Dr. Adam Cohlmia and his team are ready to take your smile from winter blah to summer sensational with one of our teeth whitening treatments.

The Need for Teeth Whitening

As people age, teeth can become stained and discolored for a number of different reasons, not the least of which is the unavoidable aging process itself. Other reason can be:

  • The foods and beverages we enjoy most and frequently, such as tomato sauces, berries, chocolate, coffee, tea, cola and red wine
  • Teeth grinding and clenching, which can cause imperceptible micro-cracks along the surface of teeth that hide discoloring debris
  • Smoking and chewing tobacco, both of which contain nicotine, a compound that deeply stains teeth
  • Certain medications, such as the antibiotic tetracycline
  • Tooth injuries, including chips and cracks that can collect stains and food particles

Regardless of the reason for your stained and discolored smile, El Reno Family Dentistry offers a teeth whitening system to fit your schedule and your budget.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

For teeth whitening that is fast and convenient, choose our in-office system. In just one appointment, you’ll have a smile that is white and refreshed. When you come to El Reno Family Dentistry for in-office teeth whitening, we’ll apply a professional-grade bleaching gel to your teeth. After about an hour, the gel will be removed to reveal your new smile that is several shades whiter and brighter than your old smile.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

For those patients who either don’t have the time for another appointment in their busy schedules or who simply prefer to whiten in the quiet and privacy of their own homes, El Reno Family Dentistry offers an at-home teeth whitening kit. We’ll give you custom-fitted whitening trays and bleaching solution. Simply fill the trays with solution and wear them according to Dr. Kirk’s or Dr. Cohlmia’s instructions. You’ll notice a difference after the first treatment, with the brightest change happening after a couple of weeks.

Renovate Your Smile with Restorative Crown and Bridgework in El Reno, OK

March 10, 2015

134124545Damaged or missing teeth can place an undue burden on everyday life. Tooth structure can be missing due to disease, decay, the deterioration of previous dental work, or the fracturing or trauma of a tooth. Missing teeth can change your bite alignment and cause the shifting of remaining teeth. It can also lead to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and speech impediments, as well as increase your risk of developing periodontal disease and further decay. Fortunately, modern dentists can now offer a variety of effective methods, like crown and bridgework, to fully replace or restore missing teeth and missing parts of the tooth structure. If you’re suffering from tooth loss or damage of any kind, schedule a restorative dentistry appointment with Dr. Cohlmia and El Reno Family Dentistry today. Dr. Cohlmia is a highly qualified restorative dentist, now proudly delivering quality care daily throughout El Reno, OK, Minco, Hinton, Calumet, and the surrounding Canadian County communities.

Restore Damaged Teeth with Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, or caps, can restore the functionality of a damaged tooth. They may be used to preserve a fractured tooth, repair a tooth with extensive decay, replace a pre-existing restoration, protect a root canal restored tooth, or replace a missing tooth using a bridge or implant. The dental crown most often serves to fully encase a vulnerable tooth so that it is insulated from further destruction.

Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Bridgework

Dental bridges, like dental implants and partial dentures, are used to replace missing teeth. Dental bridges are fixed restorations (non-removable) that can be conventional, cantilever, or resin-bonded. Usually, conventional and cantilever bridges require the reduction and reshaping of the teeth surrounding your missing tooth. Dental crowns are then placed over the shaped teeth and joined with an artificial replacement tooth in the middle. A resin-bonded bridge, on the other hand, requires less preparation of adjacent teeth. It is most often used to replace missing front teeth, provided that the gums are healthy and the surrounding teeth have not already had extensive restorative work performed.

El Reno Restorative Dentistry Appointments

One or more missing teeth can significantly impact the appearance and functioning of your smile. If your teeth have sustained damage of any variety, schedule the restorative dentistry appointment you need with Dr. Cohlmia and El Reno Family Dentistry today. Dr. Cohlmia is a trusted and experienced crown and bridgework dentist, now proudly serving patients daily throughout El Reno, OK, Minco, Hinton, Calumet, and the neighboring Canadian County areas.

Intra-Oral Cameras at Grand Dental El Reno

February 7, 2013

At Grand Dental El Reno, we are dedicated to using dental technology to help improve the quality of care that we provide to our patients. One of those innovations is the intra-oral camera.

The intra-oral camera is a special tool to help our patients see their teeth from the same view we have. This is done by using a special wand with a camera on the end that we will insert into your mouth. It will take a video of the inside of your mouth and send the color images to a TV screen you can view from the comfort of the dental chair.

You’ll be able to see a clear, up close color image of your teeth and gums. This can be especially helpful when it comes to detecting and treating early stages of oral health concerns. You can see the exact area to focus on when caring for your teeth, and better understand the diagnosis and importance of the suggested treatment.

An intra-oral camera is a great tool to help our patients better understand their teeth and achieve better oral health. You can see your teeth in the same way that we do, and see exactly how your dental care habits affect your teeth.

Interested in learning more about intra-oral cameras or scheduling your next appointment? Call us today at Grand Dental El Reno! Our office is located in El Reno and serves patients from Minco, Calumet, Hinton, and other communities in the Canadian County.
