Common Myths about Plymouth Family Cosmetic Dentistry

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

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!

Love Your Smile in Plymouth

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Minneapolis men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Boger Dental in Plymouth. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a St. Paul wedding, Maple Grove party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Twin Cities teeth bleaching can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Plymouth cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Maple Grove whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Plymouth tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Minneapolis tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Twin Cities tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching in Plymouth is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Gummy Smile?

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Many Plymouth cosmetic dentistry patients with a gummy smile undergo crown lengthening surgery to bring proper balance and symmetry to their smile. Gum tissue and, in some cases, bone is removed to expose more of the visible part of a tooth. It is a safe procedure that does not affect healthy tooth structure.

A ‘gummy smile’ is a term used to describe a smile with teeth that appear too short because an unusual amount of bone and soft tissue hide part of the crown. Our Plymouth cosmetic dental patients who have opted for crown lengthening love how their new perfect smile looks and feels. Some of our Twin Cities crown lengthening clients also choose teeth whitening for an extra-dazzling smile!

Crown lengthening is not used solely for cosmetic reasons. When a tooth is injured and breaks at the gum line or if a filling or crown comes off a tooth that contains decay, crown lengthening makes additional tooth structure accessible for further restorative work. It is also used to treat some types of periodontal disease.

At Boger Dental, we perform cosmetic and restorative crown lengthening for patients in the Plymouth, St. Paul and Maple Grove area. The surgery can be performed by a general dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon.

If you are interested in crown lengthening or other cosmetic dental procedures and live in the Minneapolis, area, schedule an exam by calling 763-546-7707. We are conveniently located at 2720 Annapolis Circle N., Plymouth MN in Plymouth. When you come in, we can show you before and after photos of Minnesota cosmetic dentistry clients who are enjoying their new smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

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.

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Plymouth, tooth whitening is one of the easiest and rewarding procedures. There are also a lot of tooth whitening options for those of us in the Minneapolis area. How do you find a good tooth whitening procedure in Plymouth?

Visiting your local Plymouth dentist is a good start!

Whitening your teeth is an advanced dental procedure that you won’t want to get wrong on the first try.

Stephen & Chad Boger, & Joseph Madden, and as Plymouth Doctors, we are not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile.

There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our Plymouth dental office.

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Plymouth

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

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.
