Do you feel that the benefits of teeth whitening go beyond the cosmetic? We do, and at Atrium Family Dental in New Lenox, IL we are more than happy to go over the many benefits of teeth whitening with patients eager to have the most appealing smiles possible.

Let’s consider the key benefits of teeth whitening to demonstrate just why anyone will want to consider some tooth whitening today:

It forces you to get your teeth and gums into their best health – Though we are dedicated to cosmetic dentistry for our patients’ needs, we don’t do any cosmetic work unless all of their dental issues have been addressed. If you have decay or damage, we want to ensure it goes no farther before we whiten the teeth. So, one of the most immediate benefits of teeth whitening is that you will have it done only when your mouth is optimally healthy!

What are the benefits of dentures? Many of us hesitate to even consider them simply because we have outdated ideas about them. It is why patients of Atrium Family Dental in New Lenox, IL will have dentures offered to them as part of a plan for restorative dentistry.

After all, dentures are not always “full” and can be what are known as “partials”. If you are hesitating to discuss dentures, remember that partials are a wonderful answer to a long list of issues. However, this is only one of the minor benefits of dentures. Let’s consider the rest:

They are made specifically to your needs – There is no such thing as a general set of dentures. They are custom-made from long-lasting and comfortable materials to fit your gum specifically. They are not your “grandparents” dentures but are instead well-fitting and often so comfortable and secure that you can eat without removing them.

3 Tips to Better Oral Health

July 11, 2016

Filed under: General Dentistry,Health — Tags: , — atriumfamily @ 10:53 pm

Everyone knows to brush twice a day,  and to floss.  But here are 3 tips to better oral health.  And, you can start today.

  1.  Change out your toothbrush.  Try changing your toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if your toothbrush bristles are frayed.  According to the ADA this is a very good practice.
  2.  Reduce your stress.  We know that stress is hard on your mental and physical health, but think about this…when we get stressed out, we tend to bite our nails or grind our teeth or even clench up our mouths.  Try deep breathing.  Just a few deep breaths can help your overall oral health.
  3. Change up your diet.  Stop drinking sugary sodas and sports drinks.  Load up on nutrient rich veggies and fruits.

These 3 tips should kick-start you into better overall oral health.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Filed under: Dental Bridges,Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , — atriumfamily @ 12:00 pm

It is too bad that so many people overlook dental bridges as a workable and beneficial solution to some missing teeth. They are not false teeth and they are not implants. Instead, they are sort of hybrid, and the benefits of dental bridges are profound. Patients of Atrium Family Dental in New Lenox, IL can discuss any restorative dentistry needs they might have and find out if dental bridges are a workable solution.

So, what are the different benefits of dental bridges? They are actually extensive and include:

They prevent your natural teeth from shifting – While a crooked smile may not seem like a big issue, among the key benefits of dental bridges is that they force the teeth to hold their original positions. This keeps your bite in total alignment, preventing the development of issues like TMJ (a jaw issue that causes serious pain), bruxism (grinding of the teeth) or damages sustained with teeth begin to meet in a totally different way.
