May 29, 2015

ThinkstockPhotos-man oral examThe phrase “best around” gets tossed around a lot. But, when it comes to offering Powell, WY with the best dentistry services, Dr. Lance Anderson in Lovell, WY truly is the best around. He does what a lot of other dentists simply can’t, by offering new-patient specials and 24/7 dental emergency assistance. Lovell Dental truly is the cream of the dentistry crop.

 

We Offer Convenient 24/7 Emergency Dental Service

Emergencies can happen suddenly and unexpectedly. We understand this, which is why we offer emergency dental service. When you call, the only voice you will hear answering is Dr. Anderson’s.

If a tooth or several teeth have been knocked out, it’s best to see Dr. Anderson within a 30-minute period. While waiting for your emergency appointment, heed these steps to preserve the tooth:

  • Handle the tooth by the crown and avoid touching the root
  • Gently rinse the tooth to ensure that it’s clean
  • Try to place the tooth back in its socket and hold it in place while gently biting down
  • If you can’t place the tooth in its socket, put it in a cup of milk and head for Dr. Anderson’s office

Additional dental emergencies may include a loose or misaligned tooth, a severely cracked or fractured tooth, and any type of serious tissue injury affecting the lips, mouth, teeth or gums. If any problem requires saving a tooth, stopping continuous bleeding or relieving severe pain, you most likely have a dental emergency on your hands. Give us a call when any dental emergency arises.

Root Canal Therapy in Big Horn County

April 28, 2015

480377293No one wants to hear they have a tooth that needs a root canal. However, when you consider the alternatives—infection, pain, possibly losing a tooth—then a root canal becomes the solution to a serious dental concern. And with today’s modern dental techniques and advanced anesthesia, a root canal is nothing like the false reputation that precedes it. Dr. Lance Anderson at Lovell Dental in Lovell, WY, has taken advanced coursework necessary to conveniently provide root canal therapy for Big Horn County.

To understand what makes a root canal necessary, let’s first look at the construction of a tooth. The outside layer, or enamel, is hard and protective. Dentin is the next layer and it is sensitive. Finally, at the core of each tooth is the dental pulp. Here are the tooth’s nerve and lymph tissues as well as blood vessels. If bacteria reaches this pulp chamber whether by way of severe decay or a serious tooth fracture, then the tooth becomes infected. Signs that a tooth is infected include acute pain, swollen gum tissue around the tooth, sudden discoloration of a tooth and bad breath.

Root Canal Therapy Big Horn County Trusts

Once Dr. Anderson is certain you’re comfortable, he will access your infected tooth and completely remove all signs of infection in the pulp chamber and the connected root canals. Then, the chamber is disinfected and filled with an anti-bacterial and biocompatible material. To protect the tooth, Dr. Anderson will likely recommend a natural looking porcelain crown. He will prepare the tooth for this permanent crown and place a temporary in the meantime. When your permanent crown is ready, you’ll return to Lovell Dental to have Dr. Anderson adhesively bond the crown into place. Your tooth will be restored to good health and function.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned signs that can indicate the need for a root canal, then call Lovell Dental to schedule an appointment with Dr. Anderson. We serve patients in Lovell, WY, as well as the Big Horn County cities of Greybull, Basin, Cowley, Deaver, Frannie, Manderson, Burlington, and Byron, the Park County cities of Powell and Cody, and neighboring areas.

Botox Therapy for TMJ in Lovell, WY

March 28, 2015

151019092Temporomandibular joint disorder, better known as TMJ, has a number of causes ranging from bruxism or teeth grinding and clenching, traumatic injury to the jaw and even arthritis. The condition affects the muscles and joints situated on either side of your face just in front of your ears. It is these muscles and joints that allow you to open and close your mouth. With TMJ, however, that otherwise simple movement can be mildly uncomfortable to indescribably painful. Fortunately, there is treatment. One of the more recently discovered treatments is the same one that some people use to reduce wrinkles caused by aging. Botox injections are now being used to treat TMJ. Dr. Lance Anderson at Lovell Dental in Lovell, WY, recently completed continuing education courses from the American Academy of Facial Esthetics that qualify him to safely and effectively provide Botox therapy for TMJ relief as well as for cosmetic purposes.

Aside from pain, the symptoms of TMJ include:

  • A popping sound when you open or close your mouth
  • The feeling of an earache in the absence of infection
  • Headaches, including migraines
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Swelling on the side of the face
  • The feeling of a locked jaw
  • Changes to your bite

What is Botox?

Botox is a brand name for Botulinum toxin, which is a protein produced by a particular bacterium that causes muscle paralysis. By paralyzing specific facial muscles, Botox relaxes wrinkles, thereby reducing the visual effects of aging. For TMJ, Botox works similarly in that it relaxes the muscles that tighten and put undue pressure on the joints. Although Botox does not treat the underlying causes of TMJ, it does seem to provide relief from painful and annoying symptoms.

Currently, Botox is not an FDA-approved treatment for TMJ, so it is considered “off-label.” This simply means that more research is required for Botox to gain the FDA’s approval.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you would like to talk to Dr. Anderson about how Botox might relieve your TMJ symptoms, then call our office today. We serve patients in Lovell, WY, as well as the Big Horn County cities of Greybull, Basin, Cowley, Deaver, Frannie, Manderson, Burlington, and Byron, the Park County cities of Powell and Cody, and neighboring areas.

Restore Confidence, Health, and Quality of Life with New Dental Implants in Lovell, WY

February 6, 2015

176821818If missing teeth are causing you to miss out on life, you should consider tooth loss treatment with new dental implants. Missing teeth, worn down bridgework, and ill fitting dentures can significantly impact your quality of life. But dental implant restorations offer new hope for tooth loss patients who are seeking a better way to replace the natural form and function of missing teeth. These small biocompatible titanium posts can fully restore your confident smile while protecting your long term dental and overall health. No other tooth replacement method can make these claims. If you care about your long term appearance and health, schedule a dental implants consultation with Dr. Anderson at Lovell Dental today. Dr. Anderson is an experienced implant dentist, now delivering quality care daily throughout Lovell, WY, the Big Horn County cities of Greybull, Basin, Cowley, Deaver, Frannie, Manderson, Burlington, Byron, the Park County cities of Powell and Cody, and the surrounding communities.

Tooth Loss Leads to Bone Loss

Tooth loss has consequences that go far beyond the appearance of your smile. The jaw bone and bones that support your facial structures need stimulation to maintain their form and density. Bone resorption is a normal and inevitable process in which bone is lost when it is no longer supporting or connected to teeth. The alveolar bone which directly surrounds and supports your teeth operates this way. When a tooth is lost the lack of stimulation causes loss of alveolar bone. In fact, there is a 25% decrease in bone width almost immediately. Therefore, the more teeth you lose the more bone you lose. Bone loss in the face can cause premature aging, a sunken in facial appearance, decreased bite force, and bite misalignment among many other oral health problems.

Dental Implants Preserve Healthy Bone

The primary reason to choose dental implants, instead of bridgework or dentures, is because only dental implants can replace your missing teeth and preserve healthy bone structures. Because dental implants can fully fuse to your bone, they stabilize it and prevent any further loss. Only dental implants can stop the bone resorption process and protect your natural appearance and dental health.

Are Dental Implants Safe?

Absolutely. Titanium dental implants have been placed extensively since the 1970’s. Titanium is used because of its biocompatibility, light weight, and strength. It is in fact the most widely used material of all orthopedic joint replacement surgeries, and titanium dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device.

Dr. Anderson Offers Comprehensive Family Emergency Dental Care in Lovell, WY

When Do You Need Emergency Dental Care?

  • Knocked Out Tooth: When a tooth exits the mouth, the tissues, nerves, and blood vessels become damaged. If the tooth can be placed back into its socket within an hour, there is a good chance the tissues will grow back to support the tooth again.
  • Broken Filling or Crown: Dental crowns can become loose because the tooth beneath is decaying, which causes shape changes in the teeth. Once it is out of the mouth, the affected tooth may be incredibly sensitive to temperature changes and pressure.
  • Cracked, Chipped or Broken Tooth: If the fracture or crack extends down into the root, it is likely to be extremely painful. If a tooth has been fractured or cracked, there is no alternative but to see the dentist as quickly as possible.
  • Toothache Pain/Sensitivity: Toothache pain should never be ignored or tolerated, as it is usually an indication of a serious infection inside your tooth.
  • Broken Dentures or Bridges: Dr. Anderson offers same-day denture repair and emergency denture care and dental bridge services.
