If you are missing teeth, then you’re familiar with the challenges. Even one missing tooth can make eating a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables difficult. Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak clearly, because teeth are vital to pronunciation and enunciation. Then, of course, there’s the knowledge that everyone who’s looking at you when you smile or speak sees the gaping hole in your mouth. You know you need to replace your teeth, but how? At Comal Dental, Dr. David Earnest and his team often use dental implants to take the place of missing teeth and restore natural-looking smiles.

Do I Need a Checkup with the Dentist New Braunfels Prefers Twice a Year?

November 16, 2015

The American Dental Association recommends patients visit the dentist every six months, and the Comal Dental team typically makes the same recommendation. However, it’s important to note that, as in all dental care, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for how often patients should visit the dentist. Twice a year seems to be an adequate interval to diagnose and treat even the most detrimental oral health concerns in their early stages. However, patients with chronic gingivitis, smokers, and those with immune compromising illnesses should likely visit the dentist much more frequently to maintain oral health. At Comal Dental, our New Braunfels dentist and team offer patients an opportunity to develop and customize a preventive dentistry treatment plan that meets their unique needs and smile goals.

The Differences Between Snoring and Sleep Apnea

September 19, 2015

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — tntadmin @ 2:54 pm

Loud snoring isn’t always a good indicator of sleep apnea

Getting a good night’s sleep is essential in maintaining excellent overall health. Not receiving the proper amount of sleep can be detrimental for your health. Not only can it leave you feeling overly exhausted, but it can impact your business and personal life as well. Typically, patients that suffer from loud snoring are typically diagnosed as being sleep apnea sufferers, but this isn’t necessarily the case. Just because a patient snores loudly during the night doesn’t translate to sleep apnea. Knowing the differences between the two is essential in deciding whether or not a patient is dealing with a sleep apnea problem.

Restoring Teeth with the CEREC One Visit Crowns New Braunfels Loves

August 4, 2015

Tooth restoration used to be a process that required two or more visits to complete. Dr. David Earnest and the Comal Dental team would discover the decay or damage, recommend a treatment using porcelain crowns, inlays or onlays, and you’d schedule a second visit to prepare the tooth and create an impression. Then, you’d wait with a temporary, plastic restoration that tended to be less comfortable and was easily damaged or dislodged. Finally, your permanent restoration arrived, and you had to schedule another appointment to have it placed. The whole process seemed to take an excessive amount of time and money. You couldn’t help but thinking there had to be an easier way to repair your broken smile. Thanks to CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), there is. CEREC offers you the ability to have your tooth prepared and restored in just one visit. If you’re interested in learning more about CEREC or any of our outstanding services, call our New Braunfels, TX practice to find out more today.
