Start Your Cosmetic Path With A Checkup

Posted by

Smile CC IAPatients can find difficulty beginning their cosmetic dental journey. If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone in this struggle. When smile issues start to gather, you might find it to be overwhelming. For this reason, one of the most helpful ways of starting your cosmetic dentistry is with a routine cleaning and examination. This approach can help you to first take stock of your dental needs. Know what you are trying to improve before you start making changes. Without proper guidance, you might reach immediately to over-the-counter products that might not even be intended for your issue.

A checkup from Central Park Dentistry in Charles City, IA can serve as the foundation for your cosmetic path. Discuss all aspects of your smile that are causing you trouble. If it helps, you might want to write these down or keep a note in your phone. The more information your provider has, the more they can help. Make your improvement the right way with the help of a quality dentist! (more…)

You Snoring Could Be A Symptom

Posted by

Sleep CC IAIf your significant other or your loved ones have pointed out your problem snoring, do not dismiss their concerns. While snoring is not a significant medical concern for many, for some it can be a sign of something more. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the body relaxes too much during sleep. The throat softens too much and when the airway becomes blocked by this tissue, it can become a serious issue!

Bruxism is another prevalent overnight concern that can contribute to lasting dental harm. This term refers to the grinding of teeth overnight. The jaw collision can create distinct localized damage to the enamel through wear. This motion can be strong enough to even crack your tooth. Shifts to your alignment often occur as a result of your overnight jaw activity. At Central Park Dentistry in Charles City, IA, we offer custom night guards to help you through the night. Rest easy with these comfortable sleep appliances that work to maintain your health while you dream! (more…)

What Protection Does A Dental Filling Offer?

Posted by

Dental work that addresses decay needs to provide lasting support for teeth. This is because a cavity, even one that is caught early, will do permanent harm to your enamel. Our Charles City, IA dentist’s office can respond to this in different ways. For those cavities that are caught in time, we can provide care with dental fillings. These provide conservative solutions that preserve much of your tooth structure. They only need to cover spaces where bacteria caused decay to form; with a composite resin substance, we can provide that coverage while preserving how you look! We can also offer lifelike results if you find yourself in need of a dental crown for support. (more…)
