With the holidays just around the corner, there are probably office parties and family gatherings on the calendar. Do you have your party outfits picked out or purchased? Regardless of what you’re wearing, no outfit is complete without a smile. This season, make sure your smile is as white as can be with teeth whiteningfrom Hill Avenue Dental, your dentist in Superior, WI.
Take a look at your smile in the mirror or in a photograph of yourself. Look closely. Do your teeth seem discolored? Well, you’re not alone. Millions of adults have, well, “off white” smiles. The reasons our teeth discolor run the gamut from unavoidable to somewhat preventable:
  •         The foods and beverages we consume, such as carrots and blueberries, coffee and red wine
  •          Tobacco products
  •          Certain antibiotics or excessive consumption of fluoride
  •          The wear and tear on teeth as we age
  •          Teeth grinding, which causes imperceptible cracks in the teeth where debris and stains can accumulate
  •          Injuries that cause larger cracks where staining builds

Ease Your Pain with Root Canal Therapy from Your Dentist in Superior, WI

Perhaps the pain started as a minor annoyance. Something you noticed when you were chewing on that side of your mouth. But now, there’s no denying it—you have a serious toothache and the pain is getting worse. If the problem is decay or a crack that extends deep into the tooth, then root canal therapy may be the solution. Hill Avenue Dental is the family dentist in Superior, WI, you can turn to for gentle care and professional treatment when a root canal is needed.

Root Canal Therapy and Your Tooth

A tooth is more than what you see. Inside the tooth, there is soft tissue that is commonly called pulp. This pulp tissue contains nerve and blood connections. Toothache pain is often the result of infection that develops when this pulp is exposed to bacteria that commonly lives in the mouth. This exposure may be due to severe tooth decay or a penetrating crack in the tooth. In addition to the pain that such an infection usually causes (although some patients report not feeling any pain despite infection), there is the threat of the infection spreading or causing an abscess at the tip of the root.

At Hill Avenue Dental, your dentist in Superior, WI, Dr. Doug Clark Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark III will use the latest in dental technology to painlessly repair your aching tooth. During a root canal, the dentist carefully removes the tooth’s pulp and meticulously cleans out the infection and any debris. Then, the tooth is disinfected and the root is filled with a natural, biocompatible material. Once the tooth has healed and the root canal is determined to be successful, Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will place a crown on the tooth for protection and to restore the tooth’s functionality.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you or someone you care for has a toothache, please call our office today to schedule an appointment for one of our dentist’s to determine whether or not a root canalis necessary. Hill Avenue Dental, your family dentist in Superior, WI, also conveniently serves patients in Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, Duluth and Douglas County and beyond.

Crowns and Bridges from Hill Avenue Dental Will Give You Back Your Smile

The leaves are turning and fall is here. That means Thanksgiving and Christmas must be just around the corner. Do the gatherings and parties that go along with the holiday season make you more self-conscious of your teeth? Now is the time to take action. If you have broken or missing teeth, then Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark, III at Hill Avenue Dental are the dentists in Superior, WI, who can give you a new smile with crown and bridge therapy.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown, also called a dental cap, encases an existing tooth that has been damaged. The crown preserves the functionality of the tooth and prevents further damage from happening to the tooth. Crowns are designed to look like your own teeth, so your smile will be beautiful and always look natural. These restorative wonders are the choice of many patients and dentists for cracked or otherwise fractured teeth; to protect a tooth that has had a root canal; and to secure a fixed bridge in place.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. Usually, bridges require that teeth on either side of the missing tooth be reshaped to accommodate a crown. Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will carefully examine these teeth to make sure they are healthy and sturdy enough to anchor a bridge. Once this determination is made and once the crowns are in position, they will support the bridge that holds the artificial tooth, called a pontic, in place of the missing tooth. Bridges are used to replace one missing tooth or a row of teeth.

Dr. Clark and Dr. Clark at Hill Avenue Dental are the dentists in Superior, WI, who have the expertise to repair damaged and missing teeth with crowns and bridges, so your smile is the most attractive one you can have for the holiday season.
