Dakota Dental Announces Premium Dental Services Using the Latest in Technology

Leave a comment

Dakota Dental stays up-to-date on the latest dental advancements and technologies to ensure patients have healthy teeth.

Apple Valley, MN, USA (November 22, 2015) — When it comes to dental work, it’s essential to keep up with the latest technologies. From cosmetic dentistry to general dental services, Dakota Dental is committed to treating patients with the newest and best practices in the industry to ensure good oral health.

Dental procedures have been documented since the time of the early Egyptians, when Aristotle and Hippocrates wrote about treating tooth decay and using wires to stabilize loose teeth. The field of dentistry has certainly come a long way over the centuries, and it is constantly evolving and expanding.

Dakota Dental uses digital x-rays, which are faster and contain less radiation than traditional x-rays. Not only is there less radiation, but dentists can zoom in for even more detail. Another advancement is with dental implants, which are screw-replacements for the root portion of missing teeth. These implants are used for patients with missing teeth that give the look and feel of a natural tooth.

Fillings have also come a long way over the years. In addition to the traditional amalgam fillings, Dakota Dental also offers tooth colored fillings to aesthetically blend in with patients’ teeth.

In terms of orthodontics, Invisalign braces are a practically invisible way to fix crooked teeth. Invisalign works by using a series of clear, removable, custom shaped aligners, which slowly straighten teeth. Compared to braces, the smooth aligners are more comfortable, faster, and invisible. Dakota Dental is a certified Invisalign provider, and provides a free consultation for patients considering if Invisalign is right for them.

Another cosmetic dental advancement is teeth whitening, which can lift off years of stains for a bright, white smile. Dakota Dental offers several solutions to whiten teeth, and walk patients through a custom teeth whitening plan that’s best for them.

These are just a few of the ways that Dakota Dental strives to use the newest technologies to make their patients more comfortable and give them the best possible dental care. Contact Dakota Dental today for more information or to make your next appointment.

Dakota Dental is Helping Patients Prevent and Treat Unsightly Cold Sores This Summer

Leave a comment

Apple Valley dental clinic Dakota Dental offers information, diagnosis, and treatment of oral health problems such as fever blisters.

Apple Valley, MN, USA (May 28, 2015) — Dakota Dental is pleased to assist clients in preventing and treating cold sores. The Apple Valley dentists are experienced in educating patients on and diagnosing a range of oral health problems including cold sores.

Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are an outward sign of an inner virus. The herpes simplex virus is highly contagious and is easily transmitted. All it takes to transfer the herpes virus from one person to another is a kiss, a shared eating utensil, or even a communal bathroom towel. Even though this virus is easily transmitted from person to person, it still has no cure.

After the initial manifestation of the virus, it will lie dormant until triggered. Once the virus is triggered, an infected person will feel the tell-tale tingling, itching, and burning sensations of a sore about to appear.

Most cold sores are located on the edges of the lips, but sores can also manifest on the chin and cheeks, in the nostrils, and in the mouth. Once the fluid-filled sores appear, they will eventually burst and crust over. Within about two weeks, the sore will heal and gradually disappear.

What triggers cold sores? It varies by person, but most cold sore flare-ups are caused by triggers such as excess sunlight exposure, illness, or stress. There are some treatments available to reduce the symptoms and to shorten the duration of cold sores. These include prescription and over-the-counter antiviral creams to be applied as soon as symptoms are noticed. Pain killers may also be taken to reduce the discomfort.

At Dakota Dental, the family dentists are very experienced in diagnosing and treating oral health problems such as cold sores. There is no reason to be ashamed of dental health issues – the Dakota Dental dentists in Apple Valley are dedicated to providing support to any person seeking dental care and strive to make every dental service experience positive.

Here are some of the services that are provided by the top San Diego dentist and how they can help you with your smile.

One of the services that you may be interested in is having porcelain veneers. This can make a significant change in the way that the tooth looks and although it is similar to dental bonding, it is considerably different in the way that it is done as well as the way that it looks. When you are talking about a dental veneer, what you are actually referring to is a thin shell which is bonded to the tooth surface in order to change its look and shape. Porcelain is used for this purpose because it is very durable and can be as strong as your tooth. Additionally, when you use porcelain for these types of veneers, you’re using material that does not stain easily as well.

Another service that is available from the top San Diego dentist at Dream Smile are dental implants. These can be done on either the lower or the upper jaw and in essence, it is a way for you to replace a missing tooth with something that is very similar to the tooth that used to exist in the area. It should be noted, there is going to be some time that is necessary for the healing process to take place after the initial implant is inserted. During that time, you may not have a replacement tooth available but after the healing is done, the final tooth is going to be inserted.

Another thing that you may want to consider as it is one of the professional services available from Dream Smile Top San Diego Dentist is to have tooth colored fillings inserted. Most of us are familiar with the metal looking fillings that were or may still be in some of our teeth. There are several reasons why you would want to consider avoiding these. For one, the metal fillings contain mercury and there is a lot of concern over the possibility of health problems that can be caused by these types of fillings. When you have the tooth colored fillings, however, you are using a type of resin and plastic which gives a more natural look and is a lot healthier choice.
