Do you experience tooth pain from hot and cold sensitivity?

What are Porcelain Onlays? At Southview we use the CEREC machine to mill porcelain onlays. These are used to restore teeth where cavities or other tooth damage has compromised too much of the tooth for a traditional filling to effectively fix the tooth. Therefore, it’s a great way to preserve as much of the patient’s existing healthy tooth enamel as possible, which is ideal for maintaining a strong, long-lasting and natural mouth.
Our dentists, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Micheal, spent the weekend in Santa Rosa, CA doing hands-on trainings with Dr. James Klim himself, of the Klim Institute! Their classes focused on the mastering CEREC techniques for restoring patients’ front teeth look and feel for the best natural-looking finish.
Dentistry is constantly evolving with new technologies and techniques for less invasive and more natural looking teeth restorations. This “aesthetic revolution” is providing more options for dentists to provide to their patients for better care and outcomes!

Front teeth repairs come in all shapes, sizes and materials.
Composite resins, or tooth-colored fillings, provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small- to mid-size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. They can be used on either front or back teeth. They are a good choice for people who prefer that their fillings look more natural.
You kid’s teeth are important! It’s never too early to get children in the habit of good oral care; . Of course, it’s up to parents to take the “first steps.” Finding new ways to model good dental habits and practice them with your kids is key. The sooner kids begin to take charge of their own teeth, the happier and healthier they (and you) will be. And the payoffs over a lifetime are immeasurable.
It’s a common misconception that Invisalign can only be used if you need minimal straightening, and anything that requires more attention needs metal brackets. A patient of Dr. Kelly’s came in with severe crowding that they wanted to fix. Below are before and after images of what Invisalign can do to give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
Oral health isn’t something you can disregard or get complacent about the older you get, oral health is older adults is very important! In the past, losing teeth and getting dentures was considered an almost inevitable part of aging. Those days are over. Intact teeth, healthy gums and pain-free smiles are what older adults should expect as they maintain good oral hygiene and get regular dental care.
