Dr. Paul Lanzisera helps Colorado Springs dental patients improve the health and appearance of their smiles with porcelain crowns and bridgework

Colorado Springs, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/12/2016 -- Colorado Springs Dentist Dr. Paul Lanzisera is helping patients find functional and aesthetic solutions to missing, broken, or badly decayed teeth with porcelain crown and bridgework. These services offer patients not only improved function of their smile, but also look completely natural. Dr. Lanzisera is proud to offer services like porcelain restorations that help patients not only have a healthy smile, but also one that they are proud to show off.

Traditionally, restorative dentistry like fillings and crowns were done with metal-like materials. While this material is effective and long-lasting, it often detracts from the patient's smile since the metal material is a stark contrast from the surrounding white teeth. Patients who are self-conscious of their metal dental work—whether they have large amalgam fillings or gold crowns—can find a more aesthetically pleasing option at Smiles, Inc. in Colorado Springs. Dr. Lanzisera uses high-grade porcelain to create crowns and bridges that effectively replace missing teeth, offer support to misshapen teeth or badly broken teeth, and fix functional chewing problems while still improving the appearance of patient's smiles.

Crowns are a common restorative option for teeth that have undergone a root canal due to extensive decay. However, Dr. Lanzisera also offers crowns for patients who already have large amalgam fillings that they feel detract from their smile. In this situation, these types of fillings can sometimes cause patients pain over time as small cracks develop in the teeth as a result of the filling. A porcelain crown not only improves the appearance of the tooth, but also restores its structure and function so it no longer causes pain.

For patients who have a missing permanent tooth due to injury, decay, or other health problems, Dr. Lanzisera offers porcelain bridgework that can replace the appearance and partial function of that missing tooth. This restorative treatment involves preparing the two teeth on either side of the gap to receive a crown that is connected to an artificial porcelain tooth that is designed to fill in the gap of the missing tooth. This treatment literally bridges the gap of the missing tooth, and in the case of a porcelain bridge, does so in a way that looks natural and blends in with the surrounding teeth. Dr. Lanzisera is an expert in designing porcelain restorations that blend seamlessly with the patient's existing teeth, and can create crowns and bridges that are the exact size, shape, and shade that will look completely natural with the patient's smile.

Colorado Springs dentist Dr. Paul Lanzisera educates parents about the importance of making regular dental visits a habit for their young children

Colorado Springs, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/19/2016 -- Dr. Paul Lanzisera of Smiles Inc. in Colorado Springs is encouraging parents of young children to make regular dental visits a priority in order to give them the best potential for lifelong oral and overall health. Early childhood visits to the dentists not only help prevent the instance of oral decay, but also help familiarize children with the dental environment, which can reduce the instance of dental fear or anxiety later in life.

According to Dr. Lanzisera, parents should begin bringing their child in for regular dental visits around their third birthday once they have most of their primary teeth. He encourages parents to be involved with their child during the first visit by sitting in the chair with them and showing them around the office so they can begin to feel comfortable with the setting.

To help children feel more comfortable with the dentist prior to their visit, Dr. Lanzisera encourages parents to read books with them about going to the dentist, talk about what the dentist will be doing during their visit, and to speak positively about their own dental experiences. Dr. Lanzisera and his staff also encourage parents to bring their child on a "preview" visit of the office prior to their appointment so they already feel familiar with the environment.

A child's first visit to Smiles Inc. will mainly involve a gentle exam and possibly an x-ray to check on the progress of the development of permanent teeth. Children will also receive a fluoride treatment and most importantly, the child and their parent will receive education about the best ways to maintain their oral health at home.

While regular dental visits are important for optimal oral health, the most important aspect of oral hygiene takes place in the home on a daily basis. Oral decay is currently the number one preventable disease that affects children in the U.S., but parents play an important role in keeping their child's teeth healthy. During a child's initial visits, Dr. Lanzisera helps both the patient and their parents understand the importance and proper methods for good oral hygiene at home. He suggest that parents get involved with brushing and flossing their child's teeth rather than just assuming that they are doing it properly or regularly on their own.

Dr. Paul Lanzisera in Colorado Springs offers latest laser treatment for periodontal disease

Colorado Springs, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/22/2016 -- Dr. Paul Lanzisera, Colorado Springs Dentist at Smiles Inc. is now offering patients the latest, most advanced treatment for periodontal disease. With gum disease laser therapy, Dr. Lanzisera is able to treat patients with periodontal disease in a quick, effective, and virtually pain-free manner.

Periodontal disease is a serious oral health condition that, according to the CDC, affects half of American adults. This disease is completely preventable with regular flossing habits, however, in its most advanced stages, can lead to the loss of permanent teeth. With gum disease laser therapy, Dr. Lanzisera can treat the disease in a much more effective manner than with the traditional method of having to use hand instruments, scalpels, and sutures to remove diseased gum tissue.

Gum disease laser therapy is a much less invasive way to remove bacteria and infection from the gum pockets around the teeth which is caused by periodontal disease. There is zero drill noise or vibration while being treated with laser therapy making dental anxiety non-existent for the patient. As the laser treats the gums, the heat and light energy help to seal the gums as it removes diseased portions. With the laser also being able to seal the gums during treatment, it helps to reduce bleeding, minimize swelling, and sterilize the treated area reducing the risk of bacterial infections.

Laser therapy treatment for gum disease also eliminates or limits the need for anesthesia. Without the need for injections as well as eliminating many of the costs and complications associated with anesthesia the patient is able to get treatment worry free.

In addition to treating periodontal disease, Dr. Lanzisera also uses this advanced laser technology to perform other procedures like a frenotomy, osseous surgery, and gum grafting. Dr. Lanzisera uses this laser technology to regenerate healthy gums following the removal of diseased areas in order to reattach them to the teeth. With the use of laser therapy, studies have proven a much lower probability of gum disease returning when compared to traditional surgical methods of treating periodontal disease.
