crown restorationDo you have a tooth that has sustained a lot of damage from decay or a cavity? At Premier Family Dental we can help restore the health of your smile with a crown restoration. A crown is like a cap for your tooth that fits over it to help protect against further damage or decay.

Crowns are a good choice to repair a tooth that is damaged beyond what a filling can fix. We will custom craft your crown to fit over your tooth and blend in with the rest of your smile. Decay and damage can weaken a tooth and leave it more vulnerable to further problems. The crown will strengthen your tooth and help your smile function properly once again.

We offer both porcelain and metal crowns to provide a variety of smile options. Porcelain crowns are popular because they match the appearance of your other teeth more closely for a subtle smile solution. If crowns are the right solution for your smile, the entire procedure will take two dental visits so we can examine your smile, have your crown milled and affix it to your tooth.

If you have a tooth that’s affected by decay or damage, give us a call today. We can help restore and strengthen it with a crown restoration. A smile can’t function properly as a whole unless all of the individual teeth are healthy and strong.

Premier Family Dental provides quality dental care from our Waco dental office because we truly believe in the power of a beautiful smile. We serve patients from Robinson, Lorena and the Central Texas area. Call us today to schedule your appointment!

Periodontal Care in Waco

It’s important to visit us for a dental check up every six months for a variety of reasons. Gum disease is a serious health concern and is virtually symptomless. When you come in for your checkup, we’ll check you for signs of this serious infection.

Gum disease is an infection caused by a buildup of tartar on your teeth. The tartar irritates the gums, and they become infected. Over time, the gum tissue will begin to recede. Your tooth will gradually loosen and eventually fall out. Since this infection is basically symptomless, it’s important that you visit us regularly so we can inspect your smile. One of the few symptoms is bleeding gums, so if you’re experiencing this then please call our office.

If you do have gum disease, we can provide periodontal care to restore the health of your teeth and gums, and keep the infection from spreading throughout your body. If left untreated, you’re putting yourself at risk for losing a tooth.

Gum disease is a serious dental health concern, but you’re not alone. We are here to help with periodontal care to stop the infection and ensure that all our patients have healthy smiles.

Smile Securely With Dental Implants

If you’re missing teeth, we’re here to help. At Premier Family Dental, we offer dental implants to help replace missing teeth securely and keep your smile whole and dazzling.

Dental implants are a great solution because they come closest to mimicking a natural tooth. The implant is secured by a titanium post that’s inserted to your jaw bone, mimicking the roots of a natural tooth. The post will bond with your jaw bone over time, creating a secure base for your implant.

Once bonded, we’ll attach a custom-made porcelain crown to the post, completing the restoration. Dr. Cofer, Jr. has over 192 hours of study in the field of dental implants. He would love to use his expertise to help improve your smile.

It is important to replace missing teeth for a variety of reasons. First, missing teeth impairs the function of your teeth and may make it harder to eat. Also, once you’re missing a tooth, it increases the risk that you will lose another. Finally, when you’re missing a tooth, your remaining teeth will shift around over time to try and fill the gap, which could negatively impact the function and alignment of your bite.

If you’re missing teeth, dental implants could be the right solution for your smile. Give us a call to learn more and see how you could have a complete smile once again.

Restore Your Smile with Composite Fillings

March 28, 2013

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , — Dr. Rick Cofer @ 8:04 pm

If you have a cavity, it is important to get it repaired as soon as possible, before the damage is allowed to spread. Fillings are a great way to repair and restore your tooth. Cavities are a common dental concern. Even with good brushing and flossing habits, it’s still easy to miss a spot, allowing plaque to grow and cause a cavity.

At Premier Family Dental, we offer composite fillings. This is the preferred way to perform fillings because it gives a more pleasing appearance. Composite materials are tooth-colored so no one will be able to tell you’ve had any dental work. The decayed portion of your tooth will be removed and filled, leaving you with a tooth that is strong and full functional.

Also, composite fillings are preferable to the traditional silver amalgam option, both for appearance and for health concerns. If you’re concerned about the risk of mercury from amalgam fillings, then composite fillings are a great option for your smile.

If you have a cavity, a composite filling is a great solution. Your tooth will be healthy once again, and since the composite will be matched to the color of your natural teeth, no one will be able to tell that you had any work done at all. Call us today to schedule an appointment and see how simple it can be to repair your smile.
