Do You Have Sore Gums?

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Affordable Provo Dentistry Every Orem general dentistry patient’s mouth provides a cozy home for over 600 types of bacteria. If you are diligent about oral hygiene and have healthy gums, these microbes usually don’t affect your health. However, if you have gum disease, bacteria can enter your bloodstream through your gums and cause problems.

Gingivitis is the term for the mild gum disease. At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we routinely discover gingivitis in Orem area clients who are not even aware they have the condition.

The first signs of gingivitis are swollen, sore gums.

It is important for our Orem dental patients to understand that it is not normal for gums to bleed when they are brushed or flossed. If you haven’t had an oral examination in a while and live in the Orem area, call Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-657-5633. Drs. Hammond & Ellis thoroughly exams teeth and gums and takes time to discuss the results and recommendations with each Orem family dentistry patient.

Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry is a full-service dental practice at 3575 N 100 E, Ste 200, Provo, UT. We provide comprehensive general and cosmetic dentistry for clients who live in Orem and the nearby communities.

During your dentist consultation, we can discuss any cosmetic or restorative procedures in which you are interested. Some of the Orem procedures that we use to create perfect smiles are porcelain veneers, clear braces, dental implants and tooth whitening. Our hygienists are skilled professionals who perform the ultimate in dental deep-cleanings.

Oral health and overall health go hand in hand. Schedule a dental consultation today by calling 801-657-5633 or visiting us online at http://www.CosmeticDentistryUtahCounty.com.

Cosmetic Dental Solutions in Provo

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Cosmetic Dental Solutions in Provo Provo cosmetic dentists use dental crowns to solve a number of dental dilemmas. A dental crown is a strong, natural-looking permanent tooth restoration that covers the top of the damaged tooth.

Provo family dentistry professionals recommend crowns to remedy the following problems:

  • A broken tooth with decay
  • An ill-fitting existing crown
  • A decayed tooth that has lost significant tooth structure
  • A tooth that has had a root canal
  • A tooth that is too small or misshapen
  • A tooth that causes a bite problem

Before your Provo cosmetic dentist can attach the crown to your tooth, we must prepare the tooth. Provo dentists often apply a local anesthetic so you won’t feel pain during the prepping. Your dentist will remove decay, if any, and shape the tooth to receive the crown. Then a mold is taken of the prepped tooth and surrounding teeth.

A temporary crown is then placed on the tooth to protect it until you return to your Provo general dentistry office to receive the permanent restoration. The patient needs to be careful while wearing the temporary crown. Vigorous brushing or flossing can displace the crown or damage the exposed soft tissue. The Provo dental crown patient should also refrain from eating extremely hard foods like nuts or sticky candy.

The mold of your teeth is sent to a local dental lab where your crown is built. Dental crowns are fabricated in three varieties: tooth colored crowns made of resin or porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and solid metal crowns. Each type has its pros and cons. Your Provo cosmetic dentist at Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry will choose the best crown material for your particular tooth.

What if you need a permanent dental restoration for both the top and root of your tooth? A dental implant is your answer.

For more information about complete dental restorations and other cosmetic dental solutions, call Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-657-5633 today.

More Valuable Than a Diamond

Friday, November 25th, 2011

“Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond.”
-Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605

Provo Dental Implants When Cervantes wrote Don Quixote, there was no way to replace teeth that were lost to trauma or decay. We are fortunate to live here in Provo at a time where there is a permanent replacement for missing teeth-the amazing Dental Implant.

A dental implant, or tooth implant, is anchored into the jaw bone. It does not slide around like a removable denture. It functions just like a natural tooth.

With a dental implant, you can talk, chew, and brush like normal. Eat that steak. Laugh out loud. Sing at the top of your lungs!

The dental implant procedure available in Provo is not an experimental treatment. Dental implants have been available for many years. You can be sure that the dental implant procedure has been fully tested and tweaked to perfection. The success rate for dental implants in Provo is almost one hundred percent.

If you have a missing tooth and want to get a tooth implant, it is important to choose an experienced Provo cosmetic dental specialist to perform your implant procedure. To schedule a cosmetic or implant dentistry consultation, call 801-657-5633.

A Provo dental implant is a strong and beautiful tooth replacement that, incidentally, costs much less than a diamond of similar size. (See the quote at the beginning of this article.) To discuss financing options, contact our office.

At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we offer the full spectrum of restorative, cosmetic, and general dentistry services. If you need a gentle family dentistry professional to put your kids at ease or a precision smile design artist, we invite you to meet Drs. Hammond & Ellis, DMD.

At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we are committed to providing you and your family with superior dental care.

Tooth Brushing Basics For Healthy Smiles In Provo

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Provo Teeth Bleaching Why should everyone in Provo brush at least twice a day? Let’s take a look at why this is so important.

Brushing and flossing is the best way to prevent decay.

Brushing with fluoride toothpaste and carefully flossing removes the food from our teeth and inhibits the build up of plaque. If we let food stay on our teeth, the starches in the food will mix with the plaque. This nasty mixture forms an acid which immediately starts drilling into the enamel to form cavities. Brushing can’t get all the spaces between your teeth, so you’ve got to floss also. Brushing and flossing can also be the first step towards bad breath treatment.

Brushing and flossing keeps gums and bone healthy.

If you let gum disease go untreated, you can lose teeth that are cavity-free!

The progression of gum disease (gingivitis) goes like this:

  1. Plaque build-up irritates gums.
  2. Irritated gums pull away from teeth.
  3. Bacteria multiplies in the spaces between the gum and tooth.
  4. The bone holding the tooth is eaten by the bacteria.
  5. Say goodbye to the tooth.

The good news is that gingivitis can be reversed if detected early. The best way to do this is with regular visits to your Provo family dentistry specialist.

Call Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-657-5633 to schedule a gum disease evaluation at our office in Provo.

At Hammond & Ellis Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we emphasize preventative dental care. When sedation dentistry is necessary, we provide a comfortable stress-free experience. If you have pressing dental needs, let’s talk about your options and consider the long term consequences of each treatment. If we believe it is best to refer you to another specialist, we’ll do so without hesitation. We are committed to your well-being and want you to receive the best possible care.

If you are interested in Orem cosmetic dentistry, we can also help you. We pursue continual training in the latest cosmetic treatments and have extensive experience performing individual dental implants, complete smile makeovers and everything in between.

The World Health Organization defines General Dentistry as “the science and art of preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries and malformations of the teeth, jaws and mouth”.

According to Wikipedia :

A dentist is a healthcare professional qualified to practice dentistry after graduating with a degree of either Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD), Bachelor of Dentistry (BDent), Bachelor of Dental Science (BDSc), or Bachelor of Dental Surgery/Chirurgiae (BDS) or (BChD) or equivalent.

In most western countries, to become a qualified dentist one must usually complete at least 4 years of postgraduate study. Generally, 2 years of clinical experience working with patients in an educational setting are required.
