The old x-rays only provided a 2D image of the bones and teeth. With cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), a 3D image is created of the bones, teeth, soft tissues and nerves. The cone-shaped beam takes hundreds of scans of the mouth structure as it curves around the jaw to create a realistic 3D image. - [Home](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/): You deserve to love your smile and have exceptional dental care to keep it healthy and beautiful.

Sitemap | Privacy Policy | Accessibility - [Children’s Dentistry](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/pediatric-dentistry/): Most children should have dental checkups and cleanings every six months to maintain healthy smiles. Regular checkups can detect tooth decay and other dental problems early to minimize damage and reduce treatment costs, and routine cleanings can help prevent oral health issues. Dental insurance covers most preventive dental care visits and Hollon & Taylor Dental accepts many forms of dental insurance. - [Teeth Sealing](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/dental-sealants/): Teeth sealing is a treatment that covers the back molars in a plastic coating. This thin sealant protects the molars from tooth decay by filling in the small crevices on the teeth where food debris and bacteria can hide. The sealant slowly will wear off and is safe when ingested over time. - [Services](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/services/): From routine dental care to specialized services to replace missing teeth or improve your smile’s appearance, visit us at Hollon & Taylor Dental. We have invested in advanced dental equipment and imaging to perform a wide selection of dental services at our office. Our team provides personalized dental care for every patient, making you feel like a VIP whenever you come to our office. - [Fluoride Treatments](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/fluoride-treatments/): Fluoride can help repair weakened enamel to prevent tooth decay. While fluoride is available in oral hygiene products and some tap water, fluoride treatments for kids can ensure they get enough to protect their teeth. The treatment only takes a few minutes – a fluoride gel is placed in dental trays and applied to the teeth. To ensure the fluoride is well absorbed, no drinking or eating should occur for at least 30 minutes after the treatment. - [Treatment for Gum Disease](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/periodontal-disease-gingivitis/): During checkups and dental cleanings, our dental hygienists and dentists look for the tell-tale signs of gingivitis and gum disease. In the early stages, gum disease can be reversed with treatment. Even in the later stages, treatment for gum disease can stop the deteriorating of the gums and bone to prevent tooth loss. - [Receding Gum Treatment](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/receding-gums/): The best way to combat infected gums or gingivitis is with improved oral hygiene. Brushing twice a day and flossing at least once are important for routine oral health, but you may need professional receding gum treatment. Our dental team can begin with a thorough periodontal exam and cleaning. This can remove the tartar from the teeth to allow the gums to heal. Some patients may be prescribed a medicated mouthwash or other treatments to help combat the gum infection and restore better gum health. Deep cleanings may also be recommended for more severe cases of gingivitis or gum disease. - [General Dentistry](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/general-dentistry/): Everyday Dental Care for Your Smile A healthy, beautiful smile begins with routine dental care. From brushing and flossing at home to your annual checkups and bi-annual dental cleanings, preventive and routine oral care is a key component to maintaining your smile.

New Patients & Emergency Appointments Welcome! Request Appointment 251-342-5664 - [Root Canal Therapy](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/root-canal-therapy/): Root canals are one of the only ways to save an infected tooth. If a root canal is not performed, the tooth likely will die or need extraction. The process for completing root canal therapy has been drastically improved over the years. In the past, it was common for root canals to require 2-3 visits to perform the complete procedure. Now, root canals can be completed in as little as one appointment. Once the nerve roots are removed, the pain from the infected tooth is stopped immediately. At Hollon Dental, we can often complete the entire procedure and even place the dental crown the same day. - [Oral Cancer Screening](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/oral-cancer-screening/): Oral cavity cancers cause an estimated 10,000 deaths each year in the U.S., and over 50,000 are diagnosed with this disease annually. The highest occurrence is in people over 55 years of age – about 80% of cases are in this group, but 20% of people are younger than 55. The most common places for oral cancer to occur are on the tongue, gums, floor of the mouth, tonsils and oropharynx. Mouth cancer can also occur in the lips and salivary glands. - [Dental Deep Cleaning](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/scaling-and-root-planing/): Dental cleanings are crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. While at-home oral hygiene is also important, there are some places that cannot be reached or get missed with a toothbrush and floss. The only way to remove tartar that forms on teeth is with specialized dental tools, which is vital for preventing and treating gum disease. At Hollon Dental, we offer dental deep cleaning services, including scaling and root planing, at our clinic in Mobile, Alabama. - [Sedation Dentistry](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/sedation-dentistry/): For those with moderate to higher levels of dental anxiety, oral conscious sedation may be recommended. This form of sedation dentistry uses an oral medication that is given before the dental appointment to help put patients into a very relaxed state. While patients will still be awake and conscious, they are comfortably sedated and often not aware of what is happening during their dental treatment. It is common for patients not to remember their dental treatment after the effects of the medication wears off. - [Nightguard for Bruxism – Teeth Grinding](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/dental-nightguards/): A nightguard or mouthguard can help with a few different oral health disorders. For bruxism, or teeth grinding, it separates the upper and lower teeth to keep them from rubbing against each other while you sleep. This can protect your teeth from wear or damage from bruxism at night. Nightguards can also help those who snore or have sleep apnea or TMJ/TMD, especially when customized to fit correctly. - [Sleep Apnea Treatment](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/sleep-apnea-treatment/): Using a dental nightguard for sleep apnea treatment can have other benefits. Nightguards are used for snoring and teeth grinding (bruxism) treatment. We use 3D digital imaging to create a “mold” of your teeth, and then your nightguard is created in a dental lab. Wearing it while you sleep can keep your airway open for relief from snoring and sleep apnea, helping you and others get a restful night of sleep. Plus, the nightguard protects your teeth and eliminates damage caused by teeth grinding, or bruxism. - [Halitosis Treatment](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/halitosis-treatment/): Halitosis treatment depends on the cause of the bad breath odor. Our dental team can begin with a thorough periodontal exam and dental cleaning. Often, bad breath is due to bacteria in tartar on the teeth or an infection in the gum tissue (gingivitis or periodontitis). Sometimes it only takes a professional dental cleaning to stop the bad breath odor. If there is gingivitis or gum disease, treatment for these issues can stop the bad breath symptoms. - [TMJ & TMD Treatment](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/tmj-treatment/): If you want relief from jaw and facial pain, as well as other symptoms of TMD, come see us at Hollon Dental. Dr. Hollon or Dr. Forehand can perform a comprehensive exam and recommend the best treatment for your TMJ condition. For some patients, this could include repairing dental issues that are putting pressure on the jaw joint. Replacing missing teeth can realign the teeth and jaw for relief. For others, a customized dental nightguard may offer relief. Wearing a nightguard can stop teeth grinding, or bruxism, that can aggravate the jaw joint and cause TMJ symptoms. - [Dental Crowns](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/dental-crowns/): A dental crown is a protective covering for a tooth. Also called “caps,” dental crowns fit over the tooth and are bonded into place to restore the tooth function and appearance. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, from metals like silver and gold to ceramic or porcelain. In the past, a physical mold was made of the tooth and then sent to a dental lab to create the dental crown. Now, there are more efficient options available to create dental crowns the same day, without the uncomfortable mold process. - [Tooth Extractions](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/tooth-extractions/): Whether it is a severely damaged tooth that needs to be removed or a wisdom tooth that is causing problems, you can trust our team at Hollon Dental to perform a careful and gentle tooth extraction. Your dentist and support staff will thoroughly explain the procedure and what to expect so you feel at ease. Most tooth extractions can be completed in a short time – once the tooth is numbed, the procedure may only take a few minutes. Once the tooth is out, our team will ensure that the site is properly disinfected and packed to help it heal quickly. - [Emergency Dentistry](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/emergency-dentistry/): There are times when you cannot wait until your next dental checkup to see your dentist. A sudden toothache or an oral injury may require immediate dental care. At Hollon Dental, we understand that urgent dental care needs occur, and we want to be here for you when you need emergency dentistry. If you or a family member need emergency dental care in Mobile, AL, call us first – we may be able to see you the same day. - [Dental Inlays and Onlays](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/dental-inlays-onlays/): Dental fillings repair a tooth by replacing lost tooth material with resin or amalgam that is placed into the crack, cavity or chip, molding the material to the tooth. Inlays and onlays also replace tooth material and protect the tooth, but they are made to fit on and over the tooth in a dental lab. Most inlays and onlays are made from porcelain materials that are color-matched to the tooth to blend perfectly with the patient’s smile. - [Tooth Pain Relief](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/tooth-pain-relief/): Tooth pain is usually caused by injury, decay or infection. Tooth surface issues often cause no pain as they do not impact the nerve – you may have tooth sensitivity if you have a surface cavity or a chip in your enamel. Most tooth pain indicates a problem deeper in the tooth; decay may have found its way into the dentin near the tooth nerve roots. A tooth infection or abscess can cause severe tooth pain. - [Teeth Bonding](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/dental-bonding/): Cosmetic Dental Bonding for Smile Repair Adhesive or dental bonding is a method of repairing or reshaping teeth using dental resin materials. Teeth bonding is most commonly used for minor repairs to chipped teeth or to cosmetically change the appearance of a patient’s smile. At Hollon Dental, we offer teeth bonding as one of the options for tooth repairs and general dentistry at our clinic in Mobile, AL. Chipped teeth are usually not painful, but they can pose an aesthetic concern and present a risk for other dental problems. The missing enamel can expose the softer dentin of the tooth that is more susceptible to tooth decay. Teeth bonding is a quick way to repair chipped teeth and restore the protection and appearance of the tooth. The process is quick – the surface of the tooth is prepared by etching the surface and applying a conditioning liquid to allow for easier bonding adhesion. A composite resin is applied to the chip or crack and molded into the desired shape. A special light is used to cure and harden the resin, then the surface is polished to make it smooth. The entire process takes less than an hour in most cases. Cosmetic Dental Bonding Not all teeth bonding treatments are for repairs. Cosmetic dental bonding is an affordable and quick option for changing the shape or appearance of teeth. Cosmetic dental bonding uses composite resin that is color-matched to the tooth to create the desired appearance. Many of the same cosmetic alterations can be made as porcelain veneers for improving the look of your smile. Some of the cosmetic changes that can be accomplished with cosmetic dental bonding include: Closing gaps between the teeth Hiding discolorations or stains Extending the length or width of teeth Creating even teeth Teeth bonding is one of the many dental treatments we offer at Hollon Dental to repair or correct tooth issues. Whether you want to repair a cracked or chipped tooth, or you want to fix aesthetic tooth issues, dental bonding may be a solution. To learn more about teeth bonding, contact us at our office in Mobile, AL, and schedule an appointment. Frequently Asked Questions What is dental bonding?Dental bonding is a cosmetic and restorative dental procedure that uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. It improves both the appearance and function of your teeth. What dental problems can bonding fix?Dental bonding can be used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps, reshape uneven teeth, cover stains, and protect exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. Is dental bonding painful?Dental bonding is usually painless and does not require anesthesia unless the bonding is used to fill a cavity or repair deeper damage. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. How long does dental bonding last?Dental bonding typically lasts 3 to 10 years with proper oral hygiene and routine dental visits. Avoiding habits like nail biting and chewing hard objects helps extend the life of bonding. How long does a dental bonding procedure take?Most dental bonding treatments can be completed in one visit and usually take 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. What is dental bonding made of?Dental bonding uses a composite resin material that is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking result. Is dental bonding better than veneers?Dental bonding is more affordable and less invasive than veneers, making it ideal for minor cosmetic repairs. Veneers are better for more extensive cosmetic changes and long-term durability. Does dental bonding stain over time?Yes, bonding material can stain over time from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. Regular cleanings and good oral hygiene help maintain its appearance. Dental CARE New Patients & Emergency Appointments Welcome! 251-342-5664 Request Appointment - [Cleanings & Checkups](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/cleanings-checkups/): One of the best ways to keep your smile healthy is with preventive dental care, starting with cleanings and checkups. At Hollon Dental, we like to see our patients every year for checkups to perform a comprehensive dental exam, and usually twice a year for dental cleanings. These preventive dental care visits can help reduce tooth decay, gum disease and serious oral health issues, extending the lifespan of your smile and saving money on dental repairs. - [Wisdom Teeth Removal](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/wisdom-teeth-removal/): If you or your child needs wisdom teeth removed, it does not need to be a stressful or painful procedure. Our team at Hollon Dental are experienced professionals that carefully plan every oral surgery and use the latest dental technology to prepare for the procedure. We also offer sedation dentistry to help patients relax while their wisdom tooth or teeth are removed. Nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation can be used to put the patient into a comfortable state-of-mind, and local anesthesia is used to numb the teeth for a painless procedure. - [Accessibility](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/accessibility/): If you have trouble seeing web pages - [Privacy Policy](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/privacy-policy/): In order to receive information about your Personal Data, the purposes and the parties the Data is shared with, contact the Owner. - [Chipped Tooth Repair](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/chipped-tooth-repair/): Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body, even tougher than bone, but it can still be damaged. Impact to the teeth in an accident or sports injury can chip, crack or break teeth; even biting down on a hard item like a popcorn kernel can chip a tooth. At Hollon & Taylor Dental, we offer advanced general dentistry treatments for cracked, broken and chipped tooth repair at our dental center in Mobile, AL. - [CEREC Veneers](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/cerec-veneers/): Veneers can be made from porcelain or ceramic materials to look like natural teeth. With CEREC veneers, thin shells of ceramic or porcelain are created from 3D digital impressions of the teeth. At Hollon Dental, we are CEREC experts. Our dentist can scan your teeth with our CEREC 3D scanner and design the new look for your smile. The design is sent to the 3D printer, which creates quality veneers in our office. Once the new veneers are completed, they can be bonded to your teeth to create your new smile. - [Reviews](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/reviews/): Patient Reviews & Testimonials Hear directly from our patients about their experiences and the care they’ve received. These testimonials reflect our commitment to comfort, quality, and building lasting relationships with every smile we serve. New Patients & Emergency Appointments Welcome! Book Online (251) 342-5664 - [CEREC Same Day Bridges](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/cerec-same-day-bridges/): CEREC technology uses both 3D imaging, computerized design and a 3D dental printer to create tooth restoration on-site. The 3D scanner can create impressions of the affected teeth, which are precise. The scan only takes a few minutes and is much more comfortable than the physical tooth mold used in the past. Once the 3D scan is complete, our restorative dentist can design a dental bridge to fit the adjacent teeth and replace the missing tooth or teeth. The design is digitally sent to the on-site 3D dental printer to create a beautiful ceramic dental bridge that is color-matched to the rest of your smile. - [CEREC Same Day Dentistry](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/cerec-same-day-dentistry/): CEREC same day dentistry options have revolutionized how dental restorations are completed. No longer do you need 2-3 appointments over a few weeks to get a tooth crowned or new veneers put in place. CEREC is dental technology from Sirona Dental Systems that stands for Chairside Economical Restorations Esthetics Ceramic. The process is completed chairside in the dental office to create economical restorations with beautiful aesthetics from ceramic material. - [Same Day Dentistry](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/mobile-al/same-day-dentistry/): Scheduling your dental visits in advance is ideal to ensure you stay on track with your preventive oral health care. However, not everyone is able to schedule weeks or months in advance for their dental appointments. Whether your schedule changes frequently with your job or you have kids that keep you running from dawn to dusk, you may need help getting your dental visits accomplished. Our team at Hollon & Taylor Dental leaves room in our schedule to handle dental emergencies and urgent dental care issues. If we do not have a dental emergency, we may be able to see patients the same day for less urgent issues like checkups, cleanings, tooth repairs and even cosmetic dentistry services. - [How We Are Different](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/how-we-are-different/): Why Hollon & Taylor Dental Life at Hollon & Taylor Dental A culture built on strong values and a connected, lively community—both in-person and online.

While our local medical facilities in the Port City are top-tier for trauma and illness, they typically lack the specialized equipment and staff needed to address dental problems. Most ER doctors are trained to manage symptoms by prescribing antibiotics or pain relievers, but they rarely have the tools to perform an extraction or a root canal. This often leaves you with a temporary patch, a hefty bill, and a directive to find a dentist the next morning anyway. - [Why Should Adults Consider Hollon & Taylor Dental for “Masked” Periodontal Disease?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/masked-periodontal-disease/): Healthy-looking teeth often provide a false sense of security, leading many adults to believe their oral health is in perfect shape while a quiet infection brews beneath the gum line. This phenomenon, often referred to as "masked" periodontal disease, occurs when the outward signs of gum trouble—such as redness or swelling—are suppressed or absent. This is particularly common among smokers or individuals with high levels of fibrous tissue, in which the typical inflammatory response is dampened. By the time discomfort actually starts, the bone supporting the teeth may already be compromised. Catching these subtle shifts requires a level of clinical scrutiny that goes beyond a quick look in the bathroom mirror. - [Top Reasons to ‘Power Up’ Your Toothbrush](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/top-reasons-to-power-up-your-toothbrush/): When it comes to brushing your teeth, you’ve got two basic tool options to choose from. While many patients are content with the traditional manual toothbrush, there are electric versions available as well for those patients who want to “power up” their tooth brushing game. Going electric with your toothbrush isn’t required or even recommended for every patient. It all depends on your oral health needs, personal preference and budget. However, there are some specific benefits to be gained for certain individuals. - [Reasons to Feel Good About Getting a Dental Crown](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/reasons-to-feel-good-about-getting-a-dental-crown/): While crowns often represent royalty and fame, they aren’t considered as favorably when it comes to your teeth. However, just like the decorated crowns that are adorned on your head, dental crowns can also be a mark of restoration and beauty for your smile – especially if you are trying to recover from a damaged tooth. - [Can Your Dentist Help Your Headaches?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/can-your-dentist-help-your-headaches/): Do you suffer from migraines or chronic tension headaches? While it is common to look at your diet, hormones or allergies to determine the cause of your frequent head pain, the culprit may be related to your dental health. Many patients that fail to find relief from chronic headaches discover their dentist to be the final solution. - [Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/are-porcelain-veneers-right-for-you/): You may know cosmetic dental veneers as something celebrities get to achieve a perfect smile for Hollywood. However, you should know that the same veneers that are available to your favorite movie stars are also available to you. In fact, porcelain veneers are one of the most popular treatments in modern cosmetic dentistry. They can make drastic and even life-changing improvements to your smile in minimal time. - [Five Things You Need to Know About Dentures](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/five-things-you-need-to-know-about-dentures/): While teeth are designed to last a lifetime, not all of us are fortunate enough of to retain our natural smile as we age. Just because you’ve lost permanent teeth, doesn’t mean you can’t have a confident smile to grow old with. Dentures are an excellent, time-tested solution to replace a full arch of missing teeth. Here are five quick facts to understand about dentures to get the most out of your restorative dentistry investment: - [Understanding TMD](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/understanding-tmd/): TMD refers to the disorder or dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), or jaw joint, which is located on either side of your skull. The TMJ has big responsibilities on a daily basis, as this joint is what allows you to open and close your mouth and speak, yawn and eat comfortably. When the jaw joint suffers damage or strain, however, the symptoms can present themselves in very disruptive ways. Headaches, ear pain and jaw pain may be solved by a skilled TMJ dentist who understands temporomandibular joint disorder. - [How 3D Imaging Improves Dental Implants](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/how-3d-imaging-improves-dental-implants/): When it comes to restoring your smile after missing teeth, dental implants are best. While dental implants carry an exemplary success rate on their own, the procedure can be more accurate, comfortable and successful with 3D technology. In fact, 3D guided dental implant surgery takes implant dentistry to the next level for both patient and dentist. - [Why Root Canals are Heroic, Not Horrific](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/why-root-canals-are-heroic-not-horrific/): Root canal therapy is the treatment of choice for patients who have a severely infected or decaying tooth. This involves situations in which the inner portion of the tooth has been damaged or compromised in some way. Unfortunately, the central tooth pulp is the area where the sensitive nerves reside. Therefore, patients can be in excruciating pain when an infection has penetrated this sensitive area of the tooth. To bring you out of pain and save your infected tooth, an endodontic procedure called a root canal is typically recommended. - [How Will My Dentist Fix My Chipped Tooth?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/how-will-my-dentist-fix-my-chipped-tooth/): Your tooth enamel makes up the hardest, strongest and most mineralized substance in your entire body. However, teeth are not invincible. A tooth that is chipped, cracked or broken can be an aesthetic threat as well as a source of discomfort. Whether you have suffered a mouth trauma during sports or bit down on something too hard at dinner, there a variety of ways to repair your cracked or chipped tooth so that it looks, feels and functions like it did before. - [The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/the-benefits-of-implant-supported-dentures/): Deciding how to replace your missing teeth is a major decision. In fact, choosing the wrong option can greatly impact your quality of life and even compromise your oral health. Dentures are an excellent way to replace a full row of missing teeth, but there are many styles and options to choose from. - [Got a Cavity? Say No to Flashy Fillings!](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/got-a-cavity-say-no-to-flashy-fillings/): Are you looking for an alternative to metal fillings? In the past, these silver (amalgam) fillings were the most common means of repairing tooth decay. However, modern dentists now offer a more cosmetically pleasing solution. With the use of tooth-colored composite resin, no one ever has to know you had a cavity filled! - [Reasons to Consider Sedation Dentistry](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/reasons-to-consider-sedation-dentistry/): Not everyone enjoys going to the dentist. However, there are some people who flat out fear the dentist. Dental phobia is not only a very real condition, but it is also more common than you may think. In fact, according to a Dental Products Report, “one-third of the U.S. population avoids going to the dentist because of dental anxiety or fear.” - [When Bad Breath is Persistent](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/when-bad-breath-is-persistent/): Do you avoid close encounters due to chronic bad breath that will not go away, even with brushing and mouthwash? Halitosis refers to persistent bad breath that can’t be blamed on the garlic bread you just ate. In fact, halitosis can be a warning sign of other oral health issues. At Hollon Dental, we understand how embarrassing this condition can be, but we also know that it should not be ignored. We treat your bad breath by addressing the underlying causes, helping you feel more confident in social interactions and keep a healthy smile. - [Ask Us About Teeth Cleaning!](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/ask-us-about-teeth-cleaning/): Cleaning your teeth is really a non-negotiable task, especially if you plan on keeping them. However, there is a difference between cleaning them at home and letting a dentist perform a professional cleaning (also known as a dental prophylaxis). Here are some FAQ’s about teeth cleaning so that you can gain a better understanding of why it is important to do both: - [Is it Time for New Dentures?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/is-it-time-for-new-dentures/): Although modern dentures are fabricated remarkably well, every dental prosthetic has a certain lifespan. If you received traditional or partial dentures several years (or decades) ago, they may not fit, feel or look the way they used to. Beyond normal wear and tear, your dentures can also change due to bone loss in your jaw. - [The Truth About Jaw Pain](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/the-truth-about-jaw-pain/): Your jaw joint, also called the TMJ, is more important than you think. Located on both sides of your face, these sliding hinge joints not only connect your lower jaw to your skull, but they also allow you to open and close your mouth. Problems or dysfunction with your TMJ can therefore trigger pain, chewing difficulties and more. - [When to See a Dentist for Your Sleep Disorder](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/when-to-see-a-dentist-for-your-sleep-disorder/): How are you sleeping? Do you find yourself drowsy and irritable during the day? Does your partner complain of your snoring? When it comes to sleep, quality matters. In fact, one of the most disruptive sleep conditions is sleep apnea, which causes several pauses in breathing throughout the night. Unfortunately, this rarely goes unscathed during the day. Untreated sleep apnea can wreak havoc on your overall health, including heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke. - [Cosmetic Dental Bonding: An Easy Smile Makeover](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/cosmetic-dental-bonding-an-easy-smile-makeover/): Enhancing the appearance of your smile doesn’t have to involve lengthy or expensive procedures in cosmetic dentistry. In fact, dental bonding is one of the most conservative and affordable solutions available, yet it can bring dramatic improvements to your smile. - [4 Ways to Reduce Your Risk of Gum Disease](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/4-ways-to-reduce-your-risk-of-gum-disease/): The leading cause of tooth loss is gum disease. Periodontal, or gum, disease affects an estimated 50% or more of adults over 30 years of age. It is not only an oral health problem – gum disease also increases risk of serious health conditions like type 2 diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular disease. Gum disease does not occur overnight, as it is a progressive disease that worsens over time. The good news is that periodontal disease can be prevented or treated to slow or stop the progression. Here are four ways to reduce your risk of gum disease for improved oral and overall health. - [Are All-on-4 Dental Implants Right for You?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/are-all-on-4-dental-implants-right-for-you/): You may have seen advertisements for hybrid denture options that offer a natural-looking smile with dental implants. There have been many denture-dental implant combinations used over the years to offer the support of implants to secure dentures in place, but each has its own pros and cons. All-on-4 dental implants are one of the latest innovations, which combines a hybrid denture with only four dental implants to hold it permanently in place. At Hollon Dental, we are excited to offer this option to our patients; but is it right for you? - [Advantages of CEREC Dental Technology](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/advantages-of-cerec-dental-technology/): For many decades, most dental restorations were made at a dental laboratory. Dentists took impressions of the teeth, usually with a physical mold, and sent the tooth impression to the lab to be created. Dental crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays and bridges were commonly made in the dental lab, requiring two weeks or more to be finished and returned to the dental office. CEREC dental technology has changed this process, allowing dentists to make many of these components in their office. Here are some of the advantages of CEREC dental technology and why we use it at Hollon Dental. - [What Gum Are You Chewing?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/what-gum-are-you-chewing/): Although many people like to chew gum, everyone knows that chewing gum can cause cavities. Or does it? The ADA (American Dental Association) now has a safety seal for certain sugarless gums that have been shown to be actually beneficial to teeth. Some gums can reduce plaque acids, promote remineralization of tooth enamel, reduce cavities and/or reduce gingivitis. To earn the ADA Seal of Acceptance, studies must also show that the gum is safe to oral tissues according to results of both laboratory studies and clinical studies in humans. - [Oral Health – the Gateway to Overall Health?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/oral-health-the-gateway-to-overall-health/): Many people have no idea how oral health relates to a person’s overall health. The truth is, not only does poor oral health cause problems in the mouth, but it can also contribute to serious illnesses like cardiovascular disease and problems in pregnancy such as premature birth and low birth weight. And it can also be worsened by conditions such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Robin Hollon encourages all his patients to be diligent in their daily oral care and to make sure they are receiving the regular checkups they need to maintain good oral health. We encourage you to call us or check out our website for the dental services we offer. - [Why Dental Implants?](https://www.mobilealdentist.com/why-dental-implants/): At Hollon Dental, we want you to be as informed as possible when you choose our dental implants services.
