It’s natural for teeth to become stained, whether because of certain foods or beverage, habits like smoking, or even some medications. But you don’t have to live with a stained smile. With KOR Whitening, patients can have the dazzling smiles they deserve.
And to make the whole process easier and more convenient for our patients, you can use KOR in our office or in the comfort of your own home—whichever is a better fit for your schedule.
Millions of Americans avoid going to the dentist every year because of anxiety. Others put off important visits because local anesthetics don’t have an effect on them, or because neck or back pain makes sitting for long procedures uncomfortable.
Regardless of your reason, Dr. Carmen can help. With sedation dentistry, you can look forward to a relaxing visit that lets us help your smile. And because your appointment will seem to last for only a moment, we can complete more work in a single visit than would normally be possible.
Crowns protect vulnerable teeth from further damage. That means the sooner you can have a one placed, the better. But traditionally, crown placement has taken at least two visits, sometimes more if your temporary crown becomes cracked or broken.
That’s why our Norman office is proud to offer CEREC all-porcelain crowns. Made from durable materials, CEREC crowns can be milled in about an hour and placed in the same visit, meaning you don’t have to worry about a temporary crown—you can leave our office with your new smile that same day.
Throughout his career, one of Dr. Carmen’s highest priorities has been to continually expand on his knowledge and experience. One way he’s done this is through comprehensive continuing education courses in implant dentistry. That means if you need dental implants, your entire procedure—from the initial implant placement to the placement of your new crown, bridge, or denture—can be completed in the comfort of our Norman office.
How Dental Implants Work
Implants have been restoring smiles for more than 30 years. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants can help. That’s because, unlike crowns, bridges, or dentures, dental implants restore the support your smile’s been missing. They do this by replacing your root, not just your missing tooth.
We know how stressful life can be. With rush-hour traffic, deadlines at work, bills to pay—it’s enough to leave you grinding your teeth.
But all the pressure and motion can wreak havoc on your smile, damaging your teeth and leaving you with a sore jaw, headaches, or earaches. What’s worse, many who respond to stress by grinding their teeth do it while they’re asleep, leaving them unable to consciously stop.
This painful condition, known as bruxism, can only get worse is left untreated. Worn out jaw muscles and a bite left changed by worn down teeth can contributes to symptoms of TMJ dysfunction. Insomnia, depression, and eating disorders can even become a problem. All of which means, if you think the daily grind is getting to you, it’s time to see Dr. Carmen. With a nightguard from our Norman office you can finally rest easy!
