Dr. Matt Rolfson Recognized by 5280 Magazine's Top Dentists

Congratulations again to Dr. Matt Rolfson, a prominent dentist in Castle Rock, for receiving accolades from 5280 Magazine! He has been recognized for the 4th year running as one of Denver's Top Dentists

Taken from the 5280 website:
This list is excerpted from the topDentists list, a database created from peer evaluations that includes listings for more than 500 dentists and specialists in Colorado alone. To compile this list, topDentists asked dentists and specialists a personal question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer him or her to?” The nomination pool consisted of all dentists listed online with the American Dental Association. Respondents were asked to consider experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and results. Once responses were compiled, dentists were checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing.

Sports Mouthguards--Not Just For Kids!

Football. Biking. Clenching while running. Street hockey. Baseball. A mouthguard can help protect you.

With summer sports and activities in full swing, we want to make sure that you are fully prepared and protected with mouth guards. Without a mouthguard, you are more easily susceptible to an injury of the lips, tongue, and soft tissue of the mouth. This protective guard can prevent chipped or broken teeth, nerve damage to the tooth, and even tooth loss! Mouth guards can also limit the risk of mouth-related injuries during contact sports so that you can have a fun and safe time doing what you love. Keep in mind that just because you don't play contact sports does not mean that you might not benefit from a guard--we see many biking-related tooth injuries! Even clenching during activities can cause chipped teeth or gum discomfort. At Castle Pines Dental Care, we provide custom-fitted sports mouthguards at a competitive price. If you would like to have greater protection than the store-bought mouthguard can provide, we'd be happy to consult with you on your specific needs! Call us to learn more about how mouthguards can be an important addition to your game or activity! Castle Pines Dental Care Dr. Matthew Rolfson, DDS 303-660-0782

Does Your Bite REALLY Matter? Absolutely It Does!

You may wonder, “Does my bite really need to be corrected or adjusted?”  There is much confusion within the dental profession concerning the need for bite adjustments, and unfortunately even more confusion about the approach a dentist takes to correct a bite.

How your teeth fit together when you close or chew is one of the most important factors of whether your teeth and jaw muscles are comfortable or uncomfortable.  Have you ever gotten a piece of popcorn stuck between your teeth or a raspberry seed stuck on the biting surface?  If you don’t remove it, your tooth gets sore, and in time, your jaw muscles do too as they try to avoid biting on the sore tooth.  If left too long, headaches can even occur. 

Just as removal of the kernel or seed results in almost immediate return to comfort, correction of a “high” restoration or misaligned teeth contacts can result in the same improved comfort.
Many times, patients will approach us thinking that they have a cavity when, in fact, their bite is off! Teeth can complain of an uneven bite by manifesting symptoms identical to a plain, old toothache: cold/hot sensitivity, pain with pressure, etc.

It is not difficult for Dr. Rolfson to determine if there is a problem with your bite.  In fact, it will be obvious that your bite is not even by determining if clenching your teeth with your mouth empty causes discomfort or pain in any tooth, jaw joints or muscular pain in your face.
Deciding on the most appropriate treatment for a bite problem requires very careful analysis--and if it's beyond our capacity to help you here at Castle Pines Dental Care, we have a plethora of trusted specialists which would treat you with great care.

Having your bite perfected not only results in comfort, but can also be the difference in whether your teeth wear out, break off, or get loose.  A perfected, even bite is the best insurance for keeping your teeth as long as you need them.

Call us today if you feel like your bite may need an adjustment--it is painless, easy, and the benefits of an adjusted bite have far-reaching effects in your comfort!
