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.

Inlays and Onlays

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

Inlays and onlays are categorized as a type of tooth restoration, repairing your tooth to its natural form and utility. Experienced dentists at Old Milton Dental may recommend this procedure if your tooth decay requires more than a filling, but not the extent of a dental crown.

Inlays and onlays cover the biting surface of your tooth. The difference between the two lies in the placement of the material. Inlays are placed in the middle of your tooth. Onlays are required when the entire biting surface or cusps, points of your tooth, need restoration. The benefits that accompany this procedure make it one of the best tooth restoration options.

All inlays and onlays are custom fit. It’s perfect fit and porcelain composition result in a very natural appearance. The porcelain is stain-resistant, eliminating any concerns about discoloration. Threats of discoloration and staining remain minimal because inlays and onlays are easy to clean. Exceptional hygiene can be continued after the procedure. Inlays and onlays are extremely durable, lasting up to 30 years. No other dental restoration maintains this longevity.

There are relatively few dentists who perform inlay and onlay restorations, and there are even fewer with Cerec 3D Technology. Old Milton Dental uses Cerec 3D Technology to provide you with a stronger restoration and a shorter wait, all while cutting your costs! Your dental impression does not need to be sent to an outside lab. Old Milton Dental creates the porcelain restoration as you wait. Cerec restorations have demonstrated three times the strength of restorations made in off-site labs. Old Milton Dental provides the best technology and dental procedures available.

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.

Early Oral Cancer Detection

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

Old Milton Dental has dedicated this blog entry to inform you about preventing a dangerous and vicious cancer known as oral cancer. Oral and throat (pharyngeal) cancer have the highest death rates among any other cancers. The Oral Cancer Foundation reports the main factor in this high death rate repeatedly is late diagnosis.

Similar to many types of diseases, early diagnosis can result in uncharted benefits and advantages against the raging disease. Old Milton Dental is ready to help you detect and fight oral cancer.

In your defense against oral cancer, it is critical to understand common symptoms. Most patients see their dentist biannually or annually for check ups and dental cleanings. With several months in between visits, we encourage you to pay attention to conditions in your mouth. If are experiencing any of the following symptoms, please contact our office immediately.

A sore in your mouth or on your lip that does not heal in 14 days
Red or white patches in your mouth or on your lips
A lump felt inside your mouth or on your neck
Numbness in your face or mouth
Persistent ear aches
Difficulty in speaking, swallowing, or chewing

The beginnings of oral cancer are often difficult to detect because the symptoms may not seem problematic. Some of these symptoms, like lesions and tumors, can quickly transform into ulcers and cause permanent damage to your mouth and oral cavity.

Old Milton Dental’s expert dentists are ready to screen any problematic areas. Although you may not think your symptom is as serious as oral cancer, we highly recommend you seek a professional’s diagnosis. Our professional staff at Old Milton Dental is ready and willing to help you with any concerns or questions.

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.

Child Dentistry

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Alpharetta Dentist

Old Milton Dental believes dental and oral health begins in infancy. As infants begin to develop their teeth, they are also developing the risk of dental caries (ie. cavities and tooth loss). From teething to braces, it is imperative parents are extremely attentive to the dental health of their children.

Unfortunately, reports have shown that parents are not paying as close attention to their children’s teeth and dental health as may be necessary. In the past decade, the Surgeon General and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has reported tooth decay and cavities as the most chronic ailments in children, as well as teenagers.

“My child just has baby teeth, and eventually they will fall out. We shouldn’t waste our time or money on dental visits for baby teeth.” This is a common argument and justification for not seeing a dentist during early years. Baby teeth will fall out, however oral health needs to begin from infancy, just as nutritional and physical health are priorities. Prevention is essential during this formation years.

Brushing and massaging gums is the first step in establishing dental hygiene. The soft brushing and gentle massaging can help ease the pain many infants experience while they are teething. You can accomplish this using a toothbrush made especially for infants, or a simple washcloth. This will help remove acids from medicines, as well as sugars from milk formulas and baby food.

At 12 months, baby teeth can be brushed with a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Teaching children how to brush their teeth early will aid tremendously in forming their own dental hygiene practices. Children will learn the importance of brushing their teeth if it becomes a routine, priority, and their own responsibility.

Our professionals at Old Milton Dental have many suggestions and tips for you as a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or even teacher. The staff at Old Milton Dental strongly believes in the importance of early dental health and prevention. Visit us today to learn more about dental practices and procedures for children, including fluoride rinses and sealants. Time and effort investments today can result in tremendous savings in dental care in later years.
