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.

Educating Plymouth Dental Patients About Little-Known Risks Hi, we are Drs. Stephen & Chad Boger, & Joseph Madden, DDS. Most every day, we can be found at our Minneapolis area dental office treating dental patients with tooth and gum problems or helping patients prevent them. There are many common medical conditions that pose a risk to oral health.

1) Plymouth diabetes patients with high blood glucose often have a higher risk of dental issues. If you have diabetes, let’s talk. Our number is 763-546-7707.

2) A persistent dry mouth due to an inadequate amount of saliva can accelerate tooth decay, cause or contribute to gum disease, and trigger chronic bad breath. Many medications used by thousands of Minneapolis folks, including those for high-blood pressure and depression, cause dry mouth. This side effect is not only unpleasant, it is dangerous. Anti-depressants (especially SSRI’s) and anti-psychotic drugs can also trigger tooth-grinding (bruxism).

3) Acid reflux in children and adults is associated with a host of dental problems such as decay and periodontal disease.

We help many Twin Cities dental patients prevent problems associated with medical conditions that sometimes seem unrelated to dental health. Regular professional dental care is essential for oral health, and an important part of your overall physical health.

Dental Care for Children in Plymouth

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Children’s Dental in Plymouth For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised Minneapolis parents to begin children’s dentist visits before the third birthday. The AAP now advises  parents to take their toddler to a Minnesota dentist before their first birthday, or about six months after their first tooth appears.

Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention! Sadly, dentists find advanced tooth decay in very young children.

High-risk children should be seen as early as possible. Following are some of the risk factors:

  • Sleeping with a bottle
  • Drinking juice continually during the day
  • Abnormal tooth development
  • Thumb sucking
  • Tooth grinding
  • A mother with significant tooth decay
  • Other health problems

To talk to us about pediatric dentistry, call 763-546-7707. Doctor Drs. Stephen & Chad Boger, & Joseph Madden at Boger Dental can advise you on your next steps for your pediatric dentistry. We also pamper busy Plymouth parents who come to Boger Dental for general and cosmetic dentistry. If you are between the ages of 20 and 80, we would love to provide you with the most advanced dental care in Plymouth.

Keeping Bones Strong in Plymouth

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Boger Dental There is a tooth connection that links osteoporosis and oral health. If you are a woman, you have probably heard about the high rate of osteoporosis in America. The state of Minnesota is no exception. Osteoporosis can often progress without any outward symptoms. However, there may be clues in a person’s mouth that indicate compromised bones in the rest of the body.

The following dental and periodontal issues could indicate the presence of osteoporosis:

  • Gum detachment
  • Ill-fitting dentures
  • Jaw bone recession and erosion
  • Difficulty with ordinary mouth function such as eating or speaking

There are many Minneapolis dental professionals that can determine the presence of bone deterioration with x-rays and other diagnostic tools. If we suspect the possibility of osteoporosis, we can refer you to a local medical professional.

The experienced dentists at Boger Dental are trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the oral health problems sometimes associated with osteoporosis. Schedule a consultation in Plymouth by calling 763-546-7707 and we can discuss your dental concerns. While you are here, we can also tell you about the cosmetic dental services we provide. Aesthetic dentistry continues to improve smiles for our friends and neighbors in the Minneapolis area.

If you suspect you may be suffering from osteoporosis, please see your physician right away. While your dentist can help identify some of the symptoms associated with osteoporosis, you should not rely on your dentist to provide a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Saving Teeth in Plymouth

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Root Canals in Plymouth When a tooth is threatened by severe decay, periodontal disease, or damage from an injury, a skilled Plymouth dentist or endodontist must make a judgment call concerning the course of treatment. If the pulp of the tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth.

Boger Dental: 763-546-7707

During a root canal procedure (or endodontic treatment) the soft tissue in the root of the tooth is removed. This tissue contains veins, arteries and lymph vessels. Once the roots are cleaned out and widened, they are filled with a special rubber material. The root canal is only the first step in the complete tooth restoration. After the root canal, without a crown, the tooth will become dry and brittle. The final steps are the core build up and crown.

At Boger Dental, we fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with the surrounding teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to a Minneapolis dentist, a tooth with a filled root can often function problem-free for the rest of a patient’s life.

We are  Drs. Stephen & Chad Boger, and Joseph Madden DDS of Boger Dental. Boger Dental has been providing excellent dental care since 1978. During that time we have seen hundreds of teeth saved by this effective dental procedure. Root canal therapy at Boger Dental in Plymouth has a very high success rate.

Because teeth with infected pulp tissue often cause no symptoms, it is important to have regular dental examinations. I can determine which (if any) teeth have infected roots. If the infection in the soft pulp tissue is left untreated, it can progress to a point where the tooth cannot be saved. Is it time for a thorough dental exam? Call our office at 763-546-7707.

Call Boger Dental immediately if one of your teeth is screaming for attention!

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.

Protecting Your Plymouth Athlete’s Teeth

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Protecting Your Plymouth Athlete's Teeth Do you have a son or daughter that plays Plymouth youth sports? Soccer, baseball, football, basketball and gymnastics can be very dangerous to your child’s teeth. Football is a violent contact sport, yet there is a relatively low rate of tooth injuries that occur in football as compared to other contact sports. Why? Football players are required to wear a mouth guard and a helmet.

Inexpensive athletic dental mouth guards are worth their weight in gold!

If your child participates in a contact sport in Plymouth, Minnesota and does not currently wear a tooth protection device, you may want to purchase an appropriately-sized mouth guard. They are available at most athletic supply stores.

At Boger Dental in Plymouth, Minnesota, we care about your child’s health and safety. To discuss your child’s dental condition or to learn more about sports-related tooth injury prevention, call us at 763-546-7707. We have been keeping Minneapolis smiles healthy since 1978. Our child-friendly staff pampers our youngest dental patients. Let us show you why we are not an ordinary Plymouth dental practice.

Monday, September 7th, 2009

A smile takes but a moment, but the memory of it lasts forever. You can make Creating Memorable Smiles at Colin Yoshida DDSyour smile memorable and beautiful with a smile makeover at Boger Dental in Plymouth.

Cosmetic dentistry is a broad term that specifies dentistry with an emphasis on aesthetics. Cosmetic dentists perform general dental procedures in addition to providing advanced cosmetic dental treatments. Minneapolis cosmetic dentists have specialized training in the latest cosmetic dental procedures and techniques.

The Cosmetic Dentists at Boger Dental are knowledgeable about the processes used to fabricate crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, braces and dental implants. Advances in ceramic and composite materials have boosted the popularity of  cosmetic dentistry but these miracle materials are worthless without a skilled cosmetic dentist to incorporate them into a healthy and beautiful smile.

When designing a dental treatment plan for a patient, the client’s goals and expectations are discussed. The most skillful cosmetic dentists consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. The cosmetic dental client’s age, health condition and lifestyle also influence the plan.

If you want to learn about the possibilities for your smile, call Boger Dental at (763) 546-7707. We have created memorable smiles for many of your friends and neighbors in the Minneapolis area.

Affordable Minnesota Cosmetic Dentistry

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Will your Minnesota dental insuranceAffordable Fremont Cosmetic Dentistry cover Minneapolis cosmetic dental procedures? Many  dentistry clients assume their dental insurance won’t cover any cosmetic dental procedures. This is probably true for tooth bleaching  or first time dental bonding. However, many Minnesota dental insurance plans and dental supplemental plans cover orthodontia and any treatment needed to repair damage from an injury. Medical insurance and worker’s compensation plans may also cover injury treatment.

Some Minneapolis dental insurance plans cover replacement porcelain veneers in certain circumstances. Check with your carrier for benefit specifics if you need replacement veneers due to deterioration. We can then discuss dental treatment options such as replacement veneers or porcelain crowns. When the work is completed, we may be able to help you submit your dental claim form if your plan requires one.
