FAQs

1. How do I find the best place to get dental work done?

Start thinking about the treatment you need and get estimates on costs. If you are eligible for dental insurance, sort out the practices that accept the same. It is best to visit the website of a dental office to get what you are looking for. To improve your smile’s aesthetics, you can search for a practice that specializes in cosmetic dentistry. If you want to hide dental imperfections like cracks, chips, or gaps, select an office offering restorative dentistry solutions. For a comfortable and relaxing visit, always check out the dentist’s background information and latest patient reviews before getting your dental work done.

2. Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?

You are eligible for dental implant procedures if you are missing one tooth or more. When you book your consultation, expect to have a detailed assessment of your lost teeth. Our dentist will be able to determine whether you need a single-tooth implant or multiple-tooth implant. You may also be recommended All-on-4 implants to replace the entire arch to restore your smile. However, you need to have adequate bone mass for implant placement using bone grafting techniques.

3. Are there any specific dietary habits that can impact my oral health?

Yes, whatever you eat and drink plays a vital role in maintaining optimal oral health. Our dentists may advise you to limit the intake of sugary beverages and snacks to combat cavities. Additionally, you can follow a well-balanced diet to strengthen your gums and teeth. Try to include vitamins, phosphorus, and calcium while refining your dietary choices. To stimulate saliva and keep your mouth clean naturally, intake crunchy vegetables and fruits. You should also stay hydrated to reduce the risks of oral health concerns.

4. What is the best way to find a cosmetic dentist?

Many practices offer cosmetic dentistry services, and choosing the best dentist among them is not easy. You can select your cosmetic dentist by exploring the qualifications and advanced training in this specific branch of dentistry. Try to consult a practitioner who is extensively involved with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AAED) or similar organizations.

5. What should I do in case of a dental emergency?

A swift action can save your teeth from permanent loss. For knocked-out or broken teeth, the more you wait, the more the situation can go out of your hand. If you can’t visit an emergency dentist right away, pick the dislodged tooth by the edge and not the root. Try to reinsert it by applying gentle pressure. In case of a broken tooth, use only warm water to rinse your mouth. Get a clean gauze to press against the tooth if you notice excessive bleeding. Dental abscesses need urgent attention and treatment. For emergency dental care, you can call us at 702-473-5100.
