The Reno Dentist Cosmetic Dentistry For Drop-Dead Gorgeous Smiles

Posted on December 21, 2012December 20, 2012

Hello, I’m Dr. Shane Sykes of The Reno Dentist. At The Reno Dentist, we expertly provide all of the advanced general and cosmetic dental procedures available including teeth whitening, clear braces, dental crowns and bridges, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, gum contouring, and crown lengthening.

We also fill cavities with tooth-colored fillings that blend perfectly with your natural teeth. In addition, our hygienists perform the most thorough deep cleanings in Reno for our general dentistry clients whose healthy smiles need nothing else.

If your smile needs a lot more than a deep cleaning, let’s talk about cosmetic dentistry. There have never been so many ways to create the smile you deserve.

Having a drop-dead gorgeous smile is not just about attractiveness. It’s about oral health and its connection to overall physical health. It’s about self-esteem and self-respect. It’s about being comfortable with your age and stage of life. It’s about presenting yourself polished and professionally in your Reno career, among your family members, and with your friends and colleagues.

A smile makeover brings out your very best!

What could a smile makeover do for you? Let’s talk about it. Call 775-323-0700 today to book a friendly and informative consultation at our beautiful and comfortable Reno cosmetic dental practice- The Reno Dentist .

Tooth-Colored Fillings in Sparks

Posted on December 7, 2012December 5, 2012

Hello! Welcome to the The Reno Dentist blog. If this your first visit, we hope you find useful information about our Sparks NV area cosmetic dentistry practice. If you have read some of our previous articles, we are glad you checked back with us. We post new articles regularly.

My name is Dr. Shane Sykes, DMD. I have been practicing cosmetic and general dentistry in the Sparks NV area since 2011. The Reno Dentist is a full-service dental office located at 855 W Seventh St Ste 200, Reno NV. In addition to providing comprehensive examinations and deep cleanings for clients in the Sparks NV area, we perform all types of tooth restorations.

When a tooth has decay or has been damaged, a dental restoration is needed to ‘restore’ the tooth to its previous intact condition. A dental filling is one of the most common and well-known types of restorations. A dental filling is used to repair decayed or damaged tooth surfaces. Most people have a few fillings in their mouth.

If you have old silver amalgam fillings, we can replace them with nearly-invisible fillings tooth colored. These fillings are made out of a strong composite resin. Many of our Sparks NV restorative dentistry patients have replaced their old silver fillings with fillings matched to their teeth. You can improve your smile instantly and relatively inexpensively by getting rid of the ‘metal’.

Another reason some Sparks NV clients have had their old fillings replaced is because they are concerned about the possible heavy metal toxicity of the mercury in the silver.

If you would like to replace your amalgam fillings, call us at 775-323-0700 to schedule a consultation. We are currently accepting new patients and would be happy to show you around our Sparks NV cosmetic dental office and introduce you to our friendly team.

Smile – it increases your face value!

Child-Friendly Reno Dentist

Posted on October 12, 2012October 9, 2012

It’s a question that many parents in Reno debate: When should I take my child in for their first dental appointment? The answer may be a little earlier than you think.

The American Dental Association recommends that a child sees a dentist around twelve months of age. This happens to be about the time when the first teeth tend to erupt.

Some Reno area parents may wonder why dental visits are needed so early in their child’s life. Not only will your family dentist want to clean your child’s teeth and apply fluoride, it’s also important for small children to get used to seeing the dentist.

Starting early dental visits will mean that later in life your Reno child is less likely to require braces or other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as dental implants.

If you have a child that is apprehensive about visiting The Reno Dentist, you might want to think about bringing them to your next Reno dental appointment. Seeing you in the dental chair will help them become more comfortable with the idea.

I’m Dr. Shane Sykes, a child-friendly Reno dentist, and I want my patients to have the best oral health possible. I also want them to look their best, so if you have any questions about a smile makeover, give us a call at 775-323-0700.

At The Reno Dentist we offer:

cosmetic dentistry
dental implants
general dentistry
wisdom teeth extraction

Oral Health For Sparks Diabetics

Posted on September 28, 2012September 24, 2012

Today’s Sparks NV dental article is entitled ‘Oral Health For Sparks Diabetics.’ Many Sparks NV general dentistry patients with diabetes have dental problems. However, gum disease, tooth loss, and periodontal disease are not unavoidable.

Blood sugar is the complicating factor. Sparks NV diabetics who control their blood sugar have lower rates of dental problems. In fact, many Sparks NV dentists have noticed no increased risk of dental disease among diabetics who maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

When blood sugar levels rise, the amount of sugars and starches increase in your mouth. These substances combine with the bacteria naturally present to create enamel-eroding plaque. Untreated plaque creates cavities.

In addition to cavities, Sparks NV dental patients with diabetes need to be vigilant about gum health. Because diabetes can make it harder to control the growth of bacteria, the amount of plaque in your mouth can multiply quicker. Plaque not only causes cavities, it inflames and weakens gum tissue and eventually the bone surrounding teeth.

Untreated gum disease progresses to periodontitis, a more severe infection. Because Sparks NV diabetics have a lower resistance to infection, it can be difficult to reverse periodontitis in people with diabetes. To make matters even worse, the presence of infection can make it harder to maintain a healthy blood sugar level.

Bottom line? 1: Brush and floss regularly to prevent plaque build-up. 2: See your Sparks NV dentist for twice-yearly cleanings to remove any plaque and tartar that has accumulated under the gumline.

Dr. Sykes of The Reno Dentist is accepting new patients in the Sparks NV area. We can help diabetic dental patients keep their smile beautiful. If you are in need of cosmetic dentistry because of diabetes related decay or gum disease, we can restore your beautiful smile with the latest tooth restoration options. Ask us about crowns, dental implants, implant anchored dentures, porcelain veneers, inlays/onlays, and same-day restorations.

The Reno Dentist is located at 855 W Seventh St Ste 200, Reno NV. Call us at 775-323-0700 to schedule a consultation. Thanks for visiting the our Sparks NV dentistry blog!

Celebrating The Past And Looking To The Future At The Reno Dentist

Posted on September 7, 2012September 5, 2012

It has now been 150 years since the first dental license was issued to Sir John Tomes. Reno dental patients should be grateful for the advances made in dentistry during the past 150 years.

There was a time when blacksmiths and wig makers would also extract teeth with forceps to make a little extra money. Anyone could call themselves a dentist. Often these untrained people broke the jaws of the person they were trying to help. Ouch!

At The Reno Dentist, we celebrate with the Reno dental community and marvel at the many advances made in the history of dentistry, particularly cosmetic dentistry.

One of the modern treatments that has helped countless Reno patients is invisible braces. This non-visible orthodontic therapy is custom made for each patient. They are transparent and removable and will help you achieve your desired smile in about 3 to 18 months.

I am Dr. Shane Sykes. My training didn’t end when I graduated from dental school and opened my practice in Reno. As a cutting-edge cosmetic dentist, I continually seek training so I can expertly perform the latest procedures. In addition, our practice uses the most advanced dental materials available.

If you are one of the many Reno residents who has dreamed of an esthetic improvement to your smile, we invite you to make an appointment with The Reno Dentist to discuss a smile makeover. Complete smile transformations are completed as quickly and professionally as possible – sometimes in just one visit!

One of our most sought after treatments at The Reno Dentist is cosmetic dentistry and many Reno folks are enjoying a brighter smile because of dental implants.

At The Reno Dentist we have been serving the residents of zip code area 89503 since 2011 and would love to provide you and your family with professional family dentistry.

Ignoring It Won’t Make It Go Away

Posted on August 31, 2012August 29, 2012

Are you a busy Sparks NV resident suffering with toothaches, but ignoring the pain? Have you started chewing on one side of your mouth to avoid your sensitive teeth? Have you stopped drinking hot and cold beverages to alleviate the discomfort? Dental pain is like an unpaid speeding ticket, ignoring it won’t make it go away.

Many Sparks NV area adults and children dread seeking relief from a family dentist because they fear the treatment will hurt worse than the pain they are experiencing. Waiting too long to care for your teeth can cause serious health problems–and not just in your mouth.

My name is Dr. Shane Sykes and I have been calming the anxious feelings of my Sparks NV patients since 2011. At The Reno Dentist, we help you relax and ease any discomfort you may have. We create a pleasant dental experience for all of our Sparks NV area patients. We will answer your questions in order to help alleviate your fears and make your dental visit as safe and comfortable as possible.

In addition to general dentistry, The Reno Dentist offers cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, and TMJ treatment for Sparks NV residents.

Your smile can and should be your most attractive feature. Don’t let dental distress keep you from gaining and maintaining a dazzling smile. Let the professional and caring dental team at The Reno Dentist help restore and preserve your oral health. Call today to schedule an appointment. Our phone number is 775-323-0700. At The Reno Dentist we want your smile to last a lifetime.

The Reno Dentist in Reno

Posted on August 17, 2012August 15, 2012

Hello! I’m Dr. Shane Sykes, DMD, of The Reno Dentist in Reno.

I have been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry since 2011. Dentistry is a challenging and fascinating profession; dentists must have diagnostic skills, dexterity, extensive scientific knowledge, and good visual memory. Dentistry also requires artistic ability. In addition to the technical aspects of dentistry, I really enjoy interacting with my Reno family dentistry patients.

I recognize that my clients have other choices in Reno area dental practices, and I work continually to earn their trust and surpass their expectations.

Each Reno dentistry client is unique. Many of my patients come in twice-yearly for an exam and cleaning. We help them maintain excellent oral health. Some Reno cosmetic dentistry clients come to me seeking major restorative dentistry procedures. It is extremely gratifying to complete a smile makeover and see the client’s reaction when they see the result for the first time.

When I have a pre-treatment consultation with a new Reno dentistry client, it is very informative for both of us. The patient learns the specifics about the possible procedures and I learn about the clients’ goals, concerns and expectations. Then I work with the client to develop a dental treatment plan that fits the patient’s needs, desired outcome and budget.

My dental practice is located at 855 W Seventh St Ste 200 in Reno. If you are looking for an experienced dentist in the Reno area, call 775-323-0700 to schedule a consultation.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Cavity Fighting Chewing Gum For Our Reno Patients?

Posted on August 10, 2012July 19, 2012

I’m Dr. Shane Sykes DMD of The Reno Dentist. My Reno dentistry clients often ask me if chewing xylitol gum is an effective substitute for tooth brushing and regular general dentistry exams.

Before I answer that question, let me tell you a little bit about xylitol:

Xylitol is a natural sweetener that was first discovered in birch tree bark but is also found in many fruits and vegetables. Unlike most other sweeteners (natural or synthetic), xylitol is actually good for your teeth. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that xylitol prevents the growth of the bacteria that initiates decay. It also reduces plaque and strengthens tooth enamel.

Xylitol has other benefits, as well. Because it is low on the glycemic index, many of my Reno diabetic patients enjoy it as a healthy alternative to sugar. If my cosmetic dentistry patients complain about frequent dry mouth, I recommend Xylitol gum or mints to stimulate saliva production without promoting tooth decay.

Now, back to the golden question. Is xylitol gum just as effective as brushing your teeth and seeing your Reno family dentist regularly? Absolutely not! If you cannot brush your teeth after a meal, chewing xylitol gum for five or ten minutes is probably a good idea. However, you should still brush your teeth thoroughly (with a soft brush) after meals and get twice-yearly exams and oral dentistry deep cleanings at your Reno cosmetic dentistry clinic.

At The Reno Dentist, our goal is to keep your smile healthy and beautiful for life by preventing dental problems before they start. If you postpone dental visits until you feel pain, you risk losing teeth and most certainly will require more extensive treatment than if the problem was caught earlier. Is it time for a dental exam? Call us at 775-323-0700 to book an appointment. Our knowledgeable is waiting to take care of all your dental needs.
