In Big Sky Country, oral health is just as important as a good pair of boots. Painful or missing teeth can make it nearly impossible to chomp down on a bison burger, or enjoy one of the state’s famous huckleberry pies. What’s more, poor oral health can lead to health problems ranging from gum disease to heart failure! Think about it this way—not maintaining your oral health now is like not filling up your tank before driving on the I-90. Ignoring your teeth will lead to series issues down the line. So, contact your dentist today to learn how you can maintain your teeth daily to keep them strong and healthy for life.

For a bright, healthy smile, you need to clear the bad stuff out of the way. Brushing and flossing daily is the best thing you can do for maintaining your smile for life, and it just takes a few minutes! For more impact, use mouthwash, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, and, of course, schedule a visit with your dentist at least twice per year.

    Who is Dr. Blake Sherwood DMD?
    view full bio

    Dr. Blake Sherwood has always felt that giving back to his community was of the utmost importance. While attending Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Sherwood earned a scholarship from the U.S. Air Force that gave him the opportunity to receive advanced dental training and give back to his country. After graduating with honors, Dr. Sherwood went to Maxwell Air Force Base to complete officer training, then completed a one-year dental residency program at Barksdale AFB. During this time he was trained in orthodontics, laser surgery techniques, oral sleep appliance therapy, CBCT implementation, same-day crown delivery, bone graft placement and management, implant placement and restoration, periodontal surgery, clear-tray aligner orthodontics, Invisalign, and moderate sedation techniques.

    Dr. Sherwood also spent time at Whiteman AFB where he worked with an Air Force dental team that taught him the importance of patient safety and comfort. He carries those lessons with him to this day, using them as the foundation for his own practice. Today, Dr. Sherwood enjoys treating patients in the Plains area and getting involved with his community.

What is a dental crown?

g

Dental crowns or caps restore the shape, size, and functionality of teeth after they have been damaged, and they offer protection from future damage. Dental crowns are a ideal options for restoring damaged teeth and are a standard of care offered at a restorative dentist. When a tooth is defective or damaged, we always hope that it can heal on its own. Unfortunately, teeth do not grow or heal or restore damaged enamel. However, your family dentist can restore a tooth with the help of a dental crown. Dental crowns are an aesthetic treatment which can protect a weak tooth from fracture or even infection, restore a damaged tooth structure, cover a dental implant, and stabilize a dental bridge in place, and they provide a natural appearance. Dental crown can recreate the shape and function of a tooth damaged by tooth decay or trauma. A dental crown is a full coverage cap that surrounds the tooth. A crown can also be used to improve the cosmetics of a smile. A crown can consist of different materials. All-metal, ceramic-on-metal, and all-ceramic are a few of these. The location of the crown in the teeth used to determine the best material to use. For example, front teeth needed to have an all-ceramic crown, if possible, since it looks the most natural. Patients may often had used ceramic-on-metal crowns since they appear natural but had the strength that only metal could provide., however, with the rise in popularity of very durable all ceramic crowns, there is little need for crowns that include metal in them. When getting a dental crown or a dental bridge installed, it is recommended that you work with a cosmetic dentist near you that has enough experience in cosmetic crowns.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
