Preparing for Your Dental Implant Consultation

Before you schedule your dental implant consultation, you should take the time to learn a little more about what makes you a good candidate for this restoration and what questions you should ask your dentist before getting started.

Missing Teeth? Explore Dental Implants in Farmington.

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , — dr_metzger @ 7:09 am

Dental implants in Farmington replace missing teeth better than other prosthetics. Dr. Leslie Metzger recommends implants to patients in good oral health.Millions of people in the United States are missing one or more teeth because of dental decay, gum disease and accident. Relatively quickly, jaw bone and gums recede, and adjacent teeth drift toward the empty tooth socket. For fully edentulous individuals, the toll on self-esteem, nutrition and speech is significant.

So, Dr. Leslie Metzger of Monet Aesthetic Dentistry, frequently advises placement of dental implants or implant-supported dentures. Secured within the jaw bone, dental implants provide aesthetically pleasing and stable tooth replacement. And, they integrate fully with bone for unparalleled longevity.

Relief from TMJ Farmington Trusts – Dr. Metzger & Monet Aesthetic Dentistry

woman with pain from TMJ farmington residents can be helped by Dr. Metzger and Monet Aesthetic DentistryTemporomandibular Joint Dysfunction also known as TMD occurs when the joint connecting your jaw (mandible) to the rest of your skull (temporal region) is strained or otherwise does not function correctly.

Still, if you mention TMJ dysfunction or TMD, many people aren’t quite sure what it is. Common misconceptions are that this joint discomfort is untreatable, and that it is the same thing as lock jaw (an infection from the tetanus bacteria).

Metzger of Monet Aesthetic Dentistry to find out more about TMD and possible treatments.

Tooth-Colored Fillings with Dr. Metzger in Farmington, MI

164144314You take such good care of your teeth. Every day you brush and floss in the morning and at night. You schedule dental checkups at Monet Aesthetic Dentistry in Farmington, MI, every six months as Dr. Leslie M. Metzger wants you to do. You shy away from sugary snacks and soft drinks. Yet despite all of these efforts—you have a cavity. Well, hardly anyone goes through life without some tooth decay. The good news is that repairing that tooth no longer necessitates having an amalgam filling. Today, there are tooth-colored fillings that not only restore functionality to your tooth, but maintain your white and beautiful smile.

Once upon a time, cavities were routinely filled with a mixture, or amalgam, of silver and other metals. Aside from leaving a dark spot in your otherwise white smile, amalgam fillings were annoying for people with metal sensitivity. And while the claim that there is mercury in silver fillings has never been conclusively substantiated, there is definitely no such concern with tooth-colored fillings. (more…)
