Clear Braces – Nearly Invisible Teeth Straightening for Brookfield Adults

By admin on September 30, 2010

If you want to straighten your teeth or correct a bite problem, you have more orthodontic options than ever before. The current menu of orthodontic treatments requires a whole new glossary. Here are some of the common orthodontia terms heard around the Brookfield, WI area.

Lingual Braces and Invisible Braces
These are sometimes described as ‘braces behind the teeth’. These braces are just as effective at realigning adult teeth as the traditional ‘metal and wires’ kind but are almost completely hidden. Many adults and teens who straighten their teeth choose this type of orthodontia.

Invisalign invisible braces work great for many braces patients. To find out if invisible braces are the best type for your teeth, lifestyle and budget, schedule an orthodontic consultation at Brookfield Dental Care by calling (262) 786-4119. We can help you determine which type of adults braces system is right for you and your smile.

Traditional and Clear Retainers
Once an Invisalign invisible braces or traditional braces patient has completed treatment, retainers must be worn regularly to keep the beautiful straight teeth in their corrected position. There are several types of retainers available for cosmetic dental patients. The time-tested retainer consists of a metal wire that surrounds the teeth and keeps them from shifting. The metal wire is attached to a molded acrylic form that fits snugly in the upper mouth (palate) or lower mouth.

Clear retainers are newer on the orthodontic scene. They cover the teeth like a see-through glove and do not need metal bows or clasps. Some retainer wearers believe clear retainers are more comfortable than retainers.

You don’t need to suffer with a mouth full of metal to get the beautiful teeth you are seeking. Let us help you develop a custom treatment plan for your smile.

Saving Teeth in Brookfield, WI

By admin on September 23, 2010

When a tooth is threatened by severe decay, periodontal disease, or damage from an injury, a skilled Brookfield, WI restorative and cosmetic dentist or endodontist must make a judgment call concerning the course of treatment. If the pulp of the tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth.

Brookfield Dental Care: (262)786-4119

During a root canal procedure (or endodontic treatment) the soft tissue in the root of the tooth is removed. This tissue contains veins, arteries and lymph vessels. Once the roots are cleaned out and widened, they are filled with a special rubber material. The root canal is only the first step in the complete tooth restoration. After the root canal, without a dental crown, the tooth will become dry and brittle. The final steps are the core build up and dental crown.

At Brookfield Dental Care, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, we fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with the surrounding teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to a dentist, a tooth with a filled root can often function problem-free for the rest of a patient’s life.

We are Drs. Ralph Pamenter and Shana Quandt of Brookfield Dental Care. We have been practicing dentistry since 1972. During that time we have seen hundreds of teeth saved by this effective dental procedure. Root canal therapy at Brookfield Dental Care in Brookfield, WI has a very high success rate.

Because teeth with infected pulp tissue often cause no symptoms, it is important to have regular dental examinations with your cosmetic dentists.We can determine which (if any) teeth have infected roots. If the infection in the soft pulp tissue is left untreated, it can progress to a point where the tooth cannot be saved. Is it time for a thorough dental exam? Call our office at (262)786-4119.

Call Brookfield Dental Care immediately if one of your teeth is screaming for attention!

Sedation Dentistry in Brookfield, WI

By admin on September 8, 2010

Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your Wisconsin cosmetic dentist office holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite Wisconsin radio station. A woman clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.

As you read this, does your heart start to race? Are your palms sweaty?

If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.

Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule at Brookfield Dental Care to learn about dental sedation dentistry.

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Milwaukee

By admin on September 2, 2010

Each separate restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedure performed in Milwaukee can address a specific dental problem. For example, porcelain veneers can perfect the surface of teeth that are discolored or slightly misshapen. Dental bonding can fill a small chip in an otherwise healthy tooth.

Some Milwaukee dental problems are more extensive and require a combination of procedures. Crown restoration combined with soft tissue grafts can restore a severely decayed tooth with the root exposed. A bone graft and dental implant can restore a missing tooth in an area where the jaw bone has receded. Invisible braces followed by tooth bleaching totally transforms a smile by straightening and whitening.

What is the difference between tooth bleaching and tooth whitening? Tooth whitening is the term for procedures which remove surface stains to restore the degree of natural lightness. Bleaching goes even further by lightening teeth beyond their natural shade. That’s right: you don’t have to resign yourself to yellow teeth even if they have been that way your whole life! The natural shade of your teeth, by the way, like your skin and hair color, is determined by genetics.

Some smiles have been gleaming for years by regular whitening. You can maintain the whiteness of your teeth just as you maintain your fitness level. (Of course it is a lot easier to make a quick visit to your Milwaukee dentist once a year for whitening touch-ups than sweating in a gym several times a week!)

We live in an age where severe dental problems can be permanently corrected. You don’t have to participate in a TV makeover show in Hollywood to access these premium cosmetic dental procedures. They are available right here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Ralph Pamenter has the same advanced training and extensive experience as the dentists who keep the smiles of famous actors and musicians camera-ready.

Schedule a consultation at Ralph Pamenter DDS by calling (262) 649-9166 to discover the perfect combination of procedures to achieve your ultimate smile.
