If you have dentures you know how terrible they can be. They can make you feel self conscious about eating out and even laughing or chatting with friends.

I mean really, terrible denture accidents are all over you tube! http://www.dentalheroes.com/5-funny-denture-videos/.

I’d like to help you find comfort and security with the cosmetic dentures I design for you at my Northern VA office. I make sure your dentures fit well and look natural.

Chipped teeth? Crooked teeth? Gaps between teeth? While there are a variety of options for enhancing the appearance and health of your smile, the most effective and dramatic treatment is porcelain veneers.

 Veneers are thin sheets of translucent porcelain that are placed on the front of your teeth. They are shaped to fix a multitude of problems. Veneers can:

• Make teeth appear straight (instead of enduring months of orthodontic treatment)
• Close gaps between teeth
• Whiten stained teeth
• Restore chipped, worn or broken teeth

Porcelain veneers can be custom-made and permanently placed in only two to three visits, so your smile can be beautifully transformed in no time.

If you have missing teeth or wear dentures that don’t fit well, you may want to consider dental implants. Implant dentistry is available at my Nokesville dental practice.

 Dental implants are permanent dental fixtures that replace the teeth and roots. They can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth and can even be used to securely anchor dentures in place.

 Dental implants are so secure, you can eat, speak and smile with complete confidence and comfort. They look so natural, no one will know they’re not natural teeth!

As we begin to look forward to the New Year, we all start making resolutions. This year, make a resolution that you can keep. Resolve to be healthier. It’s as easy as starting with a full dental exam and preventive dental care in January!

Studies have linked the state of your oral health with the state of your overall health, so it just makes sense to start your goal of better health with a dental exam.

An unhealthy mouth – gum disease, tooth decay – affects your whole body.

The bacteria associated with gum disease has been linked to an increased risk of:

• Stroke
• Heart Attack
• Certain Cancers
• Inflammation
• And more

Tooth decay can lead to tooth loss and systemic infection.

 A comprehensive dental exam at my Northern Virginia dental practice assesses all of these potential  problems with advanced diagnostic technologies for the earliest possible detection.

Start the New Year off with good health and keep your resolution. It’s as easy as visiting the dentist.

To schedule your visit, just call my Nokesville dental office at 703.594.2151.

Even a small dental imperfection can have a major impact on the appearance of your smile and in your self-confidence. It could be a chipped tooth. It may be a gap between teeth. It may be a discolored tooth. Whatever it is, cosmetic dental bonding may be able to quickly, easily and comfortable resolve the problem and restore your smile.

The procedure is simple as applying a liquid enamel to your tooth. To learn more about cosmetic dental bonding, read http://www.bolildds.com/cosmetic.php.

But I think a picture is worth a thousand words. To see the results bonding can make in a smile, check out these photos: http://www.bolildds.com/gallery/gallery.php?page=Bonding&num=01

Do you get nervous about going to the dentist? You’re not alone. It’s estimated that over 75 percent of American adults experience some level of dental anxiety, ranging from mild to severe.

Whether you get a little nervous or are experience phobia so severe you won’t even go to the dentist, there’s something that can help. It’s called conscious sedation. It’s safe. It’s effective. And it will help you completely relax through your visit.

All you  have to do is let us know how you feel! If you’re nervous about an appointment, talk to us. We’ll prescribe an oral medication to take prior to your visit. The medication will help ease any worries or anxieties. When you get here, you’ll feel completely relaxed, and may even snooze during your treatment!

It may sound too good to be true, but it’s real. Learn more about sedation dentistry. Read http://www.bolildds.com/sedation.php

To make sedation part of your next visit, just call my Nokesville, VA dental practice at 703.594.2151.

Have you always wanted a straight smile, but feel you’re too old to undergo orthodontic treatment with metal wires and brackets? Or did you wear braces as a child, but your teeth have shifted over time?

Invisalign® is a perfect solution.

 Invisalign is a teeth straightening system that uses a series of clear plastic aligners to gently shift your teeth into a straight position. The aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush and floss; you can even remove them if you have an important meeting or social occasion to attend.

The aligners are custom-made to move your teeth into a final prescribed alignment. You wear each aligner in the series for about two weeks, then replace it with the next one. Over time, your teeth gradually and comfortably shift. At the end of treatment, you’ll have a straight, attractive smile.

To schedule your Invisalign consultation, call my Nokesville, VA dental office at 703.594.2151.
