Missing Teeth And Dental Implants

By Dental health, Dental implants, Restorative dentistry

implant dentures

They say that statistics don’t lie, and the statistics on tooth loss among American adults are quite jarring. By the time they reach the age of fifty, most have lost an average of twelve natural teeth. Dental implants from Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover are an ideal solution to this problem.

Between the ages of thirty-five and forty-four, sixty-nine percent of adults have lost at least one of their permanent teeth. The main reasons for all this loss is tooth decay.

Dental implants are metal posts that are surgically placed into the jaw. Within a few months the post and bone have grown together. This becomes a solid support for an artificial tooth.

Implant-supported artificial teeth are durable and long-lasting. They look and function like natural teeth. Most recipients say that once the healing is over, they are able to eat the things they have always enjoyed.

One dental implant can support one artificial tooth. Several implants can support a dental bridge, or a full dental arch. At least three million people are already enjoying the benefits of dental implants, with more people getting one each passing year.

At Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover we offer single-tooth dental implants and other restorative dentistry options. Patients throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley have benefitted from this top-of-the-line technology. Contact us today!

Just Like Natural Teeth!

By Cosmetic dentistry, General dentistry

porcelain veneers

Is your smile beginning to look a little dull? Has its luster faded over the years? Maybe you’ve got a chipped tooth – or maybe even a couple. You don’t have to live with these imperfections if you don’t want to. At Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover, porcelain veneers can mask these and other dental flaws, leaving you with a magnificent smile.

Porcelain veneers are custom-fitted medical-grade porcelain shells that are permanently attached to the surface of the teeth that need correcting. They look just like natural teeth ñ naturally perfect teeth, in fact.

One thing to remember: a thin layer of enamel must be removed from the front of each tooth being covered with a veneer, in order for them to properly adhere. Once they’re cemented in, they are permanent. But once they are placed, you’ll have the best-looking teeth of anyone you know.

To find out more about porcelain veneers, schedule an appointment with Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover . People from Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley come to us for veneers and other cosmetic dentistry options. Contact us today!

5 Cavity Basics

By Dental health, General dentistry

Preventing tooth decay is one of the main reasons people come to us at Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover. In this blog post, we’ll describe five things you should know about cavities.

  1. Cavities mean tooth decay. They happen when certain bacteria produce acids that destroy a tooth’s hard surface, called enamel, and the underlying dentin.
  2. Factors that contribute to cavities include poor flossing and brushing habits, consuming too much sugar, and between-meal eating without cleaning.
  3. Symptoms of tooth decay include tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold foot and beverages, and pain while chewing.
  4. Cavities are most common among children, but adults can get them too.
  5. Tooth decay is preventable. Be sure to brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, floss at least once, eat right, avoid frequent snacking, and have regular dental checkups.

At Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover we want all our patients to enjoy the best possible dental health. Patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley come to us for complete general and restorative dentistry. Contact us today!

But for just as many folks – especially those with missing teeth – it can also be a daunting endeavor. After all, holidays include a ton of socialization and interaction.

Dental Implants Are Truly Life-Changing

By Dental implants, Restorative dentistry

Patients who are thinking about a dental implant from Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover often ask how long they last. An implant is a significant investment, after all. Do they really last a lifetime, like people say? The answer is yes, but an explanation is in order.

A dental implant is not a replacement tooth, but the titanium post that is inserted into the jaw. Titanium is well-suited for implants, and cases of rejection by the body are rare. A big factor in how long the implant lasts comes down to how well you take care of it.

Dental implants are life-changing! With regular checkups and proper care at home, a dental implant can last a lifetime. When you get your implant we will have specific instructions for daily care. For most patients, we recommend brushing and flossing twice a day.

Dental implants like those from Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover have become the tooth replacement solution of choice. Patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley also come to our office for complete restorative dentistry. Contact us today!

Are All Carbs Created Equal?

By Dental health, General dentistry

Most people know that the sugar in candy, cookies, juices and sodas can harm your teeth, but some people don’t realize that all carbohydrates can cause cavities. As we’ll describe in this post from Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover, a handful of pretzels or a piece of pumpernickel bread can have the same effect on your teeth as a fudge brownie.

All carbohydrates break down into simple sugars, which are converted into plaque, which can then cause cavities and gum disease. Carbs are naturally sticky and adhere to your teeth. Eating carbs with meals is healthier than eating them as snacks because more saliva is generated at mealtime. Saliva helps prevent food particles from sticking to teeth.

Another way people can improve their oral health is to get plenty of calcium: 800mg a day for men and 1,000mg for women under 50. Calcium helps strengthen your jaw and secure your teeth firmly in the jaw bone.

At Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover, we want all our patients to enjoy clean teeth and healthy smiles. Our services include general and restorative dentistry. Patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley also come to us for cosmetic dentistry. Contact us today!
