What’s On Your Menu?
Smile savers!
Brushing and fl ossing to remove yellowing plaque is an essential strategy to keep your brightest smile. But for at least some of the time, start dining white... and light!
Add low-fat milk to sugar-free coffee or substitute with skinny lattés.
Swap black tea for green which has benefi cial antioxidant properties.
Switch from stainproducing desserts like blueberry or cherry pie to fresh or baked apples, pears, or gooseberries.
Rethink soy and Worcestershire sauces and consider yogurt or trans-fat-free oils fl avored with white vinegars, herbs, or garlic.
Replace red wine with white, and dark berry juices with light.
Avoid...- hot and cold liquids that expand and contract tooth structure, creating fi ne lines and cracks into which stains can penetrate;
- regular consumption of acidic foods and drinks that can soften enamel and encourage staining.

4 ways to restore your smile
You know, when even one of your teeth becomes severely damaged or is lost altogether, it can affect more than your appearance and self-confi dence. With time, your speech can be affected and your food choices limited. That’s why restorations including fi llings, crowns, bridges, and implants were invented. They can restore natural-looking form and function.
Here’s how restorations work.
A fi lling is a restoration that repairs part of a damaged tooth. When modern composite or ceramic materials are combined with precision techniques, fi llings can fi t and fi ll most types of cavities without removing large amounts of healthy enamel. And they can be color-matched to look completely natural.
A restoration that strengthens and protects the tooth is called a crown and you may have heard it called a cap because it actually caps the entire tooth.
A bridge is a combination of crowns and artifi cial teeth that closes a gap left by a missing tooth (or teeth), restoring your smile and redistributing the workload.
An implant is an artifi cial crown and root which is permanently implanted right into your jawbone. Once placed, it acts like a natural tooth to avoid bone loss and prevent drifting of surrounding teeth. Different implant types and techniques are available to provide individual solutions, from replacing one tooth to anchoring dentures securely.
Whatever your need, restorative treatments can save time, money, and your smile!
