Everyones teeth are different, whether you have an underbite, spacing in between your teeth, or youre still on your way to getting braces. Whatever the case, not all dental procedures are best for everyone. For example, we had this young man come in after wrestling around with his brother. As you can see in the photo below, not only does he have half of his front tooth missing but he does over a deep bite. Typically, with a broken tooth such as we see here, we would want to cap it with a veneer. However, because of this patients deep bite, its very difficult to make a final restoration veneer of a crown bond. Provance Veneers Instead, we use a technique called Provance, which is an acrylic final long term restoration cap. This is worked really nice for this young man and its also half the price of porcelain! Moreover, this patient also needed to have braces. Now that would usually be a problem if he had a typical porcelain veneer. But, the best part about the acrylic cap is that

One of the first test questions on every dental exam is which tooth is the most commonly extracted tooth. However, the first molar is not only the most frequently extracted tooth but also the most drilled, filled, root canal, broken, crowned, and bridged tooth! If something has happened to your first molar, have you thought about fixing it with a ceramicimpant? Why Is the First Molar Worked on So Much? The reason the first molar is always needing dental attention is that we use our first molar for about 50% to 70% of our chewing, depending on how you bite. Where is My First Molar? The location of the first molar is about two teeth in front of the very back teeth, upper and lower. If you dont have your wisdom teeth anymore, you count two teeth forward, and it is that big chunky molar. Thats the number one guy or gal that is breaking all the time! Using Ceramic Implants to Fix Your First Molar In this particular situation, we have a patient who has fractured her first molar. We removed

At Bilski Family Dentistry, we want to provide our patients with as many options to give them the smile of their dreams. In order to do so, we offer many different materials for the various services and products we provide. One example of this is our variety of dental implant materials. Ceramic Implants A very popular dental implant material we offer is ceramic implants. This is an alternative to the standard titanium and metal options. Many of our patients who choose ceramic implants are concerned with metal toxicity, so they opt for a metal-free implant. If you are concerned about titanium and titanium ions leaching into your bone, this is an excellent option for you! Our ceramic implants are made with Zirconia. They integrate better than metal. Its a one-piece unit that is implanted. Then we wait for about four to eight weeks and then go ahead and begin restoring the tooth. However, ceramic implants are best for patients with only one or two teeth needed to be implanted. If

Get a Smile Makeover with Dental Implants Do you have a smile that you feel needs a lot of improvement, but youve never done anything about it because youre nervous or other doctors have told you they cant help you? Then you need to come to Bilski Family Dentistry where we go the extra mile to make sure you get the smile youve always wanted. Dental Implants for Cosmetic Dentistry An increasingly popular option many of our patients choose to fix their smile is a dental implant. This is because dental implants are an excellent alternative to bridges, dentures or partial dentures. An Example of a Patient Who Got Dental Implants: Our patient had been to other dentists before and was told she was not a candidate for dental implants. She then came to our practice for diagnostic work, and we found out that she was a candidate. We had to do a little bit more work with her. For this particular patient, we had to implant 12 of her front teeth, but it is worth it in the end when we see how

How to Save Money at the Dentist and Get Quality Dental Care Dentistry is expensive and, next to fear of pain, cost is the number one reason people dont visit the dentist. Having a healthy smile and mouth is important to your overall health. In the United States, 50% of people have dental insurance. For the 50% who dont, they often stay away from the dentist completely for fear of the price without insurance. Dr. Bilski wanted to create options for those who felt the strain on their wallet when booking an appointment. So, we created our own way of doing this through the Bilski Dental Savings Plan. Its not insurance, but its a membership-based way of getting discounted prices for dental services you need. What Do I Get with the Bislki Dental Savings Plan? The way it works is we through the form you see here. We have discounted fees, usually by around 15%, off of the services. Some services are even discounted by up to 25%. The real winner here though is the Invisalign. We can save
