Porcelain Veneers from Dr. Scott

August 1, 2013

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

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

July 4, 2013

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

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!

We Plan Your Smile With Wax-Up Teeth Models

May 9, 2013

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.

Receive Expert Treatment for your TMJ Disorder in West Monroe, LA

February 5, 2013

In the dentist’s office, you hear about all sorts of common oral health problems, from cavities to gum disease to discoloration. One of the conditions that can be the most frustrating and uncomfortable, though, affects an area you may not first think of when considering dental care – the jaw. Your jaws are crucial tools that enable you to speak and eat, and they’re supported by small joints (commonly known as temporomandibular joints) that connect them to the skull and an intricate system of nerves and muscles.  However, when these joints are even slightly misaligned, it can cause debilitating symptoms. These symptoms are commonly known as temporomandibular (TMJ) disorder. Thankfully, here at our West Monroe practice, Dr. King Scott and his team are able to provide effective and efficient treatment for TMJ disorder, thanks to both Dr. Scott’s specially honed expertise and our commitment to providing well-rounded and personalized dental health care to patients of all ages.

How do I know if I suffer from TMJ disorder?

Take a look at these common symptoms of TMJ disorder:

  • Constant, excessive headaches
  • Popping or clicking jaw joints
  • Persistent pain in the face, neck, head, shoulders, or back
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Jaw discomfort when chewing, or an inability to fully open or close one’s mouth

If one or more of these sound familiar, then Dr. Scott would like to see you so that he can inspect your jaws for signs of TMJ disorder.

What kind of treatment can you offer me?

Many dentists can offer help to those seeking relief from TMJ disorder. However, Dr. Scott has set himself apart by studying TMJ therapy and bruxism in-depth at The Dawson Academy –and The Piper Center – both in St. Petersburg, FL; his care is precise, informed, and most important of all, carefully personalized to fit your unique needs as a patient who deserves relief. He can prescribe a custom-made mouth appliance to correct TMJ disorder, and has been bringing smiles to beleaguered patients’ faces for years with minimally invasive TMJ splint therapy. He can discuss your unique case with you in more depth once you come in for a consultation.

Don’t suffer in silence any longer – let Dr. Scott and his team give your teeth a break with expert TMJ treatment. Call our West Monroe, LA practice today to schedule a consultation. We also serve patients from Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, and all of greater North Louisiana.

Fix Your Smile and Feel Great Again with Tooth-Colored Fillings from Dr. Scott

January 23, 2013

It’s always frustrating to go in for a routine dental check-up, only to be told you have a cavity. Cavities are small, sneaky, and potentially destructive – if left untreated for too long, they can grow to threaten the health of your entire tooth. The idea of having dark, metal-based fillings put in, though, can be a tough one to swallow, especially if you’ve worked hard to create a professional image focused around a flawless smile. Dark fillings are distracting and obvious, alerting everyone you come in contact with that you’ve had dental work done, which could lead to a variety of potentially embarrassing situations. Here in West Monroe, LA, we understand your hesitation – you deserve to be able to keep your teeth perfectly healthy and happy without having to sacrifice the cosmetic beauty of your smile. Thankfully, Dr. King Scott is committed to providing you with effective and personalized service that puts your needs first. That’s why he’s happy to offer tooth-colored fillings as a restorative option at his West Monroe practice.

So what exactly are tooth-colored fillings, if they’re not made of metal?

Simple – they’re made of composite resin, a silicon-dioxide mixture that can be blended and mixed in order to match the exact shade of your natural teeth. Composite resin fillings have several advantages over traditional metal fillings: for instance, only you and Dr. Scott will have any idea that they’re there at all, resulting in a perfectly healthy smile with zero of the embarrassment.

In addition, tooth-colored fillings last just as long, if not longer, than traditional fillings, and actually work much better with your natural teeth, deterring further breakage as well as allowing us to keep more of the natural structure intact. Our team strongly believes in conservative dentistry – we want to help you hold on to as much of your original teeth as you can. With tooth-colored fillings, we can accomplish that goal much more easily than ever before.

If you have a cavity that needs treatment, don’t hesitate – Dr. Scott and his excellent team want to keep you safe and smiling with the help of composite resin, tooth-colored fillings. Call our West Monroe, LA practice today to schedule an appointment. We also serve patients from Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, and all of greater North Louisiana.

Dental Checkups for the New Year

January 16, 2013

Start the New Year off right with a dental checkup appointment at Dr. King Scott’s office. Make a commitment to your dental health this year and come see us every six months for healthy teeth!

You may be asking yourself why you need to keep coming back if you’re brushing twice a day and rinsing with Listerine after you brush and your teeth seem fine. A dental checkup is crucial because there are many things that could be going on with your teeth that you cannot see or remove yourself. Plaque and bacteria and calculus can build up on your teeth, and can only be removed by our dental team.

We are also checking you for signs of oral cancer, periodontal disease or other dental health concerns. If left unchecked, these can cause a threat to your overall general health and certainly your total dental health. Since there may not be a lot of symptoms, it is essential that you come see us regularly. With regular care and examinations, these issues can be detected and treated appropriately, helping you have a healthy, terrific smile.

Your old restorative dental work maybe wearing out and may be in need of replacement because of wear or decay. We will ensure the health of your teeth by doing a comprehensive tooth by tooth exam for cavities, decayed fillings and broken down filling along with and other dental concerns.

A dental checkup is an important tool to help ensure the best health of your teeth. Come in a minimum of two times a year to keep your smile shining bright!
