Leading Dental Care Providers in Lawton, Oklahoma
Cosmetic Dentistry
Few things inspire more self-confidence than having a great smile; when you feel your best, or when you project confidence in everything you do. At Premier Dental Arts in Lawton, Oklahoma, Dr. Brett R. Warn leads a team of professionals dedicated to helping you make the most out of your smile. People turn to Premier Dental Arts for access to a wide range of cosmetic services, all of which represent the cutting edge in cosmetic dentistry techniques and an embrace of new technology.
How is cosmetic dentistry different from preventive dental care?
Simply put, cosmetic dentistry is the term for any dental procedure that is used to make improvements to the appearance of your smile. While preventive dental care addresses the health of your teeth, cosmetic procedures address imperfections in the shape, spacing, or alignment of your teeth, or boost the brightness of your smile.
Preventive Dentistry
Of all the services that Dr. Brett R. Warn provides, preventive dentistry may be the most important. Preventive dentistry is the best way to get in front of common dental issues before they get out of hand and to ensure early diagnosis of serious dental conditions before they pose a significant health risk. Take your first step towards proactively caring for your teeth: Schedule an appointment with Premier Dental Arts in Lawton, Oklahoma today.
Do I need to come in for a semi-annual dental cleaning?
If you have already established excellent oral hygiene habits, then you’re off to a great start! That said, routine preventative maintenance is an essential part of maintaining your dental health and should not be missed.
The staff at Premier Dental Arts uses cutting-edge technology to remove all traces of plaque and tartar from not only the visible surfaces of your teeth but also the surfaces that lie just below your gumline.
Dental Implants
If you have one or more missing teeth, you may not feel like sharing your smile with the world. In the past, men and women had fewer options when it came to replacing missing teeth, and none of them offered the look and feel of healthy and natural teeth.
Today, however, Dr. Brett R. Warn can provide dental implants that give you a restoration that lasts a lifetime. Dental implants are among the most popular services that bring people to Premier Dental Arts, and the compliments they receive on their smiles are the source of many referrals.
What is the difference between preventive dental care and restorative dentistry?
Preventive dental care involves the services received during your regular check-up and cleaning appointments. X-ray imaging, a thorough examination of your mouth, and teeth cleaning services are all part of preventive dental care.
Restorative dentistry is also known as reconstructive dentistry for various tooth conditions.
- Chipped teeth.
- Cracked teeth.
- Missing teeth.
- Tooth decay.
- Severe discoloration.
Dentures
Once the preferred way to replace missing teeth, dentures remain a viable option for many people in the Lawton, Oklahoma area. At Premier Dental Arts, Dr. Brett R. Warn offers numerous denture solutions to address anything from several missing teeth to a complete set of full dentures. Missing teeth can make it hard for you to chew and speak properly, and might also cause you to feel self-conscious in social settings. Dentures offer a cost-effective solution and a chance for you to feel great about your smile.
What are the benefits of dentures over other tooth replacement options?
Today’s technology makes it possible to create custom-fit dentures that are nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth. Plus, dentures offer a fast and affordable way to restore your smile. With proper care, they can last for many years.
Partial dentures can be anchored to adjacent teeth and can be crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth. If you take care to rinse and brush them regularly and avoid biting down on hard food or using your dentures to pry open bottles or other objects, you can expect years of use out of your initial investment.
Sedation Dentistry
Fear of dental procedures keeps far too many people from seeking necessary dental services. In fact, some people are so fearful that they delay routine and preventive care until a painful dental condition forces them to visit a dentist. By that time, your fear would, in turn, result in the exact thing that you were trying to avoid – pain.
Sedation dentistry is a compassionate approach where Dr. Brett R. Warn and the rest of the staff at Premier Dental Arts have helped men and women from Lawton, Oklahoma, and beyond to get the care that they need without undue anxiety and stress.
What exactly does sedation dentistry mean?
Sedation dentistry is simply the targeted use of medications to help you relax during dental procedures. Some options may relax you to the point that you are comfortable napping during your dental work, but you can be easily awakened with a gentle squeeze or shake.
Dr. Warn is very accommodating and compassionate when working with you to address your anxiety, and he helps you decide the best sedation option for your particular set of needs.
Emergency Dentistry
Life is filled with surprises, and not all of those surprises are positive. When the unexpected occurs, Dr. Brett R. Warn and the team at Premier Dental Arts stand ready to help you through the full range of dental emergencies. If you’re in the Lawton, Oklahoma area and experience a traumatic injury that affects your teeth, the most important step is to seek emergency medical care. Once your condition is stable, reach out to Premier Dental Arts to schedule an emergency care appointment.
What should I do if I have a broken tooth?
It doesn’t take a traumatic event to break one of your teeth, although it is an experience that no one enjoys. Broken teeth can result from a sporting injury, a fall, or even unexpectedly biting down on a hard food item. If you break a tooth, it is crucial to take immediate action.
Begin by rinsing your mouth with warm water, then apply gentle pressure with a clean piece of gauze to stop any bleeding. A cold pack can help reduce pain or swelling, and over-the-counter pain relievers also can help make a broken tooth tolerable until you can get in to see Dr. Warn.
Family Dentistry
As a parent, there is nothing more important than teaching your kids to value and pursue a healthy lifestyle. Parents can give their children a strong foundation of dental health by teaching them proper hygiene and beginning a healthy dental care routine from a very young age.
At Premier Dental Arts, Dr. Brett R. Warn and his team are honored to provide dental services to families in Lawton, Oklahoma area, and beyond. Many adults come to the practice seeking individual care but are so happy with their experience that they bring the entire family in for routine, cosmetic, and emergency dental services.
What is the best way to deal with a child’s fear of the dentist?
You know that dental care is essential for your child’s health, but when a visit to the dentist turns into a source of stress, it can create stress and anxiety for everyone involved.
Dr. Warn is a parent himself and understands that kids have a specific set of needs when it comes to dental visits. He and his staff make every effort to make kids feel comfortable and welcome during appointments, to the extent that many kids even look forward to coming in for routine screenings and preventive care.
If your child is fearful of dental visits, it might help to bring them along for your next check-up or cleaning. Letting them see what a routine dental appointment looks like can remove the ‘mystery’ aspects of dental visits. This instills confidence in them, and they get convinced that there is nothing to fear in a dentist.
TMJ Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a critical role in the functioning of your jaw. When this area of your body is not functioning correctly, you may experience painful or uncomfortable symptoms that require intervention. Through his practice at Premier Dental Arts, Dr. Brett R. Warn has helped many men and women in the Lawton, Oklahoma area find relief from temporomandibular joint disorders.
What is Temporomandibular Joint Disorder?
Temporomandibular joint disorder, commonly known as TMJ, is not a single condition, but a group of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint.
This joint connects the temporal bones of your skull to your jaw. It allows for the movement that supports speech, chewing, and yawning. When this joint doesn’t function properly, several negative symptoms can follow.
