If you enjoy participating in sports as much as you enjoy watching the area’s teams, you may be a great candidate for customized sports guards. If you’re more of an armchair athlete, there are still plenty of ways to protect your teeth and gums from the primary causes of tooth loss: decay and gum disease. Your dentist near Auburn Hills MI, John L. Aurelia, DDS, PLLC, prioritizes preventive dental care and patient education. Let that education start with a brief Q&A:
What are some of the ways I can keep my teeth healthy?
Professional cleanings are a cornerstone of a healthy mouth. These cleanings are usually scheduled every six months, and precede an exam by Dr. John Aurelia or Dr. Dina Khoury. Gums are also the foundation for beautiful teeth that feel good and function well. We offer nonsurgical gum treatment, as well as deep cleaning of teeth and soft tissues to resolve conditions and prevent tooth loss or the need for extractions. Personalized dental care means suggestions for home brushing, flossing, and other techniques are tailored to you.
What if my teeth are damaged?
We can get you out of tooth pain and restore your smile and health quickly. Decayed teeth may be treated with cosmetic fillings, root canal therapy, and porcelain crowns, or tooth replacement such as dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Drs. Aurelia and Khoury also work with dental specialist providers in disciplines such as gum disease, restorations, oral surgery, orthodontics, and children’s dental care.
My teeth are sensitive. Am I a candidate for cosmetic veneers?
All treatments start with an exam to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. Existing inflammation and disease must be resolved before elective treatment. Today’s veneers are made from very thin layers of dental ceramic, which means very little enamel is removed. The less the tooth is reduced, the less the risk of sensitivity. Likewise, other cosmetic treatments at our office, such as teeth whitening system Zoom! or take-home trays, can be prescribed with additional products to manage sensitive teeth. Your mouth is one of a kind, so we’ll discuss your specific concerns and needs during an appointment.
