When it comes to restoring damaged teeth, the best solution depends on the size and location of the problem. At Pollard Dental in Silverdale, WA, we’re proud to offer advanced restorative options like crowns and onlays to ensure your smile looks and functions at its best. But what’s the difference between the two? Let’s take a closer look at these two popular treatments and how to decide which one might be right for you.
As we welcome another new year, have you thought about the role your smile plays in your overall well-being? For many of us, resolutions focus on health, but oral care often gets left out of the picture. Yet, your oral health impacts far more than just your teeth—it’s also connected to your confidence, comfort, and even your overall wellness.
When we aren’t feeling well or experience complications with our oral health, medication can help us feel better and improve our condition. When we learn about side effects from our doctor or pharmacist, they typically tell us how they will affect our overall health. You may be surprised to learn that prescription and over-the-counter medications can affect your oral health as well. We want to raise awareness of the fact that many medications can significantly impact the future of your oral health.
We want to help our patients achieve optimal oral health. However, patients often have certain habits that can affect their teeth and gums. This can lead to problems with decay and gum disease and cause dental emergencies. While some habits are obvious, others may be unexpected. We want to share three of the most common habits that patients are unaware can affect their oral health. Read on to learn if you have any of these habits.
We are loving that the summer season is starting in a few short days! We cannot wait to relax and enjoy all that summer has to offer. We love the long, bright days and the warm weather. We want to encourage you to continue to care for your teeth and oral health this summer. Failure to do so can lead to serious complications with your oral health. Here are some helpful tips to follow:
We are thankful to live in a time where you can improve any imperfections in your smile that make you unhappy. If you are self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth or you are looking to restore their function, we offer a number of cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments that can bring about any change you may need.

Are you due for an oral hygiene examination or need to schedule a recommended treatment, but you have been delaying due to nerves or anxiety?

Your feelings become a problem when they keep you from receiving dental treatment.
Do you want to upgrade your smile before an upcoming event? The spring and summer are popular times for special events like weddings, graduations, vacations, reunions, and more. We have the perfect treatment that will have you ready to smile brightly for your upcoming event: teeth whitening. This treatment can improve years of staining on the teeth in just a short time. Read on to learn more about this popular cosmetic treatment and the importance of choosing professional whitening.
Making every effort to support healthy teeth and gums is crucial. At Pollard Dental, we do all we can to help our patients achieve this by performing routine oral hygiene examinations and dental treatments as necessary. It is important for patients to do their part as well: cleaning their teeth at home and making wise food choices. Your diet plays a large part in the state of your oral health. We want to share some healthy food and beverage options that promote excellent oral health.
Were you or a loved one recommended a treatment during a recent visit to our office but haven’t yet made an appointment? If so, we encourage you to call today to schedule your appointment. We know that life is busy, between work, school, sports, family obligations, and other activities, but it is important to make your oral health a priority.
