Our prosthodontists are proud to be able to rely on the cutting-edge tools, equipment, techniques and materials to deliver our diagnosis and treatments as gently and thoroughly as possible.

Leading Edge Technology

We use a variety of technically advanced tools including the following:

-Cone Beam: Our cone beam 3D imaging technology, also known as CBCT, is an imaging system that allows our prosthodontists, Dr. Goggins, Dr. Aguirre, Dr. Pitz to get a three-dimensional image reconstruction of the components of your mouth — teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat. Thanks to this 3D imaging, our team can diagnose and evaluate any developing dental conditions, and then plan an effective treatment for best outcomes. This is because the cone beam imaging gives us a more comprehensive visual than your typical digital X-rays do.

-Intraoral Camera: this tool allows us to get an up-close and personal view of the various components of your smile. It is tiny and easy to maneuver so we can see what is happening inside your mouth at any angle, which we could not see easily otherwise. With this tool, we can determine the extent of any dental conditions, including cavities and tooth decay, tooth chips or cracks and any advancing gum disease. We can also see the effects of a treatment after it has been done, help you understand any dental treatments recommended for you, and even enlist the help of dentists and specialists you might need and work with your dental insurance company when necessary.

-CAD/CAM technology: Better known as Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing, this technology is useful when getting a restorative treatment like dental veneers or crowns, bridges and even full hybrid arches. Our prosthodontists and lab technicians can get your restoration designed with precision accuracy and manufactured so that it looks and fits as naturally as possible. 

When it comes to your oral health, our advanced dental technology can give you the outcome you desire in the most convenient and comfortable way possible. We strive to make your time with us positive and with satisfying results you can be proud to show off. We are truly here for your smile from beginning to end, evaluation, diagnosing, designing and implementing your restoration. Give us a call today to learn more!

The post A Dental Bridge Can Replace a Tooth With an Untreated Cavity first appeared on Denver Restorative Dentistry.]]> A cavity that affects one of your teeth can often start out small. As time goes on, the tooth decay will continue to spread. If you forego professional treatment with Dr. Taylor Goggins, the tooth can become so badly compromised that it severely fractures near the gumline.

Dr. Goggins might be able to treat a tooth in this condition by performing a root canal. This will save the tooth so that it can serve as an anchor for a dental crown.

In a case where the damage to the tooth is severe, or a large abscess develops in the gums Dr. Goggins might suggest an extraction. After any infected material has been removed, Dr. Goggins will suture your gums and provide you with a prescription for pain medication and antibiotics.

After your gums have healed, Dr. Goggins can help you understand your dental restoration options. One of the more effective and popular options is a dental bridge.

This is a single artificial tooth that will be fused to open crowns on each end. This typically requires two separate appointments. The first prepares the two neighboring teeth as abutments, or anchors for the dental bridge. After the bridge has been created in a dental lab, Dr. Goggins will cement the dental work in place with a strong dental adhesive.

If you are in the Broomfield, Colorado, area and have lost a tooth to an untreated cavity, you should call 303-586-1019 to seek professional treatment at Denver Restorative Dentistry.

The post Toothache Pain Is Often a Symptom of a Distressed Tooth or a Severe Cavity first appeared on Denver Restorative Dentistry.]]> Pain within a tooth, severe sensitivity, pressure, or discomfort in your gums can be a serious cause for concern. These classic symptoms of a toothache often indicate that the internal structures of the tooth have been compromised by dental trauma, an untreated cavity, or severe tooth decay.

The longer you delay in seeking professional treatment at Dr. Taylor Goggins’s dental office the more likely you are to experience increasing pain and more severe complications.  

If your toothache pain is related to untreated tooth decay it likely means that the bacterial presence has penetrated the pulp, nerve, or root of the tooth. If you have recently suffered a dental trauma, it’s possible that the accident may have injured the internal structures of the tooth or an area of gum tissue. Even if the traumatic event occurred a few days ago, the toothache could be the result of inflammation.  

Once Dr. Taylor Goggins has assessed and diagnosed the underlying cause of your toothache they will present you with some possible treatment options. In many cases, this calls for performing a root canal to extract any compromised structures. Once this is done they will restore sufficient structure to secure a dental crown in place.  

If you are in the Broomfield, Colorado area and you are suffering from toothache pain, please call 303-586-1019 to seek care at Denver Restorative Dentistry. We look forward to helping you maintain your healthy smile!

The post What You Should Know About Bleeding Gums first appeared on Denver Restorative Dentistry.]]> When you’re taking care of your mouth, do you ever notice that your gums start to bleed? Despite what you may have heard, bleeding gums aren’t normal. While your gums might bleed for a number of reasons, there may be several things you can do to avoid the issue.

Your gums may be bleeding if you have an issue such as gum disease. There are a number of things you can consider doing to benefit the health of your teeth and prevent gum disease. For example, did you know that simply brushing or flossing could actually prevent the issue? However, other instances could require a deeper cleaning to address.

If you haven’t flossed for some time, your gums might also bleed. This is not typically a serious issue, but if the bleeding doesn’t stop after a week, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our team. Similarly, if you brush too hard or with a brush that has firm bristles, your gums might bleed. We recommend speaking to our dentist to learn more about the best brush for you.

Certain medications can also cause your gums to bleed, so please remember to tell our team about any medications you may be taking when you visit us. If you’re interested in learning more, please don’t hesitate to give Denver Restorative Dentistry a call at 303-586-1019. Dr. Taylor Goggins and our team look forward to hearing from you soon.

The post Impacted Teeth? We Can Help! first appeared on Denver Restorative Dentistry.]]> Have you ever heard of impacted teeth? Do you ever wonder exactly what an impacted tooth could do the health of your smile? Do you know what you can do to address this issue? Fortunately, there are a number of things you could consider doing.

If you have an impacted tooth, you could have to cope with a number of serious problems. For instance, an impacted tooth may push against your other teeth, shifting their position. If your impacted tooth is a wisdom tooth, it could undo dental work you’ve had or could make new dental work a necessity. However, an impacted tooth—which is most commonly a wisdom tooth—can be completely painless, and you may not realize you have an issue.

If you have an impacted tooth, your gums could also swell or become infected. This may be painful and could cause infections in your other teeth. An impacted tooth could also lead to infections in your jaw and ear as well. You may be able to recognize an impacted tooth if you have a constant bad taste in your mouth, bad breath, or pain when you bite or chew.

Typically, our team can address this issue simply by removing the tooth. If you’re interested in learning more about impacted teeth, please don’t hesitate to contact Denver Restorative Dentistry at 303-586-1019. Dr. Goggins, Dr. Esguerra and the rest of our team are always happy to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
