Common Myths about Plymouth Family Cosmetic Dentistry

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Common Myths about Plymouth Family Cosmetic Dentistry Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many so-called Minneapolis cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. St. Paul dental procedures such as tooth replacement are smile-enhancing and, more importantly, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Maple Grove Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges are an Plymouth dental cosmetic procedure that have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages for Twin Cities dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Minnesota tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Maple Grove Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution

At Boger Dental, we offer our Minneapolis dental patients teeth whitening treatments that provide a much greater level of whiteness than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide optimum results and can often lead to uneven coloring.

Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 763-546-7707 to set up an appointment so we can determine the best solution for you.

Myth #5: St. Paul Braces are the Only Way to Straighten Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Minneapolis teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, DURAthin veneers can reshape your teeth and dramatically improve your smile. And the best thing about veneers? They offer instant results!

Enhancing Lives & Smiles

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

Cosmetic Dentistry Options Have you thought about upgrading your smile? Cosmetic dentistry offers many exciting possibilities.

The quickest and least invasive procedure is light teeth whitening. The results are dramatic and teeth whitening side effects are minimal.

If your teeth are slightly crooked, but require no orthodontic work, porcelain veneers could be the answer. Porcelain teeth veneers are translucent, wafer-thin covers that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, correcting chips and stains. Prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth structure.

If your teeth are more than slightly crooked, it’s not too late for braces. Patients of all ages are undergoing orthodontic treatment and achieving fantastic results. The newest braces are less noticeable, more comfortable and bring teeth into alignment much faster than old-school metal braces.

Has gum recession caused the metal base of an old crown to be visible? Soft tissue grafts and crown replacement can correct this problem.

Are you missing one or more teeth? One of the best tooth replacement options is a dental implant. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Can you envision yourself with a dental makeover?
Call Boger Dental at 763-546-7707 to discuss your cosmetic dentistry options.

How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Plymouth

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Plymouth If you are one of the many Plymouth denture wearers, you know that they are not the ideal solution for missing teeth.

The problems with dentures include slipping, gum irritation, trouble eating and talking, bone loss, and inability to taste food due to a covered palate. Clearly, dentures do not feel and function like natural teeth.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help you avoid the need for dentures later in your life, but other factors can make dental replacements an inevitability.

The good news? Modern dental implant technology is making dentures a thing of the past.

At Boger Dental we have information and expertise that can help bring hope to Minneapolis denture wearers through dental implant technology. There are a variety of effective denture/implant tooth configurations.

Call Boger Dental at 763-546-7707 to book an implant over-denture consultation with Doctor Drs. Stephen & Chad Boger, & Joseph Madden. We can help you understand your options and can recommend options.

If you currently wear traditional dentures and are not happy with them, implant anchored dentures may dramatically change your life. Your chewing ability will be similar to that of natural teeth and you will be able to eat hard foods again. How about a thick T-bone at your favorite Plymouth steakhouse? In addition to being able to enjoy your meal, you will avoid the embarrassment of having your dentures rattle around in your mouth in public.

Before you pay for another denture reline, ask your Plymouth dentist about the possibility of dental implants. While tooth implants are a significant investment, the dental implant cost is very reasonable when you consider they can last a lifetime.

Attention Plymouth denture wearers: there is life after dentures with tooth implants!

Come see us at Boger Dental at 2720 Annapolis Circle N., Plymouth MN in Plymouth, 55441 for more information about dental implants.

How Mini Dental Implants Can Help Your Smile In 55441

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

How Mini Dental Implants Can Help Your Smile in 55441 We are Drs. Stephen & Chad Boger, and Joseph Madden, dental implant dentists in the 55441 area. In a recent post, we explained how traditional dental implants are used to dramatically improve the lives of my Minneapolis denture and cosmetic dentistry clients. Today’s topic is mini dental implants, sometimes called ‘immediate implants’.

Though they are not as well known as traditional tooth implants, mini implants are also being used successfully to improve smiles. Like their larger diameter counterparts, mini implants can support a restoration for one or more missing teeth or replace a bridge or fixed denture. Twin Cities tooth restoration clients and denture wearers benefit greatly from these slip free dental implants that are anchored securely in the jaw bone.

In some cases, a patient is unable to receive traditional full-size dental implants due to insufficient bone thickness. There are also Minneapolis mini implant patients who are not able to undergo dental implant surgery due to health issues. These Plymouth over-denture patients in the 55441 postal code area are often excellent candidates for the mini version.

The placement of toothpick-size mini dental implants can usually be done in one dental visit. The placement usually requires no incisions or stitches. Recovery time, if necessary, is usually very short. Most patients are able to eat dinner that evening.

Many Plymouth aesthetic dentistry clients are happy to learn that mini implants are a lower cost dental implants option. Don’t let the word ‘mini’ fool you; Your smile can receive a maximum upgrade with mini dental implants.

Call Boger Dental at 763-546-7707 to schedule a consultation.

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Plymouth

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Plymouth If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:

Cost
In the long run, It is less expensive to do it all at once. At Boger Dental in Plymouth, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most Minneapolis residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at 763-546-7707 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.

Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Plymouth dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry
When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss oral sedation dentistry. Many St. Paul and Maple Grove cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. Conscious sedation is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Plymouth

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Plymouth Each separate restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedure performed in Minneapolis can address a specific dental problem. For example, a porcelain veneer can perfect the surface of a tooth that is discolored or slightly misshapen. Dental bonding can fill a small chip in an otherwise healthy tooth.

Some Plymouth dental problems are more extensive and require a combination of procedures. Crown restoration combined with soft tissue grafts can restore a severely decayed tooth with the root exposed. A bone graft and dental implant can restore a missing tooth in an area where the jaw bone has receded. Orthodontia followed by tooth bleaching totally transforms a smile by straightening and whitening.

What is the difference between tooth bleaching and whitening? Whitening is the term for procedures which remove surface stains to restore the degree of natural lightness. Bleaching goes even further by lightening teeth beyond their natural shade. That’s right: you don’t have to resign yourself to yellow teeth even if they have been that way your whole life! The natural shade of your teeth, by the way, like your skin and hair color, is determined by genetics.

Some Plymouth smiles have been gleaming for years by regular whitening. You can maintain the whiteness of your teeth just as you maintain your fitness level. (Of course it is a lot easier to make a quick visit to your Plymouth dentist once a year for whitening touch-ups than sweating in a gym several times a week!)

We live in an age where severe dental problems can be permanently corrected. You don’t have to participate in a TV makeover show in Hollywood to access these premium cosmetic dental procedures. They are available right here in Plymouth, St. Paul and Maple Grove. Drs. Stephen & Chad Boger, & Joseph Madden have the same advanced training and extensive experience as the dentists who keep the smiles of famous actors and musicians camera-ready.

Schedule a consultation at Boger Dental to discover the perfect combination of procedures to achieve your ultimate smile. Our phone number is 763-546-7707.

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Plymouth

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Plymouth Many Plymouth professionals, students and retirees are enjoying the lasting benefits of aesthetic dentistry. A beautiful smile not only looks great, it makes you feel great! When you first look in the mirror in the morning while brushing those gleaming babies, you remember; oh yeah, I fixed my teeth and they look fantastic!

When you smile at old friends or make new ones, you are happy to show off your new movie-star grin. When you are in a professional setting speaking with colleagues or clients, you feel poised and super confident.

We have talked about different cosmetic and restorative dental procedures available in Minneapolis in previous blog articles, but let’s review the most common.

Veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that adhere to teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong and have the translucency of natural teeth. They correct chips, stains and misaligned teeth that do not require orthodontia. There are several companies that fabricate veneers. One of the most well-known brand names is Lumineers.

Crowns correct more extensive tooth problems. They are used in a variety of situations such as the final restoration following a root canal or to restore teeth damaged by decay, injury or periodontal disease.

Dental implants are one of the best fixes for a missing tooth. They are becoming a popular and effective alternative to bridges and partial dentures in Minneapolis-St. Paul and surrounding areas, especially among middle-aged professionals and people in the public eye.

Bridges are another strong, natural looking replacement for one or more missing teeth. They have been used with success for many years.

Professional tooth whitening in your Twin Cities dentist’s office is the least invasive and quickest way to brighten your smile several shades. One of the most popular systems is called Zoom!.

If you are interested in any of these safe and effective procedures, schedule a consultation at Boger Dental today. Even if you are still a bit hesitant, remember: discussing your options with a cosmetic dentist does not require a commitment of any kind. It is merely a relaxed way to get the most reliable information.

We are waiting for your call. Boger Dental can be reached at 763-546-7707.
