Snap-On Smile

Improving your smile can be a huge self-esteem booster. Here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we offer Snap-On Smile for patients who want a brand-new smile with as little effort as a snap!

Snap-On Smile is a brand-new, removable set of teeth that you simply snap into place over your existing teeth. They can improve the look of almost any dental imperfection including discoloration, missing teeth, gaps, and cracks. Depending on your specific needs, Snap-On Smile can be created for both upper and lower teeth.

To begin the process of creating your unique Snap-On Smile, you and your dentist will pick the shade and style for your smile. Impressions are then taken of your teeth so that a dental laboratory can create a Snap-On Smile set that fits you perfectly and allows ideal functionality. The creation process will likely take a few weeks, and upon the completion, you will come back to our office and we will show you how to snap in your brand-new smile.

A huge benefit of Snap-On Smile is that you are able to eat and drink while you wear Snap-On Smile. You can also choose to take out your smile while playing sports or sleeping, so you can protect your smile is not-so-ideal situations. Snap-On Smile should also be taken out to care for your natural teeth, underneath them.

If you are looking for an update to your smile, Snap-On Smile might be ideal for you. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit Cosmetic Dentist Parker, CO for more information.

What are Veneers?

If your teeth showcase some undesirable effects such as being chipped, worn down, or discolored, then you may be a candidate for veneers. Veneers are ultra-thin shells constructed of ceramic (porcelain) or a composite resin material, which are bonded to the front of the teeth. These two types of veneers are able typically fabricated by a dental technician in a laboratory and are placed right here in the Ardas Family Dental office in Parker, CO.

The first step in receiving veneers is scheduling a consultation and discussing with your dentist the result you are trying to achieve. During this appointment, X-rays and impressions may be taken. The procedure itself requires little or no anesthesia and can be the ideal choice for restoring your smile. Once veneers have been applied, for about a week or two, you will go through a period of adjustment as you get used to your new teeth that have changed in size and shape. In the end, your result will be a brand new, confident smile.

If you have questions about veneers, please give us a call. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit Cosmetic Dentist Parker, CO for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call 720- 459-8420.

Crown Lengthening

Occasionally, a patient will come in with excess gum tissue, a condition often referred to as “gummy smile”. Here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we understand that sometimes patients can become self-conscious over “gummy smile” as it makes their teeth appear short. For this reason, and several general dental reasons, we are able to perform a crown lengthening.

Crown lengthening is the process of “lengthening” the crown of a tooth. In actuality, it is actually the process of removing gum tissue. This can be performed for patients with excess gum tissue or in the case where dental work needs to be performed underneath the gumline.

First, your doctor will make incisions to the gums to pull them back. In some cases, this is all that needs to be done to expose more of the teeth. In other cases, the bone tissue there holding the tooth in will also need to be removed. The gums are sterilized and then stitched into place. When a crown lengthening is performed, even if only one tooth needs to be worked on, several teeth in the area will also be lengthened so that the gum line can heal in a natural line.

If you are self-conscious about your “gummy smile” or are in need of dental work below the gumline, trust the professionals here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO. To set up an appointment, call our office at (720) 459-8420 or visit Cosmetic Dentistry, Parker CO. 

Dental Implants

A dental implant is able to last a lifetime, just like a normal tooth can. At Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we offer dental implants as the best tooth replacement option out on the market. Keep reading to learn about dental implants and how they are installed.

Dental implants are the most durable option for a tooth replacement that there is. The titanium implant post is surgically inserted into your bone socket, so it is more stable than a bridge or a denture. Plus, they are able to last a lifetime, so with good care, they will not need to be replaced in the future.

To begin the implant process, your dentist will first make an incision in your gum tissue. This will allow access to the bone socket where the titanium implant post is inserted. The implant post will need several months to heal before a permanent crown can be placed, so a temporary crown will be placed at this time. After the healing period is finished, an abutment is placed on the implant post to serve as the base of your new tooth. Then, your custom crown will be permanently cemented into place.

Dental implants are able to last a lifetime with good dental care. A good oral care routine for home includes brushing two or three times per day and daily flossing. Routine visits to your dentist for cleanings and examinations will also make sure the implant stays in good shape.

If you are looking into tooth replacement options, do not pass over the dental implant. To set up a consultation in our Parker, CO office, call Ardas Family Dental at (720) 459-8420 or visit Family Dentist Parker, CO. 

Benefits of Dentures

At Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we provide dentures to patients who have missing teeth but do not want to undergo an invasive procedure such as dental implants. Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While these mouthpieces might take some getting used to, and will never feel exactly the same as your natural teeth, today’s dentures are natural looking and more comfortable than ever before.

If you’ve lost all of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay, or injury, replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. That’s because dentures make it easier to eat and speak better than you ever could without teeth. There are different types of dentures, but they each type offers the same overall benefits. For example, when you lose all of your teeth, facial muscles can sag, making you appear older than you actually are. Dentures can also improve your appearance and smile, because, without support from the denture, facial muscles can sag, making a person look older. If you already have dentures, be sure that you are taking proper care of them.

If you are missing teeth and would like to discuss your treatment options, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at our practice, visit Medicaid Dentist Parker, CO . To schedule an appointment at Ardas Family Dental, call our Parker, CO office at (720) 459-8420. 

How Night Guards Can Help You

Grinding your teeth can wear down enamel and cause jaw pain. Unfortunately, many people who grind their teeth do not know they do it because it happens while they are sleeping. Here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we can diagnose night grinding and offer patients a night guard to protect their teeth from further damage.

Night grinding can create painful and sensitive teeth, jaw pain, facial pain, and even tooth damage. Because the enamel is worn down, it can make teeth prone to cavities. Night grinding may also lead to TMJ dysfunction.

To protect the teeth from damage and to cushion the jaw and facial structures, we can provide our patients with a night guard. A night guard is a mouthpiece worn while you sleep. It creates a barrier between the top and bottom teeth; creating a protective cushion. For night grinders, a night guard is essential to maintain oral health and relieve pain.

If you have been told you grind your teeth or if you are waking up with a sore jaw, night guards may be what you need to protect your teeth. To schedule an appointment at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call us at (720) 459-8420 or visit, Family Dentist Parker, CO. 

Lumineers for a Brand-New Smile

While there are many reasons why someone may be unhappy with their smile, there is a cosmetic option that can work for all of those reasons. Here at Ardas Family Dental, we offer Lumineers to give patients a brand-new smile, no matter what types of imperfections are present.

It’s always nice to be prepared for an event or a picture with a great-looking smile you can be proud of. Dental imperfections like gaps, cracks, misalignments, discoloration and more can affect how you feel about your smile and whether or not you show it off. Fortunately, Lumineers are able to fix the look of dental issues like these and more.

Lumineers are very thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are permanent, so you are able to eat and use them just like normal teeth. They are, however, able to be completely reversed if that is a desire in the future. Lumineers are stain-resistant and strong. If you take care of them, they are able to look good and last for over twenty years!

Lumineers are completely customized, so we begin by taking an impression of your teeth. We send these impressions, along with pictures and info, to a dental laboratory where your custom Lumineers are created. When ready, your teeth are only lightly etched to aid a strong bond and the Lumineers are bonded into place.

If you desire a brand-new and long-lasting smile, Lumineers might be what you desire. To schedule a consultation with Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call us at (720) 459-8420 or visit Lumineers, CO.
