Frequently Asked Questions
What sets
us apart from other dental offices?
We love what we do. Our personal
relationships with our patients motivate
us to focus on the overall health and
happiness of the patient, not just their
oral hygiene. We use only the latest and
most effective procedures for the best
quality care you can find.
How do I tell if I have Gum Disease?
Only a thorough dental exam including
pocket probing will be able to tell you
if you have gum disease. Bleeding, red,
and sometimes swollen gums are usually
initial signs that the disease may be
present.
Do I really need to floss? How often should
I be flossing?
Flossing is very important to clean
between the teeth. This should be done
at least
once a day to help prevent decay and gum
disease.
What can I do about discolored and stained
teeth?
There are many options to brighten your
smile. Whitening, bonding, and veneers
are just a few. Set up a consultation
for your own personalized treatment
plan.
What are porcelain veneers and how can they
help enhance my smile?
Porcelain veneers are very thin wafers
of porcelain that are bonded to the
front of your teeth. They can be used to
perform instant orthodontics, closing
spaces as well as brightening your
smile.
Can dental implants help me?
Dental implants are the new state-of-art
way to replace missing teeth. They can
also be used to secure loose dentures
and partial plates. Many people shy away
from implant treatment because they fear
it may be too painful. In actuality, most
people say the implant phase of
treatment was the easiest part.
