Outshine Family Dental - Covington

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there! Thank you for your love, guidance, and endless support. 💙

What’s the difference between brushing your teeth at home and having our doctors clean your teeth during your regular dental exam?

At Outshine Family Dental, we use an electric brush and sometimes use a polisher to deep clean your teeth. This deep cleaning aims to remove extra plaque and tartar that couldn’t be removed manually. During your regular cleaning at the dentist's office, we will remove tartar in a procedure called scaling. After scraping off the hard tartar with special instruments, we may polish your teeth. Dental polishing can remove surface stains on teeth and leaves them shiny and smooth, putting the finishing touches on preventive dental treatment.

Are veneers or dental bonding right for you? Veneers and dental bonding are both cosmetic dental treatments used to improve the appearance of teeth. The choice between veneers and bonding depends on factors like the extent of cosmetic concerns and budget considerations. Outshine Family Dental offers both options and we are happy to help you decide which is right for you!

With dental implants, you can get back to focusing on what’s most important: feeling confident and living life to the fullest! If you are missing one or multiple teeth, dental implants are a long-term solution that look and feel like your natural teeth. You don’t have to worry about a restricted diet or speech issues with dental implants. If you’re interested, contact Outshine Family Dental to find out if you’re a candidate for dental implant surgery.

It's National Smile Day! 😄 Let your smiles shine bright today and every day.

On this Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten.

Are veneers or dental bonding right for you? Typically, dental bonding is best for small changes in a healthy mouth, while veneers work better for patients who need more substantial changes to their smile.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms! 💐 Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and well-deserved pampering.

How are CEREC® crowns made? Outshine Family Dental creates a three-dimensional model of your tooth (shown here) and then selects a ceramic block that matches the shade of your tooth being repaired. We then insert the block into the Milling Unit, where two diamond-coated burs carve the block into the indicated shape of the restoration. This process usually takes 8 to 18 minutes depending on the size and type of restoration. After the milling is finished, our doctors will polish the finished filling or crown and bond it into place.

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, even stronger than bones! It keeps your teeth safe from daily wear and tear and helps protect against the pressures of daily chewing, biting, and grinding. However, tooth enamel is not invincible. It can be gradually worn down by factors like acidic foods, aggressive brushing, and untreated dental issues. That's why maintaining good oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, and a balanced diet are essential in supporting the longevity of our enamel. 🦷💪

If you find this difficult, it’s because dental implants look and feel just like your natural teeth! With dental implants, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, without worrying about your teeth slipping or falling out. Visit our website for more information on dental implants: www.outshinefamilydental.com.

Fun fact about your dental health: over a lifetime, the average person spends about 38.5 days brushing their teeth. The time spent may seem small on a daily basis, but the actions you take now can add up to a lifetime of healthy smiles. Remember to brush twice a day for two minutes a session to help prevent dental issues and promote overall well-being. 😀

Do you want to learn more about the tools your dentist uses to keep your smile in tip-top shape? Here are some of the tools we use at Outshine Family Dental that are instrumental in keeping your teeth healthy:

- Dental Mirror: A small, handheld mirror with an angled handle used to view and access areas of the mouth that are difficult to see, such as the back of the teeth or behind molars.
- Scaler: Dental scalers are instruments with a hook-like end designed to remove plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different areas of the mouth.
- Dental Drill: A high-speed dental drill, or handpiece, is a rotary tool used for various dental procedures, including cavity preparation and tooth reshaping. It may have different attachments for specific tasks.
- Suction Device: Suction devices are used to remove saliva, water, and debris from the patient's mouth during dental procedures. This helps maintain a dry working environment and enhances our visibility.

If you ever have any questions or concerns about which tools your dentist uses, don’t hesitate to ask during your dental exam!

Ever wonder why we take X-rays of your teeth at your dental appointment? Dental X-rays allow our doctors to see between and inside your teeth. They not only help us see the condition of your teeth, but also the roots, jaw placement, and facial bone composition. X-rays can detect issues such as small areas of decay between your teeth, decay beneath fillings, cysts and other types of tumors, bone loss in the jaw from periodontal disease, abscesses, and more! The next time we ask you for dental X-rays, know that we are taking "X-tra" precautions to rule out dental problems before they become too serious or advanced.

Wishing you a Passover filled with joy, peace, and the warmth of family and friends. Chag Pesach Sameach! 🕊️✨

Let's face it - you probably have a filling or two in your own mouth. In many cases, these fillings are made of metal material and can go bad, weaken the tooth, or get additional decay under or around it. In fact, 1.2 billion of these metal fillings will need to be replaced in the next 10 years! Enter: CEREC®, the all-ceramic tooth-colored crown that can be placed in a single appointment. Not only does CEREC® replace these fillings, but it also can restore any tooth that is decayed, weakened, broken, etc. to its natural strength and beauty.

If you answered flossing, you'd be correct! Both brushing and flossing daily are needed to maintain optimal oral health. Spending a few minutes a day on preventative measures like these may save you the time and money of treating periodontal disease! 🦷
