CEREC® uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for patients. This new technology has revolutionized ceramic restorations such as crowns and veneers for patients so that there is no longer a wait between preparing the restoration and finally receiving the finished product. With CEREC®, the technology is used while you are sitting in the dental chair, which is both economical for you and your dentist. The restorations created are metal-free and tooth-colored to restore your tooth to its natural beauty, strength and function. With CEREC®’s CAD-CAM technology, these ceramic restorations can all be done in one single visit to the dentist. CEREC® has revolutionized the restorative process. It was created with the patient in mind in order to make a visit to the dentist as pain-free as possible. Some of the benefits to using CEREC® are: Most procedures can be done in one visit – less costly and less time-consuming Less painful injections due to single-visit No need to take messy impressions No need to have a temporary restoration for in-between visits Ability to save as much natural tooth structure as possible Longer lasting restorations – may last over 10 years Restores teeth to natural beauty, function and strength Metal-free restorations --- - Published: 2022-03-30 - Modified: 2022-11-16 - URL: https://missiondentist.com/about/trios-scanner/ Trios Scanner - Mission, KS - keith + associates dentistry Skip to Content keith + associates dentistry voted Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite 2023 Call to Schedule 24/7: (913) 384-0044 [email protected] Emergency?

This treatment makes restoring brilliance to your smile easier and more comfortable—plus, it can typically be added to any other appointment on the spot. For many, a confident smile can make all the difference — but years of coffee, tea, wine, and everyday life can leave teeth looking less vibrant. That's where Smile Perfected at Keith + Associates Dentistry comes in. Smile Perfected is an innovative in-office teeth whitening system designed to deliver noticeable results in just 20 minutes.

From deciphering common terms to maximizing your benefits, we're here to help you feel confident about your dental care decisions and avoid unexpected payments at your next appointment. Navigating the world of dental insurance can feel overwhelming, but understanding the basics is key to making the most of your coverage and maintaining a healthy smile. Whether you recently enrolled or want to understand your plan better, this guide will break down the top 10 things everyone should know. From deciphering common terms to maximizing your benefits, we're here to help you feel confident about your dental care decisions and avoid unexpected payments at your next appointment. It's Not Insurance; It's a Coupon Program Dental insurance doesn't function like medical insurance. Instead of covering catastrophic events, it typically provides limited benefits that reduce out-of-pocket costs for routine care and minor procedures. Annual Maximums Are Low Most dental insurance plans have an annual maximum benefit, often between $1,000 and $2,000. Once you reach this limit, you're responsible for 100% of the costs for the remainder of the year. Waiting Periods for Major Procedures Many plans have waiting periods of six months or longer for more elaborate services like crowns or root canals. You can't use insurance for these procedures immediately after enrolling. However, most preventative care is exempt. You should be able to make appointments for dental checkups right away. Check your policy for your specific waiting period. Frequency Limitations Dental plans often limit how often you can receive certain services. For example, you may be covered for cleanings only twice a year or X-rays every three to five years, even if your dentist recommends more frequent care.

Explore their cost, benefits, and long-term value to see why they’re an investment in a healthier, more confident smile! When considering a permanent solution for missing teeth, we often recommend All-on-4 full-mouth dental implants for their durability, functionality, and aesthetic benefits. However, they are more expensive than other tooth replacement options. Let’s explore the factors behind the price and why they are an investment in long-term oral health. How Much Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Cost? The cost of All-on-4 dental implants typically ranges between $25,000 and $30,000 per arch. This price may vary based on factors like: Material quality: Premium materials for prosthetic teeth can influence the cost. Dental clinic reputation: Clinics with advanced technology and experienced specialists may charge more. Additional procedures: Preparatory treatments, such as bone grafting, can increase the total price. While this might seem like a significant upfront investment, it’s important to weigh the cost against the long-term benefits. Unlike traditional dentures, which often require periodic replacements and ongoing maintenance, All-on-4 implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Why All-On-4 Implants Are a Worthy Investment All-on-4 implants offer unique advantages that set them apart from other tooth replacement options. Here’s why many patients find them worth the price: Immediate Results: With All-on-4, patients receive a fixed, functional set of teeth on the same day as their procedure. This immediate functionality eliminates the months-long waiting period often required with traditional implants. Stability: Unlike dentures, which can shift, click, or cause discomfort during eating and speaking, All-On 4 Full Mouth Implants are securely anchored to the jawbone. Improved Quality of Life: Patients can enjoy... --- - Published: 2024-11-22 - Modified: 2024-11-22 - URL: https://missiondentist.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-cleaning-and-maintaining-your-dental-implants/ Keep your dental implants strong and beautiful with expert cleaning tips. Discover daily care routines and professional maintenance for a lasting, healthy smile! All-On-4 full mouth implants are a permanent solution for tooth replacement. The titanium implants integrate with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, All-On-4 implants don’t slip, cause discomfort, or require adhesive. They’re fixed securely, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak confidently. Beyond convenience, these implants also support your jawbone structure, preventing the bone loss associated with missing teeth, which helps preserve facial aesthetics and reduces the risk of a sunken appearance over time. Proper care ensures they remain strong and beautiful for years to come. Caring for your All-On-4 full mouth implants is similar to maintaining natural teeth, with a few key considerations to ensure their health and durability. Daily Cleaning Routine: Brush Twice a Day: Clean your prosthetic teeth and gums with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle, non-abrasive toothpaste. Use a Water Flosser: A WaterPik or similar device is especially effective at removing food particles and plaque from around the implants and beneath the prosthetics. Flossing: If possible, use floss designed for implants or threaders to clean between the prosthetic teeth and gums. (Optional) Night Guard: Patients who grind their teeth may experience faster wear on their prosthetic teeth. However, this can be managed with a custom-fitted night guard, which helps prevent damage while sleeping. Professional Maintenance: Routine dental visits are essential for maintaining All-On-4 implants. During these appointments, your dentist will: Thoroughly clean areas that are difficult to... --- - Published: 2024-11-22 - Modified: 2024-11-22 - URL: https://missiondentist.com/full-arch-dental-implants-a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-procedure/ Learn how All-on-4 full arch dental implants can restore your smile with fewer implants, faster recovery, and long-lasting results. Discover the benefits and process today! Full arch dental implants, particularly the All-on-4 technique, offer a transformative solution for those missing most or all of their teeth. At keith + associates dentistry, we’re proud to provide advanced dental implant solutions to help our patients achieve beautiful, functional smiles. Here’s everything you need to know about the All-on-4 procedure, its recovery, and why it’s an excellent choice for long-term dental restoration. What Is the All-on-4 Full Arch Dental Implant Procedure? The All-on-4 procedure is a revolutionary approach to full-mouth restoration that uses just four to six strategically placed implants to secure a full arch of teeth. Here's how the process works: Comprehensive Evaluation Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, including X-rays, CT scans, or 3D imaging, to assess your bone density and oral health.

With simple tips and guidance from a dentist, you can ensure that your child's smile stays healthy and bright.

As a parent, you want to help your children develop good dental hygiene, since poor dental health is all too common and can lead to complications in adulthood such as more serious diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Below are simple tips from keith + associates dentistry for helping your children develop and maintain healthy teeth. Lead By Example Kids love to imitate those around them, so being a good role model is one of the best ways to show children how important dental health is. Demonstrate good oral health habits with them, brush and floss with your kids, rather than sending them into the bathroom on their own. Instead of treating it as a chore, make it part of the daily routine. Keep Dental Appointments Keep a regular routine of going to the dentist for regular checkups. Your child should have their first dental appointment within 6 months of their first tooth or their first birthday, whichever comes first, and then twice a year after that. Eat Healthy Foods Avoid sugary drinks and food. This can help with not only your child’s overall health, but it can also create a conversation about cavities.

TMJ can be caused when a disk between the bones becomes eroded or slips out of place. Trauma is another leading cause of TMJ. Teeth grinding at night makes you more likely to have TMJ, as do high-stress levels. Arthritis in the jaw joint can be another cause.

Find out about the oral microbiome and how it relates to your oral health. The mouth contains a complex microbial ecosystem or system of microbiomes, that can both help and harm teeth. Biofilm, which plaque is an example of, is any collection of microorganisms that cling to each other and to a surface. It’s impossible to completely remove bacteria or eliminate microbiomes from the mouth. However, as in any ecosystem, there is a balance that is necessary to maintain a healthy equilibrium. Good oral hygiene habits, healthy choices, and a balanced diet are our way of maintaining that equilibrium so that more dangerous and harmful bacteria are reduced and kept in check. Oral Hygiene and Biofilm If good hygiene habits aren’t maintained then plaque and the microbiome it contains can harden and grow. This can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities. After oral surgeries in particular there is a risk of infection if good habits aren’t maintained. For this reason, twice daily brushing, regular flossing, and using mouthwash are critical. Since teeth make up a relatively small part of the overall surface area inside the mouth using an anti-bacterial mouthwash is a great way of fighting back harmful oral bacteria. By regularly brushing you force the biofilm and bacteria in your mouth to regenerate and prevent it from growing out of control. Diet and Bacteria Too much sugary food, or improper hygiene after consuming sugary food, can feed bacteria. Sugar is a sort of fuel for certain harmful bacteria present in your mouth. This is why candy, soda, and other sugary foods... --- - Published: 2022-11-08 - Modified: 2023-09-14 - URL: https://missiondentist.com/what-issues-can-invisalign-fix/ Invisalign® provides an excellent option for orthodontic treatment, but is it the best option for all orthodontic issues? Invisalign® revolutionized the way people look at orthodontic treatment. The clear aligner system from Invisalign® made it possible for people to discreetly improve their smiles. While Invisalign® allows people to love the appearance of their smile and avoids many of the discomforts of braces throughout the process, there should be more to consider when choosing orthodontic treatment. You should consider which treatment option will best treat your individual situation. While you should speak with one of our dentists before making your final decision, we have included issues that Invisalign® can effectively treat. Crooked Teeth Invisalign® is very effective at treating crooked teeth. The clear aligners offer a great solution for people to align their teeth and love their smile. Overbite & Underbite Invisalign® can be used to treat both an overbite and an underbite. An overbite is when the top front teeth extend beyond the bottom of your bottom front teeth. An underbite is when the lower jaw rests in front of the top jaw when the mouth is closed. Invisalign® can be used to move either the top or bottom teeth into the right place so that they align properly with the mouth closed. Crossbite A crossbite occurs when teeth don’t line up properly with the mouth closed. This could be the top teeth in the back of your mouth resting inside your bottom teeth or could be one or more of your top front teeth resting behind your bottom front teeth.

See what causes tooth decay and get additional tips on how you can stop cavities. Preventing Cavities in Mission, KS Cavities, often referred to as tooth decay, are tiny holes that develop in the hard surface of your teeth. They are most common in children and teenagers, but they can affect everyone including infants and toddlers. Join keith + associates dentistry as we take a closer look at what causes cavities and how you can prevent them. Causes of Cavities Cavities typically occur as a result of poor oral health habits but other various factors can increase the risk of getting a cavity, including: Dry mouth. Dry mouth occurs when there is a lack of saliva in the mouth. Saliva helps wash away food stuck on the teeth and it counters the acid produced from bacteria in the mouth, which reduces the chance for cavities. Foods and drinks. Certain foods aren't as easily washed away from saliva, making them more likely to cause decay. Foods you should limit include: ice cream, honey, sugar, soda, cake, chips, cookies, and hard candy. Constant snacking or sipping. Drinking or eating frequently throughout the day results in increased bacteria in your mouth. This bacteria produce the acids that attack tooth enamel. Lack of fluoride. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps prevent cavities and can reverse the early stage of tooth decay. Use a fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash to help reduce your chance of cavities. Cavity Prevention Regular dental visits and daily brushing and flossing are the best protection against cavities. But, cavities left untreated get larger and larger,... --- - Published: 2021-03-25 - Modified: 2022-03-14 - URL: https://missiondentist.com/how-to-manage-being-scared-and-stressed-at-the-dentist/ Does seeing the dentist give you anxiety?
