Cosmetic Dentistry Dates Back 2000 Years!!!

Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular and mainstream in recent years. With all of the various ways to get a sparkling Hollywood smile that are available today, it is hard to believe that over two thousand years ago another culture was performing cosmetic procedures.

The Mayan culture was extremely sophisticated, with it's own written language, history and traditions. The peak of the Mayan culture was 300-900 AD. This is when historians began to see the first cosmetic dentistry performed. Naturally the Mayans did not have the technology to do the procedures that would normally come to mind, such as bleaching and porcelain veneers. Instead, they would prepare the teeth and cement on natural materials such as turquoise, quartz, jadeite, iron pyrites, and hematite. They used some methods similar to what dentist today use to place veneers, but they did all of their procedures without any local anesthesia or modern instruments. Ouch! At least today our number one concern is your safety and comfort. So, why not take advantage of this and come in for your Complimentary Cosmetic Consultation.

Don't Let Sensitive Teeth Control What You Eat!!

Many people suffer from sensitive teeth, causing them pain when they eat hot foods, or have a cold drink. Sensitivity can be caused by many different factors, such as, brushing too hard, recession of the gums, cracked teeth, gum disease, grinding teeth, or plaque.

There are many things that you can do at home to help ease the pain of sensitivity: maintain good oral hygiene, by making sure to clean your entire mouth thoroughly. Use a soft bristled toothbrush, with desensitizing toothpaste. Watch what foods you eat, avoiding eating the foods that are high in acid. Use products, such as toothpaste and mouthwash that are high in fluoride, as this helps decrease hypersensitivity. If non of this makes the impact you are hoping for, make sure to call your dentist to review the different options to help alleviate the problem. Your teeth can be desensitized without drilling. Eat the foods you want without pain!

The “Denture” Years by Dr. Charles Barotz

No matter how often you brushed your teeth while growing-up and growing older, dental problems catch-up with all of us as we age. As discouraging as it may be, gum disease, tooth loss, dentures, dental implants and jaw bone deterioration are all common occurrences for people who are entering their Golden Years. And while these things can’t be avoided, they can be corrected.

Fortunately, the dental profession has made incredible advancements during the past few years that are eliminating the pain, embarrassment and overall dissatisfaction seniors often experience when it comes to their dental health. The days of uncomfortable, poor fitting dentures are gone, as are the problems associated with deteriorating jaw bones and gum disease. The key is making sure you’re finding the right solution for your dental health problems.

While there are a number of corrective dentistry options available to seniors, the advancements taking place with dentures and tooth implants are proving to be two of the best options modern dentistry has to offer:

The 21st Century Denture
One of the most common complaints from denture wearers is the "false teeth" look, causing them to be self conscious about their dentures. This complaint is usually accompanied by shortcomings in the ability to chew and the overall discomfort they experience. Fortunately, major advancements have been made in the craftsmanship of dentures and today dentures are designed and handcrafted specifically to complement a person’s age, sex, physical appearance and even their personality. Dentures can be customized by dentists today in the same way a tailor customizes a new suit.

For example, when looking at someone with a beautiful smile comprised entirely of their natural teeth, one will notice that each tooth is not precisely aligned with its neighboring teeth. Instead, the placement of the teeth varies slightly to create a beautiful and natural smile line. Modern dentures account for this natural irregularity by handsetting teeth in dentures to make sure this same “look” occurs in the denture. This eliminates the “piano key” appearance denture wearers despise.

In addition to appearance, dentures are also being designed to improve chewing function. Because they’re specifically customized to perfectly fit a person’s mouth and jaw structure, chewing food is no longer a struggle.


The Implant Option
Even with the advancements with dentures, they may not be suitable – or necessary – for everyone. For many years, people who lost their teeth had only one choice for replacing them: dentures. Many denture wearers chose false teeth because they wanted to put an end to their tooth problems. They didn't realize that a whole new set of problems were beginning. Poor fitting dentures can cause pain during eating leading to poor nutrition. Dentures can cause additional problems, which can be intensified if they do not fit well. Long-term denture wearers can lose jawbone which causes the classic collapsed, wrinkled face common to many denture wearers.

For the first time, the replacement for missing teeth can be as strong or stronger than the original. Like teeth, dental implants are embedded in the jawbone. The bone actually bonds to the implants. This allows the teeth to be replaced without placing any pressure on the gums, thus eliminating the pain normally associated with dentures. Using dental implants, the upper teeth can be replaced without covering the roof of the mouth. By exposing the roof of the mouth, the former denture wearer can enjoy the subtle tastes and textures of food and drink that they have been missing out on for so many years.


For seniors who are struggling with their dental health, there are many new options and advancements in dental care they should be considering. Now’s as good a time as ever to see your dentist!

Dr. Charles S. Barotz started Barotz Dental in Denver more than 20 years ago. He is continually educating himself and his staff with the newest dental techniques and approaches, in order to provide his patients with advanced, state of the art, comfortable, personalized, and antiseptic dental care.

Imagine this…a trip to the dentist leaves you so pampered and peaceful, that going back to work seems too much to bear. Far fetched? Not for Dr. Charles Barotz, a prominent Cosmetic Dentist practicing in downtown Denver. “We give our patients a true dental spa experience. With luxuries ranging from fresh baked cookies, to foot massages, to virtual reality glasses, we’ve taken the old clichés out of dentistry,” he explains.

And although you will indeed feel spoiled after a trip to Dr. Barotz, the focus of his practice goes far beyond relaxation. Dr. Barotz, who has been creating dazzling smiles for more than 25 years, is dedicated to the art of cosmetic dentistry. “Good cosmetic dentistry looks like nothing more than a healthy, naturally beautiful smile, and achieving such a look is an art form,” Dr. Barotz reveals. “Every patient deserves a smile that makes them feel confident. Yet many people aren’t blessed with great teeth. Taking a step like cosmetic dentistry has a profound impact on a patient’s life. And that’s what we’re all about,” he finished.

With thousands of hours of continuing education under his belt, Dr. Barotz has mastered his art. The well known dentist, whose lush practice caters to adults and their dental needs, is up on the latest trends and technologies and offers Coloradoans the most innovative approaches in dentistry. From a run of the mill crown to porcelain veneers and whitening, to complex cases involving tooth replacement with dental implants. Dr. Barotz offers it all. “We are a full service practice. Because our dentists are skilled in all aspects of the field, we don’t have to refer certain work to other specialists. This is rare in dentistry, and a definite assert to our patients,” he says.

Another of Dr. Barotz’ finely honed skills is listing. “We don’t believe in sitting our patients down and talking in dental jargon while we tell them what they need. Instead, we ask what they wish to achieve through cosmetic dentistry and help them find the best and most comprehensive way to achieve their goals,” says Dr. Barotz.

Whether it is the access to the most up-to-date dental care, or the artistically designed grin you’ll leave with, or the aroma of homemade cookies or relaxing massage, Dr. Barotz will give you a reason to smile – and to come back for more.

Is What You Are Drinking Eating Away Your Teeth?

Did you know that Arizona Tea in the bottle is three times more aggressive on your teeth than regular Coke or Pepsi? Many of the carbonated beverages that you drink cause long-term enamel dissolution. For those of you who think that soda is the only liquid that is bad for your teeth, you thought wrong. Amazingly enough, Rootbeer causes no destruction to the tooth. Now, this doesn’t mean no sodas cause destruction to your teeth. Mountain Dew is five times more aggressive than Coke or Pepsi and remember Arizona Tea in a can is three times more aggressive. So if you must drink carbonated drinks, Rootbeer is the way to go!

You Will Affect Much More Than Your Teeth If you Neglect Your Gums!!

Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss your teeth? Have you noticed spaces in your teeth or receding of your gum line? If you suffer from any of these symptoms, you have periodontal problems that need to be evaluated and treated immediately. Long term effects of this can not only affect your image but can cause severe health problems; especially if you are already at risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, lung problems and osteoporosis. Expecting mothers have to be extremely cautious as well. If gum disease goes untreated it is six times more likely to cause premature births. Your mouth is considered the gateway for germs getting through to your respiratory system. By breathing in the bacteria that exists with gum disease, it is possible to contract diseases such as pneumonia. To prevent this, it is important to get your teeth cleaned regularly, and to practice good home care. Flossing once a day, brushing on a regular basis, and using a good fluoride mouth rinse will help prevent periodontal disease. Here at Barotz Dental, we want to help you avoid these problems. If you already suffer from gum disease, then you need to treat and monitor it! Call and schedule for your next cleaning and exam, and prepay for the appointment, and we will give you a FREE fluoride treatment (a $30 value). But hurry, this special offer only lasts until April 15th! Call us today schedule your appointment at 303-595-4994!
