Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Provo

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Provo Many Provo professionals, students and retirees are enjoying the lasting benefits of aesthetic dentistry. A beautiful smile not only looks great, it makes you feel great! When you first look in the mirror in the morning while brushing those gleaming babies, you remember; oh yeah, I fixed my teeth and they look fantastic!

When you smile at old friends or make new ones, you are happy to show off your new movie-star grin. When you are in a professional setting speaking with colleagues or clients, you feel poised and super confident.

We have talked about different restorative and cosmetic dental procedures available in Provo in previous blog articles, but let’s review the most common.

Veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that adhere to teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong and have the translucency of natural teeth. They correct chips, stains and misaligned teeth that do not require orthodontia. There are several companies that fabricate veneers. One of the most well-known brand names is Lumineers.

Dental crowns correct more extensive tooth problems. They are used in a variety of situations such as the final restoration following a root canal or to restore teeth damaged by decay, injury or periodontal disease.

Dental implants are one of the best fixes for a missing tooth. They are becoming a popular and effective alternative to bridges and partial dentures in Provo, Orem and the surrounding areas – especially among middle-aged professionals and people in the public eye.

Bridges are another strong, natural looking replacement for one or more missing teeth. They have been used with success for many years.

Professional tooth whitening in your Provo dentist’s office is the least invasive and quickest way to brighten your smile several shades. One of the most popular systems is called Zoom! whitening.

If you are interested in any of these safe and effective procedures, schedule a consultation at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry today. Even if you are still a bit hesitant, remember: discussing your options with a cosmetic dentist does not require a commitment of any kind. It is merely a relaxed way to get the most reliable information.

We are waiting for your call. Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry can be reached at 801-374-0070.

Veneers in Provo How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Chris Hammond at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry have training in advanced cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Chris Hammond have been providing smile makeovers for Provo and Utah County dental clients since 1996. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure in Provo. Tooth whitening quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Provo and Orem cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth whitening and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. Schedule a Provo cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 801-374-0070. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

Provo Tooth Whitening For Whiter Smiles When it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Provo, tooth whitening is one of the easiest and rewarding procedures. There are also a lot of tooth whitening options for those of us in the Orem area. How do you find a good tooth whitening procedure in Provo?

Visiting your local Provo dentist is a good start!

Whitening your teeth is an advanced dental procedure that you won’t want to get wrong on the first try.

We are Dr. Chris Hammond, and as Provo Dentists, we are not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile. We can recommend tooth whitening procedures based on your age, dental hygiene, and personal goals.

Most importantly, we can help you assess the condition of your teeth and help you understand what to expect and how to care for your teeth once they are whitened.

Many of our Provo patients ask about tooth whitening. In fact it is one of our most popular dental procedures. There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our Provo dental office. The one best for you can depend on many factors, starting with the color of your teeth and how white you want your teeth to be after the procedure.

Consulting with your Provo dentist before you begin a tooth whitening procedure has several advantages. Among the advantages are professional care, experienced advice, and reliable recommendations for which tooth whitening procedure will be best for you.

If you are contemplating a tooth whitening procedure, and you live in the Orem, come in and visit with me for just a few minutes.

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry on Jaw Bone Deterioration

Posted on
Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants

Provo Jaw Bone Deterioration To remain dense, your jaw bone requires the continual stimulation and pressure of chewing, biting and talking. Each of your teeth has a root structure attached to the surrounding bone material. As each tooth absorbs the forces of everyday mouth function, it stimulates the bone to which the root is attached.

When a tooth is extracted, the jaw bone that previously surrounded the root structure begins to recede. Though tooth extraction is often the only possible treatment for our Provo patients with tooth damage beyond repair, every effort should be made to preserve the root structure.

Fortunately, tooth implants provide a new root which keeps the surrounding bone healthy and strong. A dental implant consists of a titanium post which is placed in the jaw bone. It replaces the original root and eventually integrates into the surrounding bone. After the implant has been placed and the surrounding bone has healed and meshed with the implant, a post is inserted into the implant. The new artificial tooth, or crown, is then attached to the post. Implant restoration is a safe and effective treatment for tooth loss.

To learn more about dental implants, call Dr. Chris Hammond at 801-374-0070. The friendly professionals at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo provide world-class dental treatment for patients in Orem and the surrounding areas.

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Provo

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants, Sedation Dentistry

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Provo If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:

Cost
In the long run, It is less expensive to do it all at once. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most Orem residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at 801-374-0070 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.

Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Provo dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry
When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss oral sedation dentistry. Many Provo and Orem cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. Conscious sedation is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.

Periodontal Disease in Utah

Periodontal Disease in Utah

Periodontal disease in Utah is more common than you might think, and can be cured with varying degrees of treatment depending on the severity.

What is periodontal disease? According to this article on Wikipedia, periodontal disease is ‘the name of a collection of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support the teeth.’

Periodontal disease, more commonly called ‘gum disease‘, is an inflammation or infection of the gums. Periodontal disease can be very painful in some extreme conditions, and can limit your ability to eat normally. In some cases, periodontal disease can affect your smile, and can create cosmetic concerns.

If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause irreversible damage. When caught early and treated, periodontal disease can be little more than an inconvenience. However the best policy is to practice good dental hygiene to keep periodontal disease at bay.

One of the best ways to avoid periodontal disease is to get a regular dental check up at your local Provo dentist.

Give us a call at 801-374-0070 to schedule your next dental checkup; we look forward to seeing you.

Affordable Provo Cosmetic Dentistry

Affordable Provo Cosmetic Dentistry Will your Utah dental insurance cover Provo cosmetic dental procedures? Many Orem dentistry clients assume their dental insurance won’t cover any cosmetic dental procedures. This is probably true for tooth bleaching in Provo or first time dental bonding. However, many Utah dental insurance plans and dental supplemental plans cover orthodontia and any treatment needed to repair damage from an injury. Medical insurance and worker’s compensation plans may also cover injury treatment.

Some Orem dental insurance plans cover replacement porcelain veneers in certain circumstances. Check with your carrier for benefit specifics if you need replacement veneers due to deterioration. We can then discuss dental treatment options such as replacement veneers or porcelain crowns. When the work is completed, we may be able to help you submit your dental claim form if your plan requires one.

If you are in need of any kind of dental treatment; from a cleaning to major restorative work, come in to Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry on 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200, Provo UT. You can meet our friendly and professional team, undergo a thorough evaluation and discuss financing options. Even if you do not have Utah dental insurance, let’s talk. Top quality Provo dental treatment is a wise investment and may be more affordable than you think.

Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry has been proudly serving Provo and Orem residents since 1996. Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry is a network dental provider for many Utah dental insurance plans.

Children’s Dental in Provo

Children’s Dental in Provo For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised Orem parents to begin children’s dentist visits before the third birthday.

The AAP now advises Orem and Utah County parents to take their toddler to a Utah dentist before their first birthday, or about six months after their first tooth appears.

Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention! Sadly, Provo dentists find advanced tooth decay in very young children.

High-risk children should be seen as early as possible. Following are some of the risk factors:

  • Sleeping with a bottle
  • Drinking juice continually during the day
  • Abnormal tooth development
  • Thumb sucking
  • Tooth grinding
  • A mother with significant tooth decay
  • Other health problems

To talk to us about pediatric dentistry, call 801-374-0070. Children love Dr. Chris Hammond at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. We also pamper busy Provo parents who come to Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry for general and cosmetic dentistry. No matter your age, we would love to provide you with the most advanced dental care in Provo.
