Does Oral Health Affect Cognitive Function?

September 6, 2017

Laughing senior coupleThe answer to this question is not a straightforward yes or no. The result of some research does indicate that this may be a possibility, but more research is still necessary to reach a consensus. However, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, adds further credence to the hypothesis that poor oral health can negatively affect those who struggle with cognitive or memory disorders. Simply put, visiting a dentist for regular dental checkups may slow the progress of cognitive decline.

Perfect Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers from Hill Avenue Dental

March 10, 2015

92589293When you see someone with what you consider to be a perfect smile, do you think to yourself, “I wish my teeth could look like that”? Well, they can. Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment that conceal the flaws in your own smile and give you a new and beautiful smile. At Hill Avenue Dental in Superior, WI, we recreate smiles with porcelain veneers for people who want to turn their wishes into reality.

Porcelain Veneers are ultra-thin sheaths of dental porcelain or ceramic that are designed to hide a number of smile imperfections including:

  • Stained and discolored teeth that have not responded to teeth whitening
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Teeth that are misshaped, incorrectly sized, or have an otherwise abnormal appearance
  • Teeth that have irregular gaps between them

If any of these or another cosmetic flaw is marring your smile, then you should speak to Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. or Dr. Doug Clark III about the possibility of porcelain veneers to repair your smile.

Porcelain Veneers in Superior, WI

The first step toward your new smile is a consultation with one of the dentists at Hill Avenue Dental to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers. If your overall oral health checks out, then we will begin. We’ll record the size, shape, and general coloring of your teeth. This way, we can closely match your veneers to your existing teeth. If you’ve ever considered having your teeth whitened, then you’ll want to do that before you get fitted for porcelain veneers. Veneers do not respond to bleaching and they won’t age and darken like authentic enamel either.

Once your veneers have been fabricated in our dental lab, Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will adhesively bond them to the facial surface of your front teeth and you’ll have the smile you’ve always wished for.
