Rocky River, OH Dentist Dr. John Kinsley Straightens Teeth The No-Show Way With Invisalign

The dilemma is a common one: You want to straighten your teeth, but you also don’t want to wear highly visible metal braces. Rocky River, OH dentist Dr. John Kinsley hears these statements quite frequently at his office. Fortunately, he offers a solution for those with mild to moderate misalignment: Invisalign clear aligners.

The problem with having crooked teeth can be much more than just an embarrassing smile. Teeth that are not aligned properly create what dentist call “malocclusion.” 74% of all American adults have malocclusion.  Left untreated, malocclusion can lead to periodontal disease due to the difficulty in cleaning crooked teeth or areas with spaces between them where food can get wedged between the teeth and gums. Poor alignment creates abnormal amounts of stress on the teeth, jaws, muscles and joints. Teeth will wear down, get loose and fracture ultimately leading to the loss of teeth.

Invisalign treatment is a breakthrough technique where Dr. Kinsley straightens your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, comfortable aligners that are custom molded to fit your teeth. The aligners are worn 22 hours per day and are removed before eating and while brushing and flossing. No more food getting stuck between the metal brackets. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of. And as an added benefit, your new straight teeth are much easier to clean!  Treatment time is specific for each patient but on average is between 6 months to one year for mild to moderate malocclusions.

Rocky River, OH Dentist John Kinsley, DDS, Detects Dental Decay with Diagnodent Laser Technology

Finding dental caries (cavities) before they have a chance to damage teeth dramatically minimizes the need for future extensive treatments as well as the risk of losing teeth due to decay. With Diagnodent, a cutting-edge laser device designed to identify cavities, pitting or fractures affecting the teeth, Rocky River, OH dentist John Kinsley, DDS, can now discover dental decay in its earliest stages and begin aggressive treatment measures to stop progression of the cavity. Additionally, oral examinations using Diagnodent means that patients will not have to experience the discomfort of sharp dental tools picking at their teeth since Diagnodent relies on painless, state-of-the-art laser technology.

It is estimated that nearly 50 percent of small cavities remain undetected by visual and traditional X-ray examination. By incorporating Diagnodent into his practice, Rocky River, OH dentist Dr. John Kinsley offers patients the advantages of receiving oral care from one of the best preventative devices ever developed by researchers in the oral health industry. Dr. Kinsley begins an examination with Diagnodent by aiming the laser at healthy tooth enamel, thus establishing a “normal benchmark” reading and then shining the Diagnodent laser on areas suspected to be prone to decay. Information provided by the laser is electronically evaluated and converted to an acoustic warning signal accompanied by a digital number displayed on the computer monitor. When certain wavelengths are emitted, numerical readings between 10 and 100 are provided to Dr. Kinsley, who then determines whether the enamel is structurally healthy or is softening and developing into an actual cavity.

Detecting pits in enamel between teeth with Diagnodent before they become visible prevents the spread of bacterial biofilm responsible for tooth decay and gingivitis. Upon finding compromised areas with the Diagnodent laser, Rocky River, OH dentist Dr. John Kinsley may apply bonding or white filling material to repair and protect enamel from further damage. When cavities are large or decay is extensive, enamel-colored fillings are generally not applicable due to the magnitude of the cavity. Dental crowns may be necessary or even extraction if the tooth is beyond the point of restoration. Diagnodent can help both children and adults avoid lengthy dental treatments by providing Dr. Kinsley with detailed information concerning the most concealed areas of each tooth.

Dr. John Kinsley Provides Superior Dental Diagnosis with Digital X-rays in Rocky River, OHIO

Advancements in technology have dramatically improved the dental industry over the years, enhancing every step of dental care, from diagnosis to treatment. New technology has even improved how dentists X-ray patients’ teeth and the supporting jaw bone, with digital X-rays quickly becoming the industry standard. Dr. John Kinsley uses digital radiography to provide top-of-the-line dental care to his patients in Rocky River, OH.

Digital X-rays are taken in a similar manner to traditional dental X-rays that use film. However, instead of using film, X-ray images are captured by a digital sensor, rather than by film, placed in the patient’s mouth. This sensor is connected to an imagining program on a computer that projects the image for easy viewing, which allows the dentists to view the structures of your teeth and bone more closely and with better accuracy than traditional dental X-rays. Better images for your dentist mean there is a greater chance that he will spot any problems sooner and fix them before they can become more serious or painful.

In addition to clearer images, digital X-rays also produce up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional dental X-rays. This is because the digital sensor is much more sensitive to radiation than film, so less is needed to form an accurate image. While traditional X-rays are considered safe by professionals, those who receive X-rays frequently or who are concerned about radiation will feel more comfortable with digital radiography.

With Dr. John Kinsley, you know that you will receive the best dental care available in Rocky River, Ohio. Digital X-rays are just one of the ways this dentist acts with his patients’ best interest in mind. Schedule an appointment by calling 440-331-8691.

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.

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. For an evaluation of your symptoms, schedule an appointment in Rocky River, OH by calling 440-333-1335. For more information about Dr. John Kinsley and his services, visitwww.rockyriverdentist.com.

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.
