Sometimes, it’s hard to get a clear picture of just how your teeth really look. At Grand Dental Nichols Hills, we have an intra-oral camera to help you see what we see when you’re sitting in our dental chair.
We will use a special wand with a camera on the end that we will insert into your mouth. The intra-oral camera will take a video of the inside of your mouth and send the color images to a TV screen you can view from the comfort of the dental chair.
You’ll be able to see your teeth, up close and in full color. While the idea of seeing your teeth from this...(Read More) Intra-Oral Cameras for Better Smile Understanding

DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection in OKC
December 16, 2012
Cavities are a very common dental health issue. Despite our best efforts to brush and floss, sometimes they can still occur. The best way to treat cavities is to find them as early as possible. At Grand Dental Nichols Hills, we use DIAGNOdent technology to help detect cavities in their infancy.
DIAGNOdent is a small, portable dental laser that can detect cavities earlier than any of the previously existing detection methods. This is a real benefit, because the earlier a cavity is detected, the smaller it is and thus the easier it is to repair the damage.
Our DIAGNOdent laser will scan your teeth, using laser reflection to find imperfections in your...(Read More) 
Use Your Dental Benefits Before the Year Is Over
November 14, 2012
The end of the year is getting closer and closer. That means that, for many, remaining dental benefits are about to expire. So, with the two months we have left, why not take advantage of them right now?
One of the best ways you can use your benefits is to cover a regular checkup and professional cleaning. We recommend having visits like these every six months, that way our doctors can keep an eye out for even the smallest change in your oral health.
What kinds of changes?
Signs of decay, for instance, or the appearance of gum disease. These common oral health conditions can have a negative impact on your...(Read More) 
The Relationship between Sugar and Your Teeth
October 10, 2012
Halloween is just a couple of weeks away now. That means that, soon, another night of trick-or-treating will be underway. Trick-or-treating may primarily be a young kid’s activity, but if we adults are honest, we’ll admit to nabbing a piece of candy (or two or three) from the supply we bought to hand out.
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Enjoying a piece of candy from time to time is a good thing. But so are a balanced diet and excellent brushing and flossing habits.
So instead of making you feel guilty for eating candy this Halloween, we’d just like to briefly explain how sugar interacts with your teeth. That way you can make...(Read More) 
Back to School, Back to the Grind
September 15, 2012
In our last post we brought up the start of a new school year, which brings to mind a saying we’re sure you’re familiar with—back to the daily grind. That’s what August and September can feel like as teachers, students, and parents re-structure their time around another school year.
But there’s a big difference between that phrase—“the daily grind”—and a very serious condition known as bruxism. Often triggered by stress, which a new school year can cause, bruxism involves the unconscious grinding of teeth. Patients who struggle with bruxism may grind their teeth anytime, but it’s most common while they’re asleep.
The reason why teeth grinding is something to be concerned about...(Read More) Have You Scheduled Your Child’s Back-to-School Visit?
August 19, 2012
Over the next few weeks, families in Oklahoma and everywhere else in the country will be facing a new school year. That means that now is when parents will be focused on buying new clothes for their kids, new schools supplies, a new lunchbox or backpack, and more. What can get lost in all that great rush of activity, though, is something that’s very important—a back-to-school dental checkup.
There’s no better time than right now, with school just starting or about to start, to bring your child or teenager into Grand Dental in OKC for a dental visit and cleaning.
Why now?
Because as hectic as preparing for a new school year is,...(Read More) 
Receive the Care You Need with Sedation Dentistry from Grand Dental Nichols Hills
July 10, 2012
A healthy smile is important, not only for your teeth and gums but for your overall health as well. But as important as visiting the dentist is, strong feelings of anxiety can be enough to keep some from even just a routine exam and cleaning.
Where does this anxiety come from?
It may be linked to a past visit, or it may be related to something else entirely, like a sensitive gag reflex or a neuromuscular condition that makes sitting for long periods unbearable.
Whatever might be keeping you from seeking essential care, our doctors at Grand Dental Nichols Hills can help with sedation dentistry.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Give Your Smile Extra Protection with Dental Sealants from Grand Dental
June 10, 2012
You may have heard of dentists using dental sealants to help young patients protect their teeth, but did you know that adult patients can benefit from them too? After all, it’s not just children who get cavities in the pits and grooves of their teeth—it can happen to anyone. But with dental sealants, it’s possible to keep teeth healthy and cavity-free.
