The Importance of Post-Operative Care

November 29, 2012

When you have dental work done, the care doesn’t stop at the chair. Oftentimes, there are special care instructions, known as post-operative instructions, that you’ll need to follow immediately after the procedure to ensure you don’t undo the good work that was just done.

The helpful post-operative instructions you’ll receive from Robison Dental Group in Canton will help guide you through the recovery period and ensure your teeth remain healthy. Sometime they’re tips about sensations you may be feeling, and sometimes they’re specific tasks, such as  brushing your teeth a certain way. Either way, they’re an important resource.

After your treatment, our trained staff will go over any restrictions or special instructions you’ll need to follow. You can also find a list of our post-operative instructions on our website for reference.  There you’ll find instructions for numerous procedures, including crown and bridges, deep teeth cleaning, dentures, extractions, fillings, root canals, implants and gum surgery.

It is very important to follow the instructions carefully. After spending the time and effort to undergo these procedures, you don’t want to do something that could potentially negatively impact them.

If you have any additional questions after your treatment, feel free to call our Canton office! Our doctors are here to help with any questions or concerns you may have. At Robison Dental Group we’re committed to providing quality oral care to our patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland and Plymouth!

Overcome Sleep Apnea and Snoring with Non-Surgical Relief

September 28, 2012

If you routinely go through your day feeling like you haven’t slept a wink, sleep apnea could be the reason why. Sleep apnea is a common but under-diagnosed condition in which patients stop breathing for 10 seconds or more during sleep. As a result, patients with sleep apnea wake up periodically throughout the night to take a breath, and sometimes without even know it.

Symptoms of sleep apnea include:

 

  • Daytime drowsiness
  • Stress
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Memory loss
  • Fatigue
  • Accidents at home, at work, or behind the wheel

But one of the most common symptoms of all is something you might never have thought of: snoring. Sleep apnea and snoring often go hand-in-hand because they’re both caused by obstructed airways. As a result, if you can treat obstructive sleep apnea, you can also treat snoring.

Effective Treatment from Robison Dental Group

If you struggle with snoring and sleep apnea, our doctors at Robison Dental Group have an effective, non-surgical therapy that can help. With a custom-made intraoral appliance, Dr. John and J.D. Robison can help you reposition your jaw, leaving your important airways open while you sleep. As a result, you can finally get the rest you deserve so you can feel great in the morning.

Do you struggle with sleep apnea? Has your partner complained about your snoring? Call our Canton dental office today to schedule your consultation appointment. Our entire team at Robison Dental Group would be happy to assess your health and recommend a treatment plan.

We serve patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

Restore Your Smile’s Functionality and Appearance with Full-Mouth Makeover

July 31, 2012

At Robison Dental Group, we offer great restorative dentistry services to help our patients from Canton and beyond improve the appearance and functionality of their smiles. But for some patients, it may take more than one service to completely restore what’s been lost. That’s why Dr. John Robison and Dr. J.D. Robison also offer a service known as full-mouth reconstruction.

What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

That question can’t be answered simply. After all, every patient has different needs, which means that every full-mouth reconstruction we complete will be a bit different. Regardless of the specifics, though, each full-mouth reconstruction draws from general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry to create a beautiful, functional smile.

Your full-mouth reconstruction could include services like:

  • Crowns and fillings
  • Bridgework
  • Partial and full dentures
  • Dental implants, and more

Your doctor will work closely with you to create a treatment plan that achieves the results you’ve been looking for.

Want to find out more about any of these services? Take a look around our website or give our Canton office a call. We’d be happy to schedule a consultation visit for you. Consultation visits are important because they give your doctor a chance to get to know exactly what your needs are.

Call us today. We serve patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

 

TMJ Headache Prevention from Robison Dental Group

July 25, 2012

If you have trouble with chronic headaches, you might be surprised to learn that your pain and your smile could be linked. The same is also true for patients who have problems chewing, or who experience frequent ear pain, dizziness, or clicking and popping in the jaw joint. All of these are symptoms of a problem known as TMJ dysfunction.

What Is TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJ dysfunction can be cause by a misaligned bite but it can also be caused by stressed. Whatever the exact cause is, the result is the same—painful symptoms that can make everyday life difficult.

That’s why Robison Dental Group offers TMJ headache prevention as a service. Using the latest in neuromuscular technology, we can diagnose your condition and design a personalized treatment that will help you neutralize your symptoms and take back your life again.

An oral appliance is one of the most effective solutions for treating headaches cause by TMJ dysfunction, but it’s not the only one. Our doctors will work closely with you to determine which method for treating TMJ headaches is the one that’s most right for you, with the result that you can finally face your life again.

Are you ready to take on your painful symptoms? Dr. John Robison and Dr. J.D. Robison are ready to help. Call our Canton dental office today to schedule your consultation appointment. Our office gladly serves patients from Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

 

General and Family Dentistry from Robison Dental Group

March 27, 2012

If you’ve been looking for a dental office that can help you with care for your whole family, look no further than Robison Dental Group in Canton. Our doctors are committed to personalized care that helps every member of the family, regardless of age. After all, that’s what true family dentistry is all about.

Personalized Care from a Modern Dental Office

The best way for us to deliver this kind of dedicated care is through regular checkups and cleanings. That way, our doctors can address any needs you might have in a timely manner.

We recommend coming in for a checkup about once every six months. That may sound like it’s pretty often, but it’s important. By coming in that often, we’re able to keep a sharper eye out for gum disease, tooth decay, TMJ-dysfunction, bruxism, and even oral cancer.

To help us deliver quality, modern care, we use a wide range of contemporary tools. Two of the most important are DIAGNOdent, which helps us identify cavities early, and VELscope, which we use to screen patients for oral cancer. Both are comfortable for patients and effective for helping us make diagnoses and plan treatments. You can find out more about how each works by visiting their respective links.
