Dental Crowns Orem

Some Orem residents who have a weak or broken tooth may want to research dental crowns as a solution to improve their smile and overall oral health. A crown is really a cap or covering that is tooth-shaped and when it is in place, it will cover the portion of the covered tooth that is above the gum line.

Crowns can be made of metals, resin, ceramic, porcelain, or a porcelain-fused-to-metal material. Your Orem area cosmetic dentist will usually put in a temporary crown while a permanent crown is being created especially for your mouth in a dental laboratory.

Dental crowns have been used successfully in Orem cosmetic dentistry for decades.

Many Orem area dentists use crowns when performing smile makeovers to cover patient’s discolored or poorly shaped teeth. Strong, natural-looking crowns are also used with dental implants.

If you think a dental crown may be right for you, check with your Orem dentist. Or, if you are searching for quality dental care in the Orem area, call us here at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. We are located near Orem and have been serving the area since 1996. We are currently accepting new patients at our state-of-the art, yet warm and comfortable dental office.

Call us at 801-374-0070 and our friendly and professional staff can answer any questions you have about teeth whitening, veneers, enamel shaping, or any other cosmetic dental, general oral health, or dental financing questions.

Missing Teeth In Provo? Dentures And Implants Restore Smiles

Dental Implants Provo

If you have had years of dental problems or are embarrassed by your teeth, our friendly and professional team at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry can help you find the restoration procedure right for you. You could be a candidate for complete or partial dentures or dental implants.

A removable replacement for missing teeth, dentures can be made in advance and positioned as soon as the natural teeth are removed.

If you still have some healthy, natural teeth, you can benefit from dentures without having your healthy teeth extracted.

Partial dentures fill in the gaps, replacing missing teeth to complete a smile. Partial dentures can prevent natural teeth from moving. Many Provo dental practices can complete these procedures in one day.

Many dental insurance providers cover most or all of the cost of dentures. Call us at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry and we can help you find out if your dental insurance covers dentures.

Another alternative for Provo people with missing teeth is to receive dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth restoration that is anchored into the jawbone, actually replacing both the root and crown of the tooth. Dental implants have many advantages, such as preventing jaw bone recession which can occur when natural teeth are removed. However, not all Provo dentistry patients are good candidates for implants. Call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070 for a dental implant consultation.

Dental implants can also be used to anchor a removable denture. The denture is ‘snapped on’ or attached to the implants for no-slip confidence.

The combination denture/implant smile restoration solution is being used successfully by many Provo dentists. It is usually more affordable than dental implant replacements for several natural teeth.

Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health, improving your ability to eat and speak. If you are embarrassed to smile or laugh, it’s time to bring back your beautiful smile!

Cosmetic Dentistry Orem A smile takes but a moment, but the memory of it lasts forever. You can make your smile memorable and beautiful with a smile makeover at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry near Orem.

Cosmetic dentistry is a broad term that specifies dentistry with an emphasis on esthetics. Orem area cosmetic dentists perform general dentistry procedures in addition to providing advanced cosmetic dental treatments. Orem cosmetic dentists have specialized training in the latest cosmetic dental procedures and techniques.

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry cosmetic dentists in the Orem area are knowledgeable about the processes used to fabricate crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, braces and dental implants. Advances in ceramic and composite materials have boosted the popularity of Orem cosmetic dentistry but these miracle materials are worthless without a skilled cosmetic dentist to incorporate them into a healthy and beautiful smile.

When designing a dental treatment plan for an Orem patient, the client’s goals and expectations are discussed. The most skillful cosmetic dentists consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. The cosmetic dental client’s age, health condition and lifestyle also influence the plan.

If you want to learn about the possibilities for your smile, call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070. We have created memorable smiles for many of your friends and neighbors in the Orem area.

Cosmetic Denistry in Orem Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your other teeth are nicely shaped and pearly white, guess what other people notice? Yep, the ugly duckling. You have probably experienced that yourself when you have looked at a smile that contains one discolored tooth. No matter how hard you try, the unsightly one is impossible to ignore.

A beautiful smile is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!

Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry
Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available in Provo at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.

What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible in the Provo area with dental implants.

For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070. We are conveniently located at 3575 N 100 E, Ste 200 in Provo. We provide advanced laser and sedation dentistry for patients in Provo and the surrounding areas. We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before & after’ pictures.

Provo Tooth Restoration: Dental Implants and Dental Bridges

Posted on
Categories: Dental Implants

Provo Dental Implants and Dental Bridges When our Provo clients ask us about tooth restoration, we usually tell them about fixed (or ‘traditional’) dental bridges or tooth implants. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which replaces a missing tooth. The false tooth (called a ‘pontic’) is fused to porcelain crowns on either side of the missing tooth.

Tooth replacement has been a highly requested procedure at our Provo cosmetic dental practice. Patients from the Provo area have expressed concern about tooth replacement for many years. Most of the questions about restorative dental services have to do with the strength of the tooth replacement, and durability.

Dental implants are also popular concern for our Provo tooth replacement patients. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

After it has bonded with the bone (it usually takes three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (dental crown) is then attached. The entire process takes several months, but consistently yields terrific results for Provo tooth restoration patients. Our cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that we stay up to date on the latest advancements in tooth replacement procedures.

Both Provo smile restoration options preserve or restore facial contour and allow you to talk and eat normally. Tooth replacements prevent adjoining teeth from gradually shifting and can help correct bite problems, too. Tooth implants and dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth. Many Provo area dental patients have been treated successfully with these tooth restoration alternatives.

Call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry and ask for Drs. Hammond to schedule an evaluation for Provo tooth restoration. You can schedule your tooth restoration by calling us at 801-374-0070.

What Does A Missing Tooth Say About You?

Categories: Dental Implants

Park City Mini-Implants When you meet someone in Utah County who is missing a front tooth, what does that say to you? Do you wonder if they were in an accident? Do you automatically start making assumptions about their income, level of education and overall physical health?

Though it is extremely unfair, we are often judged (and misjudged) by our appearance. Even if a person is impeccably dressed and groomed, a missing front tooth detracts from the overall pleasing impression.

Here is a personal story from a woman who lost a tooth:

“I lost my job and along with it my dental insurance, then a month later, one of my front teeth. It has been very hard to find work…. and I know the missing tooth has cost me several jobs.”

A missing tooth can be a big deal.

Dental implants not only restore oral health, they restore self-confidence. Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Studies have shown that after more than 20 years, the vast majority of dental implants placed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons continue to function at peak performance. If properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Dental implants are one of the procedures we routinely perform at Hammond, Aesthetic & General Dentistry to help our Utah County cosmetic dentistry clients regain the beautiful smile they once had. Not all cosmetic dental procedures are as extreme as teeth implants. There are many minimally-invasive remedies for unattractive smiles.

Porcelain veneers instantly provide a perfect, gleaming tooth surface for Utah County clients with broken or discolored teeth. Tooth whitening is a quick and affordable dentistry procedure in Utah County that achieves dramatic results without requiring the removal of any tooth structure. Call Hammond, Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070 for more information about smile design and restorative dentistry.

Let’s Talk About Your SmileWe’re Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry. Our office is located at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo. One of the best things about being Orem area dentists is interacting with our patients. During initial dental consultations, we listen carefully to our patient’s short and long term dental goals.

We enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of our clients desire a total smile makeover. I explain in detail the treatments available including teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontia, crown restoration, and dental implants.

If a client is nervous about undergoing treatment, we discuss oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation, sometimes called oral sedation dentistry, is a great option for anxious patients. Dental visits do not have to be painful!

After the treatment has been completed, it is very gratifying for me to see my patient’s reaction to their new smile.

I never get tired of creating dramatic smile transformations for the best clients in Utah!

If you have been considering a smile makeover, let’s talk about your smile. Call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070 to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo Hello! We’re Dr. Chris Hammond, DMD, of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo.

We have been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry since 1996. Dentistry is a challenging and fascinating profession; dentists must have diagnostic skills, dexterity, extensive scientific knowledge, and good visual memory. Dentistry also requires artistic ability. In addition to the technical aspects of dentistry, we really enjoy interacting with our Provo dental patients.

We recognize that our clients have other choices in Provo area dental practices, and we work continually to earn their trust and surpass their expectations.

Each Provo dentistry client is unique. Many of our patients come in twice-yearly for an exam and cleaning. We help them maintain excellent oral health. Some Provo cosmetic dentistry clients come to me seeking major restorative dental work such as dental implants. It is extremely gratifying to complete a smile makeover and see the client’s reaction when they see the result for the first time.

When we have a pre-treatment consultation with a new Provo general dentistry client, it is very informative for both of us. The patient learns the specifics about the possible procedures and we learn about the clients’ goals, concerns and expectations. Then we work with the client to develop a dental treatment plan that fits the patient’s needs, desired outcome and budget.

Our dental practice is located at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo. If you are looking for an experienced dentist in the Provo area, call 801-374-0070 to schedule a consultation.

We look forward to meeting with you.
