Dentists are always discussing the importance of good oral health habits to avoid the development of cavities and gum disease. But what is gum disease, and how does it affect the smile? How do you reduce the risk of periodontal disease? And how can it be diagnosed and treated if it develops? Drs. Zach Korwin and Gary Toubman of Cedar Mountain Dental in Newington, CT are pleased to offer patients services to achieve and maintain healthy smiles free from decay and disease.

Improving the appearance of the smile is often a desire for many Newington, CT area patients. At Cedar Mountain Dental, Drs. Zach Korwin and Gary Toubman often work with individuals who are faced with imperfections on the teeth near the front of the smile. These teeth, known as the “anterior teeth,” may be stained, broken, or gapped. To treat these concerns, many patients consider the use of porcelain veneers.

While dental floss is an effective way to remove food from between the teeth and improve overall dental health, it can also be tricky to use correctly. Some patients may also find it to be difficult to manage. However, thanks to continued advances in dentistry, patients can now enjoy another option that can provide a variety of benefits: a Waterpik water flosser.

Patients who have full denture will require time to get adjusted to their new dental prosthetic.

When patients are faced with misalignment of the teeth, they often cringe at the idea of bringing up their concerns with a dentist for fear of being told they require braces. Braces, or orthodontia, is a method of repositioning the teeth in the smile to create a more aligned dental arch. This may be done not only for cosmetic reasons, but to address poor bite alignment and issues such as overcrowding, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Cedar Mountain Dental encourages patients to speak to the dentist about orthodontic options as many of our patients can enjoy a more discreet alternative known as Invisalign.
