Miami Beach Dentist Discusses Ways Improve Your Smile with dental Veneers or Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding


No matter the state of your teeth, we've got ways to give you the perfect smile. Two
ways to get a movie-star smile (and believe me, it's how many movie stars get theirs!)
are veneers and bonding, according to Miami dentist Dr. Mereos.

Bonding is an effective way to repair chipped or broken teeth. Bonding is typically
painless and can yield dramatic results in a single office visit to your Miami dentist. Bonding hides natural flaws in the teeth by placing a thin plastic coating on the front surface of the teeth. After treating the tooth surface, a dental composite bonding material is applied. The puttylike material is then sculpted, shaped and colored to suit the patient's needs. We use a high-intensity light to harden the plastic. Finally, the new tooth surface is smoothed and polished.


Dental Veneers are often used for the same reasons as bonding - to lighten stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed teeth. Both can be utilized to change the shape or color of a single tooth or if necessary to revamp the entire smile. Veneers can be either composite or porcelain.

Veneers are a popular choice for total smile makeovers, letting a dentist change not just
the color but also the size, shape, and straightness of your teeth. In addition, veneers
are more durable and stain resistant than bonding.


The dental veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain or composite material about the size of a fingernail. Once the custom-made veneer is bonded onto the tooth, it becomes
extremely strong. It also blends in with the remaining tooth structure so that it is
unnoticeable to the naked-eye. Once in place, it looks, feels, and functions just like a
regular tooth. If you have any questions about bonding or veneers, or if you're interested in a cosmetic consultation, please call our office to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Mereos is a great dentist in Miami and his patients say he is friendly and comforting and always happy to take the time to answer any questions.

Summer advice from Miami Beach Dentist, Dr. Mereos, ...Eat Berries for a Healthy Smile

Summer advice from Miami Beach Dentist, Dr. Mereos

Miami dentistMiami Beach is known for hot summers! Many people love summer. I know I do. It is the hottest season and is marked by the longest day of the year, plenty of sunshine, vacation time and fireflies. But did you know that summer is also the time of year to enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables that are in peak season and can actually boost your dental health. According to Miami dentist, Dr. Mereos, summer is the perfect season for eating great food full of vitamins and nutrients that are perfect for promoting dental health. Berries are great….add them to your diet and boost your dental health.
Berries

Berries are small, edible fruits and there are a variety of the foods that are great for your teeth and dental health. Tomatoes, cranberries and grapes all fall into this category and are typically abundant and affordable year round (plus they are all excellent choices for boosting dental health and general well being). However, come summer, individuals have the ability to gorge on fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and reap the nutritional benefits linked with some of summers best fruit.

Strawberries are by far the most popular healthy seasonal berry; the fruit accounted for 55 percent of all berry sales in 2011 and for good reason (http://www.statista.com/statistics/191512/fresh-berry-category-share-in-2011/). Ripe, juicy, red strawberries are the perfect snack food for self proclaimed 'sugar addicts' as the perfect berry will taste better than any candy out there, minus the risks and with vitamins and minerals essential for fueling the human body.

One cup of strawberries is delivers a variety of nutrition including magnesium, folate and potassium. A full cup of the summer food also delivers a bit of calcium and over 100 mg of vitamin C; both nutrients are vital to dental health.

Berries are full of vitamin C. Vitamin C is also essential to dental health, especially in regards to recuperating after oral surgery including tooth extractions, gum grafts and bone grafts. Healthy doses of Vitamin C can speed up the recovery process associated with those dental treatments. According to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) patients suffering from low levels of Vitamin C will need more time to recover from their oral surgery procedures.

Perhaps you are a blueberry (41 percent of 2011 sales) or raspberry (12 percent of 2011 sales) fan? These tiny little berries are known for packing a huge antioxidant, phytochemicals and flavonoids that can help ward of various cancers. Plus those fruits also deliver some Vitamin C along with the naturally fantastic flavor.

Miami Dentists Answers the Question: Can chewing gum be good for your smile?



Miami Dentist

Can chewing gum be good for your smile? Clinical studies have shown that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes following meals can help prevent tooth decay.According to Miami Beach dentist, Dr. Mereos, chewing sugarless gum increases the flow of saliva, which washes away food and other debris, neutralizes acids produced by bacteria in the mouth and provides disease-fighting substances throughout the mouth. Increased saliva flow also carries with it more calcium and phosphate to help strengthen tooth enamel.

Don’t let chewing sugarless gum replace brushing and flossing. It’s not a substitute. Miami dentist, Dr. Mereos still recommends brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning plaque from between your teeth once a day with dental floss or other interdental cleaners.

Look for chewing gum that carries the ADA Seal. The ADA Seal is your assurance that the sugar-free chewing gum has met the ADA criteria for safety and effectiveness. You can trust that claims made on packaging and labeling for ADA-accepted products are true, because companies must verify all of the information to the ADA. Products with the ADA Seal say what they do and do what they say.

I Know What Dental Implants Are, But What Is The Process?

What Is the Dental Implant Process Like?
 
The process should begin with a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical and dental
history, and a full clinical examination of the entire mouth and missing tooth area. The
clinical exam should also include specific X-rays.

After assessing the patient, a comprehensive treatment plan can be devised. From that point, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia.

The length of the healing time is based on the quality and quantity of bone, as well as the type of implant placed. After adequate healing is allowed to occur, the implant can be used to support a crown, bridge, or denture.

If you have questions regarding dental implants, please call our office. You can make an appointment with our cosmetic dentist by calling our friendly staff at (305) 532-9114 or by visiting www.precioussmiles.com. Please don't hesitate to contact Precious Smiles if you have any questions about cosmetic dentistry.

The Truth About Dental Crowns By Miami Dentist Dr. Mereos






The Truth About Dental Crowns By Miami Dentist Dr. Mereos

Miami Dentist 

#dental crown, #miami dentist
 
When tooth decay leads to cavities, teeth are often restored with fillings made of silver mercury amalgam or composite plastics. Fillings are an excellent solution to the problem of cavities; they can often accomplish the aim of replacing the part of the tooth that has been lost, and they can do so in a strong and good-looking manner. However, there comes a point when fillings are no longer an effective solution. Tooth decay can continue to erode at the tooth, and fillings require drilling. Eventually, the tooth has lost too much structure to hold a filling. At this  point, restoration requires a technique that will attach to the remaining tooth, stand up under heavier use and meet cosmetic requirements.

Crowns are a method of dental restoration that can strengthen and restore the entire top of a tooth. The crown can also be part of the attachment of a fixed bridge for the replacement of teeth. The tooth is strengthened because it is covered from the outside with a casting of metal or ceramic that wraps and splints the tooth.


The crown serves two important functions. First, it restores the appearance of your teeth and your face. If your tooth is severely decayed or cracked, the dentist will need to restore it prior to preparing a cap. Teeth also support the muscles in our faces, so anything less than a full tooth may affect the way you look.


Second, a crown will be the same size and shape as the natural tooth. As a result, it will keep your jaw and bite aligned, and an improve chewing. It will also make sure that other teeth don't shift locations or take on a greater share of the work of biting and chewing. Moreover, modern ceramic processes produce translucency and color that is more natural than has ever been possible.You can make an appointment with our cosmetic dentist by calling our friendly staff at (305) 532-9114 or by visiting www.precioussmiles.com.
