How To Avoid The Decay That Leads To Extractions
You may wonder about tooth decay and if there’s anything you can really do to avoid it. Sure, you always hear that if you take good care of your smile, it will help keep you in the cavity-free club but if you’re not feeling so sure about what that entails or how foolproof it really is, then it can cause you to feel less than enthusiastic about trying. Wonderful news: You can most certainly avoid the decay that can lead to an unwelcome need for a dental extraction when you’re on target with some very simple approaches toward keeping your smile clean and free of plaque and tartar. Consider our Santa Rosa, CA team’s details.
Healing, Recovery, And Dental Implants!
We hear a lot from patients about what happens immediately after their dental implants are placed. They want to know what to expect from recovery, what type of healing is going to occur, what they need to consider in order to be prepared, and why it seems to take quite a long time (if you’re comparing the experience with receiving something like a dental bridge). As you might have already figured out, our Rohnert Park, CA oral surgery team is ready to respond to such uncertainty with some very simple answers that can make you feel a whole lot better about your outlook post-placement!
How To Look Forward To Oral Surgery (Instead Of The Opposite)

We know that especially for patients that have not received this type of oral health care before, it can be a little bit scary. We would love for you to consider some suggestions that we like to offer our patients that may help you say goodbye to any nervousness you’re experiencing and instead to say hello to actually looking forward to the treatment!

Dental Implant Options: Details We Consider
We talk an awful lot about the fact that you have oh so many options when you decide that you would like dental implants for your smile.

Our Rohnert Park, CA team would like to help you feel clearer about the types of details that we consider and how they can play into making your final decision much easier and something you feel enormously happy you’ve selected.
From Missing Teeth To Implants: Embrace And Enjoy The Difference

This is often very true of individuals who are missing teeth but who would like to change that by coming in to our Santa Rosa, CA practice to receive dental implants. While you know this is, of course, a fantastic decision that will mean a very positive impact for your smile, that doesn’t mean you aren’t a bit fearful of the changes. What will happen when your smile becomes different, thanks to teeth replacements? While it can seem a bit scary, we are here to remind you that these differences will actually mean such wonderful things for your smile and its future. Find out just what we mean as we answer common questions.
Dental Implants: Like Hitting The Restart Button!
There are so many ways to look at dental implants, which is why our Rohnert Park, CA team talks about shifting your perspective quite frequently. While we can get quite complex or abstract about it, we can also offer a very simplified suggestion: Just think of choosing implants as a choice that’s similar to hitting the “restart” button on anything that isn’t working. What’s a “restart” get you? Well, it clears everything that’s been happening and puts you back to a previous moment (think about restarting a video game, your computer, etc.). Why not enjoy this exceptional benefit for your smile, which lets you return to a better time when your grin was complete, completely functional, and looked lovely?
