Will I
need to have X-rays?
Dental diseases can be sometimes detected through visual
and tactile examination. However, some parts of the teeth, such
as the areas facing other teeth,
as well as
the attachment apparatus of the teeth and the bone quality
cannot be properly evaluated without X-rays. They are prescribed
at different time intervals depending on a patient's age, dental
history, present dental condition, risk factors for dental
disease, and dietary consideration.
Who can benefit from Dental Veneers or Crowns?
Patients looking improve the color of their teeth, close
spaces between teeth, change the shape of their teeth or
maintain tooth structure. However, a healthy foundation is
important in the longevity, function and esthetics of these
kinds of dental restorations. Factors, such as patient current
periodontal health and occlusion all play a major role in the
outcome. A comprehensive evaluation at our practice will allow
you to understand all your treatment options and choose a dental
solution that meets your needs. Please contact us for a free
cosmetic consult.
Who can benefit from tooth whitening?
With the latest advances in professional whitening our
services are safe, easy to use and affordable. Almost anyone can
benefit from tooth whitening if they are in good oral health.
Overall, whitening can deliver phenomenal results. However,
defective restorations can leak and allow some of the whitening
agent to get under them causing sensitivity, and active
periodontal disease can be exacerbated and accelerated by the
whitening if not treated appropriately before it is done. For
these and other reasons, you should have an evaluation before
undergoing any treatment.
We'll be
happy to answer all of your questions and create a customized
Whitening tray for you.
