Back to School Dental Checkups in West Monroe

September 6, 2013

Filed under: Children's Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 5:11 pm

Fall is approaching, the weather is starting to cool down and your kids are heading back to school. What better time than now to come in for you or your child’s regular dental checkup? At Dr. King Scott’s dental office, we recommend that you visit us twice a year for your regular dental checkup.

Our dental checkups consist of three parts: a soft tissue and oral cancer exam, thorough inspection of each tooth, and a comprehensive periodontal exam. Together, this helps to ensure a healthy smile. While regular brushing and flossing is an important part of smile care, it’s not enough to ensure a healthy smile. Smile care is important no matter how old you are. Once your child is four or five years old, they should have regular dental checkups.

Back to school can often be a hectic time, so make sure to schedule an appointment today for you or your child. Making the time for this appointment now will help ensure a healthy smile for years to come. Dental checkups are an important part of preventative dentistry and can help to catch small problems before they cause major damage to your smile.

Dr. King Scott’s West Monroe, LA dental office wants all our patients to have beautiful, healthy smiles. We serve patients from Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, and all of greater North Louisiana. Call us today to schedule an appointment!

Are you dissatisfied when you look in the mirror? Do you find yourself wanting a more attractive smile but aren’t sure where to start. At Dr. King Scott’s office, we recommend you consider one of our most popular cosmetic dentistry options, porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of quality porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth, allowing Dr. Scott to change the appearance of your smile. If your teeth are chipped, stained, cracked, misshaped or gapped, this can help refresh your smile immediately. Porcelain reflects light in a similar manner to your natural tooth enamel, so your new smile will look natural and seamlessly work with your face.

We use Empress and Velspath porcelain veneers. They’re carefully crafted to enhance your face and your appearance. With proper care, your porcelain veneers will last you a long time so your beautiful smile will also be a lasting one.

If you’re in search of a simple way to give yourself a new look, consider porcelain veneers. This cosmetic dentistry solution will give you a beautiful smile without requiring a lot of work. Call us today to see if this treatment is right for you.

Extractions for a Healthy Smile

July 18, 2013

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 1:52 pm

At Dr. King Scott’s office, we do all that we can to make sure each of your teeth are healthy and stay that way. Sometimes, teeth can become broken, cracked, or decayed beyond the point of repair. In these cases, extractions are needed to maintain the health of your smile.

If we think that your tooth requires extraction, we will take X-rays and thoroughly examine your smile before committing to this procedure. We want to help reduce your anxiety, while restoring the health of your smile. Depending on the situation, we may need to refer you to an oral surgeon to perform the extraction.

When it comes time for your tooth to be removed, we will anesthetize the affected area to minimize your discomfort. Once your tooth is gone, you’ll need to take care of the area to avoid infection. The first 24 hours following the procedure are where you should be the most careful. You’ll avoid things such as rinsing, spitting, hot foods, smoking, and alcohol for the first day and will be on a soft diet or liquid diet.  After several days to a week or so, you’ll feel much better.

We also offer dental implants and other solutions to help replace your missing tooth, so there’s no need to worry that an extraction will permanently change the appearance of your smile. Whether it’s needed because of damage, decay, crowding, or because it’s your wisdom teeth, we can help remove your teeth and ensure the health of your smile.

Dr. King Scott’s West Monroe, LA dental office wants all our patients to have beautiful, healthy smiles. We serve patients from Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, and all of greater North Louisiana. Call us today to schedule an appointment!

Cosmetic Dentistry for a Brighter Smile

Does your smile disappoint you? Do you find yourself wishing your teeth were whiter or brighter? Stop wishing and come see us! At Dr. King Scott’s dental office, we’re here to help with cosmetic dentistry services to help give you a smile you’ll be proud to show off!

There are more reasons to go to the dentist than just for a cleaning. We have a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry solutions to help improve your smile. Dr. Scott will analyze your smile, hear your concerns and wishes for your teeth, and come up with a customized smile plan to give you the smile of your dreams. We can even plan a smile makeover to really help your smile shine.

Teeth whitening can quickly and easily improve the color of your teeth and help remove stains from coffee, tea, wine or tobacco. Cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers are both great options if you’re not happy with the way your teeth are shaped, their color, the spacing between them, or even if they have cracks or chips.

A laser gum lift is helpful if you have excess gum tissue that makes your smile appear ‘gummy’. We can carefully trim away the excess tissue with a laser or by surgery, leaving you with a beautiful, well-proportioned smile.

Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to improve your smile. When you love your smile, it gives you more self confidence in all aspects of your life. We would love to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Restoring Function With Dental Implants

June 27, 2013

Filed under: Implant Dentistry,Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 4:30 pm

Dental implants are the most stable and sturdy way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. If you have missing teeth, implant dentistry is a great way to repair and restore your smile. It is important for your overall dental health that you have a full set of teeth. Dr. King Scott’s dental office is here to help by restoring and repairing your smile.

It is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible, because missing a tooth puts you at risk for losing more teeth or even bones.  If you have a missing tooth or teeth, you’ll start by coming in for a consultation. Dr. Scott will assess the state of your smile and ensure that you have adequate bone density to support dental implants.

Titanium posts will be inserted into your jawbone where the replacement teeth will go. They will be allowed to heal as they bond with your jaw over time, creating a strong base for your dental implant that mimics the root of a natural tooth. Once healed, your dental implant will be attached to the post, giving you a complete smile once again. Your replacement tooth will be carefully designed to match your natural teeth, giving you confidence in your smile once again.

Dental implants are a great way to improve the function and appearance of your smile. If you think this could be the right solution or want to know more, give us a call. We’d love to schedule a consultation to see if dental implants can help restore your smile.

Dr. King Scott has provided quality, full-service dentistry to patients for over three decades. His West Monroe, LA dental office serves patients from Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmerville, Columbia, South Arkansas and greater North Louisiana. Call our office today to schedule your appointment!

At Dr. King Scott’s dental office, we are always thinking of our patients and how to provide the best dental care possible. We put a lot of thought, effort and time into our dental treatments. A great example of this is through our use of wax-up models of your teeth and jaws.

Sometimes before starting treatment, Dr. Scott will make a wax model of your teeth and jaws. This allows him to ensure that the dental work he will perform will have the best possible impact on your smile. These models will also help you visualize your treatment so you can fully understand what you’re agreeing to before it happens.

We want our patients to be informed and play an active role in their smiles. By using a wax-up model, you can see how the treatment will impact the function of your smile. This is a helpful tool as sometimes it’s hard to imagine what your smile will look like at the end of your dental work.

Give us a call today and see for yourself how a wax-up model from Dr. Scott can improve your dental experience. We want our patients to always be excited with their smiles at every step of the process. Information from a wax up model can be a powerful tool.

Bruxism and Nightguards for Your Smile

April 25, 2013

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 8:15 pm

Do you find yourself grinding your teeth, especially at night or if you’re stressed? Teeth grinding is also referred to as bruxism, and can be a threat to the health of your teeth. At Dr. King Scott’s dental office, we can help you treat your bruxism before it threatens your teeth, gums and jaw.

Frequently, bruxism is triggered by stress, and many people may not even realize that they’re doing it. We are here to help by suggesting stress and anxiety management tips and use of an appliance such as a bruxism appliance or nightguard. Your bruxism appliance or nightguard will be custom made to fit your teeth, and will help keep you from grinding your teeth while you’re sleeping.

Symptoms of bruxism include headaches, earaches, and sore jaws. If you’re experiencing any of these, give us a call. It’s important to identify and treat your bruxism as soon as possible because your teeth will become worn down with time, causing increased discomfort. Also, the intense clenching and grinding could also contribute to TMJ dysfunction and cause further jaw discomfort.

If you’re grinding your teeth and can’t seem to stop, give us a call. We’re here to help with bruxism appliances or nightguards and other bruxism treatments. Also, we can repair any damage to your smile that may have occurred.

Oral Cancer Awareness

March 26, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 5:36 pm

Oral cancer is a serious health concern, and at Dr. King Scott’s dental office we want our patients to be informed and prepared. It kills more people nationwide than either cervical cancer or melanoma. The best thing you can do is to visit us regularly and educate yourself on the warning signs.

Signs of oral cancer include the following:

  • Flat, painless, red or white spots or sores
  • Change in color of oral tissues
  • Pain, tenderness or numbness in the mouth or lips
  • A lumpy, thick, rough, crusty spot or small, eroded area

If you see any of these symptoms, you should call our office right away. It is important to come see us every six months for your regular checkup, as we will check for signs of oral cancer. If you notice anything unusual it is important to call us, because the sooner oral cancer is detected, the greater the chance it can be treated.

Your risk of developing oral cancer is increased if you’re a smoker, drink frequently and often, are in the sun a lot, bite your cheek or lip habitually, or have poorly fitting dentures. Twenty five percent of oral cancer cases are found in people who do not have any of these risk factors, so just because you don’t fit the profile doesn’t mean that you have no risk of developing this.

Oral cancer is a serious health concern. It is important to be informed and visit us regularly to ensure the continued health of your gums and teeth. For more information, visit The Oral Cancer Foundation.

If you have decay or damage to your teeth, that will be repaired with restorative dentistry treatments such as crowns, fillings and bridges. If you’re missing a tooth or teeth, that will be addressed with prosthetic dentistry treatments such as dental implants.
