Keep An Eye Out For Cavity Symptoms

June 24, 2015

Filed under: cavities,Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 9:03 pm

ThinkstockPhotos-477249801Just because you get a cavity doesn’t mean the world is ending. We understand that there are tempting foods and snacks out there. Carbonated drinks can sometimes sound much more quenching than plain water. Though we can try our best to steer you away from sugary drinks and other foods that wreak havoc on your teeth, the decision is left to you. Cavities, unfortunately, are most often the result. If you are currently dealing with a cavity issue, Drs. Doug Clark Jr. and Douglas Clark III would like you to come in for a checkup and determine how best to treat your cavity issues. The warning signs of cavities are easily felt, and can be corrected if caught early enough.

 

What is a Cavity?

Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that turn into tiny openings or holes. Also referred to as tooth decay or caries, cavities are caused by a combination of factors, including bacteria in your mouth, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks and so much more. It’s among the world’s most common health problems, especially in children and teens. If they aren’t treated, they get larger and affect deeper layers of your teeth not visible to the eye. Severe toothaches, infection and tooth loss have resulted from patients who didn’t treat their cavity.

Symptoms To Look Out For

The signs and symptoms of cavities vary depending on their extent and location. One thing is for sure – a cavity is not something you want to deal with. When a cavity is born, you may not experience any symptoms. However, once the decay increases in size, the signs and symptoms become more apparent.

  • Toothache
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Mild to sharp pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot or cold
  • Visible holes or pits in your teeth
  • Brown, black or white staining on any surface of a tooth
  • Pain when you bite down

Any or all of these symptoms can combine and result in a terrible dental experience for a patient. Any amount of pain or discomfort you feel that isn’t normal should be handled by a dentist you can trust. Our team is prepared to bring your smile back to working order.

Restore Your Smile in 2015 with New Dental Implants from Dr. Clark in Superior, WI

December 24, 2014

Filed under: dental implants,dental implants superior,restorative dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 7:18 pm

122407402Are you facing a tooth replacement decision? With the many choices available for modern tooth restoration, deciding which method will work best for you can be confusing. However, many patients have found that their concerns are addressed, and their expectations are exceeded when they decide to replace their teeth with dental implants. Dental implants are fast becoming the most popular choice for patients seeking to escape the encumbrances of ill fitting dentures or untreated tooth loss. To discover how dental implants could improve your quality of life, make an appointment with Dr. Clark today for a personalized dental implants consultation. Hill Avenue Dental is the leading local destination for dental implants procedures. Dr. Clark renews smiles daily throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, and the surrounding communities.

What Happens During a Dental Implants Procedure?

  • First, a detailed evaluation and treatment plan is prescribed by Dr. Clark.
  • Next your implant(s) will be placed gently below your gum line in a single visit.
  • The implants will need time to heal and fuse with your jaw bone (usually for 3 to 6 months). During this time, you will need to wear a modified or  temporary denture or dental bridge
  • After your implant has fully healed, a small metal post (abutment) will be attached. This segment will be used to secure your denture or dental crown to the implant.
  • Finally, your new replacement teeth can be crafted and fitted. Total treatment time for most dental implants is typically between 5 and 8 months.

What Are The Advantages of Dental Implants Placement?

Dental implants are versatile. They can be used to replace an entire lower or upper denture, a partial denture, fixed bridgework, or a single missing tooth. Dental implants anchor your tooth replacement, eliminating embarrassing and uncomfortable slippage and shifting. They actually replace your missing tooth’s root, so they preserve your remaining jawbone density, to prevent premature aging. They can be cared for just as if they were your natural teeth, they never decay, and they can last a lifetime with proper oral maintenance. Implants can enhance overall oral functioning and fully restore the feeling of natural teeth.

Superior Dental Implants Appointments

If a patient is well enough to undergo fixed bridgework or routine oral surgery, they should be eligible to undergo a dental implants procedure. However, the density and location of available bone is usually the major determinant of a good implant candidate. Make your dental implants appointment with Dr. Clark today. Hill Avenue Dental performs expert dental implants procedures daily for patients throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, and nearby areas.

Enjoy Faster Dental Appointments with CEREC One Visit Crowns

December 23, 2014

177510812Sometimes, it’s hard to make time for the dental care you need. Dr. Clark understands this. That’s why Hill Avenue Dental now offers complete tooth restorations in just one short office visit using CEREC CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) equipment. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is an innovative dental technology that enables Dr. Clark to design, fabricate, and fit a new custom dental crown or veneer faster than ever before. This procedure would normally take at least two office visits over several weeks to complete. With CEREC one visit crowns from Hill Avenue Dental, you can fully restore a damaged tooth; and be in and out and on with your day. Schedule your CEREC one visit crowns appointment with Dr. Clark today. Hill Avenue Dental proudly restores smile daily throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, and the surrounding Northern Wisconsin and Northeastern Minnesota communities.

How Are CEREC One Visit Crowns Made?

First, Dr. Clark will prepare your tooth for fitting. But instead of using a messy dental putty mold, he will take a digital impression of your tooth. This imaging is then converted into a 3D computerized model, which is used to guide the design of your new restoration. This information is sent to an in-house milling machine, which then fabricates your new tooth out of a high-quality ceramic block. The milling process can take under an hour. Once your new crown is milled, Dr. Clark may stain it to match your surrounding teeth, and polish and glaze it, before cementing it into place over your prepared tooth.

Why Choose CEREC One Visit Crowns?

  • With CEREC one visit crowns, you will only need to take one day away from work to have the procedure completed; instead of several days for several visits. Having fewer appointments can also reduce the expense of your procedure.
  • Because the entire procedure can be carried out within an hour, you will only need one set of anesthetic injections.
  • Because CEREC crowns are designed and fabricated in house, you have more control over the outcome of your treatment.
  • You won’t have to wear a temporary crown while waiting for your new restoration.

Superior CEREC One Visit Crowns Appointments

Hill Avenue Dental can save you time and money with new CEREC one visit crowns. Make an appointment with Dr. Clark today for the efficient, quality dental treatment you deserve. Hill Avenue dental delivers patient centered care daily throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, and nearby areas.

Take a look at your smile in the mirror or in a photograph of yourself. Look closely. Do your teeth seem discolored? Well, you’re not alone. Millions of adults have, well, “off white” smiles. The reasons our teeth discolor run the gamut from unavoidable to somewhat preventable:
  •         The foods and beverages we consume, such as carrots and blueberries, coffee and red wine
  •          Tobacco products
  •          Certain antibiotics or excessive consumption of fluoride
  •          The wear and tear on teeth as we age
  •          Teeth grinding, which causes imperceptible cracks in the teeth where debris and stains can accumulate
  •          Injuries that cause larger cracks where staining builds

Ease Your Pain with Root Canal Therapy from Your Dentist in Superior, WI

November 10, 2014

Filed under: dentist in Superior,Dr. Doug Clark,family dentist in Superior,Hill Avenue Dental,root canal therapy superior — tntadmin @ 6:05 pm
Perhaps the pain started as a minor annoyance. Something you noticed when you were chewing on that side of your mouth. But now, there’s no denying it—you have a serious toothache and the pain is getting worse. If the problem is decay or a crack that extends deep into the tooth, then root canal therapy may be the solution. Hill Avenue Dental is the family dentist in Superior, WI, you can turn to for gentle care and professional treatment when a root canal is needed.

Root Canal Therapy and Your Tooth

A tooth is more than what you see. Inside the tooth, there is soft tissue that is commonly called pulp. This pulp tissue contains nerve and blood connections. Toothache pain is often the result of infection that develops when this pulp is exposed to bacteria that commonly lives in the mouth. This exposure may be due to severe tooth decay or a penetrating crack in the tooth. In addition to the pain that such an infection usually causes (although some patients report not feeling any pain despite infection), there is the threat of the infection spreading or causing an abscess at the tip of the root.

At Hill Avenue Dental, your dentist in Superior, WI, Dr. Doug Clark Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark III will use the latest in dental technology to painlessly repair your aching tooth. During a root canal, the dentist carefully removes the tooth’s pulp and meticulously cleans out the infection and any debris. Then, the tooth is disinfected and the root is filled with a natural, biocompatible material. Once the tooth has healed and the root canal is determined to be successful, Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will place a crown on the tooth for protection and to restore the tooth’s functionality.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you or someone you care for has a toothache, please call our office today to schedule an appointment for one of our dentist’s to determine whether or not a root canalis necessary. Hill Avenue Dental, your family dentist in Superior, WI, also conveniently serves patients in Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, Duluth and Douglas County and beyond.
