Does My Dentist Care About My Diet

March 24, 2023 by PM Blogger

In this post from ColemanDental in Houston TX, we are focusing on your dental health. The typical American diet tends to be high in calories. And while this is a good thing, as everyone needs energy, it’s also important to make sure you’re receiving the important nutrients your body needs.

When we eat healthy, we improve not just our overall health, but our dental health as well! The tissues in our mouth remain healthy, the jaw stays strong, and teeth last a lifetime.

A few years ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture unveiled the MyPlate graphic to illustrate a healthy diet. Half of our meals should be composed of fruits and vegetables, and the rest should be equally divided between lean protein, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.

This will not only ensure that your body remains in balance, but will also benefit your oral health. But how?

When we consume healthy, non-sugary fruits, instead of candy or soda, we are making sure that the gum-line stays fresh and free of acids. As if that weren’t enough reason to keep a healthy diet, the calcium in low-fat dairy products can strengthen the jaw bone while keeping the gums free of fats and sugars. Likewise, lean protein and whole grains provide even, non-starchy surfaces, so your teeth are not subjected to any coarseness.

At ColemanDental in Houston TX, we want all our patients to have good dental and overall health. Patients from Memorial Villages and Tanglewood come to us for complete family and Sedation Dentistry Contact us today!

Look Younger By Straightening Your Teeth

March 17, 2023 by PM Blogger

Today’s article is for individuals in their golden years who want to upgrade their smile by straightening their teeth.

There are many perks to retirement. Waking up whenever you dang well please. Time to devote to your favorite hobbies or humanitarian causes. Traveling. Grandchildren.

Braces Aren’t Just For Teens

It’s not all a picnic, however. Many older men and women have health problems, limited mobility, and financial concerns. Though some issues can’t be avoided, others can. Crooked teeth, for instance.

Could Your Smile Benefit From Adult Braces?

Orthodontics can correct all types of tooth alignment issues. Overbite? Gap between your two front teeth? Crowded teeth?

With modern orthodontics at Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, older men and women can have a phenomenal smile that looks as young as they feel.

Let’s discuss some orthodontic options.

Self-ligating Braces

Traditional braces have brackets and an archwire. The brackets are mounted to the teeth and the archwire is attached to the brackets. With self-ligating braces, the archwire is connected to the brackets with a spring clip. This replaces the plastic color band necessary with conventional metal braces.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear aligners instead of metal or ceramic brackets. With Invisalign aligners, you switch aligners every couple of weeks as your teeth gently shift into place.

How can straightening crooked teeth benefit you in your golden years?

We all know that a an attractive smile improves one’s appearance. Everyone wants to look more attractive. However, the benefits aren’t purely aesthetic.

You are less likely to snore if your teeth are aligned properly
They feel good when you rub your tongue over them!
You are less likely to experience periodontitis (advanced gum disease)
Straight teeth can restrict cavities
You are less likely to feel tooth pain due to displacement or misalignment

Braces + Tooth Implants for a Complete Smile Makeover

Regardless of your age, it is not too late to improve your smile–even if you have some missing teeth. Braces combined with dental implant procedures can transform a smile.

If you would like to consider teeth straightening, I invite you to schedule an adult braces consultation.

Let’s Talk About Your Smile

Let’s Talk About Your Smile

How do you like your smile? At ColemanDental in Houston TX, we know it’s easy to be your own worst critic. But we also know lots of people don’t care for one aspect or another of their smile. We can improve any smile with cosmetic dentistry.

Maybe you have a tooth that’s been chipped since middle school, or a gap between your front teeth that’s been there since forever. Or maybe your smile has grown dull and yellow over the years.

Popular Procedures

There are cosmetic dentistry procedures that can address just about any smile issue you might have.

Porcelain veneers. Thin shells of medical-grade porcelain are designed to fit over the front side of your teeth. They’ll hide chips, cracks, gaps, and other flaws. They’re custom-made to your teeth, look totally natural, and leave you with a great new smile.

Bonding. Bonding is another way to correct any flaws in your teeth. A special material is bonded to a tooth, and shaped to create a strong structure that looks fabulous.

Crowns. Dental crowns are fitted over teeth that are discolored or in need of restoring due to damage or decay. They are long-lasting and strong.

Whitening. Teeth whitening is an easy, popular procedure that lightens the color of your teeth. The same whitening agents found in whitening toothpastes, but at much higher concentrations, bleach out years of stains and other discolorations and give you a dazzling smile.

Dental implants. Dental implants replace missing teeth. A titanium post is inserted into the jaw and fuses with the bone. An artificial tooth goes on top. Implants look and function like natural teeth.

At ColemanDental in Houston TX, our cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile into something special. People from Memorial Villages and Tanglewood also come to our practice for general dentistry and implants. Call to schedule an appointment with us today!

Total Tooth Restoration

Total Tooth Restoration

Cosmetic dentistry is really coming into its own. Trend-watchers say that more and more people are choosing it every day to restore their teeth and improve their smiles, with the procedures available at ColemanDental in Houston TX.

We all want to look our best. But cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about looking good; it is good for your dental health. For example, straight teeth in the correct position are easier to care for, and make for a healthier mouth. That probably explains why clear braces are among the most popular cosmetic dentistry options; they can straighten your teeth, and are almost undetectable as you wear them.

Clear braces are not, of course, the only cosmetic dentistry option. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular procedures out there. A lot of people try to get whiter teeth at home, and there is a nearly bewildering selection of over-the-counter whitening products on the market. But none of them – not toothpastes, strips, or gels – can match the power of professional-grade teeth whitening.

Also in demand are porcelain veneers. They can completely transform the appearance of your smile, and like other cosmetic dentistry, are minimally invasive. A thin layer of tooth enamel is removed before veneers are permanently attached to your teeth. After that, you’ve got a mega-watt smile.

These and other cosmetic dentistry procedures from ColemanDental in Houston TX can restore your beautiful smile! Find out why people from Memorial Villages and Tanglewood trust us with their smiles! We also offer complete general dentistry. Contact us today!

Are All Carbs Created Equal?

January 30, 2023 by PM Blogger

Diet Changes For Healthier Teeth In Fort Collins

Most people know that the sugar in candy, cookies, juices and sodas can harm your teeth, but some people don’t realize that all carbohydrates can cause cavities. As we will describe in this post from ColemanDental in Houston TX, a handful of pretzels or a piece of pumpernickel bread can have the same effect on your teeth as a fudge brownie.

All carbohydrates break down into simple sugars, which are converted into plaque, which can then cause cavities and gum disease. Carbs are naturally sticky and adhere to your teeth. Eating carbs with meals is healthier than eating them as snacks because more saliva is generated at mealtime. Saliva helps prevent food particles from sticking to teeth.

Another way people can improve their oral health is to get plenty of calcium: 800mg a day for men and 1,000mg for women under 50. Calcium helps strengthen your jaw and secure your teeth firmly in the jaw bone.

At ColemanDental in Houston TX we want all our patients to enjoy clean teeth and healthy smiles. Our services include general and restorative dentistry. People from Memorial Villages and Tanglewood also come to us for cosmetic dentistry. Contact us today!

2023 Is The Year To Replace Missing Teeth

December 30, 2022 by chanakya

If you or someone you care about lost a tooth this year, but haven’t yet dealt with the issue, ColemanDental in Houston TX suggests a consultation with our dental implant team immediately.

Why the rush? Though your missing tooth might not be an aesthetic issue now – maybe it’s far enough back that the gap is not visible, or perhaps you don’t mind a sort of rugged look – it could very well become one in the future.

When we lose a tooth, the root and jaw bone eventually atrophy. This causes neighboring teeth to begin to shift into the empty spaces, causing misalignment and pain. Worse, it causes your facial features to take on a “sunken” look; especially round the cheeks.

Dental implants are the best way to avoid this, as they protect and stimulate the remaining teeth, keeping them in place and bolstering their strength. The good news is that dental implants and their associated restorations mimic natural enamel perfectly, so nobody will be able to tell that you’ve achieved your New Year’s resolution early this coming year!

If you’ve been dreaming of a more complete smile for years, 2023 is the time to do it and ColemanDental in Houston TX can help! We offer implants and complete cosmetic dentistry, and serve patients in Memorial Villages and Tanglewood. Call us today!

Dental Implant Success: The Odds Are In Your Favor

November 18, 2022 by chanakya

People thinking about replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant from ColemanDental in Houston TX usually want to know about implant success rate. It’s a good question. In case you are unfamiliar with dental implants, we’ll describe them.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a metal post that acts as a replacement tooth root. The implant is inserted into the jaw and within a few months, fuses with the bone. Implants provide a solid foundation for an artificial tooth, bridge, or dental arch.

Dental implants:

Are strong and immovable
Blend perfectly with your natural teeth
Help you speak and eat normally
Prevent bone loss that can arise when a tooth is extracted
Prevent issues associated with dentures

Evaluating Dental Implant Success Rates

One of the remarkable things about dental implants is their success rate, which is greater than ninety percent. They don’t fail often, but even if they do, we help treat implant failures all the time. So either way, you’re covered!

Implants are usually made from titanium, which is very compatible with the human body. Cases of rejection are rare. As good as their success rate is, researchers predict that in the future it will be even higher.

No wonder these restorative wonders have been hailed as one of the greatest advances in dentistry! At ColemanDental in Houston TX, dental implants have restored countless smiles. People from Memorial Villages and Tanglewood come to us for complete cosmetic dentistry. Call us today!
