, and complete dentures can be made to replace entire rows of teeth.

– Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are tooth replacement devices that are designed to fill the gaps left behind by missing or lost teeth. Typically used for only a few missing teeth at a time, prosthetic teeth for bridges, normally made of metal or porcelain, are crafted and held in place permanently by attaching themselves to neighboring teeth or implants.

If you have suffered tooth loss and need a tooth replacement service from Dr. Taylor Goggins or Dr. Roxanna Esguerra at Denver Restorative Dentistry, please call 303-586-1019 in Broomfield, Colorado. We can help determine which service is best for you to help you achieve the smile you deserve!
