Orem Smile Makeovers Hello friends of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. Welcome to my Orem general dentistry blog. This site is for my patients and anyone in the Orem area who doesn’t have a regular dentist.

I invite you to call 801-374-0070 to schedule an evaluation.

I’m not talking about an ordinary dental evaluation, although I will certainly examine your teeth and gums thoroughly and advise you on any necessary preventative or cosmetic dental needs. I invite you to perform your own evaluation of me and my dental practice.

I encourage you to evaluate:

  • My education, experience and cosmetic dental skill
  • The variety of services we provide at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry
  • My recommendations about your dental needs
  • Before and after photos of my smile makeover patients
  • My philosophy of preventative dentistry
  • The length of the wait time for your appointment
  • My office atmosphere and attentiveness of my professional dental team
  • All the extras that make your dental visits pleasant and comfortable
  • My ability to explain the technical details of procedures and characteristics of restorative materials
  • The many services available at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry including general dentistry, smile makeovers, and sedation dentistry
  • My Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry website at: https://www.cosmeticdentistryutahcounty.com

Fair enough? I will evaluate your dental needs and you can evaluate everything about me and my family dentistry practice. I am confident that you will like what you find.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Posted on
Categories: Sedation Dentistry

Oral Conscious Sedation Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Oral sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, oral conscious sedation can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider oral conscious sedation if you have any of the following issues:

  • Strong gag reflex
  • Fear of needles
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • A history of negative dental experiences
  • Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related condition
  • Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided cosmetic dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call at 801-374-0070. We can give you more information about sedation dentistry options and help you determine which one is right for you. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.

Sedation Dentistry In Provo

Posted on
Categories: Sedation Dentistry

Provo sedation dentistry Many Provo dentistry patients have discovered the benefits of anxiety-free dentistry (sometimes called sleep dentistry). There are three main types of sedation options available in the Provo area.

Inhalation

Nitrous Oxide, sometimes called ‘laughing gas‘ has been used in Provo cosmetic dental offices for over a century, because, in many ways, it is an ideal sedative. It begins to work quickly, but then wears off as soon as the Provo dental patient stops inhaling it. Breathing nitrous oxide can produce warm tingling sensations and a feeling of euphoria.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral sedatives take longer to work than nitrous, but produce a calmer state for many nervous Provo dental patients. Triazolam and diazepam are common oral sedatives used in dentistry. These sedative medications are routinely prescribed by Provo physicians for anxiety, insomnia, and muscle spasms.

Oral sedation is a good sedation choice for anxious patients who require a lengthy dental procedure. After the dental visit, it takes a while for the medication to wear off. A Provo conscious sedation patient should not plan to drive home after undergoing oral sedation.

IV Sedation

Like nitrous, intra-venous sedation starts working immediately as the sedative enters the bloodstream. IV sedation usually produces the deepest state of relaxation. IV patients can dream away the entire procedure and wake up calm and relaxed.

To schedule a sedation dentistry consultation, call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070. We have the answer for your dental anxiety.

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.

Affordable Provo Cosmetic Dentistry

Posted on
Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Crowns, Porcelain Veneers, Sedation Dentistry, Teeth Whitening

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.

Questions To Ask Your Provo Dentist Sometimes we research our Provo mechanic or Provo hairdresser more thoroughly than our Provo dental professional. Shouldn’t your dental care be far more important than the condition of your car or the style of your hair? At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we love to answer questions about your teeth. You should be asking your Utah dentist any question you have about the care and status of your teeth.

For instance, you may have questions about the school of dentistry and dental specialties studied. Though important, dentistry school is not the only place to gain dental experience, however. Dr. Chris Hammond has been performing complex Utah dental procedures since 1996.

You should also be asking about the dentistry specialties your Provo dentist offers such as tooth restoration, braces and lumineers. These services may not be important to you now, but it is a good idea to have an understanding of your options, and to know what your Provo dentist has to offer.

If you are contemplating smile restoration, tooth implants, or tooth whitening, evaluate Provo cosmetic dentistry options with your dentist. Look at before and after pictures, and ask your Provo dentist what procedures may be right for you.

General dentists offer a variety of Provo dental services such as tooth extractions and tooth fillings, and can treat every member of the family. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers and sedation dentistry.

You have many choices for your Provo family dentistry. We welcome questions about all aspects of our Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry practice. Visit us at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200, in Provo UT and talk to a member of our friendly and professional team.

  • Teeth sensitivita;
  • Fear of needles;
  • A powerful gag reflex;
