Dr. John Kinsley Saves Patients’ Teeth with Root Canals in Rocky River, OH

If one of your teeth has become infected in its root, a root canal is required to save your tooth and oral health. Without the procedure, infection can not only kill your tooth and require extraction but also spread to other parts of your mouth and jawbone.  If you are experiencing pain in one of your teeth, you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with Dr. John Kinsley in Rocky River, OH.

Teeth consist of a soft core called dental pulp, which extends from the tooth’s crown to the tip of its root in the jawbone. The dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue that can become infected if extensive decay, cracks or a tooth fracture allows bacteria in. Signs and symptoms of an infection include a hole in your tooth, swelling, the bite feeling "High", a toothache and sensitivity to hot or cold foods and liquids.

To treat an infected tooth, Dr. Kinsley will apply a local anesthetic to numb the area around the infected tooth. Then he will remove all the old filling material and decay. Using small precision technology, Dr. Kinsley removes the infected or diseased pulp and then will clean and disinfect the canals before filling and sealing them. At a subsequent appointment, the tooth will be reinforced with a bonded filling and protected by fabricating and placing a dental crown.

While the thought of a root canal may sound scary, the procedure has come a long way in recent years. Thanks to advances in anesthesia, technology and pain killers, there is minimal to no discomfort following root canal treatment. Many of Dr. Kinsley's patients are so relaxed during a root canal that they momentarily nod off to sleep. He truly feels blessed in helping patients get rid of their pain and root canal therapy is one of his favorite procedures to perform.

If you are feeling tooth pain, sensitivity to temperatures and pressure or swelling in one of your teeth, you may need root canal therapy to save your tooth from extraction.

Rocky River, Ohio Dentist, Dr. John Kinsley, Improves Smiles with Dental Implants

If you have one or multiple missing teeth or unfortunately are missing all of your teeth, you are likely to be looking for a way to replace those missing teeth. Whether they are in the front or back of your mouth, it can be frustrating to have missing teeth. The proper chewing and digestion of food, the production of speech sounds and your overall appearance can be severly compromised if you have missing teeth. Fortunately, Dr. John Kinsley in Rocky River, Ohio offers multiple ways to replace missing teeth, including the use of dental implants.

Dental implants are of a great benefit to patients because they are the most permanent ways to replace missing teeth. They involve metal posts that are carefully positioned into the jaw bone, where the bone will actually heal around the implant, holding it securely in place. If teeth are lost and not replaced, the bone begins to recede and disappear leaving large defects in one's jaw. By placing an implant, the bone is stimulated by chewing forces through "loading" thereby maintaining the level of bone and preventing it from disappearing. The implant(s) establishes a firm foundation upon which a single tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth can be attached.

Dr. Kinsley uses high quality materials to replace missing teeth. The implant itself is a titanium metal post, implanted into the jaw bone of the missing tooth. Once the post is installed, patients wait 3-4 months for the bone to permanently form around the implant.  After healing is complete, Dr. John Kinsley places a constructed, permanent crown or permanent bridge or the permanent denture over the top of the implant(s). If necessary, Dr. Kinsley can also place an immediate temporary restoration so the patient does not appear to have missing teeth.

Dr. Kinsley's Rocky River, Ohio patients love that their dental implants look, feel and work just like regular teeth. And unlike regular teeth, implants will not decay and they will never require a root canal! Patients can eat with the implanted teeth and not have to worry about them falling out!      You can even brush and floss them like your natural teeth and have them professionally cleaned. 

For over 27 years, Dr. John Kinsley has had extensive training and experience in restoring smiles with dental implants. He is uniquely qualified and specializes in restoring complex and challenging cases that other dentists might feel uncomfortable doing. If you are looking for a permanent way to replace missing teeth, ask Dr. John Kinsley about the miracles of dental implants. You will be glad you did!

Dr. John Kinsley Uses Intraoral Cameras for Improved Diagnoses in Rocky River, OH

Advancements in technology have dramatically improved the way that dentists practice, enhancing every step of dental care, from diagnosis to treatment. New technology has even improved the way that dentists view and diagnose patients’ teeth, with intraoral cameras quickly becoming an industry standard. Dr. John Kinsley uses intraoral cameras at his General and Cosmetic Dentistry in Rocky River, OH to provide his patients with dental care worth smiling about.

The intraoral camera is an effective tool for viewing a patient’s mouth and teeth from different angles, allowing the dentist to see the mouth from angles that were not available even a few years ago. The camera connects to a monitor where Dr. Kinsley can view the structures of your teeth more closely and with better accuracy than traditional methods. More views for the dentist mean there is a greater chance he will spot any problems sooner and be able to fix them before they can become more serious or painful.

These digital images also allow the patient and insurance companies to see what the doctor has seen, which lets you understand your oral health better and gain procedure acceptance from your insurance company more easily. In addition to better images, using digital intraoral cameras and digital X-rays, instead of traditional dental X-rays can limit your exposure to radiation since these methods can produce 80 percent less radiation to capture a clear image.

With Dr. John Kinsley, you know that you will receive the best dental care available in Rocky River, OH. Intraoral cameras are just one of the ways this dentist acts with his patients’ best interest in mind.

Rocky River, OH Dentist Dr. John Kinsley, Offers Veneers through Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic dentistry is a specialty offered by Dr. John Kinsley in Rocky River, OH. It allows patients to improve the appearance of their teeth and gain more confidence through procedures such as veneers and aesthetic dentistry. Veneers are a popular way to enhance the appearance of the teeth with thin ceramic shells bonded to the teeth. They are made to fit over the teeth without being noticeable to others. Patients with discoloration or staining, misshapen, gaps or spaces, or cracked teeth often choose veneers for the benefit of an improved and stronger smile.

Getting veneers in Rocky River, OH typically requires two to three visits at the dental office of    Dr. John Kinsley, DDS . It begins with preparing the tooth through contouring and shaping. This is done to make room for the veneer and allow it to fit properly. Once the tooth or teeth are ready, impression molds are made and sent to the dental lab so the veneers can be fabricated. The patient is sent home with temporary veneers which are shaped to look natural and beautiful. The veneers are made to match the same basic shape and color of the other teeth. Once they are ready, which takes about two weeks, Dr. John Kinsley removes the temporary veneers and bonds the permanent lab-made veneers to the teeth. And WOW do they look and feel GREAT!!!

Rocky River, OH patients who have veneers placed by Dr. John Kinsley DDS say that their veneers feel just like their natural teeth. Patients can eat, brush and floss their teeth as they normally could before their veneers.  Dr. Kinsley encourages patients to contact his office to find out more about getting veneers through aesthetic dentistry.

Rocky River, OH Dentist, Dr. John Kinsley Helps Patients Rest Easy With Sleep Apnea Treatments

If a full night’s sleep eludes you due to sleep apnea, Dr. John Kinsley, DDS, is here to help. Dr. Kinsley is trained in a special aspect of dentistry known as sleep dentistry. If you or a loved one suffers from sleep apnea, Dr. Kinsley can create a custom oral appliance at his Rocky River, OH office to reduce sleep apnea’s symptoms and help ensure a full night’s rest.

Sleep apnea is a medical condition that causes the tissues from the upper airway to temporarily block airflow. The result can be anything from a snore to a brief or prolonged cessation of breathing. Both occurrences are medically dangerous, as well as affect your ability or your partner to feel rested after a full night’s sleep.

If you frequently wake up from a long night’s sleep without feeling rested or a partner has told you that you snore or stop breathing when you sleep, obstructive sleep apnea could be to blame. Although only a licensed medical physician can diagnose sleep apnea, you can discuss your symptoms with Dr. Kinsley who will help guide you to obtaining proper medical and dental treatment.

Dr. Kinsley can custom-make a mouth appliance for you that advances the mandible (lower jaw) forward while you sleep. The appliance helps to keep the airway more open during sleep, decreasing the likelihood the airway will be obstructed. The results are often dramatic and life changing!

While these are not intended for use in those with more severe sleep apnea, patients with mild to moderate cases can see improvement in sleep quality and a reduction in snoring and missed breaths. At his Rocky River, OH office, Dr. Kinsley can help patients -- and their partners -- get a better night’s rest.

Toothache

The last thing anyone expects is to have a toothache. And it never comes at a convenient time. Your out of town on a business trip, a vacation, a holiday weekend or it's in the middle of the night. The pain can seem to come out of nowhere and cause debilitating symptoms that radiate throughout your mouth and jaw. The pain can cause you to stop eating normally and in some cases can even cause other problems such as swelling or headaches. The first thing you should do when you get a toothache is to seek immediate dental care with someone such as John L. Kinsley, DDS in Rocky River, Ohio. While your first instinct might be to ignore the pain, it is very likely that it will persist without treatment.

Visiting with Dr. Kinsley for a Toothache

Dr. Kinsley will perform a thorough evaluation of your tooth/teeth utilizing any necessary x-ray's, photographs and other state of the art dental technologies of your mouth when you first visit him. This will give Dr. Kinsley a good picture of what the problem hiding below the surface could be so that he can develop a plan of action. In many cases a toothache is a clue that a cavity exists or a fracture or even worse, a tooth abscess. Decay of the tooth is often caused because of build up of plaque on the tooth, or because of a crack in the tooth or even from a previous failing restoration. Though proper dental hygiene is the best way to keep cavities at bay, there are some individuals that are prone to tooth decay. Like any other disease process, early detection and treatment is always the best way to go.

When you have a toothache, don’t ignore it hoping it will just go away. The longer you wait the worse the problem will get. There are actions that Dr. Kinsley can take to help relieve the pain and stop the underlying cause of the toothache. Call us today at 440-331-8691 to learn more and to schedule an appointment. You will be happy you did!

A large percentage of Dr. Kinsley’s practice is directed towards Advanced Restorative Dentistry. This is devoted to patients whose teeth are not in the correct position either cosmetically, functionally or both.

Dr. John Kinsley Utilizes Air Abrasion to Provide Patients with Dental Care Without Shots or Drills in Rocky River, Ohio

Dr. John Kinsley is a general and cosmetic dentist in Rocky River, OH who is dedicated to providing his patients with the best dental service available, and one of the ways he does this is by using high-quality dental tools that can increase patient comfort and reduce anxiety during procedures. From using top-of-the-line technology to detect tooth decay to performing dental procedures with tools that reduce pain, Dr. Kinsley consistently puts his patients’ dental experience and oral health first.

One tool that allows the dentist to enhance his patients’ dental care is the air abrasion tool, which forgoes drills and shots. With no vibrations, friction or heat, there is no jarring of sensitive nerves or anxiety. The tool instead delivers a gentle stream of particles with forced air that removes decay quickly and gently.

Because it is quicker and does not require sedation, air abrasion allows more teeth to be worked on in one visit and with no side effects. This is much more convenient for both the dentist and the patient than traditional drills and allows you to have necessary dental work without cutting too much into your busy schedule. Additionally, air abrasion allows for more of the healthier tooth structure to be conserved when removing decay. It is also highly effective in stronger bonding procedures.

Air abrasion is only one of the ways that Dr. John Kinsley puts his patients first in Rocky River, OH. To schedule an appointment with the dentist, call 440-331-8691. For more information about Dr. Kinsley, his practice or his services, visit www.rockyriverdentist.com.

Dr. John Kinsley, DDS of Rocky River, Ohio Helps Patients Recovering from Bulimia to Restore Their Smiles

Dr. John Kinsley, DDS of Rocky River, Ohio Helps Patients Recover from Bulimia by Restoring Their Smiles

Bulimia is a very damaging condition that can hurt many aspects of a person’s life.  It impacts the emotional, mental and physical well-being of those who struggle with it. Thankfully, when taking steps towards recovery, there are plenty of resources available to aid in the healing process of those affected. Rocky River, Ohio's Dr. John Kinsley aims to help those patients recovering from Bulimia by repairing the damage done to their smiles.

The purging aspect of bulimia can do considerable damage to a patient’s tooth enamel. Enamel is the hardest substance in the body. It's main job is to protect the tooth from normal chewing function.  Enamel is typically about 1 to 2 millimeters thick. Underneath the outer-protective layer of enamel is the softer, more pourous and sensitive body of the tooth called "DENTIN". The enamel layer can wear away from such things as tooth grinding, acid erosion (soda pop, lemons and stomach acids) or both. As enamel wears, the sensitive and decay-prone dentin becomes exposed. Exposed dentin wears 8 to 10 times faster than enamel! The teeth become highly susceptible to cavities, severe wear, abcesses, fracture, tooth loss, shifting teeth, bite collapse (or overclosed-more aged look), TMJ/headache problems and periodontal gum problems.  With bulimia, the teeth are subjected to harsh corrosion due to powerful digestive acids that enter the mouth when vomiting.  Although acid from various foods and beverages is damaging to teeth, DIGESTIVE ACIDS are much more potent and corrosive.  When they regularly come in contact with the teeth, they greatly wear down the enamel, much more so than eating and drinking naturally acidic substances like citrus fruits or soda pop and sports drinks. Often the end result of frequent vomiting over time is a mouth riddled with serious problems. In some severe cases, the lacking nutrition leaves the body’s healing process weak and unable to fend against common diseases.  Some patients who have struggled with bulimia for long periods of time end up losing some or all of their teeth.

If you’re recovering from bulimia, whether it’s a problem you’ve dealt with for a short time or struggled with over a long period, Dr. Kinsley urges you to seek help from all angles.  That includes your emotional and dietary health, but also your dental health.

Dr. John Kinsley can help Rocky River, OH patients recovering from bulimia by filling cavities, treating damage to the enamel and gums, and, in severe cases, restoring and replacing teeth as needed.  Even for those patients without obvious damage to their mouth, a thorough dental examination should be completed to ensure periodontal disease isn’t present and that small, unnoticeable problems don’t escalate into painful and costly issues.

To set up an appointment for an examination, as well as restorative procedures to help in your aid in recovery, visit www.rockyriverdentist.com  or call 440-331-8691.  Dr. Kinsley is committed to providing optimal dental care to patients throughout Rocky River, Cleveland,  Bay Village, Fairview, Lakewood, Westlake, Avon Lake and surrounding Ohio neighborhoods.
