Sometimes, people put off dental care or have aesthetic issues they always mean to address but never get around to booking their consultation.
At Oak Tree Dentistry, we’re committed to your oral health, but we also want to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Our dentists in Elk Grove or Lodi, CA, are currently accepting new patients and booking cosmetic dentistry consultations for the new year!
Oral Health Goals
Some people set New Year’s resolutions to help them achieve success or happiness. Often, these resolutions don’t last. But if you’re committed to changing and improving your oral health, this is one resolution worth keeping!
Oral health goals for the new year might include any of the following:
Visiting the Dentist More Often
Most insurance plans cover twice-yearly checkups and teeth cleanings, but many patients don’t take advantage of these benefits. (Our own in-office membership plan includes twice-yearly preventive services!)
The American Dental Association and most dentists recommend the twice-yearly preventive schedule to lower your risks for conditions like tooth decay and gum disease.
Checkups also include an oral cancer screening and periodic x-rays for early detection.
We would love to see patients adopt better prevention for their long-term oral health.
Improving on Brushing and Flossing
Ideally, you should brush and floss your teeth after every meal, but that’s not always possible. Alternatively, you can brush your teeth twice daily and try to floss at least once.
Pledging to practice better oral hygiene in the new year is a plus because it helps prevent many oral health conditions, including gum disease.
Gum disease is concerning because it can lead to tooth loss and compromise your overall wellness. Studies have linked it to heart complications, lung issues, diabetes, and more.
Restoring Broken Teeth
Broken teeth may be unsightly, but they also risk oral health. Broken teeth can continue to crumble or crack until they can no longer be saved. Additionally, they leave you vulnerable to painful infections of the inner tooth canals.
Restoring broken teeth is typically straightforward and can mean a world of difference for your oral health and emotional outlook.
Replacing Missing Teeth
Have you spent years being too embarrassed by missing teeth to smile? Do you have difficulty enjoying your favorite foods? Tooth replacement is both aesthetic and part of general dental care.
So, pledge to book a tooth replacement consultation with one of our dentists this coming year.
We are pleased to offer dental implants, bridges, and dentures in Lodi and Elk Grove, CA.
Aesthetic Goals for the New Year
Cosmetic dentistry goals for the new year can change your outlook and boost your confidence. And some cosmetic options also improve your oral health.
Cosmetic dentistry options for the new year may include:
Dental Veneers
Our Hollywood-caliber dental veneers can transform your smile, concealing everything from gummy smiles to tooth flaws, discoloration, slightly crooked teeth, and short teeth.
Tooth-Colored Restorations
Tooth-colored restorations treat oral health conditions like broken teeth and tooth decay aesthetically. Our tooth-colored options include dental crowns and tooth-colored fillings.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an inexpensive way to conceal general tooth flaws. Bonding is achieved with tooth-colored resin, the material used to make white fillings.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening can take years off your smile and remove stubborn tooth stains. Are you ready for a whiter, brighter smile for the new year?
Invisible Braces
Invisible braces improve your bite while straightening your teeth. No metal. No brackets. Just clear, discreet tooth aligners.
Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers in Elk Grove and Lodi are about correcting multiple issues using various options. For your smile makeover, your dentist carefully plans treatments to work on a timeframe that meets your needs. We also review the options with you to help you decide where to take your smile!
