Affordable Dentist Services That Keep Your Smile Healthy and Bright
Few people love taking time away from work or relaxation to visit the dentist. There are probably plenty of things you would rather spend your time doing. But like most people, you probably already know that taking excellent care of your oral health is the key to having a beautiful smile and healthy teeth and gums. If finding affordable dental care is important to you, Dr. Colby Echols and the team at Swan Dental may have exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Prevention
The best way to have healthy teeth and gums is to stay on top of keeping your teeth clean. There’s an old saying that insists, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and in no scenario is that truer than when it comes to oral health. Taking good care of your teeth so that you seldom have a dental problem will pay huge dividends, both in money and health.
If you can prevent issues like gum disease and cavities from happening, you’re ahead of the dental care game. Good oral hygiene at home and regular dental checkups with your dentists are a good start toward preventing problems down the road.
Dental Cleanings
Dr. Echols agrees with most dental professionals that patients in good oral health should have a checkup and dental cleaning every six months. Patients with advanced dental problems or gum disease may need to visit the dentist more frequently. Brushing and flossing at home are important, but a dentist needs to clean plaque from difficult-to-reach areas in your mouth. Also, if you have tartar, only your dentist can address this issue.
General Dentistry
General dentistry focuses on the basics. This means that with a general dentist, you are in good hands for handling your oral hygiene and preventing dental problems. General dentistry can also encompass restoring a lost tooth, providing emergency care, and treating gum disease.

Restoration
It’s important to replace missing teeth. Not only does a gap in your smile affect your appearance, but a missing tooth can cause other problematic issues. For example, bone loss can occur. Also, gum disease and decay in neighboring teeth are more likely if you have lost a tooth.
Restoration might mean replacing an entire tooth with a dental implant. However, restoration also refers to anything that can save your tooth and/or functionality. This might be root canal therapy, crowns, fillings, and dental bridges.
Cosmetic Dentistry
No matter how solid your oral hygiene routine is, there may be flaws in your smile you would like to fix. If this is the case, Dr. Echols may suggest any of these cosmetic dentistry solutions, depending on your unique situation:
