In the Hoosier state, a smile is everything. When you greet your neighbors, go to the grocery store, attend a PTA meeting, or do a presentation at work, a good smile and a friendly wave are your best introductions. But what happens when your smile isn’t looking or feeling its best? Oftentimes, people who experience oral health issues, such as tooth loss or gum disease, can’t smile due to pain or discomfort. They may also choose not to smile due to issues with self-consciousness. Without a pearly white smile, a Hoosier just isn’t the same! The good thing is that maintaining and improving your oral health is simple; a good daily routine and frequent visits to your dentist can make a dull smile bright. So embrace that Hoosier spirit and schedule your next dentist appointment today!

More than half of Indiana’s farmland, in a typical year, is planted in corn, making Indiana one of the biggest producers of corn in the world! Unfortunately, corn isn’t great for your oral health. Besides getting stuck in your teeth, eating corn on the cob is known to dislodge fillings, damage braces, and chip teeth! Popcorn, too, can get lodged between your teeth, leading to cavities and gum disease. Sweet corn can even wear away your enamel, leading to tooth discoloration. Despite all that, there’s no way we’ll stop eating corn! It’s just too darn tasty. So, taking care of our teeth and gums is vitally important! Whether or not you’re eating corn, always remember to brush and floss twice a day, balance your fluoride intake, and visit your dentist at least twice a year. For more information on maintaining and improving your oral health, contact your dentist.

    Today was my first time as a patient at Optima Family Dental in Chicago. I’ve gone with my child and wife when they had some work done, but I hadn’t been there for myself until today. Even before I was a patient, they’ve always been so friendly and gave me a big smile every time they saw me. Dr. Yoseph-Anhar and his staff are efficient and will tell you whatever’s happening in your mouth. They made sure they answered all my questions before doing anything. I had a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to go back for my 6-month follow-up appointment!

    I’ve been seeing Dr. Raghian in Winnetka Dental Care for a few years, and I’ll admit, from the doctor to the staff, this office is incredible! They really set the bar high with their level and quality of care and service. I used to dread my dentist appointments, but I actually look forward to coming here and interacting with the staff. The environment is always very comfortable, and it’s like visiting with family. My dental hygienist is great at her job! She takes excellent care of my teeth without any hassle, and she’s really patient and thorough. Thanks for the great conversation and high-quality work - keep doing what you’re doing! I strongly recommend this office to anyone in Winnetka. When I think of a positive dental experience, this place instantly comes to mind. I’m so grateful for every one of you - anyone who doesn’t come here is really missing out on this great dentist office!

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.
