Supra-gingival (above the gum) minimally-invasive dentistry provides healthier dental treatments for patients. Supra-gingival procedures apply modern advances in materials and dental techniques that are healthier for the patient’s teeth and gums, less painful because they are minimally-invasive and produce more beautiful results because more of the natural beauty of the original tooth structure is left to shine through.
If you are one of 90 million American adults who snore, or one of 18 million Americans affected by sleep apnea, you might be surprised when your doctor sends you to the dentist to address your nighttime breathing issues.
If going to the dentist frightens you, then know that you’re not alone. An estimated 20% of Americans avoid going to the dentist because of fear or anxiety. The key to managing your dental anxiety is to discuss your fears with your dentist. Open communication will allow your dentist to provide you treatment options that can make you feel more comfortable, such as IV sedation. There are various reasons why people have dental anxiety. Some of the reasons are the following:
Tooth loss occurs when a tooth becomes loose and falls out. Tooth loss is normal in kids when the adult teeth start to come in. Losing adult teeth is undesirable. Two of the most common forms of tooth loss result from an injury or disease.
Over time, your teeth are exposed to foods, drinks and physical conditions that can affect their longevity. There are many ways in which a person can protect and preserve their permanent teeth from loss.
Making sure your child is properly brushing and flossing can be a challenge, but it’s well worth the effort. The risks of poor oral health aren’t limited to cavities. When plaque is not adequately removed from the gumline, bacterial growth can lead to gum disease, also called periodontal disease.

Root canal therapy is becoming increasingly advanced, benefiting both the patient and the dentist. Thanks to recent technological improvements, you can now have a root canal completed without invasive or painful surgery. These are some of the best advances that dentists are currently using to improve the root canal process.
Kids might not keep their baby teeth for long, but that’s no reason to ignore proper dental hygiene. Aside from the risk of getting cavities, untreated gum disease compromises kids’ ability to eat well, sleep properly, and function at home and school. Plus, healthy baby teeth keep jawlines straight and hold the space for adult teeth to grow in.
Traditionally, if you did not have sufficient bone mass in your jaws, the only option was bone graft surgery to regenerate and enough bone mass to create a sufficient foundation for traditional dental implants. Now there are revolutionary dental implant techniques that eliminate the need for bone grafting altogether. Zygomatic Implants are a graftless dental implant technique where the implant is directly embedded in your cheekbones (referred to as Zygoma), where there is enough bone support for the implants.
