🦷 Still have old silver fillings? It might be time for an upgrade!

Silver/mercury fillings can wear down, crack, or even leak—letting decay sneak back in. They also contain 50% mercury and may stain or corrode your natural teeth. 😬

At Durham Prosthodontics, we're a mercury-free practice offering safe, natural-looking alternatives like:
✨ Porcelain inlays
✨ Resin onlays

These tooth-colored restorations blend seamlessly with your smile, strengthen weakened teeth, and even help prevent future decay by releasing fluoride.

📞 Ready to upgrade your old fillings? Call us today at (984) 312‑7056 to schedule your consultation!

🪥 Great oral hygiene starts at home! ✨
Did you know adults over 35 lose more teeth to gum disease than to cavities? That’s why proper brushing and flossing techniques are so important for long-term oral health.

Here are some simple tips from Durham Prosthodontics:
✅ Angle your toothbrush at 45° where your teeth and gums meet
✅ Use gentle circular motions to clean every surface
✅ Don’t forget to brush vertically behind front teeth
✅ Floss with a C-shape motion to reach below the gum line

Brushing and flossing daily helps remove harmful plaque and bacteria—keeping your smile bright and your gums healthy! 🦷💙

🦷 Small Imperfections, Big Fix!

Chips, cracks, or stains got you hiding your smile? Dental bonding at Durham Prosthodontics might be the quick, natural-looking fix you need!

This cosmetic solution restores teeth using a sculpted resin that’s shaped, trimmed, and polished to perfection—all in just one visit.
✅ Great for chips, cracks, discoloration, or minor misalignment
✅ Gentle prep with no drilling
✅ Fast, affordable, and beautiful results

While bonding isn’t as strong as enamel and may need touch-ups in 3–5 years, it’s a fantastic option for subtle yet stunning smile improvements.

Did you know? A professional dental cleaning—also known as prophylaxis—does so much more than just polish your teeth! ✨

At Durham Prosthodontics, this preventive treatment removes plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line, helping stop gingivitis and periodontal disease in their tracks.

Even with daily brushing and flossing, only your dental team can remove hardened deposits that threaten gum health.

✅ Stops gum disease early
✅ Removes surface stains for a brighter smile
✅ Freshens breath by eliminating odor-causing bacteria

For most patients, cleanings every 6 months help keep your oral health on point!

A Happy Accident That Changed Dentistry Forever 🦷✨

Did you know? In 1952, Dr. Per-Ingvar Brånemark discovered—by accident—that bone naturally fuses to titanium. That breakthrough paved the way for modern dental implants, restoring millions of smiles worldwide.

At Durham Prosthodontics, we proudly continue this legacy by transforming smiles every day with advanced implant solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

Bridge or Implant? Let’s Break It Down. 🦷

Traditional bridges can last 7–10 years but often require drilling into healthy adjacent teeth.
Dental implants, on the other hand, typically last 25+ years—and preserve your natural enamel.

Every smile is different. Let’s find the solution that fits yours best.

🦷 Allergic to Metal? There’s a Natural-Looking Solution.

If you’re sensitive to metal, zirconia implants offer a strong, aesthetic, and 100% ceramic alternative to titanium. These hypoallergenic implants integrate seamlessly with bone while blending beautifully with your natural gum tissue—delivering both health and harmony in your smile.

At Durham Prosthodontics, we believe comfort and beauty should go hand-in-hand.

💥 Did You Know?
The force from bruxism (teeth grinding) can exceed 250 lbs—more than enough to crack crowns, wear down teeth, and strain your jaw joints.

✅ Absorbs damaging bite forces
✅ Shields your crowns, veneers, and natural teeth
✅ Reduces stress on your TMJ

Protect your restorations—and your smile—while you sleep. 😴🦷

🦷 Did You Know?
Your jawbone can shrink up to 25% in width within just one year after tooth loss. That’s why replacing missing teeth promptly isn’t just about appearance—it’s about preserving your facial structure and long-term oral health.

Dental implants at Durham Prosthodontics don’t just fill gaps—they actively stimulate the bone, keeping your jaw strong and your facial contours youthful.

Don’t wait—protect your smile from the inside out.
