If you are interested in bleaching your teeth, the dentist should give you several options. The easiest and least expensive is to go with an over the counter product like Crest White Strips. These do work, although it takes a week or two. The second option would be an in-office alternative like Zoom! It works great in about an hour. The price can range from $300 to $500 dollars. The last option is cosmetic dentistry, such as dental veneers. These look incredible, but cost can be very high. Check with your dentist office to see which option is best for you.

It's back to school time! That typically means a trip to the dentist office for a check-up. Most kids need an exam and cleaning prior to school starting. You might also consider things like fluoride and dental sealants. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

There are many dental care products on the market today. The favorite toothbrush at Comfort Dental of Anderson is the Sonicare by Phillips. This brush is equipped with a two minute timer. The Sonicare brush can do in two minutes what it would take you to do in four or six minutes with a manual toothbrush.

"The only thing that warms the heart as much as a beautiful song is a beautiful smile" ---Garth Brooks
Everyone is looking for the perfect smile. One of the most common cosmetic dental procedures done today is teeth whitening. Before bleaching your teeth, you should consult your dentist to see if you are a good candidate. There are many reasons for stained or discolored teeth. Some of those are genetics, trauma,external staining, aging or medications. If you have existing restorations or veneers or crowns, you may need to replace those to get a nice match to your new whiter shade. You should have your teeth examined first by a dentist to see what kind of dental whitening will work best for you. For more info on dental whitening go to www.discusdental.com to look at our new in office Zoom Whitening.

There are many positives to Dental Implants. Dental implants are the most similar to natural teeth. They can be placed without altering or grinding down adjacent teeth. Implants also prevent shrinkage of the jawbone caused by tooth loss. The biggest downside to dental implants is that they are more expensive than other options although in my experience, nearly 100% of patients agree that they are worth it.
For more on dental implants goto www.ada.org or www.biohorizons.com. If you think you are a candidate for implants, contact Comfort Dental of Anderson at 765-642-9811.

Dentists have been doing bridges for many decades. They have filled the spaces, but they have also had to carve down the adjacent teeth to do so. The dental patient then has to floss and clean around and under the bridge. If the dental patient has enough bone for a dental implant it is clearly the best option. The dental patient can maintain the implant tooth like he would a normal tooth. The adjacent teeth also remain intact. If I had the choice between a implant and a bridge, I would pick the implant.

We had a discussion at the dental office today about cosmetic dentistry. The question that was posed was to decide what procedure we considered to be the "most" cosmetic. Some of the staff said veneers, some said teeth whitening, but I stated that dentures were possibly the highest form of cosmetic dentistry. Think about it, after severe decay, dental infection, gum disease, trauma,......fabricating a denture gives the dental patient a whole new smile! So I still contend that dentistry's ultimate form of cosmetic dentistry may be dentures..........and maybe some dental implants to hold them in!

Today having a brite smile is EASY! Go to the dentist and ask for cosmetic teeth whitening. The most conservative form of cosmetic dentistry is tooth whitening. One short hour at the dental office can yield up to 8 shades of whitening. At Comfort Dental, www.yousleepwework.com, we use the Zoom 2 teeth whitening system. We believe it is simply the BEST! Give it a try.

How many times a day does the family dentist hear this? This one statement shows that Americans are brought up learning that going to the dental office is a "bad" experience. At Comfort Dental, we strive to end that learned fear as quickly as possible. We try to make each visit to the dental office as uneventful as possible. With advances in sedation dentistry, even the most fearful dental patients can enjoy their trip for dental care. From laughing gas to oral sedation to general anesthesia, sedation dentistry can be the right move for every patient. Whether it is tooth whitening or wisdomn tooth removal, you don't have to "hate" the dentist anymore.

Historically, sedation for dental care has been reserved for the most extreme cases. Today, we are able to safely use oral sedatives in a controlled environment for the majority of our adult patients. This enablels our apprehensive patients to receive long neglected dental care. These patients will typically take an oral medication for sedation one hour prior to there dental appointment. They will be accompanied by a responsible party to bring them to the dental office as well as take them home. The patient will have a very comfortable experience whether they are having implants or wisdom teeth extraction.

Can you believe that in Anderson, Indiana you can visit the dentist and get the latest cosmetic dental procedures? Yes, its true. At Comfort Dental you can get the popular Lumineers. Lumineers are the ultra thin porcelain veneers which are the cosmetic dentistry buzz word in every dental office around the country. The procedure can usually be completed with no numbing and no drilling, although some patients choose sedation dentistry to get through the dental visit. For more information on Lumineers please visit http://www.cerinate.com/html/what_are/index.html

New patients come in every day with neglected teeth. The most common reason for neglecting there teeth is the fear of the dental injection. We have listened to the concerns of our patients at our dental office, and have developed many techniques to make our patients comfortable. From routine dental care to wisdom tooth extractions, we can now make patients feel at ease. We offer traditional local anesthesia, nitrous oxide , oral and IV sedation. Come visit our dental office and see how we can make you comfortable for your next dental visit.

Many of my dental patients select laughing gas as a form of sedation dentistry. It rarely makes a patient laugh, contrary to the name. The nitrous oxide usually makes the dental appointment very calm. My dental patient who use laughing gas typically use it for all appointments from teeth whitening to dental implants. It is also the most affordable.

At Comfort Dental of Anderson, we offer sedation services for many different situations. The majority of our patients select oral sedation, however, a growing number of patients are selecting IV Sedation or even General Anesthesia, both offered by an anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist comes into the office on an as-needed basis. If a patient requests IV or General Anesthesia, then the doctor is contacted. The doctor will need a complete medical history as well as a consultation with your primary care physician if you have a complicated medical history. IV Sedation is an excellent choice for dental procedures such as dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, cosmetic dentistry and any comprehensive dental surgery. Sedation dentistry makes going to the dental office for dental care a piece of cake! If you have any questions regarding sedation dentistry, feel free to contact our dental office at drdean@yousleepwework.com.

Many patients come into our dental office to learn about lower denture retention via dental implants. We have been performing this dental surgery procedure for a few years now. It is very predictable and the dental patient loves it. The whole dental office is excited for the patient when they make the decision to have the dental implants. It is a life changing day for the patient when we are able to lock their denture onto the dental implants.

Our morning patient was concerned about having his wisdom teeth removed. The patient thought he would be too nervous to sit through the dental surgery appointment. I recommended sedation dentistry for his concerns. The dental patient was given a single pill to place under his tongue. The tasteless medicine soon dissolved and the patient was prepared for his dental surgery appointment. He was able to relax and tolerated the dental care very well. After the removal of the wisdom teeth, the patient asked when we would start the dental procedure! He didn't realize that we were already done! Sedation dental care makes going to the dentist a whole lot easier!
