Most serious oral health issues are caused by dental neglect.  This is why regular dental visits are so vital and important.  Our preventative dental treatments can save your teeth from future problems and keep your smile shining bright for many years to come.
We recommend that each of our patients come in at least once every six months for a regular teeth cleaning and exam.  This is a vital preventative step and can save your future oral health.  

A dental crown is a porcelain, tooth-shaped cap that is used to protect or restore a damaged or decaying tooth. 

At Blinn Dental, each crown is made with the most up-to-date technology available. Our highly-skilled doctor and staff make certain that each dental crown perfectly imitates the color, shape and translucency of your original tooth. Nobody will even notice that your tooth has been replaced by a crown!

A dental bridge is a series of crowns that fills in the gap left by one or more missing teeth. 

A healthy smile starts with a foundation of healthy bones and gums. CBCT scans are an important part of providing high-quality care and helping you achieve total dental health. CBCT scans provide detailed information of the bones and soft tissues. 

Most people don’t realize that dental problems have the potential to become much more significant and painful over time when left untreated.

Are you missing one or more teeth? Is a gap in your mouth keeping you from sharing your smile?  You are not alone.  In fact, millions of Americans suffer from tooth loss every year.  A missing tooth can be detrimental to both your oral health and your self-esteem.  Dental implants can provide a solution that will restore your healthy smile and your confidence! 

A dental implant is an artifical tooth root that forms the foundation for a tooth replacement procedure.  The special titanium alloy that most dental implants are made of is crafted to fuse directly to your jawbone in a process called "osseointegration."  This process creates a strong, healthy base that perfectly mimics a natural tooth root.  When paired with one of our beautiful crowns, implant dentistry will restore your smile so that no one will know you were ever missing a tooth!

Traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures are both options that can replace your full smile.  

For patients with many missing teeth, we may suggest implant dentures. This advanced restorative dentistry technique involves anchoring partial or full dentures with dental implants. Implant dentures imitate the function, durability, and appearance of natural teeth, and will never slip or slide around in the mouth. This permanent denture option is a great alternative to traditional dentures.

To learn more about which option is the best for you, call to reserve your appointment at Blinn Dental today.  

Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have major impact upon your oral health and appearance.  Although we will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, there are still some occasions when a tooth extraction may be needed.

After careful examination and diagnosis, the dentist may advise to have a tooth extracted.  Before a tooth is removed, the dentist will take an x-ray in order to understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone.  

A certain amount of discomfort is to be expected following a tooth extraction. After a routine tooth extraction, discomfort should lessen within a few days.  If you have prolonged or severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or fever, call our office immediately.

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the use of metal brackets.  We offer Invisalign so that we can straighten teeth more precisely and more comfortably than ever. 

Dental veneers are a simple way to improve the size, shape, color, and alignment of your teeth.  You can achieve a more consistent and beautiful smile.  Dental veneers are thin shells that are placed on the fronts of your existing teeth to give them a better color and shape.  They can work wonders on dull teeth, stained teeth, crooked teeth, chipped teeth, gaps between your teeth and more! 

 Porcelain Veneers have a wide variety of benefits: 

• Durable – Porcelain veneers are a strong solution for all of your cosmetic dentistry needs.

• Realistic – Porcelain veneers look like real teeth because of their similar color and light-reflecting properties. 

• Covers Imperfections – Veneers are able to hide imperfections in your smile such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration.

Blinn Dental offers a full array of comprehensive restorative treatments. You’re just one phone call away from getting started on your brand new smile! If you have dull, damaged, or missing teeth, there’s a stunning solution waiting for you here.

Tooth decay? Cracks? Discoloration? Let’s give you that all-white, even, head-turning smile with one or two simple restorative dentistry services.

WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?

When your tooth is badly damaged and is causing you pain and discomfort, a root canal treatment can completely alleviate your pain and save your tooth. If you choose to get a root canal, your dentist will remove the pulp of the tooth. The pulp contains the blood vessels, nerves, and tissues that are causing you pain. Your tooth will still function properly without the pulp.

DO I NEED A ROOT CANAL?

A root canal is a good idea if the pulp, or the soft tissue inside of your tooth that contains the nerves, becomes infected or inflamed. This is often caused by decay, but could also be caused by trauma or a chip in the tooth. It is important to treat an inflamed or infected pulp with a root canal so that you do not suffer serious pain or an abscess in the future. 

Signs that you may need root canal therapy include:

• Extra sensitive to hot or cold

• Spot is tender to the touch

• Tooth is discolored

• Consistent pain or discomfort in the area

ADVANTAGES OF CUSTOM PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING

Dr. Blinn knows the best way to whiten teeth quickly, safely, and successfully. Store-bought kits do not whiten teeth as dramatically because the formulation is not as strong. When you come in to talk to Dr. Blinn about teeth whitening, he can tell you more about custom professional teeth whitening kits and what they can do for you. Dr. Blinn will instruct you on how to properly use your take home teeth whitening kit to get the best results.
