Custom Dentures – Hear From A Patient Like You

Dentures, Parker & Pennington Dentistry, Testimonials

We are passionate about helping patients receive dental treatments that not only improve their oral health but also change their lives. We see many patients who have received treatment from other practices and are not happy with the results. They experience ill-fitting hardware and still have the same difficulties as before they received treatment. Some patients are living with discomfort, while others are having difficulty eating and are unhappy with their results.

Time To Schedule Your “Spring Cleaning”

General Dentistry, Parker & Pennington Dentistry, Patient Information

With spring starting in a few short days, now is the perfect time to schedule a visit to the dentist. Spring is a popular time for people to deep clean their homes and clear out the winter clutter and mess. We can do the same for your dental health. When you visit our office for a hygiene examination and cleaning, we do a deep clean of your mouth, removing any plaque and bacteria that have built up since your last visit. Failure to schedule routine appointments can lead to serious complications with your oral health.

Importance Of Preventative Dental Care

Wouldn’t it be amazing if everyone had excellent oral health and never had to worry about dental decay, gum disease, or any other problem? While this would be wonderful to experience, it is not realistic. However, there are certain things you can do for your current and future oral health. The best way to do this is with the help of preventive dental care. When teeth are cared for properly, you have a better chance of keeping your natural teeth for your lifetime. Preventative dentistry focuses on keeping your teeth and mouth free from decay and disease.

Temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as TMD, affects the face muscles and the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull, the temporomandibular joint. If you feel behind your earlobe near your neck and open your mouth, you can feel the joint in action.
