People are turning to cosmetic dentistry more and more because they see the value in an aesthetic smile. We certainly support that goal and are happy to help in any way we can. Cosmetic dental treatments have benefits beyond simply enhancing beauty. In fact, cosmetic dentistry often plays an important role in improving oral health.
It’s common for people to joke about how much they dislike going to the dentist. We don’t take it personally, though, because we know that for many patients, it’s no laughing matter. For these patients, fear, anxiety, and past bad experiences are keeping them from getting needed care. That is why our entire staff makes a concerted effort to create the most welcoming, calming, and positive atmosphere possible for every patient. For those who may need a little extra assistance, we offer sedation. Sedation dentistry helps patients who would otherwise avoid the dentist get essential oral healthcare.
Was one of your New Year’s resolutions to take better care of yourself? Are you currently on a journey to become healthier? Most of the time, when we think about health and wellness, we focus on diet, exercise, and reducing stress. However, we tend to overlook something crucial to overall well-being: oral health. Keep reading to learn more about this important relationship.
Taking care of your oral health is important, not just for your smile, but for your physical and mental well-being too. When a problem arises, like a cavity or a toothache, more often than not, you will need a restorative treatment to repair the damage, relieve the pain, and recover the full function of your smile. Restorative dental treatments are some of the most common procedures Dr. Peterson performs, but they are also some of the most important, because they are truly healing and transformative.

At James Peterson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we continually stress the importance of maintaining a proper oral hygiene routine. We see most patients only a few times during the year, and that means they need to be diligent about properly cleaning and caring for their teeth on their own. Many patients assume that preventing tooth decay is the reason we are so passionate about cleaning teeth properly. Aside from decay, there are other harmful conditions you can develop that can seriously affect your oral health now and in the future. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is one of these issues.
At James Peterson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, your comfort and well-being matter to us. Dr. Peterson and his team have a unique opportunity to create a family environment while providing the very best in dental care and services to our patients. We want to help bring out the best in your smile. We encourage you to learn more about our practice and hear thoughts from our team and our beloved patients.
Would you love to straighten your teeth but not consider receiving treatment because you are not interested in wearing traditional metal braces? Thankfully, the days of only having one orthodontic treatment option are long gone. We are happy to offer our adult and teen patients who are looking to straighten their teeth the option of Invisalign.
Dealing with tooth loss or severe decay can provoke many emotions in patients. It can also be overwhelming and challenging to choose a tooth replacement option. At James Peterson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we assist our patients in choosing an option that is most beneficial to their lifestyle and budget. One option that we frequently recommend is dental implants.
