Explore our frequently asked questions to find answers to common inquiries about our dental services, treatments, and patient care. We've compiled this helpful resource to provide you with valuable information and address any concerns you may have.
01.What should I do in case of a dental emergency?
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, such as severe tooth pain or a knocked-out tooth, it's crucial to contact our office immediately. We prioritize dental emergencies and will provide you with prompt care and guidance.
02.Whats are Dental Implants?
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts which protrude through the gums are then attached to the implants. These posts provide stable anchors for your General Dentist to reconstruct your bite with artificial replacement teeth. If you have a denture, it can be connected to implants to improve stability and function. Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
03.What options do I have for replacing missing teeth?
We provide several options for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Each option has its own benefits and considerations, and we will guide you in choosing the best solution based on your specific needs and oral health condition.
04.How long does a smile makeover procedure usually take?
The duration of a smile makeover depends on the complexity of the case and the treatments involved. While some cases may require multiple visits over several weeks, others can be completed in a shorter timeframe. During your consultation, we will discuss the anticipated timeline for your specific smile makeover plan.
05.Are invisible aligners a suitable option for correcting misaligned teeth?
Yes, invisible aligners are an excellent option for correcting mild to moderate teeth misalignment. These clear, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions without the need for traditional braces. We will evaluate your teeth and provide a personalized treatment plan based on your alignment needs.
06.How can I maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems?
To maintain good oral health, it's essential to practice proper oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental check-ups. Additionally, following a balanced diet, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and avoiding tobacco use can significantly contribute to your oral health.
07.Does dental treatment cause pain?
Our priority is to ensure your comfort throughout any dental treatment. We utilize advanced techniques and modern anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Most procedures are virtually painless, and we take every measure to create a relaxed and gentle environment for our patients. We will address any concerns you may have and ensure that you feel comfortable and at ease during your dental visit.
