CEREC

Jan 20

Ceramic veneers are the perfect solution for restoring a single tooth, particularly if you have a chipped, poorly shaped or discolored tooth.

CEREC is ceramic reconstruction of a tooth (or teeth). CEREC is used for inlays, onlays, and crowns. It offers you the convenience of fewer visits. Most veneers can be done in a single visit.

See how CEREC veneers can make a difference in a smile.

The Crowning Touch

Jan 18

When you think of a dental crown it is usually to cover a broken tooth. However, crowns also serve other purposes. A crown protects a weak tooth structure, can hold a dental bridge in place or cover a dental implant.

Crowns can also serve a cosmetic purpose in dentistry. A crown can cover a tooth that is poorly shaped or severely discolored. Dr. McDowell is recognized as an expert in the field of cosmetic dentistry. As an esthetician, he will properly match colors to achieve a consistent appearance for your teeth. The result will be a crown that has the appearance of a real tooth and feel comfortable once in place.

If tooth discoloration or shape is a concern for you, Wayzata Dental & SmileSpa can answer your questions. We will develop a treatment plan that you are comfortable with and will improve your smile!

Taking Care of Your Baby’s Teeth

Jan 16

Having a baby in the house brings on many changes. Your baby depends on you for everything for many months, physically and emotionally. The checkups with the Pediatrician are considered routine, but you also need to start thinking about the health and care of baby’s teeth.

Even before the first teeth appear, it is the time to start caring for your baby’s teeth.

  • Gently clean the baby’s upper and lower gums with a clean, damp piece of gauze twice a day
  • Check with your dentist regarding fluoride for the baby’s teeth
  • Watch for any spotting or staining on teeth
  • Never put baby to bed with a bottle
  • Be sure the foods you feed your baby are healthy and make sweets a special occasion treat
  • Don’t dip pacifiers in sweet drinks or honey (never give honey to a child under the age of 1)
