Athletic Mouthguards Dentist Carmi IL

Avoid Dental Trauma During Athletics
Each year in the United States alone, nearly 5 million teeth are lost due to traumatic injuries during sports. With a custom-made mouthguard, these losses can be minimized. The mouthguards found in stores are not sufficient protection and interfere with proper breathing during exertion. However, a mouthguard that exactly fits your teeth protects the best and lets you breathe normally. We offer this device to reduce the effect of any trauma on your mouth.

The American Dental Association has made the recommendation of custom mouthguards for these sports:

Acrobatics, basketball, boxing, field hockey, football, gymnastics, handball, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, racquetball, roller hockey, rugby, shotputting, skateboarding, skiing, skydiving, soccer, squash, surfing, volleyball, water polo, weight lifting, wrestling.

Sedation Dentistry

The Complete Range of Sedation Dentistry Options
 We realize that for some people, a dental appointment is a frightening experience. The needles and drills add to the anxiety about anticipated treatment. It is our goal to make you comfortable throughout your dental work, and with conscious sedation you will forget all your fears.

It is very easy to reach this level of sedation. You merely take a pill we have given you one hour before your scheduled appointment. As you begin to relax in the dental chair, you gradually reach a deeper level of sedation. You are still conscious enough to answer any question the dentist asks, but you will not remember any of the procedure. When your work is completed, a friend will drive you home. In about an hour, you are back to normal.

Some people have an even greater fear of being "knocked out." Their fear is about losing control of what's going on. But you are not completely out as for surgery. You are still aware of your environment; you just won't feel any of the work being performed. Conscious sedation relieves patients of any fear, while maintaining perception of what's going on around them.

Other patients may need this type of sedation because their system is highly resistant to anesthesia. This is the only way they will get numb for treatment. And for those who need more work done in one visit, this is also the perfect option. We also have nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for those who only require lighter sedation.

Dental Implant Dentist

Beautiful Replacements for Any Number of Missing Teeth
Whether you have missing teeth in the front or back of your mouth, dental implants will provide the best results in functionality and appearance. Unlike bridges or dentures that are positioned on top of your gums, dental implants come up through the gums. It makes it look as if you grew new teeth. If you have only one or many missing teeth, implants are the ideal solution. They can replace dentures to eliminate the problems of slippage or other movement, and they never have to be removed. We take care of the entire process from implant to crown, so you won't have to go to another office.
