Advances in modern dentistry now enable you to get the smile you have always desired. Using the latest techniques and dental materials, your dentist can alter the alignment, shape, color, contour and size of your teeth. We use techniques such as veneers, orthodontics, bleaching, bonding and inlays to transform your smile.

Discolored or stained natural teeth that have not undergone root canal treatment can be bleached. The result is a bright, fresh smile.

Chipped, discolored, misaligned or chipped teeth can be rebuilt using dental bonding techniques. During this process, we rebuild the surface of your teeth using porcelain or plastic materials.

Discoloration, misalignment or damages can be repaired using porcelain laminate veneers. The individually-made shells look and feel just like natural teeth.

Inlays and onlays are used to restore the back teeth's chewing surfaces. These tooth-colored restorations are often used to replace existing silver fillings.

Both children and adults can benefit from orthodontics. Using orthodontic procedures, we can correct bite problems and restore misaligned or crowded teeth.

Through these techniques, we can boost both the health and appearance of your smile. With proper care, your results can last a lifetime.

Your smile plays a big role in how confident you feel, and at Upland Dental Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art treatments and procedures to help you have a great-looking smile without the need for invasive surgery

Porcelain Veneers

Over time, teeth can become chipped, cracked or stained, detracting from your appearance and making you feel less confidence. Porcelain veneers address all these issues, and they can even help fill in gaps and correct the appearance of crooked, uneven or misaligned teeth so your smile looks beautiful and healthy.

Veneers are thin “covers” that are carefully bonded to the surfaces of your teeth, covering a wide range of defects. Today's veneers are strong, and they can be custom tinted to match your surrounding teeth for a completely natural-looking result. At Upland Dental Clinic, our cosmetic dentists are skilled in the use of veneers and in helping patients get the effect of a smile “makeover” without the need for prolonged or invasive treatments.

Lumineers

Lumineers represent the next generation of porcelain veneers, designed to provide the benefits of traditional veneers but using a thinner profile that doesn't require teeth to be shaped before application. Instead, teeth are lightly etched using a special solution to enable a stronger bond between the Lumineer and the tooth surface. Once attached, Lumineers are “set” with a special curing light. Because the Lumineer procedure doesn't require extensive tooth shaving or reshaping, the process also is completely reversible.

All it takes is two visits – one for the impressions to be made and one to apply the Lumineers – for a brighter, healthier-looking smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, or caps, provide strength for a weakened tooth by surrounding the tooth with a hard shell that's designed to withstand the pressures and stresses of regular use. In addition to improving tooth strength, crowns also help damaged teeth look better, and they're commonly used in bridge procedures to “shore up” the teeth that will be used to support the bridge.

Bridges

Bridges are dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. Bridges typically consist of one or more replacement teeth attached to a supportive framework, which in turn is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. These teeth are usually reinforced with crowns so they aren't weakened by the bridge over time. At Upland Dental Clinic, each bridge is custom-crafted for your mouth to improve your appearance and your bite functionality.

Laser Teeth Whitening

Few features are as attractive as a healthy-looking, white smile. In fact, a study conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) found people with attractive smiles are perceived as being more successful and better-looking overall. Teeth whitening or bleaching has grown in popularity over the years as men and women look for ways to improve the way their smiles look. At Upland Dental Clinic, we offer laser teeth whitening treatments so patients can see results faster than ever before. During this simple, safe procedure, a special whitening gel is applied to your teeth and then a bright, focused beam of light is used to activate the solution so it removes stains and leaves teeth looking white. Plus, we offer our established patients a complimentary “whitening for life” program so they can perform effortless touch-ups to keep their smiles looking their whitest between visits.

If you're considering having your teeth whitened, making an appointment to have your teeth evaluated is the first step. Bear in mind that if you have older restorations like crowns, veneers or fillings, they may not respond to newer whitening treatments. Let us evaluate your smile so we can help you get the results you want. We can even replace old restorations with newer materials so your smile looks healthier and more youthful.

Upland Cosmetic Dentist

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Traditional dentistry and general dentistry focuses primarily on preventing oral disease, diagnosing and treating problems, and oral hygiene in general. Cosmetic dentistry is more focused on improving appearance through straightening and whitening a person's teeth. This is more easily understood in a statement that general dentistry addresses necessary treatments while cosmetic dentistry addresses elective treatments.

One thing that is often overlooked is that cosmetic dentistry also has the ability to provide restorative benefits. What we mean by this is examples like fillings which are common in general dentistry procedure used to treat decayed or rotting teeth. In the past dental fillings or primarily composed of materials that would cause dark spots to be present on the teeth. Today, however many dentists utilize procedures for doing dental fillings that are far more into the cosmetic dentistry field then general do the fact that they're made of porcelain or other composite materials that closely match the natural appearance and color of your teeth. Today, many people are choosing to have their old fillings replaced with the newer versions thus improving their oral appearance.

Due to new technologies and advancement spend the bonding materials that dentists have to work with, dental treatments are far more natural looking and far more durable than they were in the past. Another technological breakthrough is the ability for dentists to use more cosmetic procedures to save more of the original tooth material and structure as possible. Complete smile makeovers and full restorations of teeth are far more able to be completed without being sent to a specialist, thus reducing the invasive nature of the procedure and speeding up recovery time.

Different types of cosmetic dentistry treatments that most people would want to consider are things like the following:

Inlays/Onlays: These are also known as indirect fillings, and they are made from porcelain or other long lasting composite materials as a way to provide a complete filling in a situation which has reduced the tooth to a previously unsalvageable level. Different from traditional fillings which are put into the teeth at the time of the dental visit, onlays and inlays are constructed in the laboratory and are then bonded permanently into place by the dentist.

Composite Bonding: When your teeth are broken, discolored, chipped or decaying, it is possible to have them repaired and their appearance corrected with a new procedure called composite bonding. This procedure involves a specialized material made of enamel and dentin being applied to the cavity and surface of the tooth, where it is then sculpted into shape and then cured with a high intensity light. This procedure results in a total restoration of the tooth, which blends complete invisibility and healthy to the structure to create a perfect match with the surrounding teeth.

Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is probably the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in this day and age. Because people's teeth are so often stained through smoking, drinking dark liquids like soda, tea, or red wine, it has of becoming a very popular procedure in order to get whiter teeth. The process involves painting a bleach directly onto the teeth than applying a specialized light to the bleach to accelerate the process. Branded processes like of Zoom! utilize special techniques which allow the whitening to take place in a far shorter time frame than home whitening kits.

Dental Veneers: Dental veneers assist and correcting the appearance of severe tooth discoloration or gaps. Additionally, veneers are sometimes utilized if teeth whitening is not an option. The procedure involves slightly shaving down the enamel on the surface of the tooth then bonding a thin manufactured artificial to surface on top.

Smile Makeovers: A smile makeover usually involves a complete comprehensive assessment of your smile in order to improve the overall appearance. Usually a complete smile makeover will involve a combination of several dental procedures such as implants, teeth whitening, sculpting, or veneers. Usually these procedures will be applied to multiple upper and lower teeth in order to achieve a perfect balanced smile.

Full Restoration: the most comprehensive cosmetic procedure of available is a full mouth reconstruction. This process is essentially a step beyond a smile makeover in that there may be an additional functional problems which need to be accomplished in order to assist in the bite, alignment, or bone structure around the teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry has many different aspects which can assist people in achieving the smile they had always wanted. If there are aspects of your smile that you would like to change feel free to consult Upland Dental Clinic to assist you in the process.

TEETH WHITENING

A popular cosmetic dental procedure known for its safety is teeth whitening. The tooth whitening procedure is extremely effective on teeth that have been discolored. However, darker stains caused by prescriptive medicines such as antibiotics can be more of a challenge to lighten. Results can vary and depend on the patient and the build of the teeth.

An in-office whitening system that will enhance your teeth in just 45 minutes is “The Zoom.” The procedure is easy and starts with a quick preparation that covers the lips and gums and leaves your teeth visible. The dentist uses a prepared whitening gel that was designed specifically for usage with a special light. The light and gel work in tandem to penetrate the patient’s teeth and combat tough stains and discolorations. With the right amount of care, you can enjoy a beautiful smile for many years to come.

Upland Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges Information from Upland Dental Clinic

Sometimes teeth are lost due to disease or injury. Extra spaces between teeth can cause the remaining teeth to shift out of place. This can trigger cosmetic and functional issues. A bridge can help avoid problems such as jaw discomfort and gum disease. This device attaches replacement teeth to the remaining teeth on either side of the empty space. Sometimes this is referred to as a partial denture.

To prepare the mouth for a bridge the teeth on either side are altered, usually with crowns. After this has been accomplished a temporary bridge is attached. On the final visit the permanent bridge is adjusted to fit and cemented firmly into place.

Bad Breath Remedies

Bad Breath Prevention from Upland Dental Clinic

People with bad breath (or halitosis), may have difficulty combating this disorder. Various products on the market, like breath spray, mouthwash, and gum, claim to lower bad breath. However, most sufferers realize that these items only serve to mask the smell. While some mouth rinses work well to remove plaque buildup and decrease the risk of cavities, most over-the-counter mouthwashes do nothing to combat the actual cause of bad breath.

Speak with your dentist about your issues with bad breath. He or she should be able to help you to better understand why you have this issue and how to resolve it. Some possible solutions may be:

Improve Oral Hygiene

Nearly everyone knows that you should brush your teeth at least twice each day. Those with bad breath may increase brushing to occur after each meal. Flossing is also vital. Flossing removes food particles that brushing does not. These food particles, if left in the mouth, can cause bad breath thanks to an overgrowth of bacteria. Also, many people forget to brush their tongue, which can host bacteria if not cleaned daily. Excellent oral hygiene can improve many cases of bad breath.

Treat Dry Mouth

Otherwise known as Xerostomia, dry mouth is a very common condition. Though dry mouth is most commonly seen as a side effect to certain medications, there are many instances in which a reason for Xerostomia is unknown. To improve dry mouth, you may need to drink more liquids, use saliva stimulants, or use saliva substitutes. Your dentist will be able to help you decide what is best for you.

Change in Diet

Bad breath is not always a direct cause of that spicy curry dish you had for lunch. Though food particles can become stuck in your teeth and cause an immediate bad odor after a pungent meal, repeated ingestion of certain foods can cause long-lasting halitosis. These foods can become absorbed by your body, including your lungs. As you breathe out, the residual smell from the food is released into the air. The good news is that once the food has completely evacuated the body, the smell should be gone as well. The bad news is that each time this food is eaten, the process starts over again. You can work to pinpoint which foods may be causing the bad breath, and then eliminate them from your diet.

Stop Tobacco Use

Everyone knows that using tobacco is one of the most dangerous things you can do to your body. Tobacco users increase their risk for stroke, heart disease, oral cancer, and countless other diseases and disorders. Of course, tobacco also causes bad breath. Your dentist can help you learn how to stop using this deadly substance.

In some instances, bad breath caused by underlying medical problems. After a thorough examination, your dentist may refer you to another physician who can explore other reasons for your chronic halitosis.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Periodontal disease, or Gum disease, is a broad term that encompasses several periodontal issues. The first indication is usually pain or swelling of the gum area near the teeth. Bleeding sometimes occurs after brushing and flossing. Gum disease can be caused by a buildup of plaque, physical health issues, or genetic predisposition.

Gingivitis is the mildest form of gum disease. If treated promptly there will be no permanent damage to the teeth or gums. Periodontitis can occur when gingivitis is not treated appropriately. In this stage the gums become infected and pull away from the teeth. This can cause loose teeth and bone damage. The most serious stage of gum disease is acute periodontitis. Patients may notice breath odor, infection risks increase, and there is often loss of teeth.

Gum disease is a serious health risk so the gum area is checked at each preventative visit. Treatment can be as simple as dental cleaning, flossing, and using a medicated mouth rinse. In advanced cases medication or gum surgery may be indicated.

Nobody gets excited to visit the dentist, especially kids, but here at Riverside Dental Center, we guarantee to make each experience better than the last for parents and their children. You can have peace of mind knowing that our professional, dedicated team of doctors take the necessary steps to make sure children get the care that they deserve.

After the first exam is completed, the parent of the child will meet with the doctor to talk about the condition of their child’s oral health. If there is any advanced work that needs to be done, the doctor will explain the options. In many cases, the necessary services can be completed the very same day.

The staff at the Riverside Dental Center is skilled in using behavioral management techniques that are effective in creating an enjoyable experience for children and parents. Before beginning any procedure, the doctors carefully explain and illustrate what is going to happen.

If an operative procedure is needed, topical anesthesia will be applied to your child’s teeth and gums to numb them for pain prevention. If extensive treatment is needed, pediatric dental specialists are on hand to provide outpatient hospital care.

At the conclusion of the appointment, the parents will sit down with our coordinators to receive a full description of the completed procedure, after care directions, and prescriptions if necessary. The coordinators will also answer any questions that the parent has.
