Do you regularly experience complications with your oral health or have a dental problem but have been postponing treatment? Complications with your oral health can cause discomfort, affect your quality of life, and lead to recurring issues that can also have a big impact on your wallet. Now is a wonderful time to invest in your oral health. You may be surprised to learn that choosing a more expensive and extensive treatment now can save you money in the future. Read on to learn more.

Now is a Great Time to Invest in Your Oral Health
When a patient experiences complications with their oral health, it is not uncommon for them to be interested in the fastest and most cost-effective solution. However, depending on the frequency of problems or the type of complication, choosing a more expensive and extensive procedure may be more beneficial to your long-term oral health.

Improve the Alignment of Your Teeth
Misaligned, crowded teeth make brushing and flossing difficult. Over time, this can lead to issues with dental decay. A dental filling is the usual treatment recommended for cavities. However, the situation becomes more complicated when the patient has recurring decay. Eventually, the structure of the tooth will need to be restored with a dental crown. Numerous dental fillings and a dental crown can be a considerable expense if you add up the cost over the years. One way to eliminate issues with recurring decay is to improve the alignment of your teeth with orthodontic treatment. Although orthodontic treatment takes several months to complete, it straightens your teeth and helps eliminate recurring problems with decay caused by overcrowding.

Choose Your Tooth Replacement Wisely
We want to encourage our patients who have experienced tooth loss or need a tooth replacement to think about the future of their oral health. The fastest and most cost-effective treatment may not be what is best for your teeth when you think about longevity. Some of the more cost-effective tooth replacement options are not permanent and may need to be updated several times over the years. Other replacement options, such as dental implants, have a higher upfront cost but will last for many decades, if not the rest of your life.
