Ask yourself: Is your smile the very best it can be? If you’re suffering from discolored, chipped, misshapen or slightly misaligned teeth, dental veneers may be the answer for you.

One of the most esthetic and conservative means of creating a more pleasing and beautiful smile is the placement of dental veneers. At the office of Hyline Dental, our highly-skilled staff will determine if you are candidate for veneers and will work with you to create a great looking smile.

At Hyline Dental we pride ourselves on offering the most precise and gentle care, keeping you relaxed throughout every visit. We utilize advanced technology and methods to provide stress-free solutions for all your dental needs, including root canal, a procedure used to strengthen and preserve the teeth.  

Underneath the outermost biting surface of each tooth is a layer of core tissues, blood vessels and nerves, which comprise the dental pulp. When a tooth has been compromised by decay or injury, bacteria can enter and infect the dental pulp, leading to the uncomfortable symptoms of a toothache. If you experience sensitivity to hot and cold, pain when biting down, or any type of oral discomfort, it is important to contact our office immediately. We will promptly and accurately examine your teeth, gums and their supporting bone structure to determine an effective course of action, if root canal procedure or some other type of dental care is needed.

With today’s advances in cosmetic dentistry, it’s possible to turn even badly stained or yellowing teeth into dazzling white smiles. At the office of Hyline Dental, our teeth whitening procedure offers a fast and effective way to erase stains and tooth discoloration, brightening your smile by up to several shades.

Teeth can become stained due to persistent exposure to highly pigmented foods and beverages, as well as tobacco use. Not surprisingly, dark-colored foods and beverages, including red wine, soda, dark sauces, and various fruits -- such as grapes, blueberries and pomegranates -- also have the potential to stain teeth. These items are high pigment-producing substances that stick to tooth enamel, making them appear discolored as a result. Aging can also cause your smile to lose its sparkle as enamel begins to thin, exposing more of the yellowish, underlying dentin.

It happens to most of us at one time or another: a tooth cavity. These days, cavities are more prevalent than ever, affecting 82 percent of U.S. adults by the time they’re 34. In fact, tooth decay -- the condition that causes cavities -- is the single most chronic childhood disease in the nation. Realities like these underscore the importance of patient education and regular checkups for preventing tooth decay. At Hyline Dental, we are experienced and trained in all aspects of oral health, providing treatment as well as information on the best ways for you to maintain healthy teeth and gums at any age. 

Emergency dental care is a service we hope you’ll never need- but if you do, the office of Hyline Dental is here for you! As providers of experienced, and compassionate care we’re well equipped to get you back on the road to oral health.

Dental emergencies can come about in any number of ways. Your discomfort may be due to an injury to the oral facial area, the acute flare-up of a longstanding problem, or the result of the sudden onset of seemingly inexplicable pain. While there are many reasons for seeking urgent dental care, some of the most common ones include severe toothaches, chipped or fractured teeth, problematic wisdom teeth, a dental abscess, a broken filling, a loosened crown, or a broken denture. Whatever the case may be, it’s essential to contact our office promptly for care. If left untreated many dental emergencies can quickly worsen, resulting in more severe consequences to your oral health and overall well-being.

Did you know that your smile can tell a lot about you? Not only is it an indication of your mood at the moment, it can give dentists a clue to your overall health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to such complications as oral and facial pain, gum disease and a variety of mouth infections that can affect major organs of the body.

That’s why practicing good oral hygiene and seeing a dentist regularly is so important for people of all ages. The state-of-the-art practice of Hyline Dental and our skilled professionals are dedicated to keeping your teeth and gums in tip-top shape.

Habits that promote good oral health:

At the office of Hyline Dental one of the many ways we establish trusting partnerships with our patients is to provide a wealth of information on maintaining optimal dental health and beautiful smiles. Whatever your age may be, there’s no secret formula for maintaining a healthy smile. It’s simply a matter of establishing an effective oral hygiene routine, getting routine checkups and care, eating a nutritious diet and avoiding harmful oral habits. Of course, the most important thing to remember is that to successfully keep your smile healthy, a consistent regimen of oral care is essential.

Enjoying the benefits of a vibrant smile in tip-top condition is not something to be taken for granted. To maintain optimal oral health requires a bit of effort.

A famous comedian by the name of George Carlin once said, “Everyone Smiles in the Same Language.” Recognized as the most universal of human expressions, a smile lights up your face while radiating a measure of personal warmth that inspires the confidence and trust of others.

Although toothaches are the most common source of dental pain, the term itself is an umbrella term for a diverse array of dental and medical issues. While the most common cause of a toothache is a deep cavity, dental pain can originate from a TMJ disorder, gum disease, sinus infections, ear infections, even angina (heart pain). If you’re experiencing any sort of oral pain, it’s important to schedule an appointment with our dentist as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause. We will conduct a comprehensive examination and develop a personalized treatment plan that restores your oral health to excellent condition.
