Joining the team in 2019, JoHannah encourages patients to improve their health by starting with oral hygiene. She brought a love for the outdoors with her from Idaho. plus 20 years in the dental field.
Dr. Seyfried continues to provide advanced, anxiety-free dental care since relocating his practice to Minden, Nevada in 2006. He and his team use the latest in techniques for both general and cosmetic dentistry.
Both are used to repair a severely broken tooth by covering all or most of the tooth after removing old fillings, fractured tooth structure, and decay. The restoration material is made of gold, porcelain, composites, or even stainless steel. Dentists refer to all of these restorations as crowns. However, patients often refer to the tooth-colored ones as caps and the gold or stainless steel ones as crowns. In medical terms, they are two names for the same procedure.
No. While most teeth that have had root canal treatments do need crowns to strengthen the teeth and to return the teeth to normal form and function, not every tooth needing a crown also needs to have a root canal.
Both bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth. A bridge is permanently attached to abutment teeth or, in some cases, implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to the teeth and is easily removed by the patient.
Generally, no. However, its advisable to use a toothpaste containing fluoride to decrease the incidence of dental decay. We recommend our patients use whatever toothpaste tastes good to them, as long as it contains fluoride
Although the U.S. Public Health Service issued a report in 1993 stating there is no health reason to avoid amalgam (silver fillings), more patients today are requesting white, or tooth-colored, composite fillings.
We also prefer tooth-colored fillings because they bond to the tooth structure better and so help strengthen a tooth weakened by decay. White fillings are also usually less sensitive to temperature and blend in better.
However, white fillings cannot be used in every situation. If a tooth is badly broken, a crown will usually be necessary and provide better overall satisfaction for the patient than just a filling would.
The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums.
Generally, no. However, its advisable to use a toothpaste containing fluoride to decrease the incidence of dental decay. We recommend our patients use whatever toothpaste tastes good to them, as long as it contains fluoride.

I had a long time dentist in Cali and have been traveling down for years. Other medical issues finally dictated I make the switch and was super blessed to land with Dr Seyfried and his staff. First came an overdue cleaning and checkup. Within the week they were able to schedule a couple of appointments to repair 3 cracked teeth with crowns. In between the temporary and permanent placements, I chip another tooth! Dr Seyfried was very accommodating with scheduling me in to cancelation slots or staying after normal hours to quickly get everything squared away for me. Being somewhat nervous at first, his staff helps keep things lighthearted and Dr Seyfried was wonderful in ensuring the procedures were pain free and I was always comfortable. Thank you Dr Seyfried and team for accepting me as a new patient and taking such great care of me! Lori Lee

Jessica the front desk lady was awesome! Very welcoming to me and my girlfriend for her dentist appointment. She assisted us immediately and was professional and super super sweet. I'd recommend this place to others if you enjoy friendly service and a nice experience overall.

Do not go there. They offered a $65.00 new patient discount and turned around and billed me $65.00 for unwanted bite wings. My credit card investigated and reversed the charges. Dr. very rude, staff very nice.

Dr. Seyfried and his staff are awesome! I don't write reviews often, but the excellent service from Melissa, Jessica, and the rest of the staff prompted me to do so. Definitely a change from dental offices I'm used to going to in California! Thanks again guys :)
