Preventing dental health issues starts with good oral hygiene habits, but it doesn’t end there. Routine visits to the dentist every six months should also be a part of your regimen, because this ensures that every surface of every tooth is cleaned and inspected for small issues that can become bigger problems.

Dr. Charles Ariza is an experienced restorative dentists in Woodhaven, so you can rest assured that the results of your treatment will feel natural and look beautiful.

Nearly half of American adults are suffering from gum disease, and many are not even aware of the seriousness of their condition. Gum disease is the leading cause of premature tooth loss in adults, and this condition can become irreversible without early intervention from a dentist. Contact Woodhaven Smiles to get help if you think you may have gum disease.

Clear Aligners (Suresmile) is one of the latest advancements in orthodontics and allows patients to straighten their teeth without the highly visible treatment of traditional braces. Instead of the wire-and-bracket system, Suresmile uses a series of clear plastic aligners that shift teeth into proper position over time. If you have orthodontic issues, call us today to schedule a consultation to see if this revolutionary option is right for you.

The most common reason for tooth extractions is problematic wisdom teeth, though a patient may need to have a tooth removed if it is severely infected or damaged and cannot be restored with root canal therapy. If you have a wisdom tooth that is posing a threat to the rest of your teeth such as overcrowding or impaction, removal may be necessary to avoid infection and other dental health issues.

10

Root canals are a relatively simple procedure involving one to three office visits. Best of all, having a root canal when necessary can save your tooth and your smile! When a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp tissue and germs can cause an infection inside the tooth. If left untreated, an abscess may form. If the infected tissue is not removed, pain and swelling can result. This can not only injure your jawbones, but it is detrimental to your overall health. Without the proper treatment, your tooth may have to be removed.

Dentures

Dentures are a great option if you need to restore your smile while waiting to get a dental implant, or if dental implants are not the right option for you. There are a few different types of dentures available.
