The COVID-19 pandemic is in its second year, and will not go anywhere anytime soon. Due to this fact, many people have avoided visiting the dentist, even when they have dental issues that need resolving. Fortunately, every dentist's office has special guidelines to keep their dental technicians and you safe during this time.

Thinking of visiting the dentist during COVID-19? Here's what you should expect.

Even though most of us believe that our teeth are healthy, it’s a must to visit your dentist on a regular basis. This is primarily because the prevention of oral diseases is the best possible care you can give to your teeth.

Like with most invasive medical procedures, root canal treatment raises concerns about the pain involved, the expense and how much time it’s going to take. Most of the presumptions regarding this procedure are often wildly exaggerated and have little credibility. Root canal treatment is an essential medical procedure that helps keep your teeth healthy and functional.

Smiling makes you feel happy irrespective of your situation. The brain releases endorphins which lower stress and make you happy. It also makes you more approachable while building trust between you and the people around you. But few people experience problems with their smile and stress about it. The good news is that you can transform your smile with dental veneers. At Aberdeen Dental Arts, you choose between the resin and porcelain veneers.

Orthodontic treatments can correct crooked or crowded teeth, overbite, underbite and incorrect jaw movement. If these issues are not treated immediately, they can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, headaches and earaches; they can also cause speech problems. Braces can help improve your oral health and enhance your appearance significantly. If you are looking for Invisalign® braces in Kamloops, Aberdeen Dental Arts can help. We offer quality orthodontic solutions to all our clients along with implant dentistry and teeth whitening services.

Do you have one or more missing teeth? Then perhaps dental implants are right for you! This type of prosthetic tooth is increasingly being used to repair smiles. That said, if you’ve ever had to go in for a crown replacement or to get your dentures re-fitted, what you really want to know is: how long do implants last? The short answer is that they can last a lifetime, but let’s dig a little deeper.

Dental crowns are used to cover and repair teeth that are broken, cracked or decayed. They’re also often used in conjunction with other devices, like implants or bridges. With so many possible applications, it’s natural that different materials get used to create prosthetic teeth.

Missing one or more of your teeth can greatly affect your day-to-day life. It makes eating and speaking more difficult and you may even experience pain due to the change in how your top and bottom teeth come into contact with each other.

A sincere smile can make you look more approachable and even influence the people around you to be happier. In fact, a beautiful smile can boost your confidence and improve your mental, emotional and psychological well-being. Unfortunately, many people aren’t comfortable flashing their teeth, and their self-confidence suffers as a result. If you find yourself too embarrassed to show your teeth in social situations, Aberdeen Dental Arts can help.

Dental crowns are used to restore the appearance, shape and function of damaged or decayed teeth. Often referred to as a “cap,” a crown covers and protects a tooth whose structure has deteriorated due to a large filling, root canal or fracture. Once in place, the crown makes it so the tooth feels and functions like one of your natural teeth.

Bad habits, we all have them, and while some are harmless time wasters, others can have long lasting health implications. If a bad habit involves your mouth, then you can expect some repercussions at some point with maintaining good oral health and hygiene having been implicated in maintaining good overall health for a number of years.

New to Kamloops, BC and in need of restorative dental care? Finding a reliable and skilled Kamloops dentist that you feel comfortable with can be a challenge.

It may also be challenging to find a clinic that provides the full range of dental services, including pediatric dental procedures and treatments. Whatever the case may be, choosing a dentist is a personal experience that requires a bit of research on your part. You want to be sure you are entrusting your smile to a clinic that can take care of your needs and provide you with peace of mind during the process.

Not only can a missing tooth affect your bite, speech and eating habits, but it can also affect your confidence and well-being. Good oral hygiene begins with you and your decision to take care of your teeth. With today’s technology and dental procedures, dentistry has transformed into an art form. From implants and veneers to crowns and bridges, there are a number of options to explore when it comes to tooth replacement or repair.
