Tips for Maintaining Great Oral Hygiene from the Family Dentist El Reno Loves
People sometimes believe that regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings are non-essential as long as they maintain a consistent at-home care routine. However, there are dental health concerns that go unnoticed to the untrained eye, and even the most thorough brushing and flossing allows the buildup and hardening of plaque into calculus or “tartar.” This hardened plaque cannot be removed without the assistance of professional dental hygienists at El Reno Family Dentistry. Let our team help you achieve and maintain your optimal level of oral health. Call our conveniently located El Reno, OK dental practice to schedule a checkup and teeth cleaning today.

Dental Implants, El Reno, OK
Missing teeth can change the way you look, talk, chew, and live. Left unreplaced they can cause long-term damage to your dental health. No one knows this better than Dr. Cohlmia and El Reno Family Dentistry team. When one of our hygienists lost a tooth, she wanted to restore her smile, not just replace her tooth. She chose to have a dental implant placed, and share her story with all of our patients from start to finish. If you need one or more teeth replaced, dental implants may be your best solution. Call our convenient El Reno, OK office to find out more, or schedule your dental implant consultation today.

The Story
No matter who you are or how well you care for your teeth, sometimes even the most complete preventive dental care falls short. One of the El Reno Family Dentistry hygienists recently learned that lesson the hard way. During a regular checkup, we noticed a crack in a tooth that had previously undergone root canal therapy (Image 1). Further exploration determined that the tooth was not reparable. We discussed tooth replacement options, but our hygienist wanted the full tooth restoration afforded her by having a dental implant placed.
Unlike traditional tooth replacement, dental implants replace both the visible, chewing surface of the tooth and the root. The root of our teeth provides the anchor that holds them in place, but the root also serves the purpose of assisting in gum tissue and bone density retention. Replacing only the eating surface without a root replacement, does not provide a complete dental restoration.

The Implant
Like any other patient, our hygienist scheduled her dental implant appointment where we surgically placed a titanium post below her gums to replace the root, and attached an abutment to support the custom, permanent crown. Then, we waited while the implant fused to her jawbone (Image 2). Once the implant was secure, we replaced her temporary crown with a permanent replacement tooth.
Her smile has always been beautiful, but she had some discolorations on the surrounding teeth (Image 3), and chose to apply veneers to the surrounding teeth to provide a cohesive color and added layer of protection against future decay. The final result was a beautiful, picture-perfect smile, and she couldn’t be happier (Image 4).
If you’re wondering which of our lovely ladies got the implant, we’ll never tell because you’ll never know the difference.

El Reno Family Dentistry FREE First Visit™ in El Reno, OK
We know that you do your very best to take care of your family. Healthy meals, a comfortable home, clean clothes, sufficient sleep, and required vaccinations and visits to the doctor when necessary. We also know that there just isn’t time for everything. Sometimes your schedule doesn’t allow for what seems like an unimportant trip to the dentist. After all, you and your family brush your teeth and floss every day—and no one is in pain—so why make the time for another appointment in your busy day? Well, at El Reno Family Dentistry in El Reno, OK, we want to encourage you and each member of your family to see the dentist regularly, so we are offering a FREE First Visit.
A recent survey conducted among Oklahomans shows that only about half of them regularly visit the dentist. Dr. Michael Kirk and Dr. Adam Cohlmia and their team at El Reno Family Dentistry are out to change that statistic. Not only are there risks to your oral health if you don’t visit the dentist, but there are also risks to your overall health. The same bacteria in your mouth that can cause gum disease, have been linked to systemic illnesses and diseases. These include high blood pressure, stroke and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and premature or low birth weight in newborn infants.
We want all Oklahomans to have the opportunity to see the dentist. Our Free First Visit makes squeezing that appointment into your schedule a bit easier.
Your FREE First Visit
Whether for you or another member of your family, your El Reno Family Dentistry FREE First Visit will entail a complete and thorough cleaning of your teeth, including the removal of any plaque buildup that can lead to a common and serious oral health concern—gum disease. Did you know that gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, afflicts some 60 million Americans, and most of those people don’t know they have the disease? If you’ve ever noticed that your gums bleed when you brush or floss, then don’t delay. Take advantage of the El Reno Family Dentistry Free First Visit and schedule your appointment today with Dr. Cohlmia today.
Dr. Cohlmia and a dental hygienist will also carefully check each one of your teeth for cavities. And your FREE First Visit includes x-rays, too, so we can uncover any hidden spots of tooth decay or even infection that might be lying below the gum line. We’ll also instruct you on how you can do a more complete job of brushing and flossing your teeth at home to help ensure your continued good dental health.
Schedule an Appointment Today
If it’s time for you or another member of the family to see the dentist, then call El Reno Family Dentistry and ask about a FREE First Visit with Dr.Adam Cohlmia. We serve patients from throughout El Reno, OK, Minco, Hinton, Calumet, and the neighboring Canadian County areas.
