Tooth-Colored Fillings in Orem

Posted on July 1, 2011

Hello! Welcome to the Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry blog. If this your first visit, we hope you find useful information about our Provo cosmetic dentistry practice. If you have read some of our previous articles, we are glad you checked back with us. We post new articles regularly.

We are Dr. Chris Hammond, DMD. We have been practicing dentistry in Provo since 1996. Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry is a full-service dental office located at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo. In addition to providing comprehensive examinations and deep cleanings for clients in the Orem area, we perform all types of tooth restorations.

When a tooth has decay or has been damaged, a dental restoration is needed to ‘restore’ the tooth to its previous intact condition. A dental filling is one of the most common and well-known types of restorations. A dental filling is used to repair decayed or damaged tooth surfaces. Most people have a few fillings in their mouth.

If you have old silver amalgam fillings, we can replace them with nearly-invisible fillings tooth colored. These fillings are made out of a strong composite resin. Many of our Orem general dentistry patients have replaced their old silver fillings with fillings matched to their teeth. You can improve your smile instantly and relatively inexpensively by getting rid of the ‘metal’.

Another reason some Orem clients have had their old fillings replaced is because they are concerned about the possible heavy metal toxicity of the mercury in the silver.

If you would like to replace your amalgam fillings, call us at 801-374-0070 to schedule a consultation. We are currently accepting new patients and would be happy to show you around our Orem cosmetic dental office and introduce you to our friendly team. We also offer dental sedation for anxious patients.

Smile – it increases your face value!

Smile Perfection in Provo

Posted on June 3, 2011

The most difficult part of attaining perfection is finding something to do for an encore. -Author Unknown

We are perfectionists at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry where we create perfect smiles for our Provo cosmetic dentistry and smile makeover patients.

Here are some of the cosmetic dental procedures we use in smile makeovers at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo.

Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are the ultimate tooth restoration available in Provo, Utah or anywhere else, for that matter. A tooth implant consists of a metal post that is inserted into your jawbone. The post replaces the root of the missing tooth.

After a few months, it meshes with your jawbone to provide the strength and integrity of a natural tooth. A base and natural-looking crown is permanently attached to the post. For most Provo patients with missing teeth, it is the preferred restoration. Implants can also be used to attach dentures and partial dentures for no-slip implant/denture combos.

Crowns
A mainstay of Provo cosmetic dentistry, dental crowns are more beautiful than ever. New fabrication technologies and materials have improved the aesthetics and strength of this restorative option.

Veneers
A veneer is a more conservative treatment than a full crown. This is a good choice for Provo patients whose teeth are structurally sound but have unsightly flaws such as discoloration, chips, cracks, or imperfect shape. Are you one of the many Provo teens adults with dark tetracycline stains? Call us today at 801-374-0070 to say goodbye to tetracycline stains!

Inlays/Onlays
Inlays and onlays (indirect fillings) are designed and fabricated using dental CAD/CAM software. These fillings are strong, attractive, and precisely fitted to the cavity.

Tooth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the crowning touch for a perfect smile. (It’s the only thing you need if you are a fortunate Provo man or woman with perfectly-shaped and aligned teeth.) No one in Provo has to live with dull or stained teeth. Call us today for a teeth whitening consultation at our Provo office.

Do You Love Your Smile?

Posted on May 13, 2011October 30, 2015

The Provo people who are most happy with their smiles have healthy, straight teeth that sparkle when they laugh. If nature didn’t bless you with attractive teeth, you are not alone. Most perfect smiles you come across in Provo were not always that way. They are the result of cosmetic dentistry performed by an experienced Provo aesthetic dentist.

At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, Dr. Chris Hammond DMD provide the state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We treat patients from 20 to 80. You are never too young or too old to improve your smile; but it will definitely make you feel younger!

Two common smile-killers are yellow enamel and chipped teeth.

Discolored Teeth

Few Provo people have pearly white smiles that stay that way forever. Even with consistent brushing, flossing and regular dental cleanings, our teeth darken as we age. Fortunately, the most affordable Provo cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth whitening. Picture yourself with a celebrity-caliber smile. It is possible with safe and affordable teeth whitening at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry.

Damaged Teeth

Our teeth work hard for us day after day, year after year. Sometimes they get chipped or cracked in the process. If you would like to fix your tooth flaws, schedule a consultation by calling Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070. We use porcelain veneers every day to remedy tooth trauma. Cosmetic bonding has been used with fabulous results for many years and bonding is usually a fraction of the price of a crown.

Ask Hammond which of our Provo cosmetic dentistry procedures can be completed in one appointment. How about a same-day smile makeover?

If you have never been eager to show your teeth when you smile or laugh, now is the time to change that. Call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry today at 801-374-0070 to schedule a smile design consultation.

What Is Laser Dentistry?

Posted on March 17, 2011

The word ‘LASER’ is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser device emits a powerful, highly-concentrated beam of light. (Didn’t we all love the amazing laser weapons in ‘Star Wars?) Lasers are used in hundreds of applications in almost every Utah industry including communications, researching, manufacturing, entertainment and medicine.

Lasers are now used in some technologically-advanced Utah County dental practices on both hard (tooth) and soft (gum) tissue. Lasers allow Utah County cosmetic dentists a degree of precision that was previously impossible.

How does laser dentistry benefit our Utah County dental patients?

Fewer stitches (some surgical procedures require no sutures)

Shorter healing time

Decreased chance of infection

Less damage to surrounding tissue/bone

Increased patient comfort – anesthesia is often unnecessary

Utah County dentists use lasers in crown lengthening, decay detection, bacteria removal in root canals, gum recontouring, biopsy, lesion removal, and tooth whitening.

If you are interested in any of these procedures, call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070. Dr. Chris Hammond has been providing unsurpassed general and cosmetic dentistry since 1996.

The latest dental technology is useless without the skill and experience necessary to deliver the best possible outcomes. Let us show you some photos of the results we routinely achieve at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Utah County.

Seeking A Relationship In Provo?

Posted on January 28, 2011

Are you one of the many Orem singles looking for a significant other? Perhaps you recently broke off a dysfunctional partnership and are determined to make a better choice this time around. I’m not talking about a relationship with a girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse – I’m talking about something equally important – your relationship with your Provo dentist. (…I admit my obvious bias.)

Why did you break up with your last Provo dentist? Did he/she cause you fear, guilt and pain? Perhaps you quit seeing your dentist because it was a love-hate relationship – you hated going and he/she loved making you wait. Was your previous Provo cosmetic dentist insensitive to your concerns? Was he/she a poor communicator? Perhaps you have simply moved into the Provo area and need a new provider.

We are Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo. I understand that many patients are nervous (okay – downright terrified) about dental visits. I also realize that no client wants to be given a shameful lecture about their oral health.

Though I have years of experience and extensive training on all the latest cosmetic dental procedures, there are some things that can’t be learned in dental school; how to build trusting relationships with your patients and create a relaxed atmosphere in your dental practice. I understand that Provo dental clients can feel very vulnerable as they lie in the chair with their mouth open. My staff and I maintain a friendly environment in our pleasant office. We manage our practice carefully to minimize waiting and provide ample time for each valued patient.

Effective communication is a priority. I make sure my Provo dentistry patients understand their restorative and cosmetic options and answer all their questions before we develop a treatment plan. We provide cosmetic dentistry services such as teeth whitening and dental implants.

If you are currently seeking a considerate, experienced, and sensitive Provo dentist, I look forward to meeting you. My phone number is 801-374-0070. You can learn more about me at /about.htm

We get great satisfaction in using our years of specialized experience to provide premium cosmetic dentistry for our patients in the Provo and Orem area.

Others had been self-conscious about missing or stained teeth.

There has never been a better time to upgrade your smile. There are solutions for every kind of dental problem. If you are not familiar with the latest teeth whitening, crown restoration and tooth replacement procedures such as dental implants, it is time to find out.

Why You Need a Genuine Cosmetic Dentist

Posted on November 17, 2010

An Orem cosmetic surgeon has specialized schooling in addition to the training a general surgeon completes. Likewise, a true cosmetic dentist has completed rigorous courses in addition to dental school. Of course, many Orem general dentists also offer cosmetic dentistry treatment.

Teeth whitening, crowns, porcelain veneers, and dental bonding are some of the common procedures in the Orem, Utah area.

In many cases, Orem general dentists achieve excellent results. However, there is a difference between adequate results and incredible results. Orem cosmetic dentists have the skills and experience to create absolutely beautiful smiles.

You have probably seen attractive front teeth dental crowns performed by a general dentist. They are often perfectly shaped, correctly aligned and pleasingly white. But have you ever seen front teeth crowns done by a true artist? The color, translucency, and texture take the crowns to the ultimate level of breathtaking beauty.

We are Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo. We would love to tell you the specifics about my experience and specific training in the specialty of cosmetic dentistry. We can show you photos of cosmetic procedures performed by competent general dentists and you can compare them with photos of some of my actual Orem cosmetic dentistry patients.

For a cosmetic dentistry consultation, call 801-374-0070 today.
