Why Two Dentists May Just be Better Than One

May 16, 2018

You may never have thought of this in association with choosing a dentistry practice, but actually, patients who visit multi-dentist practices often receive better dental care than those who receive treatment from single dentist offices.

Dental Implants in Aurora, CO Can Help Rebuild Your Smile and Self-Confidence

October 26, 2013

dental_implantsLosing a tooth is often considered one of the most devastating dental injuries. After all, not only is your oral health compromised (an increased risk of periodontal disease and additional tooth loss are common consequences), but your self-image suffers a blow too, making it difficult to even leave your house, much less interact with people in professional and social settings for fear of embarrassment. While traditional replacement solutions, such as dentures and bridges, are often available, many patients find themselves unsatisfied by their bulky, unnatural nature. While Drs. D’Amico and Mauck can’t rewind the clock and bring your lost teeth back, they do offer the next best thing at their Aurora office: dental implants. With the help of dental implants, our team can give you back the beautiful, seamless smile you’ve been dreaming of.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small, titanium screws that fuse successfully with your jawbone tissue, effectively replicating the entire structure of your lost tooth. The process is simple – first, Dr. D’Amico and Dr. Mauck will refer you to a trusted oral surgeon; they will handle the placement of these screws. Then, once an appropriate amount of time has passed for you to heal, you’ll return to our Aurora office where we’ll place your brand-new, customized restorations atop them, completing the process.

How are dental implants better than other tooth replacement treatments?

Dental implants are so effective because they replace the root of your tooth, not just the crown. While dentures and bridges often look nice, the lack of tooth roots will cause your jawbone to deteriorate over time, resulting in a hunched appearance for your face. Dental implants are the only restorative dentistry solution that provides a solution to this problem! Additionally, dental implants are much more sturdy, lifelike, and long-lasting than their tooth replacement counterparts.

Don’t settle for an incomplete smile – instead, bolster your oral health with help from D’Amico and Mauck, DDS! Contact our office today to schedule an appointment. We welcome patients from all over the greater Denver area, including Aurora, Centennial, Englewood, Denver Tech Center, and beyond.

Revitalize Your Smile with the Help of Dental Implants in Aurora, CO

May 3, 2013

When it comes to tooth loss, dentists can offer patients a variety of restorative options, including dentures, partials, or bridges. While these tools may meet the needs of some patients, others find themselves wishing for a more natural, long-lasting solution that can make their smile look and feel as good as it did before their dental problems. While our team at D’Amico and Mauck, DDS can’t turn back the clock, we can give you the next best solution: dental implants. A relatively new procedure in the world of restorative dentistry, dental implants can offer newfound stability, comfort, and beauty to the smiles of our patients in Aurora, CO and beyond!

What exactly are dental implants?

While other tooth replacement options rest on top of the gums and only restore the crown of the tooth, dental implants take your oral health a step further by replicating the entire structure, including the root. First, a trusted oral surgeon will place a titanium post into the empty socket. Then, once an appropriate amount of time has passed for the post to integrate with your jawbone, you’ll come in to see Drs. D’Amico and Mauck at our Aurora office, where we’ll attach a beautiful, custom-made crown to the implant, completing your brand-new look.

Dental implants have several benefits over more traditional restorative treatments, such as:

  • Bone deterioration often occurs in the jaw when teeth are lost. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution that integrates with the jawbone, sustaining and even regenerating tissue.
  • They offer a way to rebuild your smile without having to sacrifice the health of your remaining teeth.
  • They’re much more sturdy and comfortable, not to mention seamless!

Don’t leave tooth loss untreated – call our dedicated team at D’Amico and Mauck, DDS today if you have any questions about dental implants, or if you’re ready to schedule an appointment. Dr. D’Amico and Dr. Mauck will be happy to sit down with you and discuss the unique benefits of all our restorative dentistry options in order to find the one that fits your unique goals best. We welcome patients from all over the greatest Denver area, including Centennial, Eaglewood, and Parker.

Give Your Smile New Life with Restorative Dentistry in Aurora, CO

January 15, 2013

We’re well into the New Year now, and that means you must have some resolutions you want to see accomplished. Maybe you want to finally complete that creative project, or you’d like to spend more time outside. While you’re at it, you might want to consider calling D’Amico & Mauck, DDS about any restorative dentistry procedures you should undergo. Needing help with your teeth is nothing to feel embarrassed about – whether wear and tear happens because of age, an accident, or even an occasional sweet treat, you deserve to have a beautiful smile you can share with the world. That’s why here in our Aurora, CO office, Dr. D’Amico and Dr. Mauck are committed to not only increasing the strength and function of your teeth, but also helping you to prevent further damage. Here are just a few of the restorative dentistry services we can offer you:

Dental Implants

One of the newest methods in restorative dentistry for replacing lost teeth, dental implants are a permanent way to have a strong, long-lasting smile. Titanium screws are first placed in your jaw by an oral surgeon. Then, Dr. Amico or Dr. Mauck will create custom-made, tooth-like crowns for you that will sit on top of the screws, which will hold them firmly in place. Dental implants have an advantage that few procedures do: they provide you with new tooth roots, meaning your jaw stays healthy and functional through the years.

Porcelain Crowns

With our E4D technology, we can now craft porcelain crowns in just one visit, saving you valuable time. E4D takes digital impressions of your teeth then sends this information to a computerized milling unit that works on your new crown while you wait. After only around an hour, you’ll be ready to head out in the world with new confidence and a new, complete look.

In addition, other restorative dentistry procedures we can offer you here in our Aurora office are:

  • Fillings
  • Dentures and Partials
  • Root Canal Treatment
  • Complete Mouth Reconstruction, for those with multiple needs

If you’re in need of restorative dentistry, don’t let the time get away from you.  Let Dr. D’Amico, Dr. Mauck, and their team help you keep smiling!  Call our office in Aurora today with any questions you might have about our restorative dentistry procedures, or if you’re ready to schedule a consultation. Our office serves patients from the greater Denver area as well, including Centennial, Englewood, and Parker.
