At the Aurora dental office of D’Amico & Mauck, DDS, our two skilled dentists work as a team to support one another and ensure we always provide patients with the highest quality dental care.

November 13, 2015

Woman chatting on phone and brushing teeth in a towel needs to visit the dentist aurora trustsAlmost every oral health issue starts with plaque or tartar buildup. More than 50% of US adults experience some level of gum disease which is the number one cause of tooth loss, and periodontal disease occurs due to soft tissue irritation caused by plaque and tartar build up. Tooth decay causes cavities, root canal infection, and tooth loss, and begins when acidic plaque and tartar breakdown tooth enamel. Regular preventive dental care from D’Amico & Mauck, DDS in Aurora and thorough at-home oral hygiene are the first lines of defense against these destructive bacteria.

Periodontal Disease and Your Overall Health: What’s the Connection?

February 9, 2015

487692979As your trusted Aurora, COfamily dentists, Dr. Nicholas D’Amico and Dr. Matt Mauck want to be sure that you have all of the tools and information you need to keep your smile looking and feeling its best for life. That’s why we’d like to take the time today to talk about a little-known relationship between the health of your gums and the rest of your body; it’s called the oral systemic link, or the mouth-body connection.

Exploring the Systemic Link

When the bacteria that cause periodontal disease enter the bloodstream, they can spread to other areas of the body and cause potentially life-threatening illnesses and conditions. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Coronary artery disease
  • Stroke
  • Cancer of the pancreas, kidney, and blood
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Respiratory infections, including pneumonia
  • Preterm birth and low birth-weight in babies whose mothers have gum disease
  • Dementia

Another interesting correlation was discovered recently in a Scandinavian study that examined the link between athletes and oral health. It turns out that athletes, particularly runners, tend to suffer from more instances of tooth decay and periodontal disease than non-athletes. This is due to a variety of factors, one of which is decreased levels of saliva. Saliva protects your teeth and gums from damaging bacteria, a primary factor in gum disease and cavities.

While your teeth and gums may not be the first thoughts you have when you gear up to hit the gym, it is important to remember that your workout does directly impact your oral health. Fortunately, our team can help you manage the health of your teeth and gums without imposing upon your exercise routine. We’re here to serve as your partners in total wellness, and we’ll always do everything we can to ensure your oral health as well as your overall well-being.

December 9, 2014

157247370As we prepare to welcome the New Year and all of the promise it brings, we invite you to take a moment to consider your smile. Are you happy with the appearance of your teeth and gums? Perhaps there are just a few minor aspects you’d like to change, or maybe you are more interested in a total smile transformation. At D’Amico & Mauck, DDS in Aurora, CO, Dr. Nicholas D’Amico and Dr. Matt Mauck offer an extensive range of cosmetic dentistry services designed with your most beautiful smile in mind, including porcelain veneers.

Are Porcelain Veneers the Right Choice for You?

Porcelain veneers are among the most popular cosmetic dentistry options available today, capable of correcting a wide range of aesthetic flaws in as few as two visits to our Aurora, CO office. These customized shells of dental porcelain fit perfectly over the surfaces of your existing teeth, creating a beautifully radiant and uniform smile that still looks and feels completely natural. There are many reasons that are patients choose porcelain veneers, including the following:

  • The desire to mask imperfections in one or more teeth, including chips and cracks
  • Feelings of insecurity regarding deep stains in enamel or gaps between teeth
  • The need for straighter teeth without the use of braces
  • Embarrassment about the size, shape, or orientation of teeth in relation to the amount of gum tissue present

Porcelain veneers are meticulously crafted to match the shape, size, and color of natural teeth. The material used even reflects light in the same way that tooth enamel does, so you never have to worry that your teeth look unnatural. What better way to welcome the New Year than with a gorgeous new smile? Porcelain veneers from Drs. D’Amico and Mauck can turn your vision of a flawless smile into a reality, just in time for the start of 2015.
