Porcelain Veneers

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

Old Milton Dental understands the importance of having natural-looking teeth. The ceramic used in porcelain veneers closely replicates enamel in natural teeth. When light hits a tooth, it permeates through the enamel layer and the dentin, or deeper tissue of the tooth, is reflected. This translucency effect of the natural tooth and its enamel results in a natural lustrous smile. Porcelain veneers are translucent, just like natural enamel. The porcelain ceramic mimics the light characteristics of natural dental enamel with near exactness.

The surface of a porcelain veneer is very resistant to staining. Porcelain ceramic is glass-like, differing from other cosmetic bonding materials. This characteristic of the porcelain veneer contributes to its high quality and durability.

Porcelain veneers have great advantages and potential for patients who are currently uncomfortable with their smile. Treatment plans are very specific to each individual patient, and Dr. Corey Mazer and Dr. Katie Reid of Old Milton Dental are the experts you can turn to in deciding if porcelain veneers are the best option for you. Dental treatments vary in cost and result. Some treatments may be less expensive; however the results may not be as long-lasting. Old Milton Dental is dedicated to providing its patients with the best personal results for individual smiles and circumstances.

Invisalign

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

Invisalign provides a modern approach to receive the straight and vibrant smile you have waited for. Dr. Mazer and Dr. Reid are ready to help Atlanta, Alpharetta, and North Fulton patients silence all fears of orthodontics. The worries of food getting stuck in your braces are in the past. Metal wires cutting into your gums no longer pose a threat. The war between orthodontic appliances and yourself has finally ended.

Old Milton Dental dentists Dr. Corey Mazer and Dr. Katie Reed are Invisalign-trained experts who can discuss the benefits of Invisalign and decide if it is the best match for you and your orthodontic needs.

Similar to braces, Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into correct placement for an aesthetically pleasing and confident smile. Substituting metal brackets and wiring with clear, removable, tray-like aligners, Invisalign offers a comfortable and advanced orthodontic experience. The “invisible braces” correct bite and spacing problems, preventing dental decay, disease, and irritation. Invisalign and the clarity of the aligners provides a great advantage if you are embarrassed having “braces” at an older age. They are nearly invisible to those around you, and yourself!

Removable aligners enable you to brush and floss entire tooth and gum surfaces, ensuring a healthy mouth during the process. The removable aligners also eliminate any dietary restrictions that metal braces bring (i.e. popcorn, corn on the cob, etc.).

Invisalign maintains a 96% patient satisfaction rate with over a million patients worldwide. The high satisfaction rate compliments Invisalign’s all-encompassing benefits. It is effective and efficient. Results can be seen throughout the entire process, ensuring you are meeting your smile goal. Don’t allow these great benefits to pass. Consult with the Old Milton Dental staff to utilize this available resource.

Fluoride in Water

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has named water fluoridation one of the top 10 greatest public health achievements in the 20^th century. A substance called fluoride is naturally found in all water types and provides significant benefits to cavity prevention and tooth development.

Fluoride is an ionic compound of the element fluorine. Although this ion is found in all water sources, it is found in different concentrations. American communities for over 50 years have added additional amounts of fluoride to water sources in an effort to raise the dental health of community members. Tooth decay has decreased by 50%-60% in Americans since World War II due to water fluoridation. Water fluoridation benefits 73% of the American population today.

Fluoride protects the enamel layer of your teeth. The fluoride acts as a shield against acid and sugars that cause cavities and tooth decay. This shield blocks incoming threats, but it also strengthens the enamel it is protecting. Fluoride reinforces critical minerals that are only found in the tooth enamel.

Water fluoridation is an affordable means to prevent tooth decay. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that every $1 spent on water fluoridation by a community, saves $38 worth of dental treatments and procedures. Individuals of all ages, economic standings, and educational backgrounds, benefit from water fluoridation.

Old Milton Dental is more than willing to discuss fluoride options with you. Although water fluoridation is the most affordable way to protect your teeth, you can see the same benefits of fluoride in other various dental products. Today there are several fluoride rinses, toothpastes, gels, and dietary supplements that will be beneficial for individuals who are at high risk for dental decay. Old Milton Dental is happy to give our recommendations for fluoride products and answer any questions that you may have. Feel free to contact us and make an appointment today.

Cosmetic Bonding

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

Old Milton Dental offers cosmetic bonding as part of its cache of cosmetic dentistry procedures. Cosmetic bonding remains one of the least expensive and simplest techniques to perfect your smile. You will be surprised at the great results from such a straightforward procedure.

Cosmetic bonding erases any unwanted characteristics of teeth through the attachment of a thin layer of material, similar to what is used in fillings. This material is the same color as your teeth, making the appearance very natural. Our skilled dentists at Old Milton Dental will apply this thin layer to successfully mask chips, gaps, and discolorations. This procedure is an effective way to change the shape of your teeth, and even make your teeth look longer.

One of the major advantages cosmetic bonding has over other cosmetic procedures is it can be easily repaired if broken or chipped. Some other cosmetic dental procedures have to be completely replaced if damaged. If you maintain good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and cleanings, you can expect your cosmetic bonding to last up to ten years.

The dental staff at Old Milton Dental will be happy to assess the conditions of your teeth and smile to determine if cosmetic bonding the right option for you.

2010 Digital Dentistry Summit

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

Dr. Corey Mazer, DDS, of Old Milton Dental in Alpharetta, Georgia possesses an unmatched dedication to provide his patients with the most efficient and comfortable services available in preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. This personal drive and commitment to his Atlanta, Alpharetta, and North Fulton patients, led Dr. Corey Mazer from Alpharetta, Georgia to St. Paul, Minnesota for the 2010 Digital Dentistry Summit.

The Digital Dentistry Summit focused on the latest technology regarding 3M Lava Digital Dental Impressions. The 3M Lava Digital Dental Impression transforms the process of obtaining and reviewing a dental impression. Impressions, currently taken from plastic trays and gooey material, now can be more accurately obtained and assessed through a high precision wand-like instrument. This light weight and highly maneuverable instrument enables dentists, like Dr. Mazer, to examine the dimensions of a patient’s mouth through 3D video images. These images can be seen immediately and continuously.

Sparked with interest, Dr. Mazer took initiative to investigate this technology. With his Alpharetta, Atlanta, and North Fulton patients in mind, Dr. Mazer personally travelled to see how well this technology and its promises align with the Old Milton Dental philosophy of personal dedication in providing the best service in preventative, restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

Questions inevitably follow technology. How reliable is this technology? How will it affect Atlanta, Alpharetta, and North Fulton patients? These questions resonate in Dr. Mazer and are not taken lightly. Dr. Mazer will carefully consider this new technology and the consequences it will have on Old Milton Dental. Old Milton Dental patients can have confidence in their dentist. A 3M Lava Digital Dental Impression machine will only be welcome if it can provide Alpharetta, Georgia the same efficiency, hard work, and smiles as the Old Milton Dental staff.
