- [When Whitening, Bonding, or Invisalign May Be Better Than Veneers](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/blog/when-whitening-bonding-or-invisalign-may-be-better-than-veneers/): One of the most valuable things a truly skilled cosmetic dentist can do is tell a patient that they do not need veneers.

- [How To Properly Brush and Floss](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/blog/how-to-properly-brush-and-floss/): Many people do not know how to properly brush and floss. However, brushing and flossing are of paramount importance to oral hygiene.

- [After Dental Implant Surgery – Post Care Instructions](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/blog/dental-implant-surgery-post-care-instructions/): After dental implant surgery, patients must take detailed care of the area surrounding their new implant. For the first month, the dental implant is still integrating with the bone and tissues so the patient’s care routine will be slightly more involved during this initial period. Above all, do not disturb the wound in the initial days that follow surgery. Avoid rinsing, spitting, and touching the mouth for 24 hours after surgery to avoid contaminating or irritating the surgical site.
- [What Are the Causes of Periodontal Disease?](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/blog/what-are-the-causes-of-periodontal-disease/): Periodontal disease, which is also known as gum disease and periodontitis, is a progressive disease that, if left untreated, may result in tooth loss. Gum disease begins with the inflammation and irritation of the gingival tissues which surround and support the teeth. The cause of this inflammation is the toxins found in plaque which cause an ongoing bacterial infection.
- [Periodontal Maintenance – What’s Included and Why?](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/blog/periodontal-maintenance/): Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings), usually four times a year. At these cleaning appointments, the pocket depths will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line.
- [What Does Periodontal Treatment Include?](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/blog/what-does-periodontal-treatment-include/): Periodontal treatment methods depend upon the type and severity of the disease. Your dentist and dental hygienist will evaluate for periodontal disease and recommend the appropriate treatment.

- [Porcelain Crowns (Caps)](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/newport-beach-cosmetic-dentistry/crowns-and-bridges/): Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth-colored crown) is the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
- [Inlays and Onlays](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/newport-beach-cosmetic-dentistry/inlays-and-onlays/): An Onlay restoration is a custom-made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain.

- [Root Canals](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/newport-beach-general-dentistry/root-canals/): Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
- [Composite Fillings](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/newport-beach-cosmetic-dentistry/composite-fillings/): There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Your cosmetic dentist Dr. Farnoush can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth-colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth.

- [Invisalign](https://newportmoderndentistry.com/newport-beach-cosmetic-dentistry/invisalign/): One of the primary concerns people often have about dental braces is the aesthetic impact of the metalwork on their smile.
