Standard dentures can seem OK when you first get them. Teeth, even replacement teeth, are better than no teeth at all. Unfortunately, most dentures don’t restore the full function of your healthy teeth.
Tooth loss contributes to a lower quality of life. This probably won’t surprise you. When you don’t have teeth, your diet can change drastically. Even if you love mashed potatoes and soup, you would grow tired of them after a while. Your missing teeth also change the way you speak, and this can affect your self-confidence as well.
To further complicate matters, your jawbone starts to deteriorate when you lose teeth. Most dentures don’t stop this from happening. This explains why dentures become looser with time, which means you need more adhesive to try to keep them in place. Eventually, you have to have them relined or replaced.
Even with most dentures, you can’t bite and chew with as much power as they could before. In fact, many studies have shown that dentures wearer only generate about 20 percent of the bite force of someone with all their teeth.
We are excited to offer our patients a better teeth replacement option. AvaDent Digital Dentures are stronger and more secure than conventional dentures. With our restorations, you can:
AvaDental denture wearers report high satisfaction with these new teeth. We have seen firsthand how our patients’ lives are better with these restorations.

Restore your smile, your bite, and your self-confidence with AvaDent Digital Dentures.

In addition to making your teeth more beautiful, straightening them makes it easier to keep them healthy. When bits of food and bacteria accumulate in the nooks and crannies created by crooked teeth, it’s tough to remove them with a brush and floss. While oral hygiene becomes easier after orthodontic treatment, it can be difficult while you are wearing braces. Fortunately, we have some tips for cleaning braces that will help!
Check out Dr. Bell’s tips here. Then call us at 918-379-4189 if you need to schedule your next professional cleaning or exam in Oologah. We may also suggest preventive treatments, such as applications of fluoride, to help keep your teeth cavity-free.
Whether or not you wear braces, daily brushing with a fluoride toothpaste is important. It’s essential, though, for braces wearers. Choose a soft-bristled brush with a small head that fits easily into your mouth. Since braces will be hard on the bristles, you should plan to replace your brush more often than usual, at least every three months.
When you brush you will:
You may want to consider using one of these special brushes for cleaning braces and teeth:
You’ll want to use waxed floss, since unwashed floss has a tendency to get caught on braces. As with brushing, you can find special tools that can help you floss while wearing braces:
While cleaning braces is critical, modifying your diet to cut down on sugary foods and drinks is perhaps even more important. Avoid sodas and sweets as much as possible. Especially damaging are sticky candies and those (like Sour Patch Kids) that are highly acidic. If you can’t brush after consuming sugary treats, rinse your mouth with water.
One way to avoid special routines for cleaning braces is to choose aligners for your orthodontic treatment. Unlike braces, you can easily remove aligners every time you eat or drink. There are no wires or brackets for bits of food to get caught in. In addition, you can take the aligners out for oral hygiene too.
The best way to find out whether braces or clear aligners are the best solution for your smile is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bell, a member of the American Orthodontic Society. Call us today at 918-379-4189 to schedule one.
Like a number of our patients, you may not be satisfied with how your smile looks. Perhaps you’re tired of hiding your smile behind your hand or practicing a closed-lip smile in the mirror.
If so, the team at Innovative Family Dentistry has some good news for you. We offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments that we can use to give your smile new life. Below are just a few of the ways that our cosmetic services can help you:

We always love to celebrate holidays and special occasions, so we’re excited to honor hygienists during National Dental Hygienists Week™, April 4-10. In particular, we want to thank Lashel for her hard work and gentle care.
Lashel has been in the dental field for two decades, so she is an expert at cleaning teeth and helping detect problems. She’s been at our office for about 13 years, so she considers many of her patients her friends. Don’t be surprised if she asks about traveling or family, two of her favorite ways to spend time when she’s not helping patients here.
Here’s what one patient had to say:
“Love Dr. Joe. Love all the wonderful people in the office. They take great care of you. Can’t forget Lashel is my favorite hygienist!” D.G.
