Cosmetic Dentistry Gives Orem Residents Perfect Smiles

Cosmetic Dentistry Gives Orem Residents Perfect Smiles

Hi. We’re Dr. Hammond, and our practice has been providing excellent dental care here in Provo since 1967. One of our favorite things about being dentist is seeing how our Provo area patients find renewed confidence in themselves after a smile makeover.

If you’ve ever wanted to improve your smile, call us today at 801-374-0070 so we can talk about your cosmetic dentistry options.

There have been numerous advances in the field of cosmetic dentistry in recent years and you may be surprised to find out what your Provo dentist can do for your smile.

Teeth whitening is a common procedure in Orem dental offices, and the results can be dramatic! Brighter teeth can be the centerpiece of your new, youthful look.

Veneers are designed to cover the front of the teeth and are custom-made for each individual patient. These are useful for Provo patients who have broken or chipped teeth, stained teeth, or gaps between teeth that they would like to hide.

Enamel shaping, bonding, and braces are other important procedures that can be used to help your teeth look their best.

So, why wait, Orem? Now is the time to get the smile you’ve always wanted, and we’re here to help. The caring staff here at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry would love to answer any questions you have about these cosmetic dentistry procedures as well as bridges, crowns, and general oral health.

We are currently accepting new patients, so contact us today!

Water Fluoridation In Utah Prevents Tooth Decay

Water Fluoridation In Utah Prevents Tooth Decay

Hello! Welcome to our Provo family dentistry blog. Today’s message from Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry concerns fluoride and Utah children’s dental health. We’re Dr. Hammond and we have been practicing dentistry in Provo since 1967.

When I examine a new Provo patient for the first time, I can usually tell whether the person drank fluoride-adjusted municipal water while growing up. Generally, their teeth are healthier than Orem people who had lower fluoride levels in their tap water.

Ideally, adequate fluoride intake combined with proper oral hygiene, good nutrition, and regular dental visits keep teeth healthy and free of decay. However, fluoride also helps teeth remineralize if acids have already compromised the enamel. For decay prevention and teeth strengthening, adequate fluoride is indispensable.

If you have children and your Utah municipal water supply does not have the recommended level of fluoride, you may want to consider giving your kids a fluoride supplement. The fluoride will strengthen the primary teeth that have already erupted and also the adult teeth that are forming.

The American Dental Association supports water fluoridation:

‘More than 65 years ago, on January 25, 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan became the world’s first city to adjust the level of fluoride in its water supply. Since that time, fluoridation has dramatically improved the oral health of tens of millions of Americans. Community water fluoridation is the single most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay.’ http://www.ada.org/fluoride.aspx

At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we provide exceptional dental care for all members of the family including general and cosmetic dentistry. We serve the Provo, Utah County, American Fork, and Lehi areas. Ask us about teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and short-term braces.

If you are interested in children’s fluoride supplements, call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070 to schedule a pediatric dental evaluation.


The Tea and Teeth Question

Provo teeth bleaching best price

What do you call a dentist who doesn’t like tea?
Why, Denis, of course.

Joking aside, a common concern for Lehi patients can be stained teeth. We’re Dr. Hammond here at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. Today, let’s talk a little bit about a common cause of tooth staining: dark beverages including tea.

Over time tea can stain the plaque that may eventually turn into tartar. Plaque can be brushed and flossed away. Thorough daily rituals of oral cleaning are valuable for this. Tartar (which forms if the plaque remains on the teeth for over 24 hours) on the other hand will need to be removed in office during a teeth cleaning appointment. Either way, between cleanings a wise method for avoiding tea staining is to rinse with water after drinking tea or to eat something and then to be sure to brush and floss all surfaces of the teeth at the end of the day.

If after an in-house cleaning the color of your teeth is still unsatisfactory, there is always teeth whitening as an option. Our practice offers many smile enhancing opportunities. You settle upon the problem, come see us, and together we’ll settle on the solution.

The cost of living is going up in Lehi, Utah County, and American Fork. Come in Orem and let us share our competitive pricing, financial options and superb service with you. It doesn’t have to be costly to be valuable.

Our specialty is cosmetic dentistry. A popular service in our office is family dentistry. We would love to do dental implants if that appeals to you. Veneers, dental implants, crowns, partials. I love to have enlightened patients. Bring in your questions and we’ll get them answered.

Now you know that tea doesn’t have to stain teeth permanently. What’s your next question?

Is Orem Flossing out of Fear?

Is Orem Flossing out of Fear?

Most Orem and Provo men and women know that flossing is an important part of oral health. The value of this simple yet vital exercise in oral hygiene has been shown time and time again. But does fear have to play a role in Orem’s commitment to the practice?

Flossing offers a chance to remove bits and pieces that a toothbrush will undoubtedly miss. But, being afraid of the ‘cavity bugs,’ ‘mouth germies,’ or the ‘dental bogeyman’ may still not compel Provo folks to floss regularly. The fear of gingivitis and gum disease or crowns and fillings from cavities work for a week or so after a cleaning, but may not instill a lasting habit between teeth cleanings.

At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, we encourage our dental patients to look at flossing as an opportunity to start fresh just as showering and dressing for the day is a positive way to increase motivation and initiate flossing into your established routine. Flossing can be a positive opportunity to remind yourself to smile and feel happy as you approach your day. Flossing could be a time to think about the foods you are putting into your mouth and consider what improvements could be made to your diet. Living in health-conscious communities such as Utah County, American Fork, or Lehi can also help motivate you to floss regularly. The fresh air you breath on a short walk will feel smooth as your run your tongue along the ridges of your teeth near the gums.

It doesn’t have to be about fear! Call us at: 801-374-0070 The caring dental staff at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry knows that flossing can be a concern for their Provo dental patients and a brightened patient is always better than a frightened one. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we offer many ways to enhance your smile and self-confidence. Make a cosmetic dental appointment today to consider whether sedation dentistry can lighten your look, Invisalign can influence your flair, and porcelain veneers or dental crowns can ease your anxiety. We aim to make it a fantastic experience!

Ouch! Are Your Teeth Sensitive In Provo?

Are Your Teeth Sensitive In Provo?

For those of you in the Provo area who feel pain when you sip your morning coffee or who cringe each time you brush or floss, Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry is here for you.

Dr. Hammond have been treating this common problem since 1967.

The first line of defense against tooth sensitivity is proper oral hygiene. Incorrect brushing and over-brushing can result in receding gums, which leads to the exposure of microscopic tubules in the dentin. When these tubules are exposed, acidic, hot, cold, and sticky foods can then reach the nerve cells in the teeth causing discomfort.

Here in our Provo dentistry practice, our knowledgeable staff can determine if your brushing style is contributing to your tooth sensitivity and get you on your way to proper oral care habits.

Dr. Hammond usually recommend an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste that will alleviate tooth pain after several applications. Most Provo Wal-Mart stores carry it. However, some Provo patients may need in-office procedures such as fluoride gel treatments available at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry.

Don’t worry if you have sensitive teeth in Provo and want to have your teeth whitened, here at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we can determine which professional tooth whitening or at-home whitening procedures will work for you.

Call our Provo cosmetic dental office today to get relief from your sensitive teeth.

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry Can Make Your Whites Whiter

Utah County Teeth Bleaching for Whiter Whites

Hi, we’re Dr. Hammond, experienced Provo general and cosmetic dentists serving the greater Provo area. One of the most common requests we get from our dental patients is whiter teeth.

We are happy to say that Provo dental patients are in luck when it comes to teeth whitening in Utah, because cosmetic dentistry procedures like teeth whitening and veneers are safe, effective, and affordable.

Some Provo patients might be interested in bleaching their teeth at home. There are many affordable teeth whitening products available at Orem, Utah County, and Provo drugstores. Remember that even though you are doing this procedure at home, you should discuss it with your Provo dentist and report any sensitivity that may occur.

There are many dentists in the Provo area that offer in-office teeth bleaching which can often be done in one visit. Provo residents who do in-office bleaching usually appreciate the care that is given to protect the soft tissues of the mouth from the bleaching agent.

Any toothpaste that has an added polishing agent is considered a whitening toothpaste. For my patients, I always tell them to look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance when purchasing these.

As you can see, there are a lot of great ways to keep your teeth nice and white here in Provo.

If you’re interested in any of these whitening methods or a complete smile makeover, call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070. Our caring staff will schedule a cosmetic dental consultation at your convenience.

We hope to hear from you soon!
