Highlands Ranch Dentists

Our new dental practice video

With with addition of Highlands Ranch dentist Dr. Sarah Parson….. Dr.’s James and Candace DeLapp had produced a new dental practice video describing their Family dental practice in the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree areas of Colorado. Technology whether in video or dentistry is continually improving and our knowledge base expands as we speak.  One of our recent Blog articles was on Stem Cells found in teeth  may hold the future of Regenerative Medicine.  Basically the thought is… a stem cell has the genetic information to produce any type of cell in the body.  Research into new disease treatment is expanding. We just do not know where this ultimately will lead medicine.  For most of us “old guys” we do not have any viable stem cells.  For children and young adults thee are possibilities.  Baby teeth with “most” of the root left or in young adults “wisdom teeth” may be a source of stem cells.

Highlands Ranch Free teeth whitening for life

Our Highlands Ranch dentist is offering free whitening for life.  The “catch ” is you need to keep your 6-months appointment and not miss.  The idea is to reward patients who have regular check ups… get their teeth cleaned and have necessary x-rays and treatment.  Healthy teeth have a chance of whitening… unhealthy teeth and gums do not! Then when you need more whitening solutions for your custom trays we can provide you these for your whitening re-touch.

Highlands Ranch Cosmetic Dentistry Artistry Dental Continuing Education

The basic premise of Dr. Vanini presentation is to understand the importance of color and incorporate these in the artist’s palette to try to replicate nature as best we can. In this course Dr. DeLapp will be developing the skill to understand the five dimensions of color and how to stratify these when building a tooth out of a composite filling material. Building a full tooth with composite material is a direct Dental veneer. Changing a tooth with porcealain is termed an in-direct dental veneer.  It is important to know how to deliver both types of cosmetic dental procedures.

Nearly invisible tooth filling margins

Making a filling material blend with the natural tooth structure is something our Highlands Ranch and Denver dentists work on and strive to improve on a daily basis. Dr. Vanini will be presenting new techniques that we hope will improve the services we deliver to our patients from our Highlands Ranch dental office.

Replacing old worn out silver dental fillings by our Highlands Ranch Dentists

Old silver dental fillings frequently have decay (cavities) under these old fillings. The combination of silver and mercury are combined together to form this amalgam filling material. In time… these “silver dental fillings” wear and corrode away allowing bacterial to percolate underneath the filling. Highlands Ranch Dentists Dr. James DeLapp andDr. H. Candace DeLapp have many different solutions to this problem.   If left unattended… these cavities under old silver filling could cause substantial additional dental problems.

The most common dental solution for replacing old worn out silver fillings

Newer more esthetic dental material are available. These materials include but are not limited to:

• Composite or white dental filling material
