How A Henderson Dentist Transforms Smiles

Just in the last decade, advances in Henderson dentistry have made the dentist's office less intimidating while greatly increasing the options available for those who want to transform their smiles. Dr. Richard Featherstone is a Henderson sedation dentist who knows how to improve dental health in maximum comfort with results that dazzle. Dental procedures, while cosmetically beneficial, also improve the health of the mouth and overall health.

Fixing Damaged Teeth

Damaged teeth are not only unattractive, but they also compromise overall health. When teeth don't function as they should, nutrition and general health can deteriorate. Options available for fixing damaged teeth include:

*Composite fillings

*Crowns

*Inlays

*Overlays

*Veneers

Gone are the days when filling cavities required extensive drilling and resulted in a mouth full of silver-colored patches. For teeth that have suffered extensive damage, crowns and veneers restore teeth to a natural-looking state while restoring proper function to teeth.

Dentures and Tooth Replacement

Henderson dentist Richard Featherstone can replace single missing teeth with a dental implant that is virtually indistinguishable from the original healthy tooth. Dentures are also available. Lower dentures can be created to snap into place on dental implants, so that they stay secure and work far better than older types of lower dentures.

Relief from Pain

Dental pain can greatly reduce the quality of everyday living, and Dr. Featherstone is accomplished in endodontic procedures that restore teeth and get rid of pain. Root canals today are a far cry from the painful ordeals of the past. By choosing a highly qualified Henderson sedation dentist, patients can benefit from same-day pain relief while a comprehensive root canal procedure is planned.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry isn't just for movie stars. The difference a smile transformation makes in appearance and quality of life is nothing short of astonishing. A cosmetic overhaul may involve the following:

*"Invisible" Invisalign orthodontics

*Cosmetic bonding

*Porcelain crowns

*Veneers

*Whitening

*Gum lifting (to improve "gummy" smiles)

*White fillings

A beautiful smile makes an enormous difference in self-confidence while improving the function of the teeth.

Other Specialized Dental Services

Dr. Featherstone's Henderson dentistry services include wisdom tooth extractions to address one of the most common sources of dental discomfort. People who suffer from halitosis (bad breath) can be treated with special medical rinses, and people who have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems can be fitted with customized splints that relieve discomfort. Additionally, people with extreme snoring and sleep apnea can be fitted with dental appliances that hold airways open, improving sleep quality.

Calming Fears

Dr. Featherstone offers various types of sedation, plus pleasant distractions like televisions mounted where patients can watch and relax during procedures, and a gentle approach to numbing that puts common dentistry fears to rest. Nitrous oxide can be used in some cases, and the calm, relaxed atmosphere feels more like a spa than a traditional dentist's office. There is simply no reason to put up with dental problems any longer. Payment plans put dental procedures within reach of even those with modest incomes. The improvements resulting from good dental health positively affect all aspects of life.
