Same Day Implant Teeth

Posted on November 15, 2019 by Cristi Cheek.

Over the past decade there has been a lot of buzz in the media about same day implants and teeth.  In some cases, a smile can be restored with a single implant and crown or with multiple implants and a set of teeth in just one day. Dentists must use good judgement when assessing a patient to determine whether same day implant restoration is a good option for that patient.  In many cases it is much more difficult to place a single implant and restore it with a crown the same day than it is to place multiple implants and a full set of teeth in one appointment.

Finding a GOOD Dentist for Your Family

Posted on May 16, 2019 by Cristi Cheek.

As a mom of three, I know the pressures we moms feel in making decisions for our kids’ health.  We buy organic when possible, we try to make sure our kids get outside and aren’t glued to their electronics all weekend, and we research online and among neighbors when trying to find healthcare providers like pediatricians and dentists. But how do you really know if a dentist is “good?”  Do you seek the opinions of neighbors and co-workers?  Co-workers and neighbors can be good resources for recommending a dentist based on the dentist’s personality, gentleness, and appearance of the office, but may not always know if the work being done is of high quality.  However, word-of-mouth recommendations are a good place to start. Reading online reviews next to be sure that others have the same great experience is important as well. [Read more…]

Why Traditional Dentures are NOT for you!

Posted on May 3, 2018 by Cristi Cheek.

imagesDentures are removable replacements for your natural teeth and gums. There are essentially two categories called partial and complete (full) dentures.  Partial dentures are made when a person still has some teeth in the arch, and they can replace one or more teeth.  Complete dentures are made when the entire upper or lower jaw is missing all of the teeth. Both types of dentures are made from either dental acrylic (a type of plastic) or a combination of acrylic and metal. [Read more…]

A Beautiful Smile

Posted on July 21, 2016 by Cristi Cheek.

Often when I am asked to restore patients’ smiles, the patients ask for qualities that they think will make their smile perfect – smooth on the incisal (chewing) edge and white.  These qualities SOUND good, but in the mouth, they may not be so pleasing to the eye.  So what makes a smile beautiful?  Typically, the most esthetic qualities involve symmetry, a natural light color, and the appearance of health.

Cosmetic Options

Posted on May 24, 2016 by Cristi Cheek.

Right or wrong we often make assumptions about people based on what they wear, how they speak, or their posture. A confident, attractive smile also plays an important role in a person’s image. When you look good, you feel good, and if you’re pleased with your smile, you’re more likely to wear it! [Read more…]

Teeth…one of your most valuable possessions!

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Cristi Cheek.

Uninsured and underinsured Americans have been for years a concern to the healthcare industry.  Realizing the importance of good health, our government has been attempting to solve the problem through healthcare reform.  Unfortunately, dental care is looked at by some as a non-necessity. Teeth are important for chewing, which helps provide proper nutrition to our bodies, and a healthy smile affects others’ views of who we are. [Read more…]

Why are dental costs so pricey and variable?

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Cristi Cheek.

Dentistry is a profession that is both art and science. It should not be treated as a commodity where comparison shopping is based on price alone. There are many reasons why a treatment plan quoted by one dentist may vary greatly from that of another dentist and why the associated costs for each procedure may also differ. [Read more…]

Are implants right for you?

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Cristi Cheek.

Do you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth? Maybe your dentures don’t feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! [Read more…]
