Even though many people might be lucky enough not to need braces or any other dental corrections in their younger years, they might still not be completely happy with how their smile appears. The appearance of teeth can become increasingly important as younger people transition into their adult years and think about their career goals. For many jobs, your appearance is an important aspect of looking presentable, so fixing any imperfections might become a higher priority.

Likewise, older patients might decide to have their smile corrected because it has changed over time and might not look the way they want. That’s where cosmetic dentistry can come into play!

The skilled cosmetic dentists at Little Rock Family Dental Care have been helping patients throughout Arkansas who visit our office to either discover a smile they did not know they had or refine their existing appearance to achieve their desired look. (more…)

Why You Need to Replace Missing Teeth

Filed under: Dental Emergency,Dental Implants,Oral Hygiene — lrfamily @ 9:00 am

According to the American College of Prosthodontists, about 178 million people in the United States are missing at least one tooth and these numbers are expected to grow within the next two decades. It is very important to always replace a tooth that you have lost as soon as possible. It is more than just about the way you look. Rather, it is about the health of your mouth, jaw, and body, which are all designed to work together at peak performance.

When you have a tooth that is missing, this can cause many problems including:

Tooth shifting

Your jaw has space for and is designed to operate with 28 teeth. If one of those placeholders fall out, then the surrounding teeth begin to shift to fill this empty space, resulting in all of your teeth being moved out of alignment. This can cause a biting problem because when the lower and upper jaws don’t meet properly, it can strain and damage the jaw joint. In some cases, the remaining teeth can super erupt and cause increased sensitivity to temperature extremes and sweets. (more…)

If you’re missing a tooth or needing to have one replaced, dental implants may be a good option for you to look into. There are many reasons implants are appealing options for tooth replacement, but there are also factors that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision since despite their utility, dental implants are not for everyone.

Pros
Pain experienced from eating, speaking, or daily use is often cured with dental implants. There is a very high success rate for procedures of this kind, and with regular maintenance, they have the capability to last a lifetime.
