Putting specific problem areas onto a computer screen lets us see with clarity and detail that’s not possible with a traditional mouth mirror. Hand-held wands quickly capture the details of your teeth and gums. In fact, even small cracks that often lead to broken teeth appear vividly with the click of a button. We can explain the need for treatment more clearly by showing you what we see in great detail. As an added benefit, dental insurance benefits often pay more quickly with the visual proof of a digital image. --- - Published: 2020-03-12 - Modified: 2025-07-29 - URL: https://lakesidedentalwellness.com/ This is an example page.

There are two types of teeth whitening: professional teeth whitening and at-home teeth whitening. Professional Teeth Whitening: In-office teeth whitening at a dental office is a popular option for quick and long-lasting results. The process involves applying a bleaching agent directly to the teeth, which is then activated with a special light. The procedure takes one session, lasting around an hour. Advantages of Professional Teeth Whitening: Professional expertise: When you choose to have your teeth whitened at a dental office, you can rest assured that you are in the hands of a trained professional. Our dentists have the expertise and experience to assess the condition of your teeth and choose the proper treatment for you. Stronger bleaching agents: Dental offices use stronger bleaching agents than those available over the counter, offering more dramatic and longer-lasting results. Safety: Teeth whitening at a dental office is a safe procedure, as precautions are taken to protect your gums and other sensitive areas. Disadvantages of Professional Teeth Whitening: Cost: Teeth whitening at a dental office is more expensive than teeth whitening at home. The teeth whitening cost can vary depending on the office, but on average, ranges from $500 to $1,000 per session. Time: Teeth whitening at a dental office requires an appointment, which can take up to an hour. At-Home Teeth Whitening Teeth whitening at home is more affordable and can be convenient for those who want to brighten... --- - Published: 2023-09-12 - Modified: 2024-05-28 - URL: https://lakesidedentalwellness.com/debunking-the-myth-root-canals-and-pain-perception/ - Categories: Uncategorized Root canals have long been feared and misunderstood and are often associated with images of excruciating pain and discomfort. However, it's time to set the record straight and debunk the myth that root canals are extremely painful. Dental Anxiety? Ditch the Myths, Embrace Root Canal Relief! Root canals - the mere mention sends shivers down spines and conjures images of agonizing drills and unbearable pain. But what if I told you those horror stories are just that - myths? Modern dentistry has transformed the root canal into a comfortable, effective solution for saving damaged teeth. Let's set the record straight and get your smile back on track! Pain-Free Progress: Rethinking the Root Canal The outdated image of the painful root canal stems from past limitations. Earlier techniques and limited anesthesia options might have justified the apprehension. However, Lakeside Dental & Wellness utilizes the latest advancements, ensuring a smooth, minimally invasive experience. Anesthesia Arsenal: Comfort at Your Command We understand dental anxiety. That's why Lakeside Dental & Wellness offers a spectrum of anesthetic options tailored to your needs. You're in control of your comfort, from gentle numbing gels to advanced local anesthetics. Most patients report feeling nothing more than mild pressure, similar to a routine filling. Understanding the Root Canal Procedure A root canal involves removing infected pulp, cleaning the root canal, and sealing it to prevent further trouble. The discomfort sometimes associated with root canals often stems from the underlying infection itself, not the procedure. By addressing the infected pulp, we eliminate the source of pain and pave the way for a healthy smile. Timely Treatment: Avoiding the Agony of Delay Fear of pain can lead to delaying a necessary root canal, which can exacerbate the problem.... --- - Published: 2023-09-12 - Modified: 2025-06-20 - URL: https://lakesidedentalwellness.com/how-to-encourage-your-child-to-develop-healthy-dental-habits/ - Categories: Uncategorized Developing healthy dental habits in children can be challenging, Lakeside Dental & Wellness has the solution to helping your little one achieve a happy smile. Teaching your kids good dental hygiene is essential in ensuring they are set for a lifetime of healthy smiles. At Lakeside Dental & Wellness, we have the resources and tips to excite your little ones about caring for their teeth! When Should Dental Hygiene Practices Start? Taking care of your baby’s teeth should begin on day one. After your baby has finished eating, wiping their gums off with a washcloth and warm water is important. As your baby grows and begins teething and eating solids, begin using a silicone finger brush and warm water after each meal. Once your baby’s first tooth erupts, you can place a small amount of fluoride toothpaste (no larger than a grain of rice) on their toothbrush and brush twice a day. Schedule your baby’s first pediatric dental appointment between when their first tooth appears, between 6 and 8 months, and their first birthday. The dentist will perform a thorough exam to ensure your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth are healthy. This will also help your child become familiar with the sights and sounds of the dentist. How To Make Dental Care Exciting: Let Them Pick Out A Special Toothbrush and Other Products: Many department and retail stores carry unique, colored, and character toothbrushes. Bringing your child to the store and letting them pick out their own toothbrush will make them want to brush their teeth more often, as they’ll be excited to use their very own special toothbrush. Just be sure to buy a... --- - Published: 2023-03-21 - Modified: 2025-06-20 - URL: https://lakesidedentalwellness.com/what-issues-can-invisalign-fix/ - Categories: Uncategorized Invisalign® revolutionized the way people look at orthodontic treatment. Learn how the clear aligner system from Invisalign® made it possible for people to discreetly improve their smiles. Looking for a Smile Makeover? Consider Invisalign®! Invisalign® has taken the orthodontic world by storm, offering a clear, comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. While it's true you can finally achieve a picture-perfect smile without the hassle of brackets and wires, choosing the right orthodontic treatment requires careful consideration. Our dentist office in Augusta, KS, helps patients navigate the world of orthodontics and determine if Invisalign® is the right fit for their unique needs. But before you schedule your consultation, let's explore some of the issues Invisalign® effectively treats: Smiling with Confidence: Addressing Crooked Teeth Misaligned teeth are no match for Invisalign®. The custom-made aligners gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions, giving you a smile you can be proud of. Whether it's mild crowding or noticeable gaps, Invisalign® can discreetly transform your smile. Restoring Balance: Fixing Overbites and Underbites Invisalign® isn't just for aesthetics. It can also address functional issues like overbites and underbites. An overbite occurs when your upper front teeth protrude noticeably over your lower teeth. Conversely, an underbite is when your lower jaw juts forward, causing your lower teeth to overlap the upper teeth. Invisalign®'s gentle but precise movements can gradually reposition your teeth, correcting both overbites and underbites for a more balanced and comfortable bite. Saying Goodbye to Crossbites: Achieving Proper Alignment A crossbite occurs when your upper and lower teeth don't meet properly when your mouth is closed. This can lead to uneven wear and tear on your teeth, making them more susceptible... --- ---
