Is It Growing In Your Mouth?

Orem Invisalign

Believe it or not, plaque can rear its ugly head in any Provo mouth – even yours – no matter how meticulous you try to be. If you have deep grooves, watch out. If you have a receding gum line, watch out. If you are a candy-loving Provo resident with the proverbial sweet tooth, watch out.

The plaque process goes something like this:
Bacteria naturally occurs in the mouth, always will. Bacteria will try to colonize on the smooth surfaces of your teeth. At first, it will be soft enough to be removed with a fingernail. After 48 hours, it will start to harden. Give it 10 days and it will be that substance most difficult to remove, tartar. (See picture.) This bacteria will feed on sugars and produce acid that will eat away the tissues of the tooth and lead to cavities. Cavities will originate on the surface and spread on and through the tooth. The best way to deal with plaque is to have a consistent removal process, i.e. regular daily brushing and flossing after eating and even sleeping.

A fabulous smile with fabulous teeth isn’t always the reality for Orem, Utah County, American Fork, and Lehi folks. We encourage anyone in the Orem area who is unhappy with their smile to consider the benefits of a smile makeover.

Cosmetic dentistry can be a significant investment but the truth of just how much it will cost for veneers, braces, teeth whitening, and even dental implants may surprise you. At our Provo cosmetic dentistry office you can expect to learn about sedation dentistry, Invisalign, mini implants, dental crowns, porcelain veneers, and any number of other dental services.

Don’t Like Your Teeth? 5 Great Reasons To Get A Smile Makeover!

Invisalign Orem Hello Orem! When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? If the answer is, ‘Not really,’ then you may want to consider these 5 reasons for people in Orem to make some small improvements or undergo a complete smile re-design.

1. A little goes a long way. Some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening and tooth-colored fillings are simple but have dramatic results.

2. It’s more affordable than you think. Speak with your Utah County, American Fork, or Lehi cosmetic dentist. You may be surprised at the prices (in a good way!).

3. Your dentist will keep you comfortable. Many people worry that the procedures are painful, but dentists in the Orem area can help you stay relaxed and free from discomfort whether you’re getting tooth-colored fillings, dental implants, veneers, or a complete smile makeover. Ask your dentist about oral sedation.

4. You will look and feel younger!

5. Regardless of your dental problems, chances are, your dentist can help you. Some Lehi residents believe they have to live with stained, chipped, cracked, crooked, or missing teeth, but today’s dentists have the tools and procedures to fix all of these dental problems and more. If you are in the Orem area and are looking for a dentist, We would love to serve you. I am Dr. Chris A. Hammond, DMD. I have been practicing quality dentistry in a Provo, Utah since 1967.

Utah County: Is Your Low-Carb Diet Giving You Dragon Breath?

Utah County: Is Your Low-Carb Diet Giving You Dragon Breath?

Many residents in the Utah County, American Fork, and Lehi area mistakenly believe that all bad breath is linked to insufficient brushing. The truth is that there is a myriad of causes of halitosis. Your Provo dentist can help you identify the cause of your problem and discuss how to cure bad breath.

What you eat may have something to do with it. Because foods begin to be digested the second they enter your mouth, and because they are absorbed and distributed throughout the body, you probably will be able to smell strong foods like onions and garlic long after you’ve eaten them.

Therefore, using a mouthwash from your local Provo drugstore will only mask the smell. Constantly sucking on breath mints is also not a good idea. This may bring additional oral problems – especially if the mints have sugar. If you want real relief, you may need to avoid the strong foods altogether.

Also, many dieters in and around Orem find that their diet regimen is making it harder to keep their mouth fresh and clean. Low-carb and no-carb diets promote fat burning, but the side effect of bad breath can be caused by the chemicals released during this process. Increasing water intake can help alleviate this.

Lastly, flossing regularly is often the key to truly fresh breath. Many American Fork folks don’t realize how much food can be stuck between their teeth, and this food can cause halitosis if it isn’t removed. More importantly, the food particles turn into plaque which causes cavities and gum disease.

We’re Dr. Hammond of Provo
. Our practice provides general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry to residents in the Orem area. We want our patients to have the best oral health possible, and that includes fresh breath.

Versatile Veneers for a Vivid Smile

Affordable Cosmetic Dentistry in Orem Have you ever wished you could quickly attach perfectly shaped, dazzling white front surfaces to your teeth? Guess what? You can! With porcelain veneers, you can eliminate smile imperfections in just one visit to your Provo cosmetic dental office.

The porcelain veneer is one of the most versatile items in a cosmetic dentist‘s toolbox. Veneers turn unattractive smiles into perfect smiles with minimal disruption to existing tooth structure. They are quicker and usually less expensive than complete crowns but are made with the same strong, translucent porcelain.

It’s no that wonder that a very large percentage of people in the public eye have porcelain veneers. A Utah actress can receive a perfect smile in the morning and appear on a talk show that evening. A supermodel can permanently remedy a discolored tooth and pose for photos right after leaving her Provo dental office. An Orem television news anchorman can have his teeth perfectly aligned in a couple hours and report Utah news that same day.

We are Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, Utah.  We use porcelain veneers alone and in combination with crowns, inlays, onlays, and tooth implants for dramatic smile makeovers. Perhaps porcelain veneers are the best route to your perfect smile.

Let’s talk. Our office can be reached at 801-374-0070

We are located at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo.
