What was this year’s 4th of July, or any other party or cookout this summer, like for you?

If you’ve lost any teeth, we can already imagine what it’s like for you during a social gathering.

Your mouth waters at the scent of delicious barbecue ribs and fresh seasonal vegetables on the grill, but your stomach rumbles in agony because you know your bite isn’t strong enough to handle those foods anymore.

And when it comes to chatting it up with friends and family, you likely try to say as little as possible, hold in your laughter, and press your lips tightly together so people won’t see that you have an unhealthy mouth with large empty spaces in your smile.

Don’t suffer this way at your next holiday get-together!

Visit Dr. Lo and our team at Cupertino Family Dental for a full-mouth reconstruction!

Fully Reconstruct Your Smile & Reclaim Your Life!

The reconstructive process is going to differ from patient to patient. What may be necessary for one person to restore their dental health may not be right for you.

Instead, our rehabilitation treatment plan is completely customized to suit your needs best.

Here are some restorative procedures we can pull together for a full-mouth reconstruction in Cupertino, CA:

*Gum Disease Treatment*

We can use a deep cleaning method called scaling and root planing to get under the gums and remove periodontal infection. If you have more advanced gum disease, we can perform noninvasive therapy without cutting and stitching to restore recessed gums and stop the infection from progressing further.

*Replace Teeth With Crowns, Bridges, & Implants*

One of the most common components of a full-mouth reconstruction is teeth replacement, and oftentimes, it requires replacing several teeth or more.

Still, we can use a dental crown with an implant to replace a single tooth or a bridge for several missing teeth.

The goal is to give you a complete set of functional, lifelike teeth so you can feel comfortable when eating and confident when smiling again.

*Dental Implants*

The only way to regain a powerful bite and keep your jawbone strong and healthy for a lifetime is with dental implants.

These titanium posts are placed inside your jaw to replace a missing tooth root so your new tooth on top of it can function as naturally as possible.

Depending on your individual situation, we will determine if your jawbone is strong enough to support a traditional implant, or look to mini implants if too much bone mass has been lost.

Either way, we will thoroughly explore all your dental implant options, whether that’s for one missing tooth or a full arch of replacement teeth, so you can live the way you want!

It doesn’t take much for false information to circulate, gain traction, and motivate people’s behaviors, for better or worse. It’s our job as dentists to address misinformation, especially if we think it’s going to stand in the way of people getting the kind of treatment they need to maintain good oral health.

If our team at Cupertino Family Dental has anything to say about it, we don’t want to let dental myths continue to keep anyone from having the healthy smile they deserve!

3 Dental Myths That Can Get In The Way Of Your Oral Health

Here are three dental myths your Cupertino dentist needs you to know about so they don’t keep you from having a healthy mouth and beautiful smile:

Myth #1 – Bleeding Gums Are Normal

The only possible reason that bleeding gums would be normal is if you were a cage fighter of some sort!

But otherwise, no, your gums aren’t supposed to bleed!

This is one of the most common signs of gum disease, and ignoring it or assuming it’s a normal characteristic of the daily brushing and flossing process would put your oral and overall health at great risk.

If you notice any changes to your gums, in fact, like swelling, redness, or sores, you should contact your Cupertino dentist right away for gum disease treatment.

We will perform scaling and root planing to deeply clean your gums and remove the bad bacteria, and we can continue this therapy routinely over the next several months until your gums have been restored back to health. If your gums have receded more severely, we can also perform a non-invasive surgery to place healthier tissue over those areas that have been damaged by gum disease.

Myth #2 – Only Metal Braces Can Straighten Teeth

This may have been true up until recently, but now, there are so many more orthodontic options available to patients of all ages.

The best part about that is new innovations in orthodontics have led to faster, more discreet treatments like clear aligner braces you can barely see! With ClearCorrect, you have a new set of custom aligners you switch to every couple of weeks that gently, and quickly, move your teeth into the right position. This can be wrapped up in about a year, and all the while, you can remove the aligners so that your orthodontic treatment doesn’t force you to make all kinds of changes to your diet and oral hygiene routine.

Myth #3 – Root Canals Only Put Your Health At Risk

It’s hard to believe that this particular myth has persisted for as long as it has!

But it can be traced back nearly a century to one claim by one doctor who suggested that root canal treatments release toxins into the body and could lead to serious health complications.

Since then, even though decades of research and practical experience hasn’t shown this to be true, people still tend to believe it.

The reality is that root canals actually protect the body from the infection inside your tooth from spreading. We disinfect the inner part of the tooth that’s infected and then seal it up to keep it safe from bacteria in the future.
