Preventative Maintenance For Your Irreplaceable Smile In Gainesville GA

Preventative Maintenance For Your Irreplaceable Smile In Gainesville

Hi, I’m Dr. Joseph Weber of Weber Family Dental. If you are one of my existing general dentistry patients, welcome back. If this is your first visit, I appreciate you stopping by.

My warm and friendly team and I love taking care of our Gainesville GA area patients.

Today’s article is for Gainesville GA area people who are overdue for a cleaning and exam.

During dental deep cleanings, our hygienists thoroughly remove the plaque and tartar above and below the gumline. By scaling and planing, they remove areas where bacteria can easily multiply. If you are due for a cleaning, call us today at 678.928.9320
to schedule.

After your teeth have been cleaned, I perform a thorough examination. I check for overall tooth and gum health, the presence of cavities, gum pocket depth, bite issues, and signs of oral cancer.

Some Gainesville GA people mistakenly believe that they can skip visits with their family dentist if they don’t notice anything out of the ordinary. This attitude is risky. Many dental problems advance silently. When the patient experiences pain, much damage has been done. Gum disease, especially, often progresses unnoticed.

If you don’t have dental insurance, ask us about dental financing options. It costs far less to prevent problems than to treat them after they have become severe.

If you perform regular auto maintenance, you understand the wisdom of prevention. Don’t you value your smile far more than your car? Call Weber Family Dental today to schedule preventative maintenance for your irreplaceable smile.

Weber Family Dental Treats Cankers Sores, Lesions, and Fever Blisters

Weber Family Dental Treats Cankers Sores Lesions and Fever Blisters

At Weber Family Dental, one of the most common complaints we hear from Gainesville GA general dentistry patients is problems with mouth sores.

There are many different kinds of oral lesions which can make eating and talking painful. Some are annoying yet harmless, while other sores are more serious and require medical intervention.

Though not contagious, the most common complaint is canker sores, which affect an estimated eighty percent of the Gainesville GA population. Canker sores can be attributed to stress, tissue irritation, or acidic foods. Dr. Joseph Weber can prescribe a topical dental paste to relieve pain and guard against infection. Recurring canker sores can sometimes be a symptom of a larger health problem.

Another common complaint is fever blisters or cold sores, which are contagious fluid-filled blisters. Gainesville GA cold sore sufferers should be aware that they can become infected. At Weber Family Dental, we advise our patients on how to treat cold sores and avoid further breakouts.

Fungal infections and oral cancer can cause sores in the mouth and throat. See your Gainesville GA family dentist if you experience any of the following:

Lumps or discolored patches in the mouth lasting longer than three weeks
Unusually large lesions
Multiple sores

Dr. Joseph Weber reminds patients that eating a well balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and not smoking can all aid in oral health and hygiene.

To schedule an appointment, or ask about other oral concerns, contact Weber Family Dental today at 678.928.9320.

Full Mouth Reconstruction in Gainesville GA

January 20, 2012
Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 9:27 am under Dental Implants

Athens Dental Implants Dental techniques and materials have advanced to a point where total and near-total mouth reconstruction is possible right here in the Gainesville GA area.

Unlike conventional removable dentures, extensive mouth reconstruction involves strong, functional and aesthetically pleasing teeth with roots permanently anchored into the jaw bone.

You have probably heard around Gainesville GA about dental implants; the tooth replacement option that is, in most cases, the best possible replacement for a missing tooth. Dental implants have been used in Gainesville GA for many years to replace one or two missing teeth. However, they can also provide a structure for dental crowns, bridges, and anchored dentures that replace nearly every tooth in the mouth!

Every Gainesville GA area smile makeover patient requires a somewhat unique combination of cosmetic dental procedures, but let’s talk about a hypothetical case involving several restorations:

‘Linda’ was a 52 year-old Gainesville GA patient with a mouthful of problems. She was missing most of her back teeth on both her upper and lower arch. Four of her front teeth were chipped and her gums had eroded revealing the metal bases of two old crowns.

To restore a beautiful, strong and youthful-looking smile, she would receive dental implants to anchor partial dentures for her upper and lower back teeth. After soft tissue grafts, her front teeth would receive a combination of porcelain veneers and crowns.

The result? A stunning smile, renewed confidence and no more slipping dentures!

    Keep Teeth Healthy During Pregnancy

    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 10:27 am under Family Dentist

    Dental Cleanings During Pregnancy If you are pregnant, your oral health may be the last thing on your mind. However, many Gainesville GA women experience an increase in general dentistry problems during pregnancy. This article contains important information for expectant Gainesville GA mothers and those planning to become pregnant.

    Dr. Joseph Weber recommends having a thorough dental cleaning early in your pregnancy. Lying in a dentist’s chair can be uncomfortable during the last trimester. A professional cleaning performed by one of the skilled dental hygienists at Weber Family Dental, along with diligent brushing and flossing, helps prevent gum problems that are often triggered by hormonal changes. The American Dental Association has found a positive correlation between gum disease and preterm deliveries and low birth weight.

    If you are currently pregnant and have sore, swollen or bleeding gums, schedule an appointment today by calling 678.928.9320. Once the baby is here, it will probably be harder for you to make time for a family dentistry visit.

    If you receive dental treatment at Weber Family Dental during your pregnancy, be sure to inform Dr. Joseph Weber that you are expecting. This will affect decisions about X-rays, pain relievers, antibiotics, and sedation dentistry.

    Hormonal changes cause an increase in plague production which can lead to decay. If you are eating many small meals during the day, take care to brush after eating. If you avoid sweet snacks, your teeth will be less likely to develop cavities.

    Remember, your oral care, nutrition and lifestyle affect your baby. It is essential that you eat a healthy diet with a variety of foods. A poor diet can harm your baby’s tooth and bone development. Be sure to get enough calcium, iron, vitamins A, D and C, protein, and phosphorus. Your Gainesville GA Ob/Gyn can give you specific recommendations for your age, height, weight and medical conditions.

    At Weber Family Dental, we take special care of our clients who are expecting.

    Total Tooth Restoration

    Total Tooth Restoration Your face is always on display for others to see. You can’t hide it behind long sleeves or baggy jeans, and a hat won’t hide it away on a sleep-in Saturday.

    Many lucky Gainesville GA residents who have received smile makeovers at Weber Family Dental believe their dazzling new smile brightens their whole face. Some local professionals have corrected tooth problems prior to beginning a search for new employment.

    A beautiful smile is essential to a polished appearance. Gainesville GA cosmetic dentistry is not just for people in the public eye, it is for anyone who desires a youthful looking smile.

    Gainesville GA teeth whitening is quicker and more popular than ever. Some of our cosmetic dental clients invest in total teeth restoration because they have always been self-conscious about chips, gaps or crooked teeth.

    Cosmetic dental treatment may consist of dental bonding, dental implants, dental bridges, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening or a combination.

    If you are unfamiliar with the latest materials and procedures, see smile makeover expert Dr. Joseph Weber for a cosmetic dental consultation. Some transformations are completed in just one visit! And don’t forego a new smile because you are afraid of dental treatment. Nervous Gainesville GA cosmetic dental clients can wake up to a new smile with oral conscious sedation dentistry.

    It is never too late to get a movie-star smile!

    Gainesville GA Residents Visit the Dentist

    December 30, 2011
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 12:02 pm under General Dentistry

    Gainesville, Georgia Residents Visit the Dentist Whether you have lived in Gainesville GA for a long time, or just moving in to the area; taking care of your teeth eventually involves a visit to the dentist. We are Weber Family Dental located at 1146 S Enota Dr NE in Gainesville GA, and our specialty is cosmetic dentistry.

    You can reach Weber Family Dental by calling 678.928.9320.

    Going to the dentist for the first time in Gainesville GA, or if you have not been for while, can be an unsettling experience for both kids and adults. The very idea of a ‘dentist’ seems to hold negative connotation for many people. If you are an adult who is moving to the Gainesville GA area, or your child is preparing to visit the family dentist for the first time, here are a few tips that may help ease you into regular dental checkups and put you on the path toward increased oral health and wellness.

    Choose a Gainesville GA dentist who is appropriate for your needs. When you meet your new general dentist for the first time, make an effort to ask questions about the care you will receive. Ask questions that are relevant to your situation including questions about experience, age range of patients, and recommended procedures for any conditions you may have. Get to know your Gainesville GA dentist so you feel comfortable with the care you will receive. It’s also important to get to know the office staff. Visiting the dentist will seem less of a chore when you feel you have trusted friends who are there to help.

    Be prepared to provide your Gainesville GA dentist with information. Whether you are experiencing specific pain at that moment, or anticipating a problem, be sure to discuss everything with your dentist. Many patients become intimidated in the office environment and avoid expressing pain or discussing issues. As your dentist, I need to know everything you are experiencing and will be better prepared to help as you ask questions and express your concerns.

    I understand that everyone is unique; what works for one person may not work for another. You know what works best for you, and the best way to have a good experience with a Gainesville GA cosmetic dentist is to communicate. Let me know what you are experiencing so that I can make adjustments and help you feel more comfortable and secure.

    At Weber Family Dental, our warm and friendly staff will work to make your dental experience a pleasant one. We know it can be frightening to visit the dentist for the first time, or after a long while. We’ll do what we can to make you feel comfortable, secure, and among caring friends.

    If you are in Gainesville GA and are ready to visit the dentist again, give us a call at 678.928.9320, or stop by to see us; we’re excited to meet you.

    Bright Smiles In Gainesville GA

    December 16, 2011
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 10:06 am under Cosmetic Dentistry

    Bright Smiles In Norcross

    Hello Gainesville GA! Do you want brighter, whiter teeth? Most Gainesville GA folks notice their teeth dulling as the years go by, but some foods, drinks, and even mouthwashes can stain teeth at any age.

    OTC tooth whitening products like kits, strips, or toothpastes may slightly lighten stains, but for a truly brilliant smile, Dr. Joseph Weber can help!

    If you have dental veneers, bonding, or bridges, teeth whitening bleach will not lighten the stains and your whitened natural teeth will make your dental work look even duller in comparison. At Weber Family Dental, we can recommend new restorative dentistry, including veneers or bondings, if these have aged and discolored.

    Remember, anything that can stain a white tee shirt can stain teeth.

    Fortunately, brushing after meals can keep stains at bay, however with acidic foods or drinks, just rinse your mouth with water. Brushing right away can erode enamel, causing thinner teeth as we age.

    Gainesville GA in-office Zoom whitening takes about an hour and bleaches teeth to a whiter-than-ever brilliance. Professional take-home whitening kits are also available at Weber Family Dental and can produce the best results over time.

    For more information on getting a younger and brighter smile, contact our warm and friendly staff for a smile brightening consultation today!

    Weber Family Dental Guide To Healthy Tooth Enamel

    December 9, 2011
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 12:01 pm under Dental Health

    Weber Family Dental Guide To Healthy Tooth Enamel

    Here at Weber Family Dental, we want your teeth to last a lifetime! Tooth enamel is one of the hardest parts of the body, but it is non-renewable so it is important not to not neglect or abuse our teeth. Daily teeth and gum care, along with visits to your Gainesville GA general dentist, is the best way to protect tooth enamel.

    Even though every Gainesville GA drug store carries hard bristle brushes, we recommend brushing with a soft brush after every meal to gently brush away acid. Scrub too hard, and you can erode enamel. It is ideal to brush immediately after eating, but brushing within 60 minutes of a meal has benefits. The quicker you remove food from your teeth, the better it is for your enamel.

    Flossing regularly is also important to keep gums healthy and avoid gum disease. Whether the food is on tooth surfaces, or hidden in between, it is not doing your enamel any good.

    Dr. Joseph Weber recommends a checkup and thorough cleaning every six months. Our skilled hygienists remove tartar, a substance that attracts plaque to the surface of the teeth and can weaken the teeth’s structures. Regular checkups prevent problems and save you money on expensive restorative dentistry down the road.

    Remember: don’t use your teeth for opening packages! Keep scissors and bottle openers handy. At Weber Family Dental, we see damaged teeth and dental work as a result of patients using their teeth as tools. Biting down on something too hard, like ice or hard candy can also damage enamel.

    Attention Gainesville GA athletes: be sure to use a mouthguard for team, contact, and recreational sports.

    Teeth grinding is also a common dental threat. Be careful not to grind teeth, this can not only wear away enamel but also pave ways for cavities to get in. If you grind your teeth while you are sleeping, make an appointment to be fitted for a night guard. Your enamel will thank you.

    Lastly, remember: drink water. Coffee, sports drinks, soda, wine, and tea all contain a lot of acid or sugar, and in some cases both. Cut back, or at least use a straw. These drinks cause a lot of tooth decay for non-water drinkers in the Gainesville GA area.

    We hope you find these Weber Family Dental cosmetic dentistry tips helpful. For more information on dental care, or to schedule an appointment, contact our Gainesville GA family dentist office today at 678.928.9320!
