At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we believe in helping patients make informed decisions about dental treatments that are perfect for their lifestyle and budget. This is the case particularly for patients who have experienced tooth loss or recurring dental problems. Many of these patients struggle with self-esteem issues, refuse to show their teeth, and are generally unhappy about the state of their oral health. Our goal is to help change the lives of our patients whenever possible. One way we are able to do this is through the use of dental implants.

Important Information About Gum Disease

General Dentistry, Parker & Pennington Dentistry, Patient Information

Has it been some time since you last visited our office for a hygiene examination and cleaning? If so, we recommend scheduling your next appointment today. We recommend routine exams every six months, with some patients requiring more frequent appointments. During these appointments, we do more than clean the teeth and inspect for decay, we also look for other oral conditions that can greatly affect not only your oral health but your overall health as well. One condition that we inspect for is gum disease. Gum disease affects more than half of American adults and is known as the silent disease because it does not have common warning signs as do other issues such as decay.

The Clear Alternative To Braces

The start of a new year is the perfect time to evaluate your oral health and make changes that will improve your quality of life and make you happier. If you have been unhappy and self-conscious about the placement of your teeth but don’t want to deal with the hassle of traditional metal braces, we have a great option for you. At Parker and Pennington Dentistry, we are proud to offer Invisalign®, a modern approach to straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligner trays to slowly transition teeth into the desired position.

Why You Shouldn’t Delay Dental Care

When we recommend a treatment, it is for the benefit of both your oral and overall health. Unlike other medical issues, dental decay does not improve with time. On the contrary, dental decay will continue to worsen until the tooth needs to be extracted. Receiving dental treatments and cleanings in a timely fashion help eliminate the potential of experiencing an emergency such as discomfort, a chipped or broken tooth, or a loose tooth.
