4 Smile Boosters

Lehi cosmetic dental and tooth implants

Hi, my name is Drs. Chris Hammond. My dental practice, Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, has been serving the Provo, Utah area since 1967. Today in my Orem dental blog, I would like to highlight four ways you can improve your smile.

1. Teeth Whitening is quick and non-invasive. External tooth whitening occurs when teeth whitening agents bleach the teeth directly. This can be done in your home or in the office of your dentist.

2. Dental Implants are another common procedure that many Provo residents seek. A dental implant is secured into the jawbone to replace the roots of a lost tooth. A crown is then attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth. Along with improving appearance and restoring tooth function, the dental implant does double-duty by helping to preserve bone support.

3. Dental Bonding can be done with various materials such as porcelains and composite resins. With recent advances in cosmetic dental services, these materials can more precisely replicate natural tooth structure and natural appearance. This procedure is commonly used to correct chipped or cracked teeth.

4. Periodontal Plastic Surgery is a wonderful solution for gum recession and cosmetic irregularities. Gum tissue is removed or added to give the appropriate framework to the teeth.

I hope this post has helped you to get better acquainted with some highly effective cosmetic dentistry treatments. A combination of procedures can be used to give Provo dental patients a complete smile redesign.

To schedule an appointment at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, give us a call at 801-374-0070.

Provo Wants Silver Screen Smiles

Utah County Cosmetic Dentistry For Silver Screen Smiles

With the constant media coverage of celebrities, many Provo dental patients are interested in having a smile like the stars. With an experienced dentist and the right smile makeover procedures, anyone can have a smile they want to show off.

Many smile makeovers include teeth whitening. There are a variety of ways this can be done. Most Provo, Orem, and Utah County drugstores sell over-the-counter whitening strips and gels. Your Provo cosmetic dentist can recommend an effective one, or he may offer in-office bleaching. This is a quick way to see whiter teeth in less than an hour.

For missing teeth, most Orem cosmetic dentists will recommend a dental implant. Because a dental implant is anchored into the jawbone, it looks and feels just like a natural tooth. A dental implant prevents jawbone recession and the shifting of adjacent teeth.

Veneers are especially popular in the Utah County area. They cover the front of the teeth and are custom-made for each individual patient. These are useful for Provo patients who have broken or chipped teeth, stained teeth, or gaps between teeth that they would like to hide.

Enamel shaping, bonding, and braces are other successful treatments that can be used to help your teeth look their best.

We’re Dr. Hammond, trusted Provo dentists. If you are looking for quality dental care in the Provo, Orem, or Utah County area, we hope you’ll give us a call at 801-374-0070.

We offer cosmetic dentistry, sedation dentistry, dental implants, and dental crowns.


Celebrity Smiles in Provo

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!

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo Cares For Teeth

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo Cares For Teeth Dentists in Provo are concerned with your oral health and thus care about the condition of your mouth and all of your many teeth. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry we recognize that your teeth help you both eat and speak. You use your teeth to tear, scrape, and chew food, as well as to form words with your tongue. Teeth are an important part of your oral health and Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry located in Provo, Utah wants to help keep your mouth and teeth healthy.

We humans have two sets of teeth in our lifetime. The first set are your ‘primary teeth’, which many folks often call ‘baby teeth’. Baby teeth typically start to come in at about 6 months old. An average healthy mouth has a total of 20 primary teeth by about age 5.

Your primary teeth will eventually fall out and new teeth known as ‘permanent teeth’ will grow in. Permanent teeth typically begin to come in around age 6, but every person is unique and it could be a little earlier or later. By about age 13 an average healthy mouth should have 28 of the total 32 permanent teeth. The last four permanent teeth may or may not come, but typically come in between the ages of 17 and 21 if they do. Because of the late age that these last teeth come in they are commonly called ‘wisdom teeth’.

Many adults in Provo have their wisdom teeth pulled out because these teeth can be problematic to your oral health, such as crowding a mouth. Other adults in the Provo area may not have these teeth pulled out because they are not causing problems. If you are concerned about the state of your wisdom teeth you can visit our local Provo office and we can help you make a decision.

Caring for all of your teeth whether you are young and have 20 primary teeth or are an adult and have 28 to 32 permanent teeth is important for your overall health. Visiting your Provo dentist regularly, and brushing and flossing daily are great ways to care for your many teeth.
