Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

March 18, 2014

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , — Dr. Michael Kirk @ 2:24 pm

dental implants ftw!If you have teeth missing from your smile, you may find it difficult to be one hundred percent confident in your smile. Though some people may not think twice about it, having an incomplete smile can be detrimental to the rest of your mouth, and it is important to take care of it as soon as possible. Dentures and partials are one way to fix the problem, but you may be looking for a more permanent solution. Because our doctors understand the importance of having a full smile, he is able to offer dental implants to his patients.

The process of dental implanting begins with a consultation with one of our doctors. Dr. Michael Kirk has had extensive postgraduate training on dental implanting from the University of Texas, so he is more than capable of taking care of your procedure. During the consultation, he will be able to assess your smile in its current state, as well as ask you about your long term goals regarding your smile. You will also have that opportunity to bring up any questions or concerns you have regarding your procedure, as we want you to be informed the entire time. If you are considered a candidate, that is where the real fun begins!

A titanium screw will be embedded into your jaw bone. This screw will act as a replacement for the empty socket, and will fuse with your natural bone over time. After the screw, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the implant and the crown. The crown is then placed on top, completing your look. In the end, you’re left with a beautiful smile!

If you’re curious as to how dental implants can help change your smile for the better, make an appointment, and we’ll be more than happy to help!

Celebrate National Children’s Dental Month at Grand Dental Studio!

February 17, 2014

This kid is excited about brushing her teeth!Many people may not know this, but February is National Children’s Dental Month. A child’s teeth is just as important, if not more so, than an adult’s, and because their teeth are brand new and just forming, their smiles are more prone to decay. In order to have a beautiful smile for years to come, your child must become accustomed to the healthy routines and habits at an early age. The doctors at Grand Dental Studio understand the importance of your child’s smile, which is why they offer children’s dentistry.

Dental sealants are an important aspect of children’s dentistry. Because the teeth located toward the back of the mouth have deep grooves and pits, they are more susceptible to bacteria getting lodged and causing problems. Dental sealants protect your child’s teeth by adding a protective layer in the grooves, preventing harmful bacteria from making your child’s smile its new home. Playing a crucial role in cavity prevention, dental sealants cover the molars and premolars, which are the primary chewing teeth.  This is a wonderful way to ensure your child’s smile stays protected.

Fluoride supplements are another wonderful way to keep your little one’s smile looking and feeling great! Fluoride attracts other minerals that help strengthen tooth enamel. Surprisingly, tap water is a good way for your child to get fluoride, but because most people drink bottled water, you child may be missing out on much needed fluoride. We will be able to determine whether or not your child needs a fluoride boost when they come in for their appointment, and we will provide a simple solution.

To take advantage of National Children’s Dental Month, make an appointment for your child today, and let our amazing doctors and staff set your child off on the right path of dental health.

Feel The Love This Valentine’s Day with $500 off Invisalign!

January 27, 2014

Overly Excited Woman with Huge SmileFeeling insecure about your smile can really take havoc over your life. You may not feel comfortable meeting new people, joining your friends in a laugh, or find it difficult to eat or speak. Though it may not seem like a big deal, having gapped or misaligned teeth can be detrimental for your oral health, and our very experienced doctors take it very seriously. By offering Invisalign to our patients, we believe it is a key component in making sure you have a smile you can be proud of!

One of the key benefits to Invisalign is the fact they offer better oral health than traditional braces. Instead of having a mouth full of uncomfortable, pesky metal, Invisalign’s clear trays allow you to easily remove and reapply the retainers for when you need to eat, drink, brush, or floss. And because the straightening aligners are nearly invisible on your teeth, you will not experience the embarrassment some may feel when they smile or talk.

Because Valentine’s Day is coming up, everyone at Grand Dental Studio has decided to offer a $500 off special for Invisalign. We know we would be nowhere without our amazing patients, and this is our way of showing (and spreading) the love.

Our Oklahoma City dental office is conveniently located for patients who live or work in the greater OKC area.

Celebrate the New Year with a Straighter Smile

January 6, 2014

shutterstock_140713165If you are a person who suffers from gapped, misaligned teeth or have an off bite, you may think there is no help. You do not want to go through the embarrassment of traditional metal braces, and you are worried of the pain associated with straightening your teeth.  You are in luck, because at Grand Dental Studio, our very experienced and talented dentists will be able to give you the smile you have always wanted with Invisalign Clear Braces!

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign gives you the discretion you want by being barely, if at all, visible on your teeth. Being FDA approved, there is no doubt Invisalign is a great option for anyone who wants to have their teeth corrected. The entire process involves a series of aligners that are made just for you so it fits your mouth perfectly. Being able to gently straighten your teeth, each aligner you receive will be a new stage in your straightening process, so no aligner is alike.

You should wear each aligner for two weeks, 22 hours a day in order to the most advantageous results.  The whole process should take between 12-18 months, and at the end, you’re left with nothing but a beautiful, even smile you can be proud of!

No Bad Breath for 2014!

December 9, 2013

shutterstock_137989865If you think you suffer from bad breath but no one has said anything to you about it, you need to thank your friends and family for being so reserved. Here at Grand Dental Studio, we view bad breath as a serious matter, and our experienced doctors are here to help you on your better breath journey. With 2014 rapidly approaching, we believe a wonderful way to start a new year is to tackle whatever dental issues you put off in 2013.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be caused for many different reasons, and no one is spared from its disadvantages. Bad breath is commonly caused from bacterial tartar buildup in the mouth and tongue, and emits volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), releasing a smell resembling rotten eggs. Though some people may think bad breath is not that big of a deal, it could be a symptom of a much larger, dangerous picture, such as gum disease, tooth decay, kidney disease, and much more.

When you visit our office, you will be given a full oral evaluation, looking into the current state of your teeth and reviewing your medical history. From there, we will be able to give you advice on how to handle your bad breath, and things you can do to keep it under control. Some of the things you can do is floss and brush after every meal, clean your tongue on a daily basis, and keep a record of the foods you eat throughout the week.

If you are concerned about your bad breath and feel as though we can help, make an appointment with our doctors, and we will all be able to help you begin 2014 in a fresh way!

dental benefitsBelieve it or not, but 2013 is starting to quickly come to a close. As the holidays draw nearer, we know that you’re going to be quite busy.

If a service that you need or want is covered, you’re better off to go ahead and schedule it this year. Many plans have a maximum amount of spending that is covered throughout the year. If you haven’t met this yet, then you need to schedule your appointment today.

Also, sometimes plans can offer a discount on certain procedures like crowns or fillings. Call your insurance company to make sure you know exactly what your dental benefits are for 2013 so that you can make sure you’re taking full advantage.

Healthy Eating for Your Smile

August 14, 2013

healthy eatingWhile we all know that it’s important to eat well to ensure good health, you may not have realized that what you eat can have an impact on your smile as well. When you’re trying to make healthy choices for your body, it’s also important to think about your smile as well. The staff at Grand Dental Studio has prepared some helpful tips for you to peruse so you can make better food choices.

Some foods such as sticky candies and carbonated sodas can increase your risk of tooth decay. Also, starchy foods such as soft bread and chips can become stuck between your teeth, also putting you at risk for decay. Foods that are better choices include dairy products such as cheese, milk and plain yogurt. Cheese helps to encourage saliva production, helping to reduce the amount of threat foods pose to your smile, and the calcium found in all these products helps to replenish lost minerals.

An important thing to keep in mind is limiting your snacks. When you eat between meals, you produce less saliva and there’s more of a chance that you could be left with food particles and acid in your mouth. If you do want to snack between meals, consider brushing your teeth or chewing sugarless gum when you’re done.

The food choices you make can have an impact on your smile, so choose carefully when it comes time for your next meal or snack. If you have any questions or want to learn more, please give our office a call.

Healthy Teeth Habits for Summer

June 14, 2013

summerSummer is here and it’s time for outdoor fun in the sun! Take some time this summer to care for your teeth. At Grand Dental Nichols Hills we want to make sure your smile remains healthy while you’re out and about having summer fun.

A great way to start is by coming in for your regular dental checkup. We’ll clean your teeth and check for signs of disease, damage or decay. It’s also a good time to go over brushing and flossing techniques and address any questions or concerns you might have.

Also, don’t use your teeth as tools this summer! Teeth are meant for chewing food, not for crunching on ice, tearing through packages, opening bottles, or anything else. Using teeth for functions they’re not meant to perform can lead to damage that could be costly to repair.

While sugary treats are popular during the summer, take a moment to think about your sugar and sweets consumption because that can be harmful to your smile. The same goes for sodas: if you’re going to drink them, do so with a straw to help lessen the impact on your enamel. Consider reaching for a class of water instead. Water also helps to flush your mouth and keep it healthier.

When you’re reaching for the sunscreen this summer, don’t forget to also grab the tooth brush and floss. Good dental health habits are important year round.
