If you had a bleeding sore on the back of your hand, you’d want to see a doctor soon, right? You should feel the same way about swollen or bleeding gums. It’s serious. Researchers are linking the infection of bleeding gums to heart disease. Healthy gums are the natural starting point for any great smile. Dentistry these days combines science with fine art. It takes a craftsman’s skill to make sure the restoration of a damaged mouth is as attractive as it is durable.
Our goal is always a cosmetically attractive, natural-appearing smile. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return real structural integrity to damaged teeth, while leaving them looking as good as (or possibly better than) the originals. This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings. There’s a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and a porcelain restoration that reflects the translucence of natural teeth. Yes, it is possible to turn “metal mouth” back to the natural smile you had when you were younger or maybe implants are the best solution for you. A comprehensive exam by Dr. Poitras will give you all the answers to all your questions!
Best of all, we can do it all while you are completely relaxed. Sedation Dentistry lets you doze comfortably in the chair for as long as six hours while all the corrections are made. You deserve a smile that’s as sensational as you are.
Give us a call and we’ll fill you in on healthy, gums and teeth via Sedation Dentistry.
