Dental Overdentures

Overdentures Eliminate Slippage

If you wear dentures, you know what the worst problem is – all the movement and instability that occurs when eating or speaking. You probably have tried adhesives that give little security to hold dentures in place. But at Springhill Dental, we have an alternative that really works! By placing just a few dental implants, your dentures can be locked into place to finally take care of slipping and tilting. They are easy to take out and clean and then replace – so say good-bye to these problems by giving us a call for an appointment today!

6 Habits That Harm Your Teeth (And How to Break Them): Constant Snacking

The habit: Grazing all day, especially on sugary foods and drinks, puts you at a higher risk for cavities. When you eat, cavity-causing bacteria feast leftover food, producing an acid that attacks the outer shell of your teeth.

The solution: Eat balanced meals to feel fuller, longer. If you need a snack, make sure it's low in fat and sugar. If you indulge in the occasional sugary treat, follow it with a big glass of water to wash away leftover food.

Dental Fillings

Our Filling Choices

The silver-mercury amalgam filling is one choice we offer that has been the standard material for a number of years. They provide an effective restoration that is affordable and covered by most insurance plans. We also offer natural-looking fillings that blend with the shade of the tooth being repaired. Patients often choose this type of filling because it is not noticeable when smiling or speaking. This restoration also adds strength and bonds tightly to the tooth to reduce the chance of additional decay. We are pleased to offer both options and will discuss which one works best for you.

6 Habits That Harm Your Teeth (And How to Break Them): Using Your Teeth As Tools

The habit: Your teeth were made for eating, not to stand in as a pair of scissors or hold things when your hands are full. When you do this, you put yourself at a higher risk of cracking your teeth, injuring your jaw or accidentally swallowing something you shouldn’t.

The solution: Stop and find something or someone to give you a hand. Your mouth will thank you.

6 Habits That Harm Your Teeth (And How to Break Them): Nail Biting

The habit: This nervous habit can chip teeth and impact your jaw. “Placing your jaw for long periods of time in a protruding position can place pressure on it, which is associated with jaw dysfunction,” says Dr. Ruchi Sahota.

The solution: Bitter-tasting nail polishes, stress reduction and setting small, realistic goals can help. If certain situations are triggers, hold something to keep your fingers busy.
