The holidays are always a special The holidays are always a special time. It carries with it hustle and time. It carries with it hustle and bustle and moments to slow down and think about the things that we are grateful for. We enjoy examining our lives and what’s important to us. Even when the normality of the new year returns, we try to keep this top-of-mind.

Our passion for dentistry gives us one of the greatest joys in the world, allowing us to make a positive difference in the lives of our patients. We also appreciate every member of our team and the unique gifts they bring to our practice. But gifts they bring to our practice. But what makes all this possible is you, what makes all this possible is you, our patients. Without your loyalty, our patients. Without your loyalty, support, and friendship, the rest support, and friendship, the rest wouldn’t matter.

If the conspicuous black triangles that have opened up between your teeth are closing down your smile, it’s time to take some bold action. Whether your gums have receded due to gum disease, brushing too hard, or tooth loss that your ageing restorations just can’t hide, designer dentistry can open the door to a younger, revitalized – and smiling – you.

Here are some leading-edge cosmetic solutions we can provide.

Restore gums that have receded and prematurely aged your appearance. When the gums draw back, your teeth can appear much longer. Once exposed, sensitive root surfaces are susceptible to caries and can turn hot or cold foods and drinks into an endurance test. With time,

your teeth can loosen because as the gum recedes, so does the supporting bone.

Prevent or Camouflage visibly sunken gums caused by missing teeth. This unsightly outcome of gum and bone loss can be apparent around the edges of your older restorations. Replace them with modern, natural-looking crowns, bridges, or permanent implants that prevent bone loss as well as rejuvenate your appearance.

Sculpt your smile to make short teeth look longer and create symmetry in an uneven gumline. You may have perfectly healthy gums and teeth, but the radiance of your smile can be overshadowed by an excessive or uneven amount of gum tissue that can be permanently corrected.

Plugged In Or UnpluggedWhich are you?1. Electric toothbrushes with timers can help you to brush as long as you should (2 or 3 minutes).

2. Electric brushes with pressure sensors signal to prevent you from brushing too hard.

3. Whether you use a manual or electric toothbrush, you need to be gentle with your gums.

4. The ideal manual brush has soft rounded-tip nylon bristles.

5. Hard and medium bristles can cause irreversible damage to the gums which can lead to receding gumlines and exposed roots.

6. Worn bristles clean about 30% less effectively and provide a breeding ground for bacteria.

7. Replace your toothbrush every 2 or 3 months.

8. Remember, neither manual nor electric brushes can replace flossing.

9. The most important part of home dental care is regular brushing with your preferred toothbrush, combined with daily flossing.

Set Your Sights On HealthEasy does it!

Eco-gastronomy. Yummy. Tired of life in the fast lane and fast, fast food? The Slow Food Movement was created to counteract exactly that, in the belief that the food we eat should taste good and be produced in a clean, environmentally friendly way. Protecting the heritage of local foods, tradition, and culture means that pleasurable dining – along with oral and overall health – can be yours for the asking.

No wonder that today the Slow Food Movement has spread from Italy to 132 countries. Celebrations of gastronomic and biological diversity are held in exciting and exotic centers like Turin, Toronto, and San Francisco.

Whether you travel the world or visit your local Farmer’s Market… slow down. See the sights. Savor the incredible aromas and fl avors of just-ripe just-picked and oh-so-good-for-you slow foods.Winner Takes All!

Turn dreary into dramaticYou’ve stepped out of your comfort zone – now step up to the winner’s

circle! You’ve been challenging yourself to improve, to take better care of your health and your appearance, and now it’s all about the possibilities. Whitening, bonding, and veneers can add sizzle to your smile and fortify your renewed and well-earned confidence.

After all, it only makes sense – the more life you live, the more your smile does! Enamel tends to darken and yellow over time, particularly if you... consume coffee, tea, red wine, or dark fruits and juices; use tobacco products.

Take charge again…Brighten your teeth by up to eight shades quickly, reliably, and safely. Camouflage more serious staining with bonding and correct chips, gaps,

and other smile flaws at the same time!Say goodbye to old silver fillings with bonding materials matched to

your enamel or with beautiful porcelain inlays or onlays.

Go even more dramatic with beautiful natural-looking porcelain veneers that can… Make your teeth stronger, whiter, and more resistant to plaque-causing

bacteria; Restore symmetry and proportion to receded gums or re-sculpt the

shape of your teeth; Disguise crowded or overlapped teeth without braces.

Victory is sooo sweet. You do deserve a reward today – call us for your cosmetic consultation.
