He was then, and is still now, driven by a genuine passion for helping dentists provide faster, easier, lower cost dentistry of a higher quality to their patients.

Dr Farran is the owner and founder of the hit vlog series “Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran”, where he discusses these topics with some of the best Doctors, Dentists, and Dental Practitioners of today. Dr. Jonathan Cook was recently a guest on his show, and has allowed us to share with you their conversation.

One of the most common problems we hear about in our dental office is that people don’t know how to choose dental implants services and what doctors to trust with their future smiles and dental health. Missing teeth represents a problem one shouldn’t take lightly, as a bad looking smile and a poor dental health are issues that can impact your general health, self-esteem, confidence, and overall quality of life. But who to choose when it comes to this surgical procedure? Let our dental implants Plantation FL specialists shine some light on the matter!

Teeth’s cleaning is a very popular procedure performed by an expert in periodontics or a dental hygienist. Besides its aesthetic role (gaining a bright, white, clean smile is the immediate effect of the procedure), teeth cleaning has a deeper health-related purpose: it restores the health of your teeth and gums, preventing other more severe health damages from occurring. Our teeth cleaning Hollywood FL experts are here to talk to you about the health benefits of this simple, yet very important procedure.

Dental Crowns and Bridges Fort Lauderdale FL

Many people wonder about the necessity and uses of dental crowns, especially when they have to make a difference between them and traditional cavity fillings. Some even complain that their dentists try to “sell” them dental crowns and need to understand more about the procedure. Today, our pros in dental crowns in Fort Lauderdale FL are here to explain to you some things and answer some frequently asked questions related to this particular treatment.

Braces have been around for nearly 300 years and saw their spike in popularity in the sixties when NASA stepped in with its metal alloy – the nickel-titanium – that offered the braces technology a giant leap. We know many things about braces, but veteran wearers tend to forget a few things. Today, our experts in orthodontics are here to share with you some truths and secrets if you want to get braces in Fort Lauderdale FL.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a technology that helps to reposition the teeth. It’s a series of clear plastic retainers or aligners that fit over top of the teeth, and slowly over time they reposition the teeth to give you a straighter and better balanced smile.

What are the benefits to Invisalign?

This question I get asked often. Invisalign for those people who don’t want sharp metal in their mouth, Invisalign’s a much better option. It’s far less detectable of course than the traditional metal braces, but in some cases, you wouldn’t know that your friend or a family member has it. In addition to that, of course hygiene is obviously much, much easier to maintain. You can remove the retainers in order to brush the teeth as you normally would, whereas with traditional braces there’s a lot of areas that you’re just not going to be able to get to because there’s brackets and metal wires in the mouth.

Question number seven. This question I get all the time. How many times a year should I go to see my dentist? You want to get in the habit of having your teeth professionally cleaned four times per year. I know this sounds like a lot, but it’s a really small price to pay if it means that in exchange, you’ll have peace of mind, and you’ll have really clean teeth.

Question number four. What do I look for when searching for a new dentist? There are several things to consider here. Number one, when you’re searching for a new dentist you want to call the office and ask the staff member if the dentist wears dental loops. These are basically magnifying glasses that a dentist wears to see exponentially better. Although this is not considered standard of care for a dentist, it certainly should be. If the staff member answers no to this question, run.

Number two, should people be concerned about the radiation from dental x-rays? Patients frequently declined dental x-rays because they’re worried about the harmful effects and the potential radiation exposure they can be experiencing. The answer to this question is that while dental x-rays do produce radiation, the amount or dose is infinitely small and does not pose a risk. Not to mention with the advent of things like protective barriers and digital sensors, dentist are further reducing the amount of exposure to their patients. For comparison, here are a few things that most people come across in their daily lives that also exposed them to radiation.
