Most of all, these modernizations mean patients can expect to spend less time in the dentist’s chair and experience less discomfort during treatment.

Dentures are a popular solution for people who have missing teeth, and they work well for the right individuals who are prepared to handle the daily demands that come with wearing dentures. Some men and women, however, want and need a permanent alternative to dentures that requires nothing more than brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits for upkeep. Enter dental implants.
Plenty of people visit their hair stylist, photos of celebs at the ready, requesting a hair makeover that will help them look like Jennifer Aniston or Brad Pitt. But it just so happens that a great deal of people visit their cosmetic dentist with the same kind of requests – they want a smile makeover that channels a megawatt celebrity grin.

Many professional adults want straighter teeth, but may feel they just don’t have time for orthodontia (or a “brace face” once they’ve passed their 18th birthday). Invisalign is an under-the-radar answer to straight teeth that’s making professionals everywhere happy because they can get the smile they want without making this cosmetic adjustment obvious to colleagues, clients, or coworkers.
Online dating is the predominant way that people meet today, and while it’s easy to hide any flaws in photos you post to your online dating profile, there will come a day when you meet face to face with a potential mate. Match.com conducted a survey to see what’s on the list of desirable traits in a date. Are you surprised to know that teeth come in solidly at #1?
While some people are lucky enough to be born with the genes that will give them a straight, strong, gleaming smile, the rest of the population may need a little help getting the best grin possible. But when your smile is healthy and beautiful, that’s something to be thankful for, no matter how you came to have it.
The National Retail Federation reports that Americans will spend $2.2 billion on Halloween candy this year. But it’s not just the kids who are noshing on these goodies. A Delta Dental Children’s Oral Health Survey found that nearly 80 percent of parents admit to eating their children’s Halloween candy. The verdict? Lots of candy is being eaten by grown-ups and kids alike, and dental problems and emergencies will inevitably follow.

Runners are impressive athletes, but a recent study is reporting that even though their bodies are lean, toned, and healthy, the oral health of runners undergoing endurance training is in bad shape.
The Scandinavian Journal for Medicine & Science in Sports has discovered that runners and athletes who train for long periods of time and multiple days a week are more likely to have cavities and tooth erosion, mostly due to reduced saliva flow, but also because of what they’re ingesting to refuel during or after a workout.
More than half of pregnant women do not get dental exams, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). There’s likely one main reason why these mothers-to-be drag their feet about taking care of their teeth and gums: An overwhelming concern that dental treatment could harm their unborn babies. In fact, the opposite is true – not taking care of your teeth is what could harm your baby and you.
How much time do you spend on grooming products and doing your hair and makeup every day? Now, compare that to how much attention your teeth receive. Chances are, your pearly whites (or not-so-pearly whites) are getting the short end of the stick. Does your oral health regimen consist of about a minute’s worth of attention using toothbrush, toothpaste, and (sometimes) floss? That just isn’t enough. And some whitening strips every now and then aren’t going to get the job done either.
Good visit seen on time. Jennifer was calming and professional. Easy to talk to. Dr. Carole did exam and she is a great dentist. Love this office.
Most people dread going to the dentist. I look forward to a warm, oving environment, with the best of care!
The staff and Dr. Sherrod really were gentle and kept me calm, as I am a big baby at the dentist. I feel they truly have the future of my teeth and gums in mind and will do what they can to keep me healthy.
Always treated very well, great staff and Carole is the best!
It’s the best office around.
Always a fantastic experience and a perfect teeth cleaning!
I love this Dental office. They are all so nice and thoughtful. You can trust them. Highly recommended.
