Have you ever been eating an ice cream cone in Riverside when you felt a sudden jolt of pain in one of your teeth? If the enamel is eroded, or the gums have receded, the dentin layer of the tooth is exposed. The substances that cause tooth pain travel to the pulp where the nerves of the tooth are located. Ouch!

Tooth sensitivity can be a signal that something is wrong. It may be caused by periodontal disease or bacteria build-up in a crack in a tooth.

Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of factors including acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding, or cracked teeth. If your teeth are sensitive following a professional teeth whitening such as the ones we do here at Greenway Dental Excellence, the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our Riverside patients is brushing too hard. That’s right; it is possible to brush too hard!

If you experience constant or intermittent pain in your teeth or gums, call 951.786.0600 right away to make an appointment. Kurt Greenway takes tooth pain seriously.

At Greenway Dental Excellence in Riverside, we not only treat tooth sensitivity problems, we also perform entire smile makeovers for cosmetic dentistry patients in the Lake Elsinore and Upland areas. You’ll find us in the 92506 zip code area.

Run your tongue along the gumline behind your lower front teeth. Do you feel a ridge? This is probably tartar or dental calculus.

Even if you brush and floss regularly, plaque and tartar can gradually accumulate. If not removed, these bacteria-breeding substances cause the gums to become irritated and swollen. Eventually, the gums become detached from the tooth, creating a ‘pocket’. This creates a new space for plaque and tartar to grow. In advanced stages of periodontal disease, the toxins created by the bacteria literally rot the gum, teeth and bone.

At Greenway Dental Excellence in Riverside, we perform the most thorough dental cleanings possible. Gum disease can be reversed in its early stages.

Our goal is to help our Los Angles dental patients prevent gum disease before any damage occurs. Cleanings include root planing and periodontal scaling. Scaling removes the plaque and calculus above and, especially, below the gumline where your toothbrush cannot reach. Planing smoothes root surfaces so it is more difficult for plaque and tartar to accumulate and grow. It also creates a healthy surface for the gums to reattach to the root if necessary.

To schedule a deep cleaning, call 951.786.0600. We are located at 3679 Arlington Ave in Riverside. In addition to providing comprehensive dental cleanings, we create mega-watt smiles for cosmetic dentistry clients in the Lake Elsinore and Upland area. See www.riversidedds.com for more information about our state-of-the-art dental practice.

Most Los Angles residents have plenty of things to smile about.

However, there are some Riverside and Lake Elsinore folks who avoid smiling at all costs. Are you one of those people who cover their mouth when they laugh? Do you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you? Have you been hiding unsightly teeth for years?

It’s time to take care of those tooth problems and get a new lease on life.

Kurt Greenway DDS at Greenway Dental Excellence in Riverside can make it happen!

If you are missing one or more teeth, and live in the Los Angles area, talk to us about dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that includes both root and crown. Because it is anchored into the jawbone, it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Are your teeth yellow or gray? Have your teeth whitened at our Riverside dental practice and experience an instant transformation.

Many of your Upland and Fountain Valley friends and neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. They correct several types of imperfections and can be applied in just one visit to our Riverside dental office.

Riverside cosmetic dentistry is part science and part art.

I’m Kurt Greenway of Greenway Dental Excellence and enjoy using my extensive dental training and specialized artistic skills to design treatment plans unique to each of my Riverside cosmetic dental clients.

In order to achieve an attractive, yet natural looking result, I do much more than recommend specific procedures. I consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. In order to create a balanced look, the facial shape and coloring is taken into account. The Los Angles dentistry client’s age, health condition and lifestyle all influence the plan.

At Greenway Dental Excellence, there is no one size fits all treatment plan.

My artistic abilities have been perfected over several years of creating smile transformations for my Lake Elsinore and Upland cosmetic dentistry clients. I am constantly receiving the latest training in new techniques and materials.

Even fairly recent cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers have advanced considerably. Dental implants are a truly remarkable solution for our California dental clients who have lost one or more teeth.

I would love to design a personalized smile makeover for you. When the work has been completed and you are enjoying your new look, it will only be obvious to those who see you all the time. Others will assume you have always been blessed with a naturally beautiful and healthy smile.

Many Riverside cosmetic dentistry patients with a gummy smile undergo crown lengthening surgery to bring proper balance and symmetry to their smile. Gum tissue and, in some cases, bone is removed to expose more of the visible part of a tooth. It is a safe procedure that does not affect healthy tooth structure.

A ‘gummy smile‘ is a term used to describe a smile with teeth that appear too short because an unusual amount of bone and soft tissue hide part of the crown. Our Riverside cosmetic dental patients who have opted for crown lengthening love how their new perfect smile looks and feels. Some of our Fountain Valley crown lengthening clients also choose teeth whitening for an extra-dazzling smile!

Crown lengthening is not used solely for cosmetic reasons. When a tooth is injured and breaks at the gum line or if a filling or crown comes off a tooth that contains decay, crown lengthening makes additional tooth structure accessible for further restorative work. It is also used to treat some types of periodontal disease.

At Greenway Dental Excellence, we perform cosmetic and restorative crown lengthening for patients in the Riverside, Lake Elsinore and Upland area. The surgery can be performed by a general dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon.

If you are interested in crown lengthening or other cosmetic dental procedures and live in the Los Angles, area, schedule an exam by calling 951.786.0600. We are conveniently located at 3679 Arlington Ave in Riverside. When you come in, we can show you before and after photos of California cosmetic dentistry clients who are enjoying their new smile.
