Your smile deserves just as much care as the Granite State’s covered bridges. Avoiding regular dental check-ups and ignoring tooth pain definitely saves you time now, but it could leave you with a dental disaster down the line. Flossing every day and brushing in the morning and night can help you avoid cavities and gum disease, meaning you can enjoy rivers of maple syrup on your pancakes worry-free. Still, oral health can be hard to predict; the only way to be sure that you’re cavity-free is to see the dentist.

New Hampshire hosts dozens of state and agricultural fairs throughout the year, meaning Granite Staters have plenty of opportunities to play games, go on rides, and, of course, eat classic sweet treats. Candy apples, maple cotton candy, and even saucy barbecued ribs can lead to plaque buildup and painful cavities. Next time you head down to the fair, try swapping sugary snacks for crunchy apples. Not only is it easy to find locally grown apples, but apples actually clean your teeth as you eat them—and let's not forget that they taste amazing too. A little extra care goes a long way to keep your smile bright.

His career was fruitful, but something was missing.

He went back to school immediately to earn his dental degree. Today, Dr. Lukas enjoys working with patients of all ages and finds the combination of art and science especially interesting.

What is a dental crown?

g
gum-sealer-282

Dental crowns or caps restore the shape, size, and functionality of teeth after they have been damaged, and they offer protection from future damage. Dental crowns are a ideal options for restoring damaged teeth and are a standard of care offered at a restorative dentist. When a tooth is defective or damaged, we always hope that it can heal on its own. Unfortunately, teeth do not grow or heal or restore damaged enamel. However, your family dentist can restore a tooth with the help of a dental crown. Dental crowns are an aesthetic treatment which can protect a weak tooth from fracture or even infection, restore a damaged tooth structure, cover a dental implant, and stabilize a dental bridge in place, and they provide a natural appearance. Dental crown can recreate the shape and function of a tooth damaged by tooth decay or trauma. A dental crown is a full coverage cap that surrounds the tooth. A crown can also be used to improve the cosmetics of a smile. A crown can consist of different materials. All-metal, ceramic-on-metal, and all-ceramic are a few of these. The location of the crown in the teeth used to determine the best material to use. For example, front teeth needed to have an all-ceramic crown, if possible, since it looks the most natural. Patients may often had used ceramic-on-metal crowns since they appear natural but had the strength that only metal could provide., however, with the rise in popularity of very durable all ceramic crowns, there is little need for crowns that include metal in them. When getting a dental crown or a dental bridge installed, it is recommended that you work with a cosmetic dentist near you that has enough experience in cosmetic crowns.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
