Clear Braces for Busy Adults: Invisalign and ClearCorrect

November 10, 2014

156872951Getting straight teeth with orthodontics isn’t just for kids and teens anymore. Today, you can discretely and conveniently correct your adult orthodontic issues with clear braces from Invisalign and ClearCorrect. Invisalign and ClearCorrect can address many orthodontic problems including: overcrowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, cross bites, over or under bites, and deep bites. Because they can be removed at any time during treatment, you can eat and drink whatever you want, maintain your oral hygiene routine, and choose to remove them briefly for special occasions or important meetings. On the other hand, traditional fixed braces can only be removed by trained professionals. This can hinder your ability to clean your teeth and gums effectively, and may limit what food and drinks you can enjoy. If you have avoided orthodontic treatment with traditional braces, it’s time to see what clear braces can do for your teeth. To see if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign and ClearCorrect clear braces, make an appointment with Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley at Juno Beach Smiles today. The experienced cosmetic dentists at Juno Beach Smiles can help you transform your smile. Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley proudly serve patients throughout Juno Beach, FL, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach, and the surrounding communities.

Clear Braces Answers: How Do Invisalign and ClearCorrect Work?

Among clear braces, Invisalign and ClearCorrect are among the most popular brands. In fact, Invisalign reports a 96% patient satisfaction rate. ClearCorrect is one of the newest and most affordable brands of clear braces, utilizing the latest digital mapping and molding technology. ClearCorrect also offers your dentist the option of ordering your aligners in shorter phases, which allows for free midcourse corrections if your treatment plan needs adjustment. For both products, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to verify that they can be straightened using the Invisalign or ClearCorrect systems. If they can, they will develop a virtual 3D treatment plan, showing how your teeth are expected to look at the end of your clear braces treatment. This plan will be sent to the clear braces labs for fabrication. The dentist will receive the completed aligners and disperse them to you accordingly. You will wear each set of custom-made clear aligners in two-week increments. Your teeth will begin shifting, little by little, gradually moving towards the projected final positions. You will need occasional check-ups throughout your treatment, and a retainer at the end of the treatment to maintain your results.

Extracting Dental Care Myths

October 10, 2014

78188806Below are three of the most common dental care myths. If you’re clueless about your dental health, inform yourself and then make an appointment with Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley at Juno Beach Smiles. The dentists at Juno Beach Smiles want to partner with you to create your healthiest possible smile. Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley proudly serve patients throughout Juno Beach, FL, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach and surrounding communities.
Top 3 Dental Care Myths:

  1. Sugar Causes Cavities– Cavities are actually caused by acid producing bacteria that feed off of excess sugars deposited in the mouth. Yet any carbohydrate can be used as fuel for these bacteria. The waste they produce after digesting carbohydrates is the acid that erodes your enamel and causes tooth decay. That means that chips and bread can be just as harmful as candy and soda. Xylitol, a sugar substitute found in sugar free candy and gum, has actually been found to reduce the chances of developing cavities.
  2. Your Chances Of Getting Cavities Decrease As You Get Older– The opposite is actually true. The older you get the more actively you need to protect your teeth from cavities. Fluoride in tap water has actually caused the incidence of childhood cavities to decrease in recent years. On the other hand, as we age, the side effects of certain medications and medical conditions like dry mouth can increase the likely hood of developing cavities.
  3. If You Don’t Feel Any Pain Then Your Teeth Are Healthy– Although you may feel no pain or discomfort, you could still have dental problems that require immediate attention. Your dentist can use new x-ray technology to detect cavities before they become acute enough to cause pain. As with any medical concern, the earlier the problem is found, the more treatment options are available.

Quality Dental Care in Juno Beach, FL

There are a lot of “urban myths” surrounding dental care. It’s important to dispel myths about proper dental care and dental treatments because mismanaging your dental care can be costly. Be proactive about your dental health and make an appointment with Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley at Juno Beach Smiles. The dentists at Juno Beach Smiles are committed to your overall well being and proudly serve patients throughout Juno Beach, FL, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach and surrounding cities.

Laser Gum Contouring: A Beautiful New Smile is Closer than You Think

September 22, 2014

476106489Excess gum tissue can make your teeth appear short and stubby, resulting in a smile that looks disproportional and even childlike in its unevenness. Fortunately, there is a cosmetic solution that can correct an overly “gummy” smile without the use of surgical scalpels or sutures: laser gum contouring at Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry in Juno Beach, FL. Dr. Duane Keuning and Dr. Greg Riley offer an extensive menu of cosmetic dentistry services with your satisfaction in mind, and we look forward to helping you rediscover the confidence that comes with a gorgeous smile.

Teeth Too Short? Laser Gum Contouring

When a person’s teeth appear short or irregularly sized, the culprit is often an uneven gum line or too much gum tissue. The gum tissue extends too far down over the teeth, hiding a substantial portion of their surface area. The removal of this excess tissue reveals the sparkling enamel underneath, giving your smile the balance and symmetry it needs to look its best.

Because our doctors use a soft tissue laser to perform this procedure, healing begins immediately as the gum tissue is cauterized. This method results in shorter recovery times and improved patient comfort as compared to traditional surgical techniques. Laser gum contouring can also be used to even out the appearance of a receding gum line. Drs. Riley and Keuning may suggest a combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures to promote the most aesthetically pleasing results.

At Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry, our team wants to help. Contact our office in Juno Beach, FL today to schedule your visit with Dr. Riley or Dr. Keuning. We genuinely love seeing our patients’ gorgeous smiles, and we’ll always work with you to develop a cosmetic dentistry treatment that’s perfect for yours.

Cosmetic Dentistry That Fits Your Life

If your smile is flawed by cracks, chips, deep stains, or alignment problems, you may feel less inclined to share it with the world. Fortunately, there is a way to correct these common problems without extensive dental work. Porcelain veneers can be applied to the front surfaces of your teeth, masking imperfections and creating the appearance of a radiant smile. These custom-crafted sheaths of fine dental porcelain even reflect light in the same way that your enamel does, so you’re left with a smile free of blemishes that still looks completely natural.

For some of our patients, stained and dull-colored teeth are the primary problem they face on a daily basis. If your teeth are dingy and discolored, you’re far less likely to reveal your smile to classmates, professors, and even your friends. Allow our team to help with professional teeth whitening. In less time than ever before, you can eliminate stains from deep within the enamel, promoting a brilliantly white smile that lasts.

If missing teeth are harming your smile and your lifestyle, we invite you to ask us about dental implants. These lifelike, sturdy replacement teeth are considered the preferred alternative to removable prosthetics like dentures and bridges. We’re always happy to work with you to formulate a customized treatment plan to fulfill your individual needs.

What are Amalgam Fillings and What Should I Know About Them?

June 10, 2014

Shutterstock Happy Male Patient with StaffDental fillings are among the most commonly performed restorative dentistry procedure in America, allowing patients with tooth decay to prevent further damage to their smiles in a way that simultaneously preserves the natural tooth. At Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry in Juno Beach, FL, Dr. Greg K. Riley and Dr. Duane E. Keuning provide patients with not only the most advanced restorative dentistry options available, but also with advice, information, and insight regarding the treatments we plan for each of our patients.

Amalgam Fillings Vs. Composite Fillings

Amalgam fillings are composed of a mixture of metals, including silver, mercury, tin, and copper. The alloy is placed within the prepared cavity of a decayed tooth to prevent further decay. Because of its composition, an amalgam filling is susceptible to microscopic changes in size and shape when exposed to extreme hot or cold. This may result in tiny fissures in the tooth over time, thereby compromising the structural stability of the tooth as a whole.

Composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are made of a composite resin that closely matches the shade of the tooth it fills. The majority of dentists agree that composite fillings are the preferred restorative option. In addition to the fact that they are more aesthetically agreeable, composite fillings stand up to changes in temperature better than amalgams. As with any of our procedures and treatments, our doctors are happy to explain the entire process before your fillings are placed, as well as the pros and cons of each type. We’re here to help you understand your dental care and to assist in your journey toward optimal oral health.

Schedule Your Appointment Today

Whether you currently have amalgam fillings and are interested in having them replaced with more aesthetically pleasing composite fillings or you are in need of a new restoration, we invite you to contact us today to schedule your appointment. Our doctors and staff will always welcome you with a warm, sincere smile and the ultimate in gentle chairside manner. Our conveniently located dental practice in Juno Beach, FL also happily serves patients in the surrounding areas, including North Palm Beach, Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, and more.

Fix Your Smile with Invisalign Clear Braces

December 31, 2013

shutterstock_38724895Nothing should get in the way of you feeling confident about your smile. A smile is a first impression, and you want to make sure you make the best first impression possible. If you have gapped, crooked, or crowded teeth, you may feel as though there is no hope besides having a mouth full of metal. At Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic, we strive to make sure your smile is flawless by offering Invisalign to our patients.

Invisalign is a revolutionary technology, straightening your teeth through a series of aligners. Each aligner signifies the next step in your straightening process. Because each mouth is different, the aligners are made to fit your mouth only. Barely visible on your teeth, Invisalign helps you avoid the mouth full of metal you may have been worried about, giving you the confidence to wear the aligners anywhere you go! Simply wear the aligners for 2 weeks at a time, then transition to the next one.

One of the major benefits to Invisalign is that it gives you better oral health than traditional braces. Whenever you need to eat, drink, floss, or brush, simply remove the aligners and reapply them when you are finished. That way, no food is stuck in the wires and brackets, letting bacteria sit in your mouth and possibly cause bad oral health. Also, with Invisalign, you will not have to make adjusting appointments, saving you money in the long run!
