The Dentist West Monroe, LA, Trusts Provides Flossing Tips
October 8, 2015
Dr. L. King Scott and his team understand that your days are long and busy. Between work and school, family and friends, there hardly seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done. And by the end of the day, all you want is your comfy bed and soft pillow. There is, however, one more important thing you have to do before your go to bed. Your nightly oral hygiene routine is critically important not only to your oral health, but your general health, too. And that routine must include flossing. Brushing your teeth alone does not remove the plaque that can build up between your teeth throughout the day. Proper flossing helps to remove this plaque, which if left to accumulate can lead to gum disease and systemic ailments.

Dental Implants Can Give Your Smile the Beauty It Needs
June 15, 2015
So, you have a missing tooth problem. It’s okay, there are a lot of patients that are in your shoes. Missing teeth can be brought about by many factors, but it’s important to do something about it. Missing teeth can be downright terrible for your oral health. There are plenty of reasons why, and we’ll get into those a little later. Missing teeth can be the difference between a healthy and unhealthy mouth. Those spaces that are left by missing teeth are like parties for bacteria to attend. Any type of bacteria that sits and gets comfortable in your mouth can lead to infections and other dental problems that can become quite costly and detrimental to your overall health. At our office in Monroe, LA, we specialize in offering dental implants for our patients that are struggling with missing teeth. They can give you the smile you’ve always wanted without the horror that missing teeth can present appearance-wise. Plus, a beautiful smile can give you the confidence you need to go out in the world and get things done. Dental implants can give your mouth the health and stability it needs so you can smile beautifully and comfortably for years to come.

Implant Dentistry: The Solution to Missing Teeth
December 18, 2012
Are you ashamed of your missing teeth? Do you find yourself avoiding pictures, or even social situations, because you’re ashamed of the state of your mouth? The time for hiding is over! You should consider implant dentistry from Dr. King Scott’s office.
Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace missing teeth. There are two different kinds, dental implants and implant-retained dentures. Dental implants are best for replacing one or a few missing teeth, while implant-retained dentures work best for a few missing teeth all in a row.
Both types of implants will require a small surgery to attach the implant posts to your jaw. Once these have healed, Dr. Scott will attach either the individual replacement teeth or the denture. Since they’re attached to the bone, these implants will function just like your natural teeth.
If you have missing teeth you’d like replaced, please give our office a call! You’ll start by having a consultation with Dr. Scott, where he’ll go over your options and see if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. Then, he’ll create a treatment plan for you and you’ll be on your way to having a mouth full of healthy teeth once again!
Call us today to schedule your appointment or to discuss implant dentistry in more detail. Our West Monroe, LA office has provided quality dental care to patients from Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmerville, Columbia, South Arkansas, and greater North Louisiana for three decades.
