PGA Center for Advanced Dentistry uses high definition 3D CT scans for implant diagnosis and treatment planning.  CT scans offer an in depth 3D view of your teeth and jaws identifying surrounding vital structures not detectable with traditional x-rays.  This allows us to more predictably and precisely place and restore dental implants for tooth replacement and dental reconstruction.  3D imaging requires less radiation than traditional x-rays and is rapidly becoming the standard of care in implant dentistry.

Complete scans are performed right in our office and take only 19 seconds. For more information call our office at: (561) 627-8666 or read more about it on our website:  http://www.pgadentistry.com/dental-ct-scan.html

Do you experience discomfort or a sharp pain when you breathe icy air, when you sip hot, cold, or sweet beverages, or eat foods with extreme temperature?  Even when brushing your teeth? You could have sensitive teeth which can put a damper on the most pleasurable things in life.

What can you do? Dr. Ajmo at PGA Center for Advanced Dentistry recommends you to:

• Always visit us for a diagnosis and treatment options.
• Use a toothpaste specially formulated for sensitive teeth.  It take two weeks before the full effect is evident.
• Rinse with a fluoride-based mouthrinse that contains potassium nitrate to reduce sensitivity.

Don’t endure sensitivity symptoms, call Dr. Ajmo to visit our office in Palm Beach Gardens at: (561) 627-8666

Whether your gum disease is stopped, slowed, or gets worse depends a great deal on how well you care for your teeth and gums every day, from this point forward. Please call Dr Ajmo’s office at PGA Center for advanced Dentistry.

At PGA Center for Advanced Dentistry we recommend:

• Brush your teeth twice a day (with a fluoride toothpaste).
• Floss regularly to remove plaque from between teeth. Or use a device such as a special brush or wooden or plastic pick recommended by a dental professional.
• Visit the dentist routinely for a check-up and professional cleaning.
• Don’t smoke
• Call Dr Ajmo’s office to get regular cleaning appointments with our hygienists  at (561)627-8666

People usually don’t show signs of gum disease until they are in their 30s or 40s.  Men are more likely to have gum disease than women.  Although teenagers rarely develop periodontitis, they can develop gingivitis, the milder form of gum disease.  Most commonly, gum disease develops when plaque is allowed to build up along and under the gum line. Please call PGA Center for Advanced Dentistry and we can help guide you to a healthier smile and mouth.

Fluoride is a natural element that can be found in many things, like the water we drink and the food we eat. Decades ago, scientists began to notice that children who lived in places where fluoride occurred naturally in the water, had fewer dental cavities. Fluoride that is absorbed by your body is used by the cells that build your teeth to make stronger enamel. Topical fluoride – fluoride that is applied to the outside of the enamel – makes the crystals that form enamel more durable. Tooth enamel crystals that have fluoride are much more resistant to acid. They are less likely to breakdown and cause the tooth surface to become porous

This is why here at our Palm Beach Gardens office, Dr. Jay Ajmo and his hygienists always recommend fluoride treatment for our patients.  Call us or ask Sarah or Jen on your next hygiene appointment if you could benefit from fluoride treatment.  See you soon!

Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. Dental veneers are made from porcelain materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains and mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. At PGA Center for Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Ajmo takes pride in creating custom smiles for his patients. Contact us at (561) 627-8666 to set up a no charge consultation today!

Veneers are routinely used to fix:

• Teeth that are discolored — either because of root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth
• Teeth that are worn down
• Teeth that are chipped or broken
• Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
• Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

Dr. Jay Ajmo can help you get back the healthy, natural smile you are used to with dental implants.For many years, the only treatment options available for people with missing teeth were bridges and dentures. But, today, dental implants are available. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. dental Implants provide a strong foundation to support a permanent resoration such as a crown, bridge or denture that are made to match your natural teeth.Dental Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
