At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we truly care about your oral and overall health. There is one issue that can negatively impact your oral and overall health — stress. Whether it is caused by your career or life circumstances, stress can lead to serious health issues. Stress can also cause problems with your oral health and lead to dental treatments in the future.
At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we want to help our patients who need tooth replacement choose the best option for their needs and lifestyle. For some of our patients, dental implants are an excellent choice. If you are unfamiliar, dental implants provide a permanent base for replacement teeth. Over time, the prosthesis fuses with the jawbone to create a permanent and lasting solution. Patients love dental implants because they not only restore the function of the teeth, but they are also aesthetically pleasing and blend in beautifully with the natural teeth. We wanted to answer some of the most common questions that we often get about dental implants.
Do you find yourself constantly reaching for mint gum or a breath mint because you are concerned about how your breath smells? Or do you find yourself moving away from others when you speak because of your breath? We all experience bad breath from time to time, especially after eating and drinking certain foods. For many of us, the odor disappears as soon as we brush our teeth. Others experience frequent issues with bad breath, which is an indication of a problem with their oral health.
Did you avoid eating ice cream this past summer because it causes issues with tooth sensitivity? While an occasional issue with sensitivity is nothing to be concerned about, If you find yourself avoiding certain hot and cold foods because it bothers your teeth frequently, it can be cause for concern.
You deserve to have a dentist that you can trust completely. We earn our patients’ trust by taking the time to get to know and understand them. We listen to their needs, concerns and past experiences.
Do you avoid visiting the dentist because you are unsure about your dental insurance or you know you need dental work and are unsure of what insurance will cover? At Parker and Pennington Dentistry, we never want dental insurance to be the reason you don’t receive dental care. Unfortunately, dental insurance companies don’t always have the patient’s best interests in mind and instead have specific guidelines and treatment plans that may not fit in with what is needed for your oral health. This is the reason we categorize ourselves as a non-restricted provider. Dr. Parker and Dr. Pennington recently sat down to discuss what this means and how it can be beneficial to your dental health.
