New X-ray machine can detect cavities the eye can't detect.

We're committed to the latest in technology! Our practice is now using “Logicon”. This is a new dental software that can look at digital x-rays and find cavities that the human eye cannot detect. This means less drilling and smaller fillings.

Does brushing too hard cause gums to shrink?

"Brushing too hard causes gums to shrink and notch at the gum line". No this is the sign of an overall unhealthy mouth. While firm brushing and abrasive tooth paste can irritate gums, it's not the cause of gaps or "recessions".

Can cosmetic dentistry help avoid a face lift?

Can something be done with cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of the face, opposed to something extreme like a face lift? Yes, when the muscles, jaw joints and teeth work together in harmony, stress in the face is eliminated. The facial muscle tone and the eyes relax, rejuvenating the face.
