On average, it takes your gums three months to heal from crown lengthening. To see if crown lengthening is right for you, book a consultation with our Lower Gwynedd, PA dentist.

Crown lengthening is a procedure that removes excess gum tissue and possibly bone to expose more of the tooth. It may be done for oral health or cosmetic reasons, such as creating symmetrical gums or longer-looking teeth. Looking for crown lengthening in Lower Gwynedd, PA? Contact us to schedule a consultation.

A dental bone graft is a procedure used to add bone density and volume to your jawbone. It's often required if you don't have sufficient bone to support a dental implant or if bone loss is affecting the health and function of nearby teeth and gums. Have questions? Call us at 215-646-5777 or visit our website.

No. A permanent denture includes a modified denture (set of teeth) that can attach to implants along with 4 or more dental implants (the post that's surgically placed within your jawbone). A dental implant may be used to secure a dental crown or bridge too. Interested in permanent dentures in Lower Gwynedd, PA? Contact Dr. Joshua Stelzer.

Poor oral hygiene. But more specifically, plaque is the primary cause of periodontal disease. Plaque is a buildup of harmful bacteria and acids. When this plaque isn't removed due to poor oral hygiene and/or avoiding professional dental cleanings, it hardens and turns into calculus. This causes gingivitis, an irritation and inflammation of your gums. If left untreated, gingivitis turns into periodontitis, causing pockets between your teeth and gums that fill with bacteria. Contact us if you're due for a cleaning or think you have periodontal disease.

The short answer: Professional tooth whitening by a dentist. Why? It'll work better than store-bought or DIY methods. Professional teeth whitening removes intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (surface) stains, which means whiter, even, and longer-lasting results. It's also customized to you, including your sensitivity and desired shade of white. Contact us to book a teeth whitening appointment: https://www.stelzerdental.com/contact/

On average, getting a dental implant takes three to nine months. This includes removing the existing tooth (if needed), surgically placing the implant, allowing the bone to heal and fuse with the implant, and creating and placing the implant restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). We don't do the whole procedure at our office, just the restoration of dental implants. To find out more about our services, contact us for a consultation: https://www.stelzerdental.com/contact/

When plaque isn't removed (often caused by a lack of brushing or visiting the dentist for a cleaning), it hardens and turns into calculus. Another word for calculus is tartar. Unlike plaque, tartar cannot be removed by brushing or flossing. It's strongly bonded onto your teeth and must be removed by a dental hygienist. Otherwise, it may lead to tooth decay (cavities) and gum diseases.

A dental implant is an excellent choice for replacing a missing, broken, or severely decayed tooth. It's the only restoration that'll replace an entire tooth from root to crown. This helps to make the implant look, feel, and function like a real tooth. No one will notice!
