The Needs of Seniors for their Dental Care Just as needs for our bodies change as we age, so too, our teeth and gums have more specific needs. With regular check-ups we can take care of problems in the earliest stages.
Over time, fillings may crack or leak, allowing decay to set in. Certain medications reduce saliva flow, which is necessary for oral health. Teeth may have lost their luster due to years of drinking caffeine or smoking tobacco. And gum and root disease are frequent problems in seniors that require immediate attention. We continue to emphasize the importance of daily healthy nutrition and proper hygiene. If gums start to bleed or a tooth becomes loose, please contact us immediately. Sheboygan Dental Care Robert W.

In the past, the solution to a tooth that had infected or damaged roots was to remove it. It is now known that it is better to save the tooth to avoid other problems. Root canal therapy is the best solution for this condition.
With today’s technology and anesthetics, this procedure is much easier for patients. The pulp in the interior of the tooth is removed and replaced with a specific filling. This saves and strengthens the tooth. Sometimes, to give added strength and full functionality, a crown is placed over the tooth.
Dr. Schoenenberger is very experienced with the latest procedures in this treatment. What do patients say about it? They receive positive results in keeping the tooth from a procedure of little or no pain. Sheboygan Dental Care Robert W.

Implants Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

Braces While orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or invisible braces,î or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth. The above article is from: MouthHealthy.org Sheboygan Dental Care Robert W.

Filling Choices to Fit Every Need For years, the silver-mercury amalgam has been the standard filling material used in dental practices. They are effective, affordable, and covered by insurance in most situations. Our practice also offers modern, state-of-the-art restorations that are a natural looking white, contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth. The biggest reason many of our patients are choosing the white bonded fillings has to do with the way they look—nearly invisible, compared to the metal filling. They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of the tooth to decrease the chance of future decay. We are proud to offer both alternatives, and will be happy to discuss which option is best for you. Sheboygan Dental Care Robert W.

Bonding Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or “bonds” materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.

A Crown May Be Necessary Sometimes a tooth is too worn down or broken or damaged to return to full functionality with a simple filling. Instead, a crown will be the right solution to restore it and even give it added strength. We use the best dental materials to make your crown. They look so natural, they will blend in with the rest of your teeth. Sheboygan Dental Care Robert W. Schoenenberger, DDS 2202 Indiana Avenue Sheboygan, WI 53081 (920) 452-8042 DentistSheboygan.com
