Philly Dentistry

Do you wake up with migraines in the morning? This could be a sign of clenching or grinding your teeth in your sleep. You might be a good candidate for a nightguard. You may not realize the clenching or grinding, but a lot of people do fall victim to it. Time after time, patients sit in the chair and say, “I don’t clench or grind.” However, they are clenching and grinding as they say that! Over time, the constant wear and tear of clenching or grinding take a toll on your teeth.

The key to overcoming teeth grinding is having awareness. Are your teeth touching? Right now, as you are reading this blog, are your teeth touching? If so, that is a clear sign of dental damage. Your teeth shouldn’t touch throughout the day at all unless you are chewing food. Your jaw should be in a constant relaxed state with a small space between your upper and lower teeth. After reading this article, try to be more mindful and catch yourself when your teeth are clenching or grinding.

When you are asleep, it is impossible to catch yourself clenching or grinding. So, what can you do? Here at Philly Dentistry, we can make you a custom nightguard to wear while sleeping. Wearing a nightguard while you sleep can save you from migraines, pain or discomfort, and future more expensive dental issues. The nightguard works as a barrier between your teeth and provides a cushion preventing dental damage. Wearing a nightguard usually provides pain or discomfort relief between one and six weeks of night-time wear.

Our team has treated thousands of patients by providing nightguards. These patients have suffered from migraines, cracked or worn teeth, and discomfort. Shortly after wearing their nightguard, all of that went away. A slight change in your nightly routine can save your teeth. For a free consultation, call our office today at (215) 568-6222! Dr. Cirka, Dr. Jeon, and Dr. Ridge are Philadelphia’s best and want to get you healthy! We hope to see you soon.

June is Dental Smiles Month, so we thought it would only be appropriate to highlight one of our awesome patients showing off their fabulous smiles! Our patient Blanche first came to us and felt self-conscious with her smile. She told us how she takes pride in her appearance and has always made it a point to take care of herself. For instance, she has always practiced skincare and hair care. So much so, that she is accustomed to receiving compliments about her awesome skin daily. However, she never thought about the importance of dental care.

Blanche S. Smile

From her first visit, Blanche was a ray of sunshine. Her positive energy radiated off of her and by the end of her appointment, everyone in the office felt like a friend of Blanche. After a few visits with our team, Blanche started feeling confident with her smile again. Below are a few words from Blanche about her smile makeover.

Thank you for my smile

“I first came to the Philadelphia Dentistry all screwed up so to speak as far as my teeth are concerned. Prior to my coming to Philadelphia Dentistry, I dared not to show my teeth while smiling because of the bad appearance of my teeth. I mean quite a few of my teeth were brown colored and full of backed-up decay, particularly the bottom front teeth. After saying all that, I hope you can understand the full picture as to why I didn’t show my teeth while smiling. I was absolutely ashamed.

Thanks to Philadelphia Dentistry that has all changed. After about three visits to the Philadelphia Dentistry, I am no longer ashamed to show my teeth while I’m smiling, in fact, I make sure in every one of my smiles that my teeth are showing. Thank you, Philadelphia Dentistry, for putting a big smile on my face and allowing me to show my teeth with pride.” -Blanche S.

Our biggest sale, EVER! For the entire month of June, we invite you to take advantage of our $1,000 OFF Invisalign sale. This sale is applicable to full Invisalign, regular Invisalign, and Invisalign 10 treatments. We can’t think of a better way to kick off summer than to have the biggest Invisalign sale ever.

Not your parent’s braces

Invisalign is a series of custom trays that are laser cut to shape your teeth. Particularly, the trays are fitted to shift your teeth to your desired smile. The benefit of having Invisalign trays is not only for health but also for appearance.  

Here are some more benefits to Invisalign: 

• Straight teeth are easier to clean and floss
• Fewer cavities
• Healthier gums
• Comfortable, removable, and invisible
• Fast results
• Affordable

Where to start

To start with Invisalign, it’s super easy. We take a series of photos, a mold to create your custom trays, and x-rays. Once we have everything, we send your records to the lab. Also, we will take scans of your smile with our iTero scanner. With this advanced technology, we can see your current smile on our screen and see what your smile would look like after Invisalign. Pretty cool right?! After evaluating everything with the technician, our amazing doctors will come up with a treatment plan that works specifically for you. Your entire experience with Invisalign and Philly Dentistry will be completely personalized just for you. It is our mission to create a treatment plan that exceeds your smile goals!
