How Our Dentists Use Laser Dentistry

April 23, 2014

laser dentistrySince their introduction to the medical field, lasers have changed the way doctors and dentists offer care. With lasers, medical care is more comfortable and less invasive. What’s more, lasers give doctors more control over the entire process. As a result, results are more precise, appointments are shorter, and patients recover much quicker.

But how exactly are dentists like Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley using dental lasers?

One common use for dental lasers is gum disease therapy. In the past, advanced gum disease therapy required a scalpel and stitches. Today, a dental laser can comfortably remove bacteria below the gumline without the need for stitches at all.

Gum re-contouring is also done with a dental laser. With gum re-contouring, Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley can quickly and easily remove excess gum tissue from teeth, creating fuller, shapelier smiles.

Other uses for dental lasers include:

  • Cavity detection and treatment
  • Curing bonding materials
  • Biopsies
  • Some forms of teeth whitening

Do you want to know more about how dental lasers are changing today’s dental care? Call Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry for an appointment with Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley. They would be happy to answer your questions. We serve patients from Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Jupiter, and nearby communities.

How Chewing a Piece of Gum Can Help Your Smile

March 14, 2014

gumIf you spend most of your day behind your desk or out and about, you may not be able to brush after every meal. However, there is still something you can do to help your smile. A very simple act can help you clean your teeth and neutralize the acid in your mouth—chewing sugarless gum.

Chewing a piece of gum after meals can help your smile in two ways. First, chewing gum can help you clean leftover pieces of food from between your teeth. When these pieces are left where they are, they can promote the growth of bacteria, which can turn into plaque and calculus. Bacteria, plaque, and calculus can lead to common oral health problems like gum disease and tooth decay. Gum disease will help you remove what’s leftover and help protect teeth.

Chewing a piece of gum will also neutralize the acid in your mouth. Foods that are high in sugar or starch can cause an acidic reaction in the mouth, promoting the growth of bacteria. Gum that’s sweetened with xylitol can offer even more help.

Of course, chewing a piece of gum should not replace regular brushing and flossing or checkups with Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley at Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry. Contact us to schedule an appointment. We offer great care to patients from Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Jupiter and beyond.

Support Your Smile with Green Tea

February 27, 2014

Green TeaWhat’s the drink most people reach for when they need caffeine? Often, it’s coffee, which works incredibly well but can also give you bad breath and leave stains on your teeth. Thankfully, coffee isn’t your only option for caffeine in the morning. Green tea can give you the same boost while also improving your oral and overall health and reducing your number of dental visits.

People have been drinking green tea for centuries because of its many health benefits. Among the many things green tea can do, it can improve heart health, regulate body temperature, promote digestion, and improve cognitive abilities.

Despite all this, when we drink tea here in America, most people reach for black tea. The problem with black tea, though, is that is has far fewer antioxidants and more caffeine than green tea does. The leaves of green tea, however, are unfermented. Because of this, they have a higher concentration of polyphenol and catechin, which are important antioxidants that can improve cholesterol levels and help with cancer diabetes, liver disease, and more.

But what can green tea do for your smile? Research has shown it can do a number of things. Among them, it can:

  • Reduce the inflammation of gum disease
  • Prevent oral cancer
  • Reduce plaque
  • Repel odor-causing bacteria

Do you drink more than one cup of coffee each day? Why not switch to green tea and see how it changes your life.

Do you have questions about enjoying oral health, or do you need to schedule an appointment with Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley? Our office serves patients from Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Jupiter and beyond.

Crown and Bridgework for Juno Beach and Beyond

February 7, 2014

BridgeAt Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic, we’re proud to offer care that’s both affordable and durable.

One service that falls into both of those categories is a bridge. Formally known as a crown and bridge, this restorative service can help a patient replace a single missing tooth or several teeth in a row.

Because a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, it’s similar to dental implants—another effective restorative service—but there’s a key difference. Dental implants are held in place by one or more prosthetic roots made of titanium. A bridge, on the other hand, helps patients enjoy solid, natural results by attaching to healthy nearby teeth.

A bridge procedure is also less invasive than a dental implants procedure. Getting dental implants requires invasive oral surgery, and the full process takes months to complete. A bridge, meanwhile, can be put in place in far less time and the recovery time is also much quicker. As a result, our patients from Juno Beach and beyond can have a beautiful looking smile again in short order.

Are you ready to restore what your smile is missing? Call Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry for an appointment with our Juno Beach dental team. Dr. Riley and Dr. Keuning would be happy to talk to you about this great tooth replacement option.

We offer restorative care to patients from nearby Florida communities, including North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, and Jupiter as well.

Defend Yourself Against Periodontal Disease at Juno Beach Smiles

January 30, 2014

Shutterstock Periodontal Health BodyWhen most people think about periodontal disease, they think about the obvious symptoms: sensitive and receding gums, bleeding when you brush and even eventual tooth loss. It is, after all, the leading cause of tooth loss in adults in America. Did you know, though, that gum disease can affect your health in other ways as well? At Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry in Juno Beach, FL, Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley want you to know how periodontal disease can impact your life as well as how to prevent it before it does.

Hidden Dangers of Gum Disease

When you suffer from periodontal disease, the accumulated bacteria in your mouth can spread throughout your body via your blood stream. This can lead to a variety of potentially life-threatening conditions, even in patients who are otherwise healthy. This mouth-body connection is something many patients are completely unaware of, making them even more vulnerable to the following conditions:

  • Pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs)
  • General high blood pressure
  • Poor diabetes management
  • Increased risk of stroke and heart attack
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

Fortunately, the periodontal therapy services provided at Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry can help keep your gums and teeth clean and healthy, thereby reducing your risk of developing these kinds of problems.

Take Control of Your Oral Health

If you or someone in your family has begun to notice the signs of periodontal disease, it’s not too late to reclaim your oral health and protect yourself from further damage. Contact us at our Juno Beach, FL office today to find out how Dr. Riley and Dr. Keuning can help you keep your mouth – and the rest of your body – healthy and happy. We also happily welcome patients from throughout the surrounding areas, including Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach and beyond.

Convenient Teeth Whitening at Home

January 27, 2014

teeth whiteningIn our last post, we invited you to schedule your first 2014 appointment so we can get started on your smile transformation. Today we’d like to focus on just one of the ways we can transform your smile. It’s a popular service known as teeth whitening. With teeth whitening, patients can overcome stains to enjoy a whiter, more dazzling smile and better self-confidence. Andto make the process convenient for our busiest patients, Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley offer take-home whitening.

Using custom-made whitening trays and a supply of professional whitening gel, you can easily whiten your teeth at home in your spare time.  The process takes between one and two weeks, with a single treatment lasting for 30 minutes each day. During that time, you can take care of some simple household chores, check your email, or relax with a book.

Take-home whitening is often a great service for patients sensitive to in-office whitening. However, if you still experience sensitivity with take-home whitening, simply follow-up your treatment by lining your trays with Sensodyne, or similar toothpaste, and wear them an additional 30 minutes.

Even the most careful patient can end up with embarrassing tooth stains because of the foods and drinks we consume every day. Let Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley help you overcome your stains with teeth whitening.

Call us today with your questions and to set up a consultation appointment. We’re creating beautiful smiles for patients from Juno Beach, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach, and beyond.

Fix Your Smile with Invisalign Clear Braces

December 31, 2013

shutterstock_38724895Nothing should get in the way of you feeling confident about your smile. A smile is a first impression, and you want to make sure you make the best first impression possible. If you have gapped, crooked, or crowded teeth, you may feel as though there is no hope besides having a mouth full of metal. At Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic, we strive to make sure your smile is flawless by offering Invisalign to our patients.

Invisalign is a revolutionary technology, straightening your teeth through a series of aligners. Each aligner signifies the next step in your straightening process. Because each mouth is different, the aligners are made to fit your mouth only. Barely visible on your teeth, Invisalign helps you avoid the mouth full of metal you may have been worried about, giving you the confidence to wear the aligners anywhere you go! Simply wear the aligners for 2 weeks at a time, then transition to the next one.

One of the major benefits to Invisalign is that it gives you better oral health than traditional braces. Whenever you need to eat, drink, floss, or brush, simply remove the aligners and reapply them when you are finished. That way, no food is stuck in the wires and brackets, letting bacteria sit in your mouth and possibly cause bad oral health. Also, with Invisalign, you will not have to make adjusting appointments, saving you money in the long run!

Do you have questions about Invisalign and how it can improve your smile? Call Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic for an appointment. Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley offer exception cosmetic and restorative care to patients from Palm Beach GardensJupiterNorth Palm Beach, or Tequesta.
