Dental FAQs

Top most frequently asked questions to our doctors

Gum Disease

Periodontal disease, affecting over 80% of Americans by age 45, is an infection that damages gums and the supporting bone around teeth due to plaque build-up. This condition can lead to tooth loss and may contribute to other health issues such as diabetes and heart disease.

Oral Exam

New patients receive a comprehensive examination which includes a screening for oral cancer, gum and bone disease, a review of medical history, and a clinical and radiographic examination of all the teeth. A recall oral exam is performed on established patients to determine any changes in dental and health status since the previous visit.

Root Planing

Root planing, also known as deep cleaning, is a dental procedure used to remove tartar below the gumline and smooth rough tooth root surfaces for reattachment of the gums.

Sealants

Sealants are one of the easiest preventive dental procedures that can be done. Sealing your teeth can be done in a single dental visit and is entirely painless!

Tooth Scaling

Tooth scaling is a dental procedure that effectively removes hardened tartar above the gumline, preventing dental problems like cavities and gum disease. For more advanced cases with tartar below the gumline, a deeper cleaning called scaling and root planing is performed to address periodontal issues and bone loss.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Bonding

Bonding can fix minor cosmetic dental problems such as closing small gaps between teeth, adding tooth length, or changing the overall shape of a tooth by bonding a tooth-colored composite resin to your tooth. Bonding a tooth-colored composite restoration can also restore fractured teeth. When compared to porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns, bonding is the least expensive dental procedure that can fix cosmetic dental issues.

ClearCorrect Aligners

ClearCorrect aligners - discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment. Custom-made aligners move your teeth gradually. Virtually invisible, easy to use, and predictable results. Get the smile you've always wanted.

Crowns

A crown is sometimes termed a "cap" or "jacket." A crown will restore a tooth with a large filling or a cracked tooth to its original size, shape, and tooth color. A crown may be recommended after root canal therapy has been completed, as the tooth tends to become brittle and is more likely to fracture. A crown can strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and improves the appearance of your teeth. With the advances in technology, we now have the ability to make ceramic crowns with no metal.

Fillings

A filling is a way to restore a damaged tooth back to its normal function and shape. When you get a filling, the dentist will remove the decayed material from the tooth, clean the affected area, and then fill the area with a material designed for fillings. There are many types of filling material available, ranging from gold to porcelain.
