Free "initial" Invisalign Consultation Denver Dentist

Free initial Invisalign Consultation Denver Dentist

Please feel free to schedule a no-charge initial Invisalign consultation. We do this because our Denver dentists know that not every patient is a candidate for Invisalign orthodontics. As a general rule, Invisalign work well for smaller mis-alignments of teeth. Very complex orthodontics or surgical orthodontia is generally not considered good candidates to Invisalign treatment. If this is the case... traditional orthodontics is indicated.

What cases work well with Invisalign? Denver Dentist

Cases that work well for Invisalign typically are the post orthodontic crowding. Today our Denver dentist know that patients need to be in some type of retainer for the rest of their life if they wish to maintain their orthodontia. The fact is for the vast majority of patients teeth move as they age. It is described as the mesial migration (forward movement) of you teeth. The result of this movement is the crowding of the front teeth.

Clear... nearly invisible retainers Denver dentist

Invisalign uses clear retainer called aligners that move your teeth. Each movement is programmed by a computer to move your teeth in 0.25mm increments or less. It is not easy to see if you are wearing Invisalign retainers. This makes this procedure more appealing to patients of every age. Traditional orthodontics uses metal brackets and wires that many patients just do not want to wear. Invisalign offers an alternative to many (not all) patients to traditional orthodontics.

Denver dentist White dental fillings (303) 694-9740

White Dental fillings Denver Dentist

White dental fillings are becoming the staple of this Denver dentists dental office. It is replacing in many (but not all) instances the old silver amalgam restorations. The amalgam restoration was composed of two metals mercury and silver plus some other trace elements. Since mercury was combined with silver it does not have the same toxic effects that mercury would have by itself. The current ADA opinion is that is that it is save to use with patients. Denver Dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp provide a variety of dental services to their patients in the Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Parker. Ken Caryl, Lone Tree, and Greenwood Village areas of Colorado.

Old amalgam fillings turn black in time

Our Denver Dentist has seen many examples of silver amalgam restorations breaking down and turning black in time. This blackness in part is due to corrosion of the silver in the amalgam formula. As the filling breaks away bacteria can percolate down between the silver filling and the tooth structure resulting in a cavity (decay) under the dental filling. Most of the time we cannot tell how much cavity is under the dental filling until we remove it . What we hope for is none to minimal but at times the decay can be substantial.

Denver Dentist Ice-cream Headaches

Denver Dentist Ice Cream headaches (what a pain!)

Denver Dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp like others have wondered why we occasionally get headaches (brain freeze) when we eat ice cream or a very cold drink. The number of terms used to describe this phenomena is vast and includes Brain Freeze to name a few.

to view our practice video click Denver Dentist

Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia (Brain freeze)

The above name is a mouth full but is means nerve pain of the phenopalatine ganglion. It has been described a a form of brief cranial pain associated with fast cold beverages or food (ice-cream e.g.). It symptoms is a brief headache that goes away as the area warms and gets used to the cold.

The British Medical Journal reported the effect as when cold touches the top palate in the mouth. The blood vessels constrict due to the cold and this nerve causes the brain too pen blood vessels. This vasodilation makes the fluid back up in the tissues and will not drain for a short period of time typically one minute or less. This causes a swelling the the forehead which causes the pain.

Treatment of brain freeze....what to do!

Wait it will go away in a minute or so or it has been reported that taking rapid short breaths may help.

What is unique about this product is that the coping have different shades. The coping is the base upon which the crown is fabricated. Picking a coping that is a similar shade to the final crown color makes for a more predictable color match. Nobel Biocare states that the coloring technique has more consistent color throughout the coping (framework) and at the same time is very strong. Having worked with zirconia we know this to be true.

Currently Nobel Biocare is one of the leaders in the dental implant field. They offer a variety of dental implant solutions ranging from cemented or screw retained implants and products for natural teeth.

Denver Dentists Dr. H. Candace DeLapp and Dr. James DeLapp attended the Denver Implant Study Club meeting this February 2009. The course involved the direct loading of dental implants indications and contraindications. What was reviewed in this course there are a few instances in which dental implants "may" be loaded right away. Courses like this helps all dentists an idea of which cases may be handled in this manner. These Denver dentists serve the , Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Parker, Centennial Greenwood Village, and Ken Caryl area.

Ankylos by DentsplyInternational is a particular type of dental implant that whose design is made to be loaded immediately (in some... not all cases). Each manufacturer dental implants have pluses and minuses and no one dental implant system seems works for all cases. Getting a broad spectrum of dental implant systems information gives our Denver dentists the best opportunity to select the best implant system for our patients.

In this course it was discussed that four (4) Ankylos dental implants "may" allow for immediate placement and loading of the denture. The taper of the abutment increases or decreases the retention of the removable denture. These abutments can be changed our as needed in each individual case.
