December Is a Good Time To See Your Dentist

With the holiday season in full swing, it’s easy to get too busy to keep up with your oral hygiene routine or keep up with your regularly scheduled dentist appointments. However, with the end of the year quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to visit your dentist in San Jose and have your dental health evaluated before the end of the year. Treatments are more affordable when paid for in cash as opposed to dealing with dental insurance deductibles and copays, which can make treatment an unattainable expense for most people. Additionally, missing dental treatments at the end of the year can complicate any insurance claims you may have filed for that year. If you’ve put off necessary treatments like dental implants or a root canal, scheduling an appointment before the new year rolls around will allow you to take advantage of these benefits and get your smile ready for the new year!

Restorative Work During Year-End

It’s a busy season for everyone, including your dentist! While it’s great to take a little break throughout the holiday season, you still need to take care of and keep up with your oral hygiene routine. Taking the necessary time during appointments is even more important during the holiday season to help ensure that your routine stays on track. That means scheduling a dentist appointment in December for your restorative work may be needed to ensure you’re prepared for the new year ahead.

Restorative treatments include fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and more. Dental procedures like these help to restore your oral health and get you back to proper oral function as soon as possible. Since many people take breaks during the holidays, it’s more important than ever to take the time to take care of your teeth during this time. Preventive care is especially important when it comes to avoiding cavities and other oral health problems that could potentially ruin your holidays. Fillings and other preventative dental procedures can help to ensure that doesn’t happen. By taking care of it now, you can ensure that next year is a happy and healthy one.

Whether you’ve been putting off getting that filling or crown for what seems like forever, or you have some catching up to do from skipping a few dentist appointments this year, calling to schedule your next appointment is a great first step.

Cosmetic Dentistry For Holiday Season

Your dentist in San Jose can provide a number of cosmetic treatments to keep your teeth looking and feeling great this holiday season and for years to come. Take a look at some of the services your cosmetic dentist may recommend this year or any time you want to look and feel your best.

Whitening: A whiter smile can make you look younger and fresher than you have in years. There are a variety of methods that can be used to whiten your smile, including take-home whitening kits that you wear for a few hours each day until your smile has reached the right shade.

Fillings: If you suffer from tooth decay, then your dentist can fill in the decayed area with a filling made from composite resin material. This material is the same color as your tooth enamel, so it blends right in with your smile and is invisible to others. Plus, this material bonds directly to your tooth, making it stronger and more permanent than other types of fillings, such as silver amalgam.

Veneers: If you have multiple issues of concern with the appearance of your smile, then veneers may be the best option for you. These thin porcelain shells are placed over the front of your teeth to cover cracks, chips, discolorations, and other flaws. And because they’re stain-resistant, you can continue to eat whatever foods you want without any worry of staining them.

Dental Implants: Missing teeth can make it difficult for you to feel confident when smiling and speaking with others. Fortunately, dental implants are a great solution for those with missing teeth. You can replace a single tooth or an entire arch of teeth with an implant. They look just like natural teeth, so no one will be able to tell that you have an implant. Plus, they’re permanently fixed in place, so there is no need to worry about slipping dentures or other issues.
