Top Tips On How To Take Care Of Your Teeth Using Simple Dental Care Tips That Work

Do not use over the counter whitening treatments if you have problems such as gum disease, tooth decay or cavities. These whitening treatments contain potent
chemicals that can cause severe pain and further damage if you apply them to teeth that already have damage, such as cracks, decay or diseased gums.

Always go to your dentist for the safest and best cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening procedures.

Make sure you go for a regular dental check-up, an assessment by your dentist and cleaning by your dental hygienist at least two times a year to maintains your oral health. Addressing minor issues before they become significant problems is the simplest way of keeping optimal oral health. Small cavities are always best to go ahead get filled immediately. Small holes are easy to fill, while large cavities take longer, cost more, and lead to extensive work like bridging, crowns, root canals or, in extreme cases, implants. That is why it's best to address any signs of tooth decay at an early stage, to keep dental treatment to a minimum.

Cosmetic Dentistry - Implant Timing

I met up with Cosmetic dentist Dr Dennis Shepherd in his dental clinic locally here in Whangarei, who explained the importance of site preparation for dental implants. In particular, your jaw bone health and how to treat the tooth extraction sites after tooth extraction. This process is called socket preservation, and it prevents bone shrinkage in the extraction site. This drives the urgency in getting your dental implant surgery ideally within three months of tooth extraction.

In this video, Dr Dennis Shepherd explains the dental implant surgery process and ideal time frames for implants placed after tooth extraction. Watch the video and find out why it is critically essential how your timing can be significant.

Dental Crowns & Bridges Cosmetic Dentist Whangarei

I recently asked a local cosmetic dentist here in Whangarei, Dr Dennis Shepherd, to explain dental crowns and dental bridges? (see video:)

A dental crown is like a little hat or crash helmet cemented over the tooth, reinforcing it. To save a tooth that has broken down substantially, either from a large filling in the tooth, or from having a root canal treatment.

The Rescue Dentist, uses the latest CAD CAM digital dental scanning, technology. We take a laser scan of the tooth, for our dental technician, to make the ceramic dental crowns that we cement over the tooth in ceramic or metal.

We also have a 3D milling machine that can, from the tooth scan, make an perfectly fitting crown within an hour. So in some cases, we can scan and fit a newly cut ceramic crown during the same appointment, and they fit perfectly.
