Emergency Dental Services
Accidents can happen to anyone – even the most careful patients. When it comes to dental emergencies, time is of the essence. One must act quickly or run the risk of losing a tooth. Unfortunately, many patients do not know what to do in case of a dental emergency. Some do not even know what is classified as a dental emergency at all. Common possible dental emergencies include, but are not limited to:
- Bitten tongue or lip
- Broken jaw
- Cracked teeth
- Knocked-out teeth (whether they be baby teeth or permanent teeth)
- Objects stuck in the mouth
Some of these injuries can be minor and treated at home. However, they can quickly escalate into something more serious and require immediate medical attention. For best results, patients should contact a dentist right away to determine how to handle the emergency. In some cases, the dentist may even schedule an after-hours appointment to accommodate their needs and address the problem.

Routine Checkups and Care
Routine dental checkups and care are an integral part of preventative health. Most people need to see the dentist once or twice per year. However, everyone's needs are different, and some patients need to come in more frequently than others. Here at KRB Dentistry, we can determine each patient's unique needs – and how to accommodate them best. Some higher-risk populations include, but are not limited to:
- Diabetics
- People prone to cavities or excess plaque
- People with gum disease
- People with weak immune systems
- Pregnant women
- Smokers
In any case, everybody should go to the dentist regularly – even if they keep a vigilant oral hygiene regimen. Several dental health issues are virtually invisible to the untrained eye, and our team can help look for problems before they have the chance to worsen. As such, routine checkups and care can save patients money in the long run.

Cosmetic Dental Services
Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry that aims to enhance the aesthetics of one's smile. It can benefit patients with broken, chipped, discolored, gapped, misaligned, misshapen, or worn teeth. Popular types of cosmetic dental services include, but are not limited to:
- Dental bonding
- Dental bridges
- Dental crowns
- Dental implants
- Dental veneers
- Inlays and onlays
- Teeth whitening
Additionally, at least one study has shown that patients' feelings of satisfaction with their own smiles are directly linked to feelings of self-confidence. In other words, enhancing one's smile often has the side effect of improving one's overall quality of life. Some cosmetic dental services also have restorative benefits.

Orthodontic Services
Orthodontics is the specialty branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating irregularities of the teeth and jaws. It is most popularly associated with the teeth straightening method of braces. While some people mistakenly believe that braces only have cosmetic benefits, they also come with great functional and health advantages. For example, misaligned teeth can be more difficult to clean, making them more prone to tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Additionally, malocclusion can make it challenging to chew correctly, leading to headaches, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMJD), and shoulder or back pain. Aside from braces, other orthodontic devices include special fixed appliances, space maintainers, aligners, jaw repositioning appliances, lip and cheek bumpers, palatal expanders, retainers, and headgear.

Dental Technology and Other Services
Today, dental providers frequently use technological tools. Due to a growing demand for telehealth, many dentists offer virtual visits and online patient portals. These services can streamline the treatment process and boost accessibility. Patient portals keep important information at your fingertips, and virtual visits cut down on travel time.
Some practices also feature on-site dental labs, including 3D printers. Patients might also encounter digital check-ins or intraoral cameras and televisions in each exam room. These services can speed up office appointments and make dental care more comfortable. Our office team can provide more details about dental tech.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does it matter if my child knocks out a tooth?
A. Yes. Many people mistakenly believe that prematurely losing baby teeth is harmless. In reality, they act as placeholders for the permanent adult teeth, and premature loss can cause tooth crowding and other problems. If your child has lost a baby tooth, preserve the tooth by keeping it moist and get to a dentist right away.
Q. Do I still need to see a dentist if I do not have any signs of dental health problems?
A. Everyone should see a dentist. As mentioned earlier, many potential dental health problems can go unnoticed by the untrained eye. Only a dental professional can ensure that your oral cavity is in good condition and prevent any health problems from developing.
Q. How long do cosmetic dentistry services take?
A. The answer varies on a service-by-service basis. Additionally, some patients choose to take on several cosmetic dentistry procedures for a full "smile makeover." Generally speaking, the more services you choose to take on, the longer it will take.
Q. Is there an ideal age for orthodontic treatment?
A. It is never too late for orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment can help improve one's oral health and functionality. However, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have their first checkup with an orthodontist by no later than seven years old.
Q. Are digital dental X-rays safe?
A. Yes. Digital dental X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays and considerably less radiation than all other types of X-rays. Additionally, we will only recommend X-rays if the benefits outweigh the risks.
