Hi! I'm Harley. No matter how good your oral hygiene is, there will probably come a time in your life when you need dentures or cosmetic dentistry. For me, it was earlier than most. In elementary school (unfortunately after I had lost my baby teeth), I was playing tetherball during recess. My hand-eye coordination has always been horrible, and in this case it caused me to miss the ball--which then proceeded to hit me in the head at full speed. It knocked me over, and when my chin hit the pavement, I lost three front teeth. Needless to say, I have since had teeth implants and a really good relationship with my dentist. So I started this site to show that things like the dentist, dentures, and implants are all normal things! I hope you enjoy learning about them.

Shrinkage can occur elsewhere in the body, and it can even affect parts of your body that you weren't in fact born with. How is it possible for your dental fillings to shrink?
