As you sleep, you could be experiencing adverse reactions to the stress of everyday life, such as gritting your teeth or clamping your jaw. This strain can cause your teeth to break, chip, or crack, and you may also experience pain in your jaw the next day and headaches. A custom-crafted night guard can help eliminate these issues. Also, if you have already had your smile enhanced with veneers, crowns, or bridges, Dr. LoSasso may have you wear a night guard to protect your beautiful new smile.
Your old, silver fillings could be a thing of the past. When the decay has been taken out of the tooth, it is replaced with “filling” material. In the past, amalgam (silver) fillings were placed into the cleaned out portion of the tooth. With advancements in dentistry, you can now have tooth-colored fillings instead of silver fillings. You may even elect to remove your old silver fillings in favor of new, undetectable tooth-colored fillings.
Your good dental health is our main concern. Periodontal disease (also called gum disease or gingivitis) refers to the infection of the supportive tissues of the mouth due to toxic bacteria found in plaque. Many individuals suffer from some degree of gum disease, and, if left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth loss, break down of the soft tissue in the mouth and jaw, and other significant health problems. Dr. LoSasso will assess your periodontal health, and if needed, he will conduct the appropriate therapy to restore your gums and supportive tissues.
Your comfort and safety is our ultimate goal. Damage to the nerve tissue inside of a tooth sometimes requires a root canal procedure. Despite the tales you may have heard regarding the procedure, most root canals are minimally uncomfortable, especially compared to the pain and discomfort you may be feeling before the procedure. Dr. LoSasso will take advantage of advances in technology and dental techniques that make root canal procedures more effective while taking less time.
