The Straighter Teeth You’ve Always Wanted with Six Month Smiles® in Castle Rock, WA

August 24, 2014

164125777Straight teeth are largely considered the building blocks of an attractive, healthy smile, but very few people are born with ideal alignment. Gaps, crowding, and crooked teeth can be corrected with orthodontic treatment, though traditional braces aren’t for everyone. That’s why patients in Castle Rock, WA and the surrounding areas turn to Cowlitz River Dental and Six Month Smiles for help. As a trusted provider of Six Month Smiles® orthodontics, Dr. L. Blaine Kennington helps patients with a variety of misalignment issues achieve the straighter, healthier teeth they need to smile with confidence.

Benefits of Six Month Smiles®

Six Month Smiles® orthodontic treatment is similar to traditional braces in that it utilizes gentle force to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. With this revolutionary short term orthodontic method, however, the front teeth are the primary focus of treatment. Using virtually invisible brackets and tooth-colored wires, Dr. Kennington will help you rapidly correct common problems like uneven spacing, gaps, and moderately crooked teeth.

Proven safe and effective, the Six Month Smiles® system can dramatically transform your smile  – often in as little as six short months. The shorter treatment duration means that you’ll save money, too, making Six Month Smiles® a highly preferred method for patients with a fixed budget. You’ll love how easy and quick the process is almost as much as you love your new smile!

Having Problems with Dental Anxiety? Dr. Kennington & Sedation Dentistry Can Help

August 10, 2014

147352006Does the thought of undergoing even a simple dental procedure cause you to feel nervous? Do you find yourself avoiding routine checkups because of a bad dental experience in the past? Dental anxiety is a common problem for millions of adults across America, but fear of dental treatment doesn’t have to control your life any longer. At Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, Dr. L. Blaine Kennington and his team genuinely care about your comfort and well-being while you’re in our office, so we do everything we can to make sure that every visit is a pleasantly memorable one. One way we accomplish this is through sedation dentistry.

How Can Sedation Dentistry Help Me?

When you’re nervous or anxious in the dental chair, your muscles are tense and your subconscious can trick you into expecting the worst. You’re uncomfortable and wary, considerably more prone to sudden, jerky movements that can interfere with your treatment. Fortunately, we have a solution that can dramatically improve your state of mind and level of physical comfort while we provide you with the care you need: sedation dentistry. With both oral conscious sedation and IV sedation, Dr. Kennington can help you find genuine calm and relaxation throughout the duration of your procedure. Depending upon the nature of your treatment, your individual health history, and your level of anxiety, Dr. Kennington will prescribe the sedation dentistry option that best fulfills your unique needs.

Sedation dentistry isn’t just for patients who experience fear or anxiety in the dental chair. This safe, effective method is also especially helpful in situations in which a patient experiences difficulty lying still for an extended period of time. Patients with excessively sensitive gag reflexes also find relief with sedation dentistry, as do individuals who have a hard time staying numb with local anesthetics.
