Many people have a gap in their front teeth. This is called a diastema and generally isn’t a problem to your health. This patient wanted his gap closed for aesthetic reasons. He chose to have his front teeth gap closed with veneers.

Not many things are as eye-catching as a perfect smile; it’s the sign of someone who’s dedicated to a solid oral care routine. But there are some conditions that can ruin it faster than it took to perfect. We recently had a patient come in with tooth erosion from years of soda drinking. Acid erosion from soda is one of those ailments to which everyone should pay attention so they can be sure their brushing and flossing still give them the result they expect.
One of the keys things you’ll need to know when evaluating your oral care routine is the difference between mouthwash and fluoride rinse.
Do you experience tooth pain from hot and cold sensitivity?
Are your gums receding and exposing the roots of your teeth?
If so, you could benefit from pinhole gum rejuvenation.
Your gum is the support for your teeth and protects your teeth from disease, deterioration and other unsightly issues.
What are Porcelain Onlays? At Southview we use the CEREC machine to mill porcelain onlays for teeth. 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.
