3 Ways To Improve Your Dental Health This Summer [BLOG]

digiallorenzo wellness collegevilleSummer is the perfect time to give your mouth and body a fresh start.

At our Collegeville and Montoursville dental offices, you have a team of experienced professionals who can combine the best in modern, innovative care with tried-and-true ancient practices to promote better total health and quality of life!

3 Ways To Enjoy Better Dental Health This Summer!

Here are three ways your friends at the LANAP & Implant Center can help you improve your dental health this summer:

#1 – Improve Your Diet With Nutritional Therapy

Sometimes, improving your dental health can be as simple as improving your diet. If you’re dedicated to good daily oral hygiene and routine dental care, making a few changes to your nutrition can be an easy way to help strengthen your teeth and gums against harmful bacteria and acids that attempt to deteriorate them.

We offer nutritional therapy as part of our integrated approach to dental care, unlocking your body’s immunity and healing potential against threats to your oral and overall health. You can sit down with one of our specialists to evaluate your eating habits and talk about ways to add more vitamins, calcium, protein, and other bone and teeth-building nutrients to your daily diet.

#2 – Restore Unhealthy Gums With Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease can creep in and start destroying your oral health without you noticing the early symptoms. But given enough time, the infection will deteriorate everything in its path, leading to:

  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Loose, shifting teeth
  • Gum tenderness and irritation
  • Tooth loss

Obviously, these put your oral and overall health at serious risk for further complications, but it also leaves you with an unhealthy, unattractive smile.

One of our specialties is restoring infected gums using an advanced laser-assisted technique called LANAP. This method quickly and painlessly removes infection without any cutting or stitching, which allows you to heal faster. Our nonsurgical gum disease treatment can get your dental health back on track, prevent tooth loss in the future, and help you live more fully, confidently, and comfortably.

#3 – Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants

Tooth loss is just as emotionally devastating as it is detrimental to your oral health. With every missing tooth, you lose jawbone mass and healthy gum tissue, both of which are essential to stabilizing your remaining teeth and your total health.

But there’s no better expert to help you find lasting solutions that encourage your body’s natural healing powers than with dental implant specialist, Dr. DiGiallorenzo!

He has decades of experience as a practicing dentist and a dedicated patient advocate, always researching better ways to improve treatment outcomes. With his skills and our commitment to technology, you can enjoy the full oral function and improve your quality of life by securing your replacement teeth with metal-free dental implants .

Whether you’re missing one tooth or need a full arch of new teeth, we can provide aesthetically-pleasing, biocompatible dental implants to anchor your teeth and give you better, more lasting dental health!

Schedule An Appointment!

Invest in yourself this summer by visiting Dr. DiGiallorenzo, an expert in implantology, as well as innovative reconstructive and holistic dentistry.

With Dr. D and our team, you can start living more fully with improved dental health and better overall wellness!

Call the LANAP & Implant Center at 610-228-4366 for our Collegeville, PA office or 570-322-4741 for our Montoursville location, or feel free to fill out our convenient online form to schedule an appointment.

Should I Try Dental Sedation To Calm My Nerves? [QUIZ]

If you’re nervous about going to the dentist, your heart might race, your palms may sweat, and you’ll likely have butterflies in your stomach before and during your appointments.

That’s because routine dental cleanings and exams are a critical part of maintaining good oral and overall health.

Solve Your Smile Problems With Dental Lasers! [BLOG]

dental laser technologyWe all know that a person’s smile has the power to make a lasting first impression when meeting new people and impact the way we feel about ourselves and our appearance.

That’s why you deserve to not only have a beautiful smile you’re proud to show off, but healthy teeth and gums keep your smile looking great and your overall health intact throughout your life.

3 Smile Problems & Their Dental Laser Solutions!

Here are three ways our team at the LANAP & Implant Center can restore your smile using dental laser technology in Collegeville, PA:

*Unhealthy Gums*

Our team specializes in restoring periodontal health and replacing teeth you may have lost as a consequence of gum disease and other dental health issues.

In fact, we named our practice after one of our most innovative techniques!

LANAP stands for laser-assisted new attachment procedure, and it’s completely transformed treatment for gum infections. This technique is not only more effective and comfortable for removing toxic oral bacteria from your mouth than outdated gum disease treatments, but it promotes healthy gum regeneration and faster healing!

*Overwhelming Gums*

If you see yourself smiling in the mirror or in pictures and notice little else than your gums, you may have more gum tissue than you need. But with dental lasers, we can give your smile balance with crown lengthening by gently moving your gum line up and exposing more of the crowns of your teeth.

You can finally smile confidently knowing your teeth are what people notice instead of your gums always stealing the show!

*Unsightly Teeth*

When you have healthy gums and a gumline that shows off your teeth, we can painlessly reshape them with teeth contouring. With a laser, we’re able to remove tooth enamel little by little at the ends and edges until each tooth is beautifully sculpted.

This smile enhancement is ideal for correcting worn, uneven, or awkwardly-shaped teeth so your smile is more consistent and visually appealing.

If you’re uneasy about dental treatment in general, we offer various forms of sedation, as well as a computer-guided numbing technique that’s comfortable and wears off quickly after your treatment so you can bounce back faster!

Schedule A Consultation!

Dr. DiGiallorenzo is one of the country’s best dental implants and periodontal specialists, with years of extensive training and experience in modern teeth replacement. He and our team are here to help you find the way back to a healthier, more beautiful smile using the latest tools and techniques.

Dental lasers are part of that commitment to giving you back your life in the most efficient, comfortable way possible!

Can Fasting Be A Nutritional Therapy? [BLOG]

digiallorenzo bone grafts thumb collegevilleDid you ever think about how your oral health and overall health might be linked? With nutritional therapy solutions from our Collegeville, PA dentist’s office, we can help you give them both a big boost. You see, your diet impacts many aspects of your life including how well your body heals, your likelihood of developing cavities and infections, and even how long you can expect to live. Along those lines, today we are going to share some intriguing information about a new trend in holistic medicine called intermittent fasting. It fits right in with our own wellness approach .

Believe it or not, this practice can actually be beneficial for your smile, among other things. Keep reading to hear more about it, and then be sure to call us at 610-850-9206 to request your next appointment for homeopathic dentistry and more.

Fasting Is More Than A Spiritual Cleansing Ritual

In a recent blog post (for the Hippocrates Health Institute) entitled, “ The Fast Track: Intermittent Fasting ,”Julie M. Simon explores the pros and cons of this specially-curated form of fasting. She says that once a person gets past the initial tidal wave of unpleasant thoughts related to hunger pangs, light-headedness, restriction, and deprivation, there is actually something worthwhile waiting to be uncovered.

So, what is IF? Simon explains that it involves timing your meals in such a way that there will be extended periods of fasting that go beyond the time you’re asleep.

“This,” Simon says, “means eating, for example, between the hours of 11 am and 7 pm or noon and 8 pm, or any eight-hour period you prefer, allowing for approximately three food-free hours before bed. Most people who practice IF skip breakfast; others skip dinner. During your ‘feeding window,’ you might consume two large meals or two small meals plus snacks—whatever feels right for you.”

But why would anyone do that? Great question. The answer, it seems, is on account of the health benefits. Research suggests that timing your food intake in this fashion will optimize your health, weight, and longevity. Who wouldn’t want that?!

More Food For Thought

In our modern American society, most of us are too busy to even realize that our bodies are digesting and processing food for something like 16 hours every day. That is putting an unnecessary strain on your internal systems.

While we may be busy, what are we really doing? Most of us are engaged in activities that are far more sedentary in nature than the things our ancestors would have been involved with. Simon insists that this situation combined with our “constant food abundance” is a recipe for weight gain and obesity.

The evidence suggests that IF counteracts this fatty phenomenon by reducing cravings, which quickly translates into weight loss. As dentists, we concur wholeheartedly with Simon’s findings that, “less time eating means fewer hours with sticky, sweet foods on your teeth, which is always better for your teeth and gums.”

What’s more, IF helps promote insulin sensitivity which can help keep chronic diseases at bay.

And, get this: according to Simon’s article, IF has been shown to increase the rate of human growth hormone production, which SLOWS THE AGING PROCESS and has a crucial role in well-being and fitness.

IF can also help you retain information, like what you are reading right now since it enhances brain activity and preserves memory functioning and learning.

In conclusion, Simon reiterates that IF is an easy way of potentially lengthening your life. She says this is because IF makes your day less complex, which in turn reduces stress. Plus, IF has been shown to improve the beneficial bacteria in your gut, leading to better immune function.

At the end of the day, IF is an evidence-based lifestyle adjustment for taking control of your health and fitness. It is nothing to enter into lightly. You should definitely talk it over with your physician or dentist before embarking on such a transformational journey.

We realize that’s a lot to consider. If you are ready to continue the conversation about your oral health and overall health and wellness, we are here for you.
