Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a Trial Smile?
Yes! Since you might feel hesitant about cosmetic dentistry or feel unsure about how it might turn out in the end, we offer a Smile Test Drive so you can get a clear idea of how treatment might look in the end.
Here’s how it works: We create a temporary smile by applying natural-colored materials on top of your teeth so you can visualize what your new smile will look like. Then we take pictures so you can evaluate the changes. Afterwards, you leave with the material in place so you can show your family and friends. Later the same day you just peel it off with no effects on your existing teeth. The entire process only takes 30- 60 minutes.
What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is where we identify the aspects about your smile that you’d like to improve and then perform treatment to make your dream smile a reality. This can mean repairing chipped, broken, stained or misaligned teeth. In the end, you’ll experience the life-changing joy of a breathtaking new smile.
Do you treat kids?
Yes! We believe it is crucial to instill healthy oral habits at an early age. Since we know children can feel a bit nervous about coming to the dentist, we do all we can to make sure they are comfortable throughout the entire process.
Are you open for emergency dental care?
Yes! We recognize that dental emergencies come in various forms and don’t always come at a convenient time. For that reason, we intentionally allocate time into our regular schedule to allow for emergencies that may come up.
Contact our office immediately if you experience any of the following issues:
- knocked out tooth
- bleeding from the mouth
- swelling in the gums or around the mouth
- severe pain that doesn’t lessen after taking pain reliever
Do you do tooth extractions?
Yes, we do perform tooth extractions in our office. There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be pulled, including damage from an accident, extensive infection, or a crowded mouth. The area around the extraction site will be numbed beforehand to ensure your maximum comfort. Following the procedure, you’ll want to avoid strenuous exercise, sucking through a straw, washing your mouth out vigorously, or deep cleaning the extraction site for a few days while it heals.
Do you do root canals?
Yes! When a tooth becomes infected where a root canal becomes necessary, we can treat you in our office.
About the process: A root canal is a procedure that eliminates bacteria to prevent tooth infection and decay. Our dentist removes inflamed pulp, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then fills and seals it. We make the procedure efficient and smooth, so you can get back to smiling and chewing in no time.
Do you offer Night Guards for teeth grinding?
Yes! We can create a custom night guard to help treat bruxism (nocturnal teeth grinding) and help protect your teeth.
How long does teeth whitening last?
The average teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. In most cases, people tend to see results for about one year. Things that will negatively affect your teeth whitening results include smoking, dark liquids (red wine, coffee, tea), staining foods (beetroot and berries), although consistently brushing twice a day can help.
