Lumineers – The Easy Way to Perfect Raleigh Smiles

Have you been wishing for a more perfect smile but the idea of porcelain veneers makes you a little nervous? After all, once your porcelain veneers are completed, you can never smile without them again. Even though your teeth look fabulous, porcelain veneers are not reversible because too much of your own tooth must be removed before application. Don’t worry another minute! Lumineers® are porcelain veneers that are so thin, they do not require extensive grinding down of your own teeth. In spite of their size and ease of use, they look amazing, mimicking natural tooth luminosity and color while making your smile absolutely perfect. For more information about how Lumineers porcelain veneers can help preserve and perfect any Raleigh smile, call 919-786-6766, or visit www.northhillsdentists.com for more information.

Digital X-Rays– Protecting Raleigh’s Health and Environment

So, what’s all the fuss about digital dental x-rays? And what is the big difference between digital and standard radiographs? There really is a big difference. First, the flexibility of digital x-rays far surpasses traditional film x-rays. Traditional x-rays were generally very small and viewed on a lightbox, while digital x-rays are viewed the size of a computer screen. Because they are digital, we can use the computer to enlarge, enhance and even colorize the images of your teeth. Even better, digital x-rays expose you to approximately 80% less radiation than traditional radiographs, and since we do not use chemicals to develop the film, digital x-rays involve fewer dangerous chemicals to harm the environment and less paper waste. Talk to us about how our digital dental x-rays can help both your health and your environment in Raleigh by calling 919-786-6766, or visit www.northhillsdentists.com for more information.

Great Dental Hygiene – a Raleigh Health Necessity

Are you keeping up with your dental hygiene, Raleigh? We know that it isn’t easy to fit things that seem inessential into your busy schedule, but your regular dental cleanings and exams are more important than you may think! Keeping your teeth and gums clear and healthy with a professional cleaning can help protect you from gum disease, a problem that has been linked to everything from premature and low birth-weight babies to deadly pancreatic cancer and strokes. While you are with us for your dental cleaning, we are also comparing your dental health to our records so that if a problem develops, we can catch it while it is still very small. In addition, we examine you for the first signs of oral cancer, a very prevalent cancer that can be caused by smoking, too much sun exposure and even HPV. So as you can see, when you come in for your regular hygiene visits, you aren’t just protecting and cleaning your smile – you are protecting your health!
