Dr. Jodry and her staff work hard to make sure that their patients have the best experience possible, in a stress-free environment. My Richardson Dentist is an expert at treating patients who have dental anxiety with professional, compassionate care.
Our office uses state-of-the-art cosmetic procedures to restore broken-down, decayed or failing teeth to full beauty and health. Whether you need fillings, dental crowns, dental bridges, dentures, dental implants, or root canal treatment, Dr. Jodrys office can offer the latest treatments and technologies.
Dr. Jodry will use fillings to repair decayed portions of any teeth, as well as cracked, broken teeth or teeth that have simply been worn down. Teeth can be filled with gold, porcelain, silver amalgam or composite resin fillings.
A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth to avoid teeth shifting out of position. Bridges are cemented onto the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth. Unlike dentures, dental bridges cannot be removed.
Dr. Jodry will insert dental implants to replace any missing teeth. Posts will be placed into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for fixed or removable teeth. Dental implants closely mimic the appearance and function of your natural teeth while also being comfortable.
Jodry recommends brushing your teeth for two to three minutes and floss at least once a day. Doing so prevents bacteria from destroying your tooth enamel. Also if you cannot brush after every meal, simply rinse your mouth with water, this helps remove food from your teeth. Good dental habits are important for keeping cavity-free!
Maintenance is key to your dental health. Did you know that tooth decay rarely causes pain, so if you think, if nothing hurts, then I dont have any dental issues, you could be wrong. Dr. Jodry will ensure that you are comfortable with all procedures and youll enjoy going to the dentist again!
Most people in the Richardson area know that a proper diet throughout your lifetime is important in maintaining good health. But you may not know how much your diet affects your dental health as well. For example, a diet low in certain nutrients can reduce your resistance to oral infections, possibly contributing to periodontal disease (gum disease) and decay. Sugar and acid also contribute to weakening tooth enamel, causing decay.
Dr. Jodry and her professional staff can help you understand the role your diet plays in maintaining excellent oral health and keeping your immune system functioning well. The earlier in life you implement these tips, the healthier your teeth and gums will be over your lifetime.
