When Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Warranted?

Sometime during human evolution, the large third molars that erupt during the late teens and early adult years, called wisdom teeth, became obsolete. Our modern diet does not require us to chew hard roots, bark, and nuts; we now consume a primarily soft diet. Wisdom teeth aren’t only unnecessary now, but they can cause oral health problems and mouth pain. The question is, should you have wisdom tooth extraction? In today’s blog, we’ll discuss the why, when, and how of wisdom tooth extraction. You’ll learn: 4 Reasons for wisdom tooth removal The best age for wisdom tooth extraction How we perform [...]

What to Expect During Gum Graft Surgery Recovery

Dr. Roy Kaluzshner2025-01-13T12:11:00-07:00

A gum graft replaces gum tissue lost to periodontal recession to improve esthetics, reduce sensitivity, reduce the risk of gum disease and cavities, and stabilize and protect teeth roots. Though patients of any age may need a gum graft, they’re most common in people over 50 years of age. Overall, gum grafting has a high success rate of 90%. Expect to take one or two days off work, and avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for two weeks during gum graft surgery recovery. The third or fourth day after surgery will likely be the peak for discomfort and swelling. Use moist heat, [...]

Dental Veneer: Teeth Look Sensational After Veneers

Dr. Roy Kaluzshner2025-01-13T12:23:57-07:00

Are you unhappy with the look of your smile? Have you avoided wearing braces to straighten your front teeth? Would you like permanently white, bright teeth?

What kind of dental bridge is best?

Dr. Roy Kaluzshner2025-01-13T12:23:57-07:00

When it comes to a dental bridge, AKA crown and bridge, we have four primary types to choose from. A dental bridge replaces up to three teeth in a row. It’s comprised of crowns attached to false teeth, which we call pontics. Bridges are fixed appliances, meaning they can’t be removed by the patient. They require the same care that natural teeth need: brushing twice and flossing once daily, as well as visiting the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. In Denver, the Metro Dental Care dentists will conduct a thorough oral health exam and take digital x-rays. [...]

When Extractions Are Your Best Option

Dr. Roy Kaluzshner2025-01-13T12:23:58-07:00

Not everyone needs dental extractions. Teeth that are properly cared for every day, and that aren’t subjected to damage from injury, medical treatment, or genetics, can last a lifetime. However, few people go through life without dental cavities, chips, or fractures. Teeth battle bacteria, acid, and crushing pressure every single day of your life. Even when you’re sleeping soundly, your teeth are fighting a war. Sometimes, natural teeth don’t last forever. Furthermore, if you have too many teeth for the size of your arches, or if you’ve lost many teeth and will be transitioning to dentures, extractions may be necessary. In [...]
