However, they do come with financial and time commitments. Here are the major pros and cons for dental crowns. A Guide to Restoring and Beautifying Your Smile Dental crowns are a common and effective solution for a variety of dental issues, but understanding the pros and cons of the procedure is crucial. Knowing when a crown is the right choice and what to expect can help you make an informed decision for your oral health and smile. High Point Dental Partners: Your Trusted Smile Experts At High Point Dental Partners, we understand the importance of having all the information before undergoing any dental procedure. We're committed to providing our patients with the highest quality care and personalized guidance, ensuring they feel confident and comfortable with their treatment options. What is a Dental Crown? A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a weakened or damaged tooth to restore its function and appearance. It serves as a protective barrier, shielding the tooth from further decay and allowing you to chew and speak normally. Crown materials range from porcelain and ceramic to metal alloys, offering both durability and natural aesthetics. Pros of Dental Crowns: Durability: Crowns are built to last, protecting your tooth for many years to come. Enhanced Appearance: Discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth can be transformed with crowns, giving you a more confident smile. Strengthened Teeth: Crowns reinforce fragile or cracked teeth, preventing further damage and potential loss. Versatility: Crowns serve various purposes, from supporting dental bridges and implants to covering teeth after root canal therapy. Cons of Dental Crowns: Cost: Crown procedures can be expensive, with... --- - Published: 2023-08-21 - Modified: 2025-03-07 - URL: https://highpointdentalnc.com/3-stages-to-a-pain-free-smile/ Root canal treatments are done in 3 stages. Learn more about our process at High Point Dental Partners or call to schedule your appointment today! Does a Toothache Have You Down? Discover the Journey to Relief with Root Canal Treatment A stubborn toothache, sensitive teeth, or swollen gums could point to a hidden enemy: an infected tooth. At High Point Dental Partners, our experienced dentists might recommend root canal treatment to eliminate the infection and preserve your smile. Why Choose Root Canal Treatment? Root canal treatment isn't just about pain relief. It's about saving your tooth. This minimally invasive procedure removes the infected pulp within your tooth, eliminating the source of discomfort and preventing further problems. It's a far cry from tooth extraction, a more complex and costly option. The Healing Journey: 3 Stages to Root Canal Success While finishing all three stages is crucial for complete recovery, each step focuses on a specific aspect of healing your tooth: Stage 1: Unveiling the Problem and Initiating Cleanup Examination and Diagnosis: First, our dentists in High Point will carefully examine your tooth to confirm the need for root canal treatment. Cleaning the Battlefield: Once diagnosed, your tooth will be thoroughly cleaned to remove lingering bacteria, paving the way for effective treatment. Access and Initial Disinfection: After numbing the area, our dentist will create a small access point to the infected pulp chamber. Antibacterial solutions and medication will be used to combat the infection. Temporary Protection: To ensure comfort until your next appointment, a temporary filling will be placed. Stage 2: Deep Dive and Targeted Therapy (Optional) This stage may occur on the same day as the... --- - Published: 2023-04-21 - Modified: 2025-05-09 - URL: https://highpointdentalnc.com/how-long-do-dental-veneers-last/ Dental veneers are a common cosmetic dental procedure. Learn more about how long dental veneers last and how to properly care for them. Smiling Confidently with Long-Lasting Veneers Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for patients in High Point, NC, seeking to enhance their smiles. But if you're considering investing in veneers, one of the key questions you might have is: how long do they last? The answer, like most things in dentistry, depends on several factors. But in this blog post, we'll explore the average lifespan of veneers, the importance of proper care, and how High Point Dental Partners can help you achieve a dazzling, long-lasting smile. Composite vs. Porcelain: Understanding the Lifespan of Veneers Veneers come in two main materials: porcelain and composite. Each has its advantages and, of course, lifespan: Porcelain Veneers: More durable than composite, porcelain veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 12 years with proper care. They boast a natural, stain-resistant appearance and are generally the material of choice for long-term results. Composite Veneers: While less expensive than porcelain, composite veneers typically last only 4 to 8 years. They're a good option for minor corrections or as a temporary solution before porcelain veneers. The Importance of Care: Extending the Life of Your Veneers Just like natural teeth, dental veneers require proper care to maintain their lifespan and appearance. Here are some key practices for High Point patients: Daily Brushing & Flossing: Maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine of brushing twice a day and flossing once a day is crucial. This removes plaque and bacteria that can damage veneers and compromise their bond. Limit Sweets &... --- - Published: 2023-01-16 - Modified: 2023-01-16 - URL: https://highpointdentalnc.com/what-is-dental-technology/ Dental technologies are helpful to streamline the dental process. At High Point Dental Partners, we offer many different technologies. Learn more about our dental technologies. High-End Dentistry in High Point, NC When you visit the dentist, you may notice them using certain technologies. These dental technologies can include anything from x-ray machines to CEREC machines. All of the dental technologies we use in-office help streamline the process of visiting the dentist. Types of Dental Technologies Digital X-Rays If you’ve ever visited a dentist before, you most likely have gotten x-rays taken. Digital x-rays are standard practice at most dental offices. These digital x-rays save time and are safe for any patient. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) CBCT scanning allows our team to create images of your teeth, face and neck with just one scan. These images are high-quality and help us gather detailed information to best diagnose every patient. The CBCT machine rotates once around your head while you stand or sit. It is a quick, simple and painless process! CEREC CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic. CEREC creates a state-of-the-art way of reconstructing tooth restorations. For patients who are in need of crowns, CEREC makes it possible to walk out of the office with a new tooth in just one visit!

Learn more about them in our blog. Replacing Missing Teeth: A Safe and Effective Solution Missing teeth can affect your confidence, chewing ability, and even your overall oral health. Fortunately, dental implants offer a permanent and natural-looking solution. High Point Dental Partners is proud to provide top-notch implant services, helping residents regain their smiles and function. Why Choose Dental Implants? Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants boast several unique benefits: Preserve Bone Density: Unlike bridges or dentures, which can lead to bone loss, implants stimulate and preserve bone growth, keeping your smile healthy for years to come. Superior Stability and Comfort: Implants feel and function more like natural teeth, offering enhanced comfort and confidence to speak, laugh, and chew without worry. Secure Dentures: Wobbly dentures are a thing of the past with implant-supported dentures. Enjoy a stable, comfortable fit that won't slip or slide. Protects Remaining Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants don't require altering neighboring teeth, preserving their health and longevity. Types of Dental Implants: 1. Endosteal Implants: The most common type, these feature a titanium screw surgically placed in the jawbone, topped with a crown or bridge for a natural look and strong, lasting support. 2. All-on-4 Implants: This revolutionary system uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full denture, offering faster recovery and a secure, comfortable fit. The Dental Implant Procedure at High Point Dental Partners: Consultation: Our dentist will assess your needs and determine if implants are right for you. Preparation: Any necessary tooth extractions or bone grafting will be performed,... --- - Published: 2022-08-08 - Modified: 2025-02-13 - URL: https://highpointdentalnc.com/what-are-impacted-wisdom-teeth/ Impacted wisdom teeth can cause serious problems if they are not dealt with as soon as possible. Impacted Wisdom Teeth at High Point Dental Partners Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars at the back of the mouth that don’t have enough room to emerge or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth need to be removed as soon as possible so they do not cause problems in the future. Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to erupt in the mouth. Most people have four wisdom teeth in the back of their mouth - two on the top and two on the bottom. Impacted wisdom teeth can result in pain, damage to the rest of your teeth or other dental problems. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no immediate problems. However, since they are hard to clean, they are more vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease than the rest of your teeth. Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth Impacted wisdom teeth don’t always cause problems or symptoms. If the tooth is infected, damages other teeth or causes other problems, you could experience these symptoms: Red or swollen gums Tender or bleeding gums Jaw pain Swelling around the jaw Bad breath An unpleasant taste in your mouth Difficulty opening your mouth When You Should See A Doctor If you are experiencing any symptoms behind your last molar, you should see a dentist as soon as possible as it can be associated with an impacted wisdom tooth.

Learn more about how this treatment works. Relieve TMD Pain at High Point Dental Partners Many people experience discomfort related to their temporomandibular joint (TMJ). TMJ disorders can be disruptive to your everyday life. At High Point Dental Partners in High Point, NC, we offer Botox® as a treatment option for TMJ and TMD disorders. For people who have already tried other treatment methods, Botox® can be a great solution for pain relief. Botox® can help relieve several symptoms of TMJ disorders, including: Jaw tension Pain in the neck and mouth Headaches and migraines Clenching and grinding your teeth How does Botox® treatment work? Botox® treatment involves an injection of botulinum toxin into the clenching jaw muscles to help prevent muscle contraction by attaching to the nerve endings of muscles. It only takes a few minutes to feel the effects for months. You can still function fully, just without the pain. Once we gather important health information, we will determine if Botox® will be an effective treatment option for you. If it is, we will then go over the process itself and schedule an appointment for the procedure. After the procedure, the patient will begin to see improvement in 7 to 14 days. Is the treatment painful? Contrary to popular belief, a Botox® procedure is not painful and you will be able to remain calm during the procedure. While the idea of needles near one’s face is not the best mental image, we can ensure that it is not as bad as some might believe. We will... --- - Published: 2021-05-21 - Modified: 2025-09-08 - URL: https://highpointdentalnc.com/periodontal-disease-stages/ Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, has various stages of progression. Learn about each stage of this disease. Gum Disease at High Point Dental Partners Periodontal disease is the progressive loss of the attachment of the gum tissue to the teeth. It occurs when harmful bacteria in the mouth continuously produce toxins that irritate and inflame the gums and bones that hold teeth in place. There are several different stages of periodontal disease including gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Keep reading to learn more about each stage. Gingivitis Gingivitis is the only stage of periodontal disease that is reversible because it hasn’t yet attacked the bones yet. Typically, gingivitis is caused by a buildup of plaque around the teeth. One of the first signs of gingivitis is bleeding gums, however, many symptoms are painless, which is what makes this stage of periodontal disease so common. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits and cleanings can help treat and reverse gingivitis successfully. Periodontitis If gingivitis is left untreated, the disease will progress and the gums and teeth will start to separate even further from each other. This will lead to the development of deep gingival pockets, which can promote bacterial growth even further. These pockets are prone to calculus, which can cause damage to the connective tissues responsible for holding the teeth in place. At this stage, aggressive dental treatment is the only way to stop the disease from progressing even further. In these cases, the preferred form of treatment is what’s referred to as root planning and if necessary, antibiotics. Advanced Periodontitis If you’ve reached the stage of... --- - Published: 2021-05-12 - Modified: 2022-06-13 - URL: https://highpointdentalnc.com/covid-19-update/ One year after COVID-19 began, are people ready to get back to the dentist? Read our COVID-19 update and implemented safety protocols. It's been over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic changed almost every aspect of our daily lives—including regularly visiting the dentist. However, this should soon be a thing of the past. Not visiting the dentist was one of the many ripple-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and even though it is not over, yet, things are looking up. According to the ADA Health Policy Institute, confidence in going back to the dentist hit a new high since the pandemic started, with 94% of patients stating they are ready to go back to the dentist or they have already gone back to see the dentist, compared to August of 2020 where only 78% of patients had been back or were ready to go back to the dentist. If you're ready for your next dental checkup, contact us today to setup an appointment! Continued Safety Protocols As more and more people become fully vaccinated, the CDC has started to provide less-restrictive guidelines for these people. However, most recommended precautions, such as using personal protective equipment, have not changed for health care settings, including dental offices. Even though we are seeing COVID-19 case numbers trending down, we still ask that you follow our guidelines for your safety and the safety of others, including: Do not come to the office if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 Limit the number of people you bring to your appointment, if possible Wear a mask until notified that you can remove it Per the CDC, we are regularly... --- - Published: 2021-03-25 - Modified: 2025-04-14 - URL: https://highpointdentalnc.com/how-to-manage-being-scared-and-stressed-at-the-dentist/ Does seeing the dentist give you anxiety? Follow our four tips for easing your fears about the dentist for a stress-free visit. If you get anxious about going to the dentist, you’re not alone. Not by a long shot. Some studies show nearly three-fourths of American adults experience anxiety or outright fear when they even think about visiting the dentist. About 1 in 10 Americans experience enough fear to classify it as a phobia. It’s okay. We know going to the dentist can seem scary! But avoiding dental care as a result of dental anxiety can result in serious consequences for you and your teeth. Even if you’re nervous about going to the dentist, it’s extremely important to do what’s necessary to keep your mouth clean and healthy. We want all of our patients to be as comfortable as possible when they visit our office, so we do everything we can to give our guests a comfortable, calming environment. But there are a few things you can do on your own to help make your visit a little easier. 1. Talk with your dentist If you’re stressed about your upcoming visit to our office, one of the best things you can do is talk with us about it. Having a clear understanding of what your visit will be like – even visualizing what will occur during your appointment – can do wonders. It’s possible we can make special accommodations to make things more comfortable for you. You’re not the first person who’s been worried about a visit to your dentist’s office, and you won’t be the last! We’re here to help. 2.... --- --- ## Services --- ## Doctors ---
