What Is Restorative Dentistry?

By Dr. Nammy Patel August 1, 2022

Are you or a loved one experiencing severe decay, missing teeth, or unexplained pain in your mouth? If so, you may be in need of a restorative dentistry treatment. Restorative dentistry is any treatment that repairs and improves the function of a damaged tooth. I believe in exploring your needs and creating a plan that not only repairs your teeth, but also helps encourage lifelong health. If you have been experiencing issues with your oral health and find yourself avoiding your favorite foods, not smiling, and often in discomfort, I can help you. Read on to learn more about the many benefits restorative dentistry can provide.

Functional Dentistry

By Dr. Nammy Patel July 15, 2022

At Green Dentistry, we are passionate about not only the state of your oral health, but your overall health as well. As a holistic dental practice, we believe in functional dentistry and getting to the root of a problem instead of just treating an issue and sending you on your way. For example, if we have a patient who is regularly experiencing decay, we are of course going to treat the problem at hand, but we are also going to become detectives to try and understand what may be causing the decay. Too many times, problems are given a quick solution without finding the root of the problem, only for the same problem to come back again and again.

Importance Of Replacing Missing Teeth

By Dr. Nammy Patel May 15, 2022

Experiencing tooth loss can bring about a number of emotions for patients. Some patients feel upset and traumatized, while others feel anger over the state of their oral health. There are a number of reasons that patients may experience tooth loss, such as trauma to the mouth, side effects of medication or a medical condition, severe decay, and family history. At Green Dentistry, one of the ways we assist our patients is to help them choose a tooth replacement option as soon as possible to restore their oral health. Patients with prolonged tooth loss or who have experienced tooth loss in one of the rear molars often question if a replacement is truly necessary, and our response is — always.

By Dr. Nammy Patel May 1, 2022

For years, using saliva has been common practice in the medical field. For example, paternity tests and looking for a match for treatments such as stem cell transplants use saliva testing.

What May Be Causing Your Jaw Discomfort

By Dr. Nammy Patel April 15, 2022

At Green Dentistry, we want patients to live their best lives. If you are constantly in a state of discomfort, suffer from regular headaches, experience tension or clicking in your jaw, you are not living your best life. In fact, you may be suffering from a common condition known as temporomandibular joint disorder, also referred to as TMD. TMD is any pain or discomfort in the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull, or the surrounding muscles. Patients who remain untreated live in a constant state of discomfort, are not able to fully open their jaws, and have to limit their diets. Dr. Patel is not only able to diagnose TMD, she is also able to offer life changing treatments.
