To keep the replacement tooth firmly in place, the two porcelain crowns are placed over the teeth directly adjoining the space where the replacement tooth will be placed. After the crowns are in place, the porcelain replacement tooth is set in its proper location and attached to &#8211; or &#8220;bridged&#8221; between &#8211; each of the crowns.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to traditional dental bridges, Dr. Potts also offers implant-supported dental bridges. This type of bridge is supported by dental implants, which have been placed surgically within the jaw. Implant-supported dental bridges are much stronger than traditional bridges. They are permanent and left in all day and night.<\/p>\n<p>If you are seeking a replacement for one or more missing teeth, I&#8217;d be happy to help you determine if a dental bridge would be right for you.<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-dentalimplants\" href=\"#tab-2065d3513893732e723\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Dental Implants<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade\" id=\"tab-2065d3513893732e723\">For many generations, removable dentures and fixed bridges were the only options for replacing teeth lost as a result decay, injury or gum disease. Dental implants offer a more comfortable and natural looking alternative. With dental implants, you can go about your life without having to pay any more consideration to your dental implant or implants than you would your natural teeth. Dental implants do not irritate the gums nor interfere with chewing, taste or speech. Unlike removable dentures, dental implants allow you to chew any and all types of foods.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-fullwidth-2  fusion-parallax-none nonhundred-percent-fullwidth\" style=\"border-color:#eae9e9;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-style: solid;border-top-style: solid;padding-bottom:20px;padding-top:20px;padding-left:;padding-right:;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);\"><style type=\"text\/css\" scoped=\"scoped\">.fusion-fullwidth-2 {\n                            padding-left: px !important;\n                            padding-right: px !important;\n                        }<\/style><div class=\"fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-one-third fusion-layout-column fusion-spacing-yes\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h2>Dallas Cosmetic Dentistry.<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"st\" data-hveid=\"80\">A great smile can boost confidence and really change a person&#8217;s outward appearance.\u00a0 A chipped or discolored tooth might not seem like a big deal, until it happens to you or a loved one.\u00a0 We have a variety of options that can not only improve the look of your smile, but the improvements we make will appear natural.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dental Bonding<\/li>\n<li>Veneers<\/li>\n<li>Contouring &amp; Reshaping<\/li>\n<li>Teeth Whitening<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-two-third fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\" style=\"border-bottom:10 px solid #3f3f3f;padding:10px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-table\"><div class=\"fusion-column-tablecell\"><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lnxSqbNgP5w?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-tabs fusion-tabs-2 classic horizontal-tabs\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li a{border-top-color:#ebeaea;background-color:#ebeaea;}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs{background-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li.active a,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li.active a:hover,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li.active a:focus{border-right-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li.active a,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li.active a:hover,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li.active a:focus{background-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs li a:hover{background-color:#ffffff;border-top-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .tab-pane{background-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .nav-tabs,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-2 .tab-content .tab-pane{border-color:#ebeaea;}<\/style><div class=\"nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li class=\"active\"><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-dentalbonding\" href=\"#tab-8c09754409a510a12c5\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Dental Bonding<\/h4><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-veneers\" href=\"#tab-566613172d45cc28814\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Veneers<\/h4><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-teethcontouring&amp;reshaping\" href=\"#tab-ffcedd060c1392eb54a\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Teeth Contouring &amp; Reshaping<\/h4><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-teethwhitening\" href=\"#tab-1a16f8ce5e99b16d177\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Teeth Whitening<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-content\"><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li class=\"active\"><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-dentalbonding\" href=\"#tab-8c09754409a510a12c5\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Dental Bonding<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade in active\" id=\"tab-8c09754409a510a12c5\">Bonding is tooth-colored material used to fill in gaps or change the color of teeth.

If buildup is extensive \u2014 which can result in inflammation of the gum tissue and some bone loss \u2014 a deep cleaning may be required.<\/p>\n<p>Gums and teeth benefit from regular brushing and flossing, but dental plaque and stains build up on tooth surfaces over time.\u00a0 Hard deposits can cause decay and that brushing, rinsing, and flossing alone can\u2019t remove. Professional dental cleanings are one of the simplest preventive measures that can help you maintain and enjoy a lifetime of good oral health.<\/p>\n<p>We understand you are busy, and our staff can determine if more than a basic exam and screening x-rays are necessary, and we can discuss more comprehensive care options and more diagnostics, if needed.<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-screenings\" href=\"#tab-c280cb7316b6c0cdc21\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Screenings<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade\" id=\"tab-c280cb7316b6c0cdc21\">Prevention and education are two of the most important aspects of a successful dental plan. As a part of our advanced dental hygiene services, we have various evaluations for your oral health to help determine your level of risk for diseases like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.\u00a0 Some of the screenings we use to help keep you healthy are:<\/p>\n<h3>Health history screening<\/h3>\n<h3>Oral-Cancer Screening<\/h3>\n<p>An oral cancer examination is fast and painless. We have been specially trained to identify small changes in the tissue of the mouth, lips and tongue that may signify the early stages of this type of cancer. The screening is primarily a visual and tactile (touch) examination. If we note any abnormalities, a small tissue sample can be retrieved for further testing in a laboratory.<\/p>\n<h3>Occlusal &amp; TMJ screening (Bite &amp; Jaw Assessment)<\/h3>\n<p>We not only take care of teeth and gums, we also can ensure the health of your jaw by diagnosing and treating a temporomandibular joint (jaw) disorder. Patients with\u00a0 TMJ misalignment, can suffer facial, jaw, neck, and shoulder pain; earaches; headaches; and jaw clicking and popping; and the inability to fully open or close their mouth.<\/p>\n<h3>Caries Risk Screening<\/h3>\n<p>Tooth decay is typically symptomless until there\u2019s already a cavity or a tooth abscess (an infection at the root of a tooth or in the gums), both of which can lead to pain and tooth loss if left untreated. Prevention of tooth decay is our primary focus in retaining healthy teeth.<\/p>\n<h3>Periodontal Screening<\/h3>\n<p>Research has also shown, and experts agree, that there is an association between periodontal disease and other chronic inflammatory conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is very important to treat the inflammation that causes periodontal disease as soon as possible to ensure that your entire body stays healthy.<\/p>\n<p>When Dr. Potts or our professional dental hygienist performs this evaluation, we will look at these six areas to determine the state of your periodontal health: Teeth, plaque, gums, bite, bone structure and risk factors.<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" id=\"fusion-tab-advancedtreatmentsandproducts\" href=\"#tab-6a0ff676aa11779f014\" data-toggle=\"tab\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Advanced Treatments and Products<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade\" id=\"tab-6a0ff676aa11779f014\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>X-Rays and Panoramic X-Rays<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because teeth are bones, they are much easier to diagnose with the use of X-Rays. We digital x-rays and also use of Panoramic X-Rays that give us a picture of the entire jaw.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bite Guard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bite guards, also called night guards or Occlusal splints, help protect teeth at night from clenched jaws and teeth grinding. Custom-made guards are also great for protecting fillings, crowns, bridges and implants. We can find you the right bite guard to prevent these problems from leading to rapid teeth wear and headaches.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":86,"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":609,"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions\/609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinpottsdentist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
