This is the best options for people who have uneven gum line to achieve the perfect smile.

For over 80 percent of American adults, simply the idea of facing a dentist terrifies them more than facing characters from horror movies, like Jason and Freddie Kruger. In fact, dental phobia and anxiety is among the main reasons why most adults prefer not to go to a dentist and would rather live with their oral problems.<br /><br />Avoiding dental visits out of fear, however, actually does have grave consequences. For one, leaving a dental issue untreated gives you a higher risk of getting bigger problems like tooth loss and gum disease, which can then lead to more serious health problems like diabetes and even stroke. Here are some of the common reasons why most people are mortally afraid of dentists and the mere idea of dental checkups, and how sedation dentistry can help overcome this crippling fear.</div>

Dental implants are regarded by everyone as an effective way to solve their dental woes and restore their smiles. With proper care, patients can even see their restored smiles last for a lifetime. Recent incidents, however, show the negative effect of neglecting proper care for dental implants, as dentists are seeing an increase in cases of peri-implantitis, or the gradual loss of jaw bone supporting an implant.<br /><br />The Prevalence of Peri-Implantitis<br /><br />In its nature, peri-implantitis, like periodontitis or gum disease, is an inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection around the implant area, causing the gradual loss of the jaw bone that supports it. Dental experts, however, are still confirming whether the infection itself causes the gradual bone loss, or if the bone loss causes the exposure of the implant area to bacteria.<br />

Teeth are quite tough—they have to be considering how much punishment they go through day after day. However, even they aren’t completely resistant. It’s unavoidable for teeth to get damaged and stained. This makes people more hesitant to smile and show their teeth. This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in. Charlotte, NC residents with teeth that aren’t as pristine as they’re supposed to be can seek help from the likes of Ballantyne Center for Dentistry to undergo cosmetic procedures that will make their chompers look brand new. Here are a few of the techniques available to them.<br />
<br />
Whitening<br />
<br />
One of the more common techniques a cosmetic dentist uses is teeth whitening. Teeth get stained or discolored for a variety of reasons, such as bad habits like cigarette smoking, eating and drinking food and drinks like coffee and soda, and natural discoloration by aging.<br />

Gap-toothed grins may be cute on children, but not on adults. In the past, you’d have to satisfy yourself with getting dentures to replace your missing teeth. The problem with that is that dentures are not exactly the best teeth replacements. They can slip out at the worst times and can be uncomfortable to the wearer. Furthermore, they need regular maintenance. Thankfully, you can visit a local dentist to get a better option: dental implants. Why Dental Implants? Dental practices like the Ballantyne Center for Dentistry would be able to provide you with dental implants. However, why should you resort to it, instead of dentures? The main reason is that dental implants are demonstrably better than dentures. For one, dental implants are directly placed into your jawbone.<br/><a href="http://bit.ly/1XODbNG">http://bit.ly/1XODbNG</a>Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01167688894021057071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577175858400238325.post-71192008111889601282015-06-19T22:05:00.001-07:002015-06-19T22:05:07.998-07:00Charlotte Dental Implants: Most Important Things to Do After Surgery<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/BallantyneDentistry-1434730179-b.jpg'/><br/>As a patient, you should do everything in your power to ensure the success of a dental implant treatment, so following your dentist's instructions for post-operative care is critical. Depending on your dentist, the dental implant process could be lengthy, costly, and uncomfortable—not to mention painful, so you wouldn’t want to experience complications or failure after all that. The following are the most common post-operative instructions a patient must do after he finishes his treatment in Charlotte for dental implants. Mouth Rinsing Immediately after the first 24 hours of surgery, it is highly recommended to rinse the mouth with warm water. Your dentist may also suggest that you add a half teaspoon of salt to it to kill bacteria. You'll need to rinse your mouth four or five times a day, for three to four days. You can only resume brushing or flossing the surgical area after the sutures are removed or have disappeared.<br/><a href="http://ballantynedentistry.com/charlotte-dental-implants-most-important-things-to-do-after-surgery/">http://ballantynedentistry.com/charlotte-dental-implants-most-important-things-to-do-after-surgery/</a>Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01167688894021057071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577175858400238325.post-67588436098087849532015-06-19T09:15:00.001-07:002015-06-19T09:15:34.776-07:00Sedation Dentistry in Charlotte, NC Helps People Get Over Dental Fear<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/BallantyneDentistry-1434730026-a.jpg'/><br/>Imagine going through a dental treatment feeling relaxed the whole time without experiencing any type of fear or anxiety. That’s what sedation dentistry in Charlotte, NC can do for you. Sedation dentistry performed by a qualified dental practitioner makes it possible for patients to be completely relaxed throughout their dental treatment. Some people completely dread going to the dentist because of their aversion to and fear of certain dental procedures—even when these are deemed truly necessary for their wellbeing. Unfortunately, when an important dental treatment is sidestepped, it usually leads to poor oral health, causing the patient’s dental condition to deteriorate even further. Sedation dentistry offers a way to deal with this problem.<br/><a href="http://ballantynedentistry.com/sedation-dentistry-in-charlotte-nc-helps-people-get-over-dental-fear/">http://ballantynedentistry.com/sedation-dentistry-in-charlotte-nc-helps-people-get-over-dental-fear/</a>Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01167688894021057071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577175858400238325.post-39357620419225069952015-05-07T22:03:00.001-07:002015-05-07T22:03:30.340-07:00Charlotte, NC Dental Implants Are the Best Treatment for Tooth Loss<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/BallantyneDentistry-1431033861-B2.jpg'/><br/>Tooth loss doesn’t just result in an unsightly smile. According to an article by Dr. Carl Misch on DearDoctor.com, there are other negative consequences to losing teeth, and some of their effects are neither immediate nor readily apparent. Concealed Effects of Tooth Loss There’s more than just your teeth at stake. Dr. Misch says, “Believe it or not, in the beginning and at the end — it's not so much about teeth as it is about bone, which needs stimulation to maintain its form and density.” Over time, tooth loss may lead to the loss of alveolar bone, which is the thickened bone ridge holding the teeth.<br/><a href="http://ballantynedentistry.com/charlotte-nc-dental-implants-are-the-best-treatment-for-tooth-loss/">http://ballantynedentistry.com/charlotte-nc-dental-implants-are-the-best-treatment-for-tooth-loss/</a>Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01167688894021057071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577175858400238325.post-49788574756413743722015-05-07T14:24:00.001-07:002015-05-07T14:24:13.334-07:00Things to Know Before Having a Charlotte, NC Dentist Whiten Your Teeth<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/BallantyneDentistry-1431033754-B1.jpg'/><br/>Teeth aren’t called “pearly whites” for nothing. A bright smile showing perfect white teeth is a beauty standard. Anyone with good teeth can look more attractive than one who makes do with her crooked or stained teeth. Teeth whitening can be done DIY or professionally, though the latter is always recommended. Below are some of the useful things you need to know before you go for whitening services from your local Charlotte, NC dentist. Professional Whitening Is Better – Professional whitening is still the king of the hill when it comes to producing desirable results much faster. In-house whitening is also considered the safest whitening procedure there is due to the latest improvements in teeth whitening products and applications. For instance, gum and tooth sensitivity may have prevented people from trying teeth whitening before, but thicker peroxide gels have made such issues more manageable.<br/><a href="http://ballantynedentistry.com/things-to-know-before-having-a-charlotte-nc-dentist-whiten-your-teeth/">http://ballantynedentistry.com/things-to-know-before-having-a-charlotte-nc-dentist-whiten-your-teeth/</a>Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01167688894021057071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577175858400238325.post-39493825407397448012015-03-26T21:01:00.001-07:002015-03-26T21:01:00.646-07:00Expert Dentist in Charlotte, NC Offers Solution to Anxious Patients<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/BallantyneDentistry-1427301557-3.jpg'/><br/>Ballantyne Center for Dentistry offers an effective solution for people who need an expert dentist in Charlotte, NC but are anxious about going to a dental office.
