Energy Drinks and Sports Drinks: Irreversable Damage

 

Dental Professionals are always telling patients to drink less soda and drink more water.  But did you know that Sports Drinks and Energy Drinks are so acidic they can do more damage than soda?  A lot of people will choose one of these drinks thinking it will improve their sports performance and give them energy.  What they don't understand is that levels of acid are so high in these drinks that they are permanently damaging the tooth enamel.  Once the enamel is compromised, the underlying tooth surface, dentin, is exposed.  This surface is not as strong as enamel and decays much more quickly.   This is becoming a wide spread problem, especially among the youth in our country.  The rate of decay among teenagers is growing and reseachers believe these types of drinks are to blame. 

The best way to manage this type of decay is to aviod these drinks all together.  If you must drink them, you should drink them down, DO NOT SIP ON THEM!!!!  Sipping on these drinks over time does not allow the teeth any time to recover from the acids.  This will cause more rapid decay.  Also, if you have a sports or energy drink you should wait at least an hour before you brush your teeth.  The acids from these drinks soften the enamel.  

If brushing occurs before the enamel hardens up again, it can brush the enamel away.  Drinking or rinsing with water after comsuming a sports or energy drink will help stop the acids from attacking the teeth.  But remember, the best thing is to not drinks these drinks at all.  Water is the best choice!

Our Commitment

Some general dentists have been concerned about referring a patient to another general dentist, until they found our level of commitment to our relationship with them, and the ease and comfort that patients experienced. We are committed to the highest standard of patient and clinical care. We will spend as much time as required to plan treatment and present the treatment to your patient so they can make an informed and appropriate treatment choice. Patients are always provided with a detailed written treatment plan. Patients will only be treated for the conditions or problems for which they were referred. Should additional treatment be required to achieve this goal then we will liaise with the referring dentist prior to any treatment being carried out. We will keep you informed as to the patient's progress and the patient will be referred back on completion of treatment. We make it quite clear to patients that they are your patients and we are being asked to provide a specific service and ongoing care is to be carried out by the referring dentist.

Dental Implants as a primary treatment option has grown enormously over the last few years both within the profession and the general public. It offers a very predictable method of replacing single or multiple teeth up to full arch reconstruction and to stabilize problem dentures.

Success rates of 98% are usual, whichever Implant system is used. We have placed and restored over 2,000 Implants over 20 years, using various systems, and this work now occupies over 80% of our clinical time.

The Facility

The Hamblin Dental Implant Center moved to its present location in Sandy, Utah in January 2006 after 20 plus years in California. Our purpose, is designed to provide optimum levels of personal and clinical care for involved reconstructive procedures. Separate consultation areas with audio-visual aids are used to present treatment to patients. We believe in spending as much time as required to enable patients to make informed and comfortable decisions regarding the possible treatment available to them. Trained and experienced staff are present to deal with all aspects of clinical and patient care. The clinical environment is specifically designed and equipped to provide Implant based reconstructive dentistry with a strong emphasis on infection control.

Levels of Referral

We routinely provide single tooth replacements up to full arch and full mouth Implant borne reconstructions. This includes additional grafting techniques such as sinus augmentation, onlay bone grafts and soft tissue corrections and augmentation where required. A cornerstone of our philosophy is using evidence based techniques to build a sound hard and soft tissue environment into which Implants can be placed. This provides the best chance of predictable, bio-mechanically and aesthetically sound reconstructions.

We appreciate that many practitioners are now involved or becoming involved in Implant dentistry, and as such, we are keen to promote Implant dentistry both to the profession and public alike. This is to the mutual benefit of all concerned. We are able to offer referrals on various levels as listed below and are keen to involve referring dentists in the planning and completion of the treatment.

Level 1: Opinion Only
Patients and dentists who are exploring their treatment options

Level 2: Augmentation Procedures
Patient is referred for hard/or soft tissue augmentations prior to the referring dentist placing and restoring the implants.

Level 3: Surgical Referral
Implant placed along with any augmentation procedures carried out by the Practice. The restorative planning and treatment is carried out by the referring dentist.

Level 4: Full Case Referral
The patient is referred for all planning, surgical and restorative aspects of the treatment.

All patients referred to our practice are graciously returned to the referring office immediately following the requested services.

We are extremely enthusiastic about Implant dentistry and are happy to offer advice and technical back-up to dentists who wish to become involved in restoring straight forward cases and to establish Implant dentistry as a treatment option for their Practice. Various Implant systems have been used in the Practice, including Nobel Biocare, Zimmer, Straumann, Blue-Sky Bio, Astra, MIS 7, Implant Direct and Ankylos.

"The eyes are the window to the soul. A smile is the window to the heart."

It has been noted by many social studies that the first thing we notice about people is their eyes. The second thing we notice is their smile.

Often, we are judged professionally and socially based on our appearance. A confident smile helps us project a positive image. People who don't smile naturally, may be seen as timid, lacking confidence, or possibly, even unfriendly. When your smile is healthy and attractive, many benefits follow. When you smile, people around you will smile too!

Nature didn't give you a perfect smile? Do you wish you could wave a magic wand and have a smile that projects your true personality?

Porcelain Veneers are a breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry. Veneers are a thin, "shell" of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. Veneers enable us to change the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth in just two visits.

Veneers are more durable than conventional "bonding." Because they are made of porcelain, they are very strong and are resistant to staining and chipping. An additional advantage of Veneers is that they are a more conservative procedure than crowns.

Veneers are a cosmetic treatment for a variety of dental conditions including:

• Spaces or gaps
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Stained or discolored teeth-you can have a whiter, brighter smile!
• Crooked teeth

The change in a person's appearance after a "smile lift" can be dramatic. When we look good, we feel good, and the people around us take notice. Projecting an image of self-confidence can be life-changing! Dr. Hamblin has been changing the lives of many with veneers for over 20 years.  We have had patients get married, land a new job, or get a promotion soon after getting their new smile!

People seek aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry for a variety of reasons. Some people want to look younger, and aesthetic dentistry is like a smile facelift that can quickly "reverse" the natural aging process of the teeth. Others, the majority, have had an unattractive smile their whole lives and have always felt self-conscious because of this. They rarely smile, which covers up a pleasant side of their personality.

Modern dentistry offers a wide variety of treatment options for people seeking to enhance their smile. The options range from porcelain veneers, dental implants, porcelain crowns to braces (or invisalign)! In many situations, a combination of these techniques is required to provide the ultimate result.

Dr. Scott Hamblin explains the many different techniques available in the field of aesthetic dentistry and shows you the simulated before and after right on the computer screen and sometimes he actually can show you what your new smile could look like when treatment is completed. If you have ever thought about cosmetic dentistry, this appointment with Dr Hamblin can be extremely helpful in understanding what is possible.

Dental Implants Utah - Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental Implants Utah - Benefits of Dental Implants

 

Glenda Ryser, Implant Patient from Utah
"For many years I had, what I labeled, an incurable, unrealistic fear of the dentist. It wasn't a fear obtained through a horrible incident. For me, it was an imagined, "what if" fear. I didn't like having "NO CONTROL" over the dentist's actions. My mind said "What if his instrument slipped and it hit my nasal passage, or worse yet, my brain? What if I had a heart attack from my fear? Would he be able to save me? What if they didn't numb me enough? What if I felt pain?" I used to joke that I'd rather give birth on the floor in the middle of a huge, unknown crowd rather than go to the dentist. Next there were the noises and smells. I didn't want to hear the "whir" of an instrument. I couldn't stand the antiseptic smell. How would I truly know if the instruments were sterilized? My mind just went into a frenzied state. I just plain did NOT like going to the dentist.

 

So, over the years I had issues which ultimately led to a gap in my smile. I had a temporary "flipper" but wanted a "real" tooth in its place. I covered my mouth when I smiled, didn't like the feel of this foreign object in my mouth and wanted my smile back. I began researching dental implants and really loved the idea. I got up the nerve to, at least, go in for a complimentary exam. My heart was racing. The thought of even sitting in the chair gave me great anxiety. I chose Dr. Hamblin because he did offer sedation dentistry. I called Becky, his receptionist, who is wonderfully supportive and caring! His entire staff is very caring and supportive of each patient.

 

I expressed my fears and unrealistic concerns to Dr. Hamblin and he assured me that he would make me as comfortable as I needed to be to have the implant. He didn't underscore my fears. He and his staff guided me through each and every step of the implant. I chose the sedation more from fear and anxiety than anything else. On the day of the start of the procedure I was still panicky and scared. His assistant gave me another "pill" shortly before the procedure and the next thing I knew my sister-in-law was calling me to check in on me after she had brought me home. Becky called to check on me the same day. I had very minimal pain and had the necessary medication in case it was too awful.

Dr. Hamblin and his staff have helped me release most of my fears of the dentist and I am proud and happy to say I can go for a cleaning without any medication and a minimal amount of fear. "Thank you" seems like such simple words but they are deep from my heart to Dr. H and his staff! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" -Glenda Ryser, Implant Patient from Utah

 

Judy Boswell, Implant & Aesthetic Patient from Utah

"I’m so happy I found Dr. Hamblin and am thrilled with the results of my dental implants! I had a very difficult situation with my upper teeth and considerable bone loss, but with Dr. Hamblin’s expertise he was able to place the implants in such a way that I now have a beautiful upper bridge permanently attached to give me a perfect smile. Dr. Hamblin was wonderful throughout and his staff was professional, friendly and very caring. I highly recommend Hamblin Dental Implant & Aesthetic for the best possible implant experience! Thank you so much! " Judy Boswell, Implant & Aesthetic Patient from Utah
