Periodontal (gum) disease is the leading cause of tooth loss for US adults. Some studies indicate that this prevalent oral health condition effects as much as 80% of the adult population over the age of 35. Unfortunately, many cases of gum disease go undiagnosed and untreated for years. This can lead to negative effects such as bleeding gums, receding gum line, teeth that shift out of alignment, and chronic bad breath. At Generations Dental Care, we partner with patients to prevent these adverse oral health effects, ensuring healthy gums and teeth. When we aren’t able to stop gum disease before it begins, we provide a wide variety of periodontal therapies to put the smiles back on our patients’ faces. If you’d like to find out more about periodontal disease and the treatments available for our patients, please call our friendly team to schedule an appointment today.

Crowns and Bridges from Generations Dental Care
October 27, 2014
When a tooth is missing, whether because of extraction for severe decay or traumatic injury, the space vacated must be filled in order to maintain proper alignment of the remaining teeth. If teeth become misaligned, this can lead to a bad bite, gum disease or temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ. To avoid all of this, there are crowns and bridges. At Generations Dental Care in Concord, NH, our dentists create functional and natural-looking crowns and bridges to complete your smile and keep your mouth healthy.
Crowns, also known as caps, are most commonly used to completely cover a damaged tooth. In the case of crowns and bridges, however, a crown is placed over the teeth that are on either side of the missing teeth. These crowned teeth anchor the bridge that spans the space where teeth are missing. Attached to the bridge is the replacement tooth, or pontic, that fills the space of the missing tooth.
How are Crowns and Bridges Made?
Your dentist at Generations Dental Care will first need to slightly reduce the size of the anchor teeth in order to prepare them for crowns. Then, an impression is taken to make an exact mold for the crown and bridge. While your custom-fitted crown and bridge is fabricated in the dental lab, you will have a temporary replacement to cover the prepared teeth and open space. Then, when the permanent crowns and bridge are ready, the temporary is removed and the permanent crown and bridge is cemented into place. To ensure the longevity of your crowns and bridge, proper daily brushing and flossing is imperative. Also, see your dentist at Generations Dental Care for regular check-ups at least twice per year.

How Can Dental Implants Restore and Revitalize Your Smile?
July 10, 2014
There are many reasons that a person may be missing one or more of their permanent teeth; disease, an oral injury, and necessary extractions are common culprits. If your smile is incomplete for any reason, it is important to replace your missing teeth as soon as possible. At Generations Dental Care in Concord, NH, our team of experienced, highly-trained doctors offers an all-encompassing selection of restorative dental services to help you reclaim your smile, including dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
A dental implant is comprised of two primary components: a tiny, biocompatible titanium post and a custom ceramic crown that looks like one of your natural teeth. The implanted post serves as an anchor for your new restoration, allowing you to enjoy a gorgeous smile that looks and feels as if you’d never lost a tooth at all.
Dental implants offer a huge variety of benefits, both aesthetic and functional. In addition to helping your smile look its best once again, dental implants effectively replace the roots of your lost teeth for unparalleled structural stability. When you lose a tooth, the jaw bone beneath the gum tissue begins to lose density. This can lead to the loosening or complete loss of additional teeth as well as visible changes to the shape of your face.
Dental implants help to stimulate the jaw bone, preventing it from deteriorating further. Your replacement tooth is durable, long-lasting, and fully functional. Your smile will look fantastic, and you’ll love the fact that you’re able to eat and speak with complete, natural comfort.
