Think about this. If people can see silver when you smile, they’re actually seeing all the cavities you’ve had, no matter when you had them. Whether you got those fillings as a child or as an adult, the fact is, it gives people the impression that you may have had bad dental habits that caused them. There’s no need to be embarrassed by your cavities when you can have them replaced by Dr. Moore with Las Vegas tooth colored composite fillings.

Las Vegas tooth colored composite fillings are generally made of the porcelain, which is why they can be made to look just like your teeth. Dr. Moore can not only shape the filling to look like your other teeth, but it can be colored to match the shade of your teeth too. That way, when you smile or laugh, or even when you talk, nobody will be able to tell a filled tooth from any other tooth in your mouth. So if you’d like to have the silver fillings in your teeth replaced with Las Vegas tooth colored composite fillings, call Moore Family Dentistry at 702-791-1010 in Las Vegas or 702-254-6700 in Summerlin to make an appointment.

Correcting your smile so that you have straight teeth in Las Vegas, with no over bite and no under bite, is something many people wished for when they were children, but many families couldn’t afford. At the same time, years ago, when only metal braces were available, it was a real fight to get teens to agree to wear all that metal in their mouth for two years or longer.

Today, there are many different options for people who want to straighten your teeth in Las Vegas. With the latest technology and the option of invisible braces, not only are braces more affordable, but it’s no longer the painful process it once was. The office of Moore Family Dentistry offers Invisalign clear aligner braces that can be used to straighten teeth with much less discomfort than the old metal braces. Not only are these aligners used for teens, but many adults are also finding them a great way to straighten their teeth as well.

Whether you have crooked teeth or crowded teeth that just don’t have room to come in straight, the Invisalign clear aligner system may be the perfect way to help give you a better-looking smile. One of the best things about the Invisalign system is that you can take them out when you eat. Just be sure to brush and floss after meals and put your clear aligners back in to continue their work. Those who have had metal braces will tell you that because metal braces could not be removed, there were many foods they simply could not eat. And if they did, that food would get trapped under the braces and not only be uncomfortable, but it could cause cavities as bacteria began to grow under the metal.

If you have crooked or crowded teeth, call the office of Dr. Moore at 702-791-1010 in Central Las Vegas or 702-254-6700 in Summerlin and ask how he can help straighten your teeth in Las Vegas. We’ll be happy to give you all the information and let you know if you are a candidate for Invisalign clear aligner braces.

Of course, there are varying degrees of TMJ problems, starting with that clicking every once in a while, to people having their entire jaw lock up at the joint. There are some people who have such terrible issues with Las Vegas TMJ pain that they can’t even open or close their mouth completely without severe pain. Before your pain gets that intense to the point where you need emergency surgery, make an appointment to talk about the dental options for TMJ pain. It may be that your jaw is out of alignment and something like a dental mouth piece or mouth guard might be all that’s needed to take away the pain. Dental mouth guards can be worn when you sleep to help put your jaw back in alignment and help ease the pain caused by your TMJ.

If you’re one of those people who tends to be nervous, it may be that you have been grinding your teeth in your sleep. Some people even grind their teeth during the day while they’re working and don’t even realize they’re doing it. These are also things that can cause issues with TMJ. Whatever your situation might be, Dr. Moore will be able to tell you whether a dental treatment for Las Vegas TMJ pain can help relieve your problem. Give our local Las Vegas dental office a call at 702-791-1010 or our Summerlin dental office at 702-254-6700 today.

Anxiety is a terrible thing when it comes to sitting in a dental chair for a lengthy procedure. If you need a root canal or your kids need braces and you don’t think they can sit comfortably through the procedure, it’s a good idea to ask Dr. Moore to use sedation. Sometimes sedation dentistry is called sleep dentistry, even though you’re not really asleep. The gentle relaxing agent used will make you a little groggy, but won’t put you to sleep altogether. It’s just enough to make you relax throughout the procedure so that you don’t get upset.

There are several types of Summerlin dental sedation that can be used by the dentist. Oral sedation means that you are given a pill that relaxes you. The pill, similar to valium, is usually taken about an hour before your procedure so that you’re relaxed when it’s time to start. Although you will feel drowsy, you will technically still be awake. If you have IV sedation, it will be done through a needle in your vein and will generally work faster than the pill. If you are really a basket case before heading to the dentist, you might want to ask about a deep sedation or even general anesthesia so that you’re completely knocked out and have no idea what’s going on throughout the procedure.

When you go in for your appointment with Dr. Moore, you’ll want to discuss your level of dental anxiety and decide which type of sedation is best for you. When it comes to Summerlin dental sedation, you can count on Dr. Moore to make the right decision and make you feel comfortable during all your dental procedures. You can make an appointment by calling one of our offices. Call 702-254-6700 for our Summerlin office for an appointment with one of our exceptional dentists.

Many people have no idea the amount of dental issues Las Vegas porcelain veneers can help solve. Paper thin porcelain veneer material can be placed over your teeth to solve a number of dental issues and give you the appearance you’ve always wanted. Fixing gaps in between teeth with veneer material can be so seamless you’ll have a hard time remembering what your smile looked before Dr. Moore did his magic.

When Dr. Moore plans your dental veneer procedure, he can not only fix the gaps in your teeth, but he can even change the size and shape of your teeth. At the same time, if your teeth a little crooked but they’re not bad enough to warrant dental braces, those crooked teeth can be given the look of straight teeth by applying just the right amount of Summerlin porcelain veneers material over them.

Covering up stained teeth that won’t come clean with dental cleanings or teeth whitening treatments is another use for porcelain veneer material. If your smile isn’t the bright white look you’ve always wanted, Dr. Moore can use Summerlin porcelain veneers to give you the whitest smile ever. So if you’re ready to change your smile into the one you’ve always wanted, call Moore Family Dentistry today at 702-791-1010 for our central Las Vegas office or 702-254-6700 for our Summerlin office. We’ll be happy to show you what porcelain veneers can do for you.

There are many things that can cause halitosis in Las Vegas. For example, if you’re not brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing on a regular basis, food that’s trapped in your teeth will be causing bacteria to grow. The bacteria in your mouth could be causing cavities to form, and that could be what’s causing your bad breath. What’s the simple solution? Brush after every meal and floss every day to prevent bacterial buildup. It may be a good idea to include mouthwash in your routine to be sure you’ve gotten rid of all the germs and have fresh-smelling breath.

If you have cavities, your breath will not be as fresh as it could be. Bacteria that’s destroying the enamel on your teeth and causing them to decay can cause a bad smell, even if the cavity is very small. The solution is to have regular dental checkups in Las Vegas to take care of any cavities and help prevent bad breath. When we take care of your cavities, your bad breath problems should be solved.

Remember, it’s better to get rid of the problem that’s causing your halitosis in Las Vegas than it is to try to cover it up. Good dental hygiene is important, and regular dental checkups can help make sure your teeth and gums are in the best shape possible. So if you have bad breath in Las Vegas, call our Maryland Parkway dental office at 702-791-1010 or our Summerlin dental office at 702-254-6700 and make an appointment today.

A root canal treatment in Las Vegas is really not a painful procedure at all. If someone has scared you into thinking that you shouldn’t go to the dentist for root pain, they’ve scared you for no reason. Years ago, a tooth extraction would be your only option for a tooth with an infected root. That was a scary procedure, considering the lack of today’s advancements in dentistry. But today, most dentists will tell you that infected or abscessed teeth can generally be saved. When the pulp in the middle of your tooth gets infected, you’ll have pain in your tooth and pain in your gum. Dr. Moore at Moore Family Dentistry is the first call you’ll want to make to take care of that pain.

Dr. Moore will take care of your pain by first administering a local anesthetic to numb the area. Then he’ll continue by removing the infection from the inside of your tooth, in the area known as the pulp. The canal is cleaned out and filled with a material that will permanently plug it so it can’t get infected again. Because of the anesthetic, any pain from the root canal treatment in Las Vegas should not be felt. Once it’s over, Dr. Moore will be able to cap your tooth with a dental crown that’s been made to look just like your other teeth. Once that crown is in place, you’ll look as good as new and nobody will be the wiser. So when you have pain and infection in your gum, call one of the offices of Moore Family Dentistry. For our central office, just off Sahara, call 702-791-1010, and for our Summerlin office, call 702-254-6700. We’ll help you get rid of the pain and smile again.

There are a lot of reasons for a Summerlin toothache emergency. With little kids, it could be something as simple as a new tooth trying to break through. When they’re a little older, they could get a toothache from a wisdom tooth trying to come into a space where there’s no room for it.

Tooth decay is another reason people get a toothache and can end up with a Summerlin dental emergency. When bacteria turns to acid in your mouth, it eats away at your tooth and causes decay in the form of a cavity. If you don’t come in and have your cavity taken care of, that decay can cause a lot of infection and pain. It’s not a good idea to ignore that toothache pain because if it gets too bad, you could end up losing your tooth. When the decay of a tooth hits the root, you can expect some pretty bad toothache pain.

The good thing to know when you or anyone in your family has a Summerlin toothache emergency is that you can always find relief by visiting Moore Family Dentistry. Our experienced team of dentists can help you feel better either at our central Las Vegas dental office on South Maryland Parkway, or at our Summerlin dental office on West Lake Mead Blvd. No matter what side of town you’re on, you can call on Moore Family Dentistry whenever you have toothache pain. If the pain is severe and you need to see a dentist right away, call and let us know you have an emergency and we’ll get you in as soon as possible. Call 702-791-1010 for our central office and 702-254-6700 for your Summerlin office.

People who don’t take advantage of a Las Vegas periodontal treatment that’s available from one of the doctors at Moore Family Dental will see the infection begin to affect the jawbone that supports the infected teeth. As the periodontal disease progresses, you could end up with teeth that become loose or some teeth that even fall out. Of course, Dr. Moore suggests that you come in for dental checkups on a regular basis, every six months, for continual dental checkups throughout your life. That way he can watch for symptoms and take care of any periodontal problems before they cause big issues for you.
