Categories: Family Dentistry

Dentistry For Child Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry provides family dentistry. Our dentistry for children is performed by our friendly and professional staff and always takes into consideration the special circumstances that children require.

A little extra patience with our child patients is critical. We understand that going to the dentist can be a bit frightening for a child, so we make sure they are comfortable with their surroundings, and always invite mom or dad to join them in the room.

Family Dentistry requires more than just comfort, however. We take care to notice development patterns and watch for future trouble before it happens. We also teach proper hygiene for our child patients so that we can help you reinforce healthy habits that will produce strong, healthy and lasting teeth.

Dentistry for child patients is a big part of our practice here at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry.

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. That’s why I always recommend a visit to Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry (our dental practice) to visit with me and talk about it. 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. We’ll discuss your goals, the options that are available to you, and the results you can expect. You will be much happier with your results with the advantage of professional advice.

We look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Going to the dentist for the first time in Provo, or if you have not been for while, can be an unsettling experience for both kids and adults. The very idea of a ‘dentist’ seems to hold negative connotation for many people. If you are an adult who is moving to the Provo area, or your child is preparing to visit the dentist for the first time, here are a few tips that may help ease you into regular dental checkups and put you on the path toward increased oral health and wellness.

Choose an Provo dentist who is appropriate for your needs. When you meet your new Provo dentist for the first time, make an effort to ask questions about the care you will receive. Ask questions that are relevant to your situation including questions about experience, age range of patients, and recommended procedures for any conditions you may have. Get to know your Provo dentist so you feel comfortable with the care you will receive.

Introduce yourself to your Provo dentist and get to know the office staff. Visiting the dentist in Provo will seem less of a chore when you feel you have trusted friends who are there to help.

Be prepared to provide your Provo dentist with information. Whether you are experiencing specific pain at that moment, or anticipating a problem, be sure to discuss everything with your dentist. Many patients become intimidated in the office environment and avoid expressing pain or discussing issues. As your dentist, I need to know everything you are experiencing and will be better prepared to help as you ask questions and express your concerns.

I understand that everyone is unique; what works for one person may not work for another. You know what works best for you, and the best way to have a good experience with a Provo dentist is to communicate. Let me know what you are experiencing so that I can make adjustments and help you feel more comfortable and secure.

At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry our friendly and professional staff will work to make your dental experience a pleasant one.

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.

Children’s Dental in Provo

Posted on
Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Family Dentistry

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.
