Porcelain Veneers
A chipped or misshapen tooth, or a gap between teeth can keep you from feeling confident in your appearance. Dental veneers are an effective treatment that can help you put your best foot (or smile!) forward.
It’s Not Just Your Teeth That Need Attention
Spring has sprung and it’s a great time of year to freshen up your dental hygiene habits. Buy a new toothbrush or try out a whitening toothpaste to add that extra sparkle to your smile. But it’s not just your teeth that need attention, your gums need some TLC, too. According to the American Dental Hygienists’ Association, almost 75% of adults in the US have gum disease, but may not know it. Do you know what gum disease signs to look out for?
What’s True and What’s Not

Overdentures: A Secure Solution for Missing Teeth
If you wear traditional dentures and would like a more secure and convenient solution for your missing teeth, we recommend you consider implant-supported dentures, also known as overdentures, as an effective solution. At Country Club Dental, we provide overdentures for patients who are missing all their teeth, but have enough jawbone to support implants. Regular dentures simply rest on the gum, which means they require adhesives to stay in place. With overdentures, the dentures are secured into place by implants creating a strong and stable fit.
Ill Fitting Dentures?
Tooth loss due to an injury, decay or aging doesn’t have to be a permanent condition. Thanks to modern dental technology, there is a popular and effective treatment for tooth loss and replacement for loose dentures. It is a permanent, long-lasting solution offering the strongest support for replacement teeth. Click here to find out more about this life changing treatment.
When Genetics Is To Blame
No matter how well teeth are cared for, some people have genetic predispositions that put them at increased risk for some oral health problems. That doesn’t mean you should give up on brushing and flossing if tooth decay or gum disease runs in your family. Knowing that other family members have these dental problems will help you and your dentist be on alert for warning signs.
What Are You Grateful For?
We hope you are enjoying the holidays with family and friends.This is also a time of year to think about what we are grateful for, and good health is at the top of the list. Unfortunately, we can often take it for granted, which causes minor issues to lead to major health problems. One such issue that we see get out of hand in some patients is something you wouldn’t expect. Would you like to learn more so you can prevent it?
Implants Make an Impression
It’s unfortunate if you lose a tooth due to an injury or decay, but you don’t have to live your life hiding the gap in your smile. In fact, there are a variety of dental treatments that can get you back to a healthy and beautiful smile.
Dental implants are a common solution for missing teeth or teeth that are damaged beyond repair. They are a permanent long lasting solution for both, offering the strongest support for replacement teeth. What’s more, they feel and look just like natural teeth.
What do diabetes, Alzheimer’s and heart disease have in common?
What do heart disease, pregnancy complications, diabetes, and pneumonia have in common? They are all linked to oral health issues. While most people think that problems with your teeth and gums stay in your mouth, that simply isn’t the case.
Your oral health can give you clues about your overall health. The connection between both is bacteria. Without good oral hygiene, bacteria can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Since your mouth is the gateway to your digestive and respiratory tracts, leaving bacteria in your mouth untreated can lead to major health issues. Also, certain diseases can exacerbate oral health problems.
