Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend having your teeth cleaned at least every six months, if not more often. Regular teeth cleanings and checkups prevent gum disease, and allows us to spot potential problems before they become serious.

Although it is fairly common for gums to bleed a little when brushing, this can indicate the beginning stages of gum disease. If the disease progresses, it can lead to the recession of the gums and possible tooth loss as well. Schedule an appointment with us immediately if gum bleeding persists or gets worse.

Cosmetic dentistry can do everything from whitening your teeth to completely reshaping your smile. If there is anything you wish to change about the appearance of your teeth, chances are cosmetic dentistry can help.

Whether you are missing one tooth or a number of teeth, our dentists can help you find the restoration that is right for you. A popular form of tooth replacement is the dental implant procedure, which involves the surgical placement of a titanium post, then the placement of a naturally looking replacement tooth or crown. Dentures can also be fabricated to replace missing teeth. Our dentists will gladly meet with you to discuss the best treatment option for you.

At our dental office, we offer take-home bleach teeth whitening kits. However, if tooth whitening is not an option in your particular case, you may be a better candidate for obtaining a whiter smile via cosmetic dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or porcelain crowns. Ask our dentists for more information.

The cost of cosmetic dental treatment varies from procedure to procedure. While many cosmetic treatments, such as tooth whitening, are relatively inexpensive, more involved procedures, such as porcelain restorations and porcelain veneers, incur higher costs but tend to produce longer-lasting, highly attractive results.
