At Art of Dentistry Insitute, we have long been treating the residents in Irvine and have seen the results of neglected teeth and gums. Don’t let your smile deteriorate any longer, schedule a consultation to begin restoring your smile.

Ask us about dental implants. Happy Irvine area dental implant patients have discovered that implants look and feel like their own teeth.

Dental implants are great for producing a foundation for dentures, supporting a bridge, or replacing a damaged tooth without disturbing the surrounding teeth. Since dental implants interface into the anatomy of your jaw, they help prevent bone loss and gum recession.

Our dedicated staff would love to set up a consultation and develop a comprehensive treatment plan for you. Your smile is our number one priority, make it yours as well and you will be healthier and happier.

We provide advanced general and cosmetic dentistry, helping out patients achieve all their dental goals.

Retaining Brightness After Teeth Whitening Treatment

Posted by

professional tooth whitening Phoenix

If you decide to illuminate your smile with a professional teeth whitening treatment in Irvine, you want the results to last as long as possible. Unfortunately, the same things that stained your teeth before the treatment can stain them after the treatment. Over time, common staining will take place. To help slow down that process, Art of Dentistry Institute offers helpful counsel to make your brilliant smile last.

Do’s

First, rinse daily with an anti-cavity rinse. This improves oral hygiene, decreases bacteria, slows the accumulation of plaque, and also helps whiten your teeth. Additionally, there are many over-the-counter rinses with an additional whitening agent which will help prolong the results of the whitening treatment.

Don’ts

There are some daily practices to avoid because they will stain your teeth over time. These include drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine, smoking, and even some medications. If you cannot completely cut these out of your life, rinse your mouth out after you use them.

Avoid acidic foods and beverages. These can weaken or wear away the enamel on your teeth, and weak enamel allows the yellow dentin to show through.

Artificial coloring in any foods and condiments can stain your newly whitened teeth. Candy, popsicles, and fruit punch are examples.

Remember the Basics

We probably don’t need to remind you, but brushing your teeth properly a couple of times a day will help you keep your white smile. You may choose a toothpaste with extra whitening or baking soda to help the process. Proper brushing should take you at least two minutes using short brush strokes, paying close attention to the gum line and hard-to-reach areas. Clean the outer surfaces of your upper, then lower teeth, including the inner surfaces. Finally, don’t forget the chewing surfaces and your tongue. Using good brushing techniques for 120 seconds will support oral hygiene, and permanent stains will not build up as fast.

It doesn’t take too much effort or money to make your whitened smile last. If you have any questions or would like additional tips on how to retain your fresh, white smile, reach out to our experts at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine.

3 Reliable Steps To Find The Best Dentist

Posted by

white dental fillingsRegular cleanings and checkups are part of your first line of defense against dental health issues, so naturally you want to have the best dentist possible. What should you look for? If you’re new in town, or have been looking around for a new dentist, Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA suggests the following.

  • Location and Office Hours: It’s a little like real estate: location, location, location! Choosing a dentist that is near to where you live or work is important, since it makes it easier to make and keep your appointments. On the other hand, it is not the only consideration; some dentists may be worth driving a little further. Their office hours may be better suited to your schedule. We are open to best serve you.
  • Chairside Manner: This is one of the more important considerations. You want to feel comfortable with the person you are trusting with your smile. Do they explain any symptoms you have, and procedures they want to do? Do they listen to your concerns and answer all of your questions? Our team is trained in empathy, communication skills, and medical dental knowledge. We work hard to ensure your comfort and safety!
  • Qualifications: You can get information about a dentist’s qualifications from your local dental society or your insurer. It’s also a good idea to see what special qualifications your dentist may have.

Once you’ve done your homework, ask around. What do family and friends say? What about online reviews? Regular checkups at the dentist are essential to any good dental health regimen, and at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA we are always honored to be part of the equation.

Think You May Have A Cavity?

Posted by
white dental fillings Yuma Your teeth need a lot of tender, loving care. But sometimes, in spite of regular brushing and flossing, we end up with a new cavity – the common cold of dental health. At Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA, we have been filling cavities for years and would be happy to take care of any cavities or other dental issues you are experiencing. Cavities refer to tooth decay, and it’s a sad fact that few of us go through life without getting at least one. For some children, a cavity is the first health problem they experience. Cavities are caused when bacteria, acid, food debris, and saliva combine to form plaque. Plaque then clings to your teeth and the acid in the plaque starts to dissolve the enamel. The result is a hole in your tooth. Typical cavity symptoms include:
  • Toothache
  • Pain when chewing
  • Sensitivity to sweet, hot, or cold food and drinks
If you notice any of these symptoms, please give us a call. At Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA, we offer white fillings that match your teeth. We’re a mercury-free practice with a full range of general dentistry services. Call to schedule an appointment with us today!

Bleeding Gums After Your 6-Month Cleaning?

Posted by

bleeding gums Regular check-ups and cleanings at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA are essential for good dental health. But some people tend to have gums that bleed after a thorough cleaning, causing them concern.

Is this a problem? Well, it depends. If your gums bleed for a couple days after your dental cleaning, don’t worry about it. But, if the bleeding and tenderness last longer, you should be checked for the possibility of gum disease.

Gum disease arises when plaque builds up along the gum line. You might also see bad breath, painful chewing, and loose teeth. It is a progressive condition and a leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

It is also treatable, but as with most conditions, the earlier it is diagnosed and the treatment begins, the better. We treat gum disease at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA. Patients from throughout Santa Ana, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach know they can trust us with their dental health. They also come to our practice for general and restorative dentistry. Contact us today!

Super Smiles Have Strong Enamel

Posted by

Did you know that enamel is the hardest substance in the body? It’s true! Found on the outer surface of your teeth, enamel is meant to last a lifetime, and with the help of regular checkups at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA, it can. Enamel may be super strong, but you have to take care of it.

Useful Tips

  • Pick the right foods for enamel health. It’s no secret that soft drinks weaken your teeth. And don’t rely on diet sodas as a replacement – the artificial sweeteners can also erode enamel over time.
  • Sticky, chewy candies should be avoided. Chewing ice is a no-no. And don’t use your teeth as tools. Take a minute to grab some scissors before you rip open that package with your incisors.
  • Avoid vigorous brushing and use a soft brush. It’s best to brush about an hour after eating, because foods, especially acidic ones, can soften the enamel, making it more prone to weakening from brushing.
  • Keep stomach acids in check. If you have a problem with severe heartburn, the stomach acid could be traveling up your esophagus and into your mouth. This acid can erode enamel, so talk to your doctor about treatment.
  • Talk to us about dry mouth and tooth grinding. Lack of saliva is a major issue for tooth enamel, and teeth grinding can also wear it down. Let us know if you suspect either of these issues.

At Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA we want the best possible dental health for all our patients. People from Santa Ana, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach come to us for general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. Request an appointment today!
