The Health Benefits of Invisalign

March 29, 2013

InvisalignIn our last post, we talked about some of the most convenient benefits of straightening your smile with Invisalign, the first being that Invisalign is clear and the second being that Invisalign is removable. But the second benefit isn’t just about convenience; it also benefits your oral health.

With traditional braces, food can become trapped around the brackets and wires that move teeth into their ideal alignment. If these bits of food aren’t cleaned away through brushing and flossing, they can make patients more vulnerable to common oral health conditions, like tooth decay and gum disease. What’s more, some foods can actually damage braces, requiring extra office visits.

With Invisalign, our Juno Beach patients don’t have to worry about either of these. Because Invisalign uses removable aligners, you can enjoy the same foods you always have. You don’t have to worry about hurting your braces, because you take them out for meals. Plus, because you’ll also take your aligners out for brushing and flossing, you can clean your smile as thoroughly as you would without braces.

Both of these benefits translate into a potentially healthier treatment time. Because you’re not limited in what you can eat, you can enjoy a balanced, nutritious diet that includes healthy but hard-to-eat foods. You can also take better care of your smile with regular at-home care and professional cleanings.

Do you want to know if Invisalign is right for you? Call Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry. Drs. Duane Keuning and Greg Riley are happy to provide care to patients from Juno Beach, North Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Tequesta, and beyond.

Will It Ever Be Possible to Regrow Missing Teeth?

March 27, 2013

dental implantsRight now, the best way for a patient to replace one or more missing teeth is with dental implants. That’s because dental implants are structured in a way that’s similar to teeth. On top is the crown, which replaces the missing tooth. Below is the metal implant that acts like a prosthetic root. When inserted into the jaw, the implant will stimulate the growth of new bone tissue in the jaw, creating a strong, stable foundation and creating results that feel natural.

As effective as this option is, though, it may one day be possible for dentists like Dr. Duane Keuning and Dr. Greg Riley to help patients re-grow what they’ve lost. In March, Science World Report published an article reporting that doctors and researchers had found a way to use stem cells to grow a new tooth where one had been lost. The process involves taking a sample of gum tissue, isolating particular cells, and transplanting them back to the jaw.

You won’t be seeing dentists offer this as a service any time soon, but it could be that one day bioengineered teeth will replace dental implants.

Until then, talk to our team at Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry about how dental implants can help. Not every patient is a good candidate for the procedure, but many are. What’s more dental implants are versatile; they can be used to replace a single tooth, a few teeth, or even a full row of teeth. During a consultation visit with Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley, we can help you understand your needs and your treatment options. We can also put together a personalized plan that will help you address those options.

Call us today to reserve an appointment. We serve patients from North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Tequesta.

Discreet Orthodontic Care with Invisalign

March 22, 2013

InvisalignHave you avoided orthodontic care because you don’t want to commit to a year or more of traditional braces? Your team at Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry has good news. Your ticket to a straighter, healthier smile doesn’t have to lie behind the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Instead, you can achieve the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted with revolutionary service known as Invisalign.

Convenient Benefits of Invisalign

The major benefit of Invisalign over traditional braces is that Invisalign doesn’t use brackets or wires. Instead, this great orthodontic system lets our Juno Beach patients enjoy a more discreet treatment. That’s because Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners that are nearly invisible. No one but you and our cosmetic dentistry team will ever have to know about your treatment.

But clear aligners aren’t the only benefit of Invisalign. They’re also removable. That means you can take them for enjoying meals and for brushing and flossing every day. You’ll also take them out to move from your current aligner to the next one in your treatment kit. By the time your treatment is done, you’ll have worn every aligner in your kit for about two weeks each.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign works well for patients concerned primarily with how their smile looks, which means it’s not right for every patient. If you need orthodontic care and want to find out if Invisalign is right for you, call Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry for an appointment. Dr. Duane Keuning and Dr. Greg Riley provide general, cosmetic, and restorative care for patients from Juno Beach, Tequesta, Jupiter, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and beyond.
