E-Max Crowns - Optimal Strength and Wear Resistance

Based in Hallandale Beach, Florida, Raphael Arwas, DDS, offers patients quality general and cosmetic dentistry services. Dr. Raphael Arwas performs implants in cases where teeth have been lost, and he also offers all-ceramic E-Max crowns. The E-max presents several advantages over other types of crowns, including optimal resistance to chipping and cracking. In addition to durability, a key feature of ceramic formulations is attractiveness, as the crowns look completely natural, making them ideal replacements for stained and damaged teeth. A key differentiator of the E-Max crown is its construction from a single, top-grade, lithium disilicate ceramic block. This ensures its strength and durability and makes it a perfect material for even those teeth that experience significant wear. In preparing the tooth for an E-max crown, the dentist reshapes the natural tooth with a small drill and takes an impression. This impression is sent to a dental laboratory for the zirconia crown to be fabricated. During the wait, which can be as long as 2 or 3 weeks, the patient wears a temporary crown.

Causes of Bad Breath

Raphael Arwas, DDS, operates a dentistry practice in Hallandale, Florida. There, Dr. Raphael Arwas treats a wide range of oral health problems, such as bad breath. An embarrassing problem for many individuals, bad breath can often result from certain oral health issues. If a person struggles with bad breath, he or she can try number of approaches to try to deal with the problem. For instance, an individual should make sure that they are brushing and flossing thoroughly every day, as small pieces of food stuck between the teeth can sometime contribute to bad breath. If a person has dentures, he or she should be sure to clean them well. However, flossing and brushing can’t get rid of bad breath that results from eating strong-smelling foods, such as those containing garlic. When the body breaks down these foods, the strong smells associated with them become present in the breath. Mouthwash and oral hygiene can help cover the scent of the breath, but the smell will remain until the foods have been processed by the body. Therefore, if bad breath is a problem, an individual should avoid these types of foods. In some cases, bad breath may indicate a more serious health issue, such as a respiratory tract infection, acid reflux, a liver condition, or other problems. If a person’s bad breath is persistent or particularly strong, he or she should consult with a dental professional.

Three Benefits of Digital Dental X-ray Imaging

Hallandale Beach, Florida-based Raphael Arwas, DDS, owns Hallandale Beach Dental. As the practice’s leader, Dr. Raphael Arwas offers a wide range of dental services, including digital dental x-ray imaging, which has emerged as a promising new technology in dentistry. Here is a quick look at three benefits of digital radiography. Better care: Above all, digital x-ray imaging minimizes radiation exposure for both patient and provider. Compared to traditional radiography, digital x-rays expose patients to only 25 percent of the radiation. Better image quality: Because dentistry often deals with very small structures in the mouth, it is important for dentists to be able to access high quality images. Using digital x-ray imaging, dentists can identify small cracks and fractures that could be overlooked in traditional radiographs. Better image sharing: In today’s digital world, health care providers increasingly rely on instantaneous sharing of medical documents. With digital radiographs, dentists can send images to fellow practitioners in a matter of seconds, increasing overall quality of care.

An Overview of Veneers for Teeth

Dr. Raphael Arwas, owner of a dental practice in Hallandale Beach, Florida, has worked with patients of all ages. In addition to providing general dentistry and routine oral health services, Raphael Arwas, DDS, has experience in cosmetic dentistry, including the application of veneers. For people who have teeth that are darker in color due to root canal treatments, large fillings, or other causes, veneers provide a way to restore the appearance of whiter teeth. In addition to helping solve the problem of discoloration, veneers can be used to correct broken teeth, teeth will chips, and tooth misalignments. In particular, they can cover the appearance of gaps and bulges, as well as make teeth that have been worn down appear a normal length. The process of getting veneers first involves a visit with a dentist to determine one’s suitability for the procedure. Later, the dentist will prepare the teeth for veneers by trimming off some of the enamel and taking an impression of the area where the veneers will be applied. This impression is used to build custom veneers, which will be bonded to the teeth at a later date.

Brief Overview of the Sinus Augmentation Procedure

Raphael Arwas, DDS, has owned Florida's Hallandale Beach Dental since 2008. Dr. Raphael Arwas provides patients with a variety of dental procedures, including sinus lifts. A sinus lift, as provided by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or periodontist, is performed when an individual’s upper jaw lacks the proper bone height required for a dental implant procedure. Sometimes referred to as a sinus augmentation, a lift procedure adds bone to the upper jaw around the molars and premolars, providing more space for the person’s maxillary sinuses. There are a number of reasons a dental specialist may need to perform an augmentation procedure. A person may require a sinus lift if he has lost teeth in their upper jaw, particularly toward the back of the jaw. Periodontal gum disease and tooth loss can also result in loss of bone height and necessitate a lift procedure. In some cases, the maxillary sinus simply may grow at an unexpected rate, becoming larger with age before eventually growing too close to the jaw for an implant procedure to take place.
