One of the first things people notice about you is your smile. With the many innovations in the field of cosmetic dentistry, Rippe Dental Associates can correct teeth imperfections and brighten your smile with beautiful, natural-looking results. 

Are you suffering from dental phobia? Fear of the dentist may seem embarrassing for some patients, but know that you are not alone. As many as 15% of the American population suffer from dental phobia, and it is a very real problem that can have a catastrophic effect on your dental health.

Implants can replace a single tooth or support a bridge, partial, or denture. Dr. Christian Rippe is happy to provide dental implants to patients in our office. Patients with implants report higher quality of life and being able to chew all kinds of foods, without difficulty.

Struggling with snoring, daytime fatigue, or poor-quality sleep? You may be experiencing symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea — a condition that causes interruptions in breathing during sleep and can affect your overall health and well-being.

A toothache, a cracked tooth, a dislodged filling or crown – these situations can disrupt life. Left alone, they will only worsen to cause more pain and damage to your oral health. In many cases, a dental crown is the treatment of choice.

One missing anterior tooth can ruin a smile, but if a tooth is lost in the back of the mouth, should you replace it? The answer is yes, without any doubt. The loss of one tooth anywhere in the mouth leaves remaining teeth responsible for more work.

Very few people, an estimated 1%, go through life without developing at least one cavity. For small to moderate cavities, a dental filling is usually the restoration of choice. Fillings are both conservative and effective.
