Dental Hygiene

A beautiful smile and great oral health demand top-notch dental hygiene. With locations in Crestview, Pensacola, Mary Esther, and Santa Rosa Beach, Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics offers dental hygiene to those local residents looking for a great smile and fantastic oral health.

What Is Dental Hygiene?

Dental hygiene involves the proper methods and procedures for taking care of your mouth – including your teeth and gums and typically involves establishing a routine for brushing, flossing, and any other oral care procedures that protect and treat your teeth. To ensure that you maintain great oral health, this level of quality needs to extend into your personal oral hygiene routine. We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth healthy and white. If you have any questions about your current hygiene plan, please ask us. Why not contact us now to schedule your consultation?

Benefits of Dental Hygiene

Good dental hygiene is extremely important to the overall health of your mouth, as well as to your entire body. An abscess or advanced tooth decay can easily seep into your bloodstream, causing septicemia (a blood infection) that can be life-threatening. Nearly everyone has experienced the pain and agony of a toothache, which if left untreated, can lead to inflammation of the gums and advanced deterioration of your tooth structure itself. Dental hygiene helps to prevent many such issues from ever becoming problems in the first place.

Dental Hygiene at Comfort Dental Care & Orthodontics

Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are also essential to your oral hygiene, and we can provide periodontal cleanings and treatment. This is one of the things that makes us different with all dental specialists under one roof, including periodontics. Oral cancer screenings are another very important feature in your dental hygiene visit and with the advances in modern technology, we’re now able to pinpoint the start of any potential problem much earlier in its evolution. Certain lifestyle choices can have a great impact on the health of tissues and your overall oral health. If you are a smoker or heavy drinker, make sure to undergo regular dental hygiene screenings when you visit the dentist.

How Much Does Dental Hygiene Cost?

We know that entrusting a dentist with your smile is no minor matter, and we view ourselves as our patient’s partners in dental hygiene because we value the trust our patients put in us.

We care, and our patient advocates will work with you to customize a treatment plan that fits your budget, needs, and expectations. Good oral hygiene is essential to proper tooth development and care and most dental insurance programs cover the cost of regular oral hygiene screenings and treatments. If you do not have dental insurance, we offer financing through CareCredit® for convenient payment plans to make dental care more affordable.

Orthodontics

When your teeth are crooked or misaligned, or you need to correct your bite, your dentist will direct you towards a special division of dentistry called “orthodontics.” Orthodontists work with you to keep your teeth and mouth in good physical shape and alignment.

Invisalign

Instead of metal braces, many patients prefer Invisalign® – a cosmetic dental procedure that straightens and aligns your teeth using clear and removable trays. These trays are comfortable and changed approximately every other week to gradually shift the position of your teeth over time.

Braces

When your teeth are crooked, crowded, irregularly spaced, out of alignment, or protruding, braces are typically the go-to treatment method to correct them. Available for use on patients of all ages, braces use metal brackets to gradually reposition teeth and ultimately provide a healthier, more attractive smile.

Retainers

A retainer is custom-made, composed of plastic and metal, and fits inside your teeth to help maintain the correct positioning of your teeth.

Zygomatic implants are a more advanced form of dental implants specifically used with the upper jaw when the jaw is resorbed or eroded following tooth removal. These implants provide the support for upper implant bridgework where other implants do not work.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening helps to expose more of your natural tooth so your mouth can be better prepared for a necessary cosmetic or restorative procedure or to address and improve the health of your natural gum line.

Our gums are a key to our wellbeing because they keep our teeth strongly rooted and empower our ability to function and preserve our facial structure for optimal personal appearance.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry combines the art of aesthetics, the knowledge of dental structures, and the science behind technological innovations in order to make your teeth look and feel their best.

Dental Bridges

A bridge is placed to correct teeth that sit on either side of a gap. A dental bridge can restore your smile, while also maintaining your face shape. Perhaps most importantly, a well-placed bridge will prevent your other teeth from falling out of alignment.

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.

Dentures

Tooth loss is challenging on many levels. Not only can it affect what you eat and how you chew leading to more serious health concerns, but it can also make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. We want you to be your best self. Dentures may help you get there.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are a thin, protective coating that bonds to the surface of your teeth. When properly applied, sealants can help prevent cavities. Best of all, sealants do not require numbing or drilling and are generally painless. Developed to ward off decay before it affects a tooth, they are most commonly used on those teeth most prone to cavities.

Porcelain Inlays

Porcelain inlays are hard; custom manufactured inserts that are usually placed in larger cavities and areas where there is less tooth structure.

Porcelain Onlays

Porcelain onlays are often referred to as partial crowns, and they are generally placed on your existing tooth as a base and fitted onto the tooth.

Teeth Cleaning

At Comfort Dental, we believe that getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.

Composite Fillings

When decay occurs in a tooth, it’s important to take steps right away to address the issue. A filling is used to treat a decaying tooth and halt the spread of further tooth decay. Composite fillings are made of a natural resin composite material, as opposed to metal fillings.

Extractions

While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Composite Bonding

With dental bonding from Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, we’ll help you create a great smile while solving and correcting potentially serious dental problems. Oftentimes, if you’re looking for a fast and relatively inexpensive way to improve upon your smile, then cosmetic tooth bonding from our dentists can be the ideal solution.

Smile Makeover

At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, we practice with a specific focus on smile makeovers; the latest, most advanced cosmetic dentistry in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Teeth Whitening

For the very best, get-your-teeth-the-whitest-possible dentist experience, pick Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics. Our professional, in-office whitening treatment will help you get rid of all those unappealing stains on the tooth’s surface, in addition to removing stains from deep within your tooth’s enamel.

Veneers

When it comes to efficient solutions for helping you achieve that beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, one of the most popular, effective, and fastest methods is porcelain veneers.

Dental Implants

When teeth are lost, dentists typically replace them with full or partial dentures. Dental implants are permanent posts that act as “roots” for the replacement teeth.

Same-Day Implants

The dentists at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics use the All-on-4® procedure to fit patients with a fixed prosthesis that is supported by four implants.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are smaller dental implants that work in the same manner as traditional dental implants. Because they are smaller in diameter, it is necessary to have a very precise replacement so that they function correctly.
