FAQ

Many of our patients get beautifully bright results with our professional whitening treatments. We offer both in-office and at-home options, both of which provide better results than products sold in drugstores. Some discoloration doesn’t respond well to whitening. If that’s the case for your smile, we can cover stubborn stains with dental veneers or a bonding treatment. We can explain all of your options and help you select the one that will work best for you during a free consultation.

If you are needing to straighten your teeth, most doctors will tell you that you have two options: traditional metal braces or a clear option. Invisalign clear aligners will allow you to complete your orthodontic work quicker, more comfortably, and without anyone at work knowing what is going on. So in essence, yes, Invisalign is superior to traditional braces in more ways than one. Call us today to find out if you would benefit from clear aligner treatment.

Yes, it is safe to visit the dentist during the COVID pandemic. We have taken precautions above and beyond the norm, which you can read about on our COVID-19 protocol page. Our staff understands why you might be nervous, especially if you are in a high-risk category. Don’t hesitate to give us a call to ask questions and get the information you need to feel confident in your safety before visiting the office.

Yes, we certainly do. We proudly offer the Invisalign treatment for our orthodontic care. It is an innovative system that uses clear plastic teeth aligners instead of metal brackets, wires, and bands. Patients love that the aligners are discreet and can straighten their teeth in as few as 12 months. The aligners are also easy to remove for eating, brushing, or a special occasion.

A popping jaw is a sign that there is an issue with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). We often call this TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). Basically it means that there is some strain or injury on your jaw joint, which opens and closes your mouth literally thousands of times each day. It is important that you do not ignore this sign. If we can treat your jaw now, it may prevent a more painful situation in the months to come. Call us today to learn more about your TMJ and how to keep it healthy.

If you’re one of the many people with numerous smile flaws, a cosmetic makeover may be the answer. Our cosmetic makeover procedure uses both cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry in a completely personalized plan to address all your smile needs. We can also tailor the timing of treatments to fit your schedule and budget.

We’re happy to offer Invisalign clear dental aligners for people who want straight teeth but hate the idea of having a mouthful of metal. Invisalign is approved to treat many orthodontic conditions in adults and teens. However, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with our office to know whether Invisalign is right for your needs.

Constant, loud snoring – the kind that keeps bed partners awake all night – is a common symptom of sleep apnea. This is a sleep disorder in which someone can stop breathing hundreds of times every night. For people with obstructive sleep apnea, the snoring gets worse as their airways slowly become blocked.

Our doctors can make a special oral appliance, which looks similar to an athletic mouthguard, that can change the position of your jaw. This can keep your airways open so you snore less, breathe easier, and get deep, healthy sleep.

We don’t just do teeth – we can ensure a healthy smile from the gums up with gum disease treatment options. Depending on your situation, we can remove inflamed gum tissue using state-of-the-art dental lasers. For more severe cases, we will perform a gentle surgery in-house.

Dental implants are small metal posts that your dentist will insert into your jawbone in places where your teeth are missing. After a healing and fusing period, your implants will be ready to support new replacement teeth. With new teeth, you’ll smile more confidently, be able to enjoy all your favorite foods, and keep your jawbone as healthy as possible.

Conventional dentures cost less than dental implant dentures. However, some of the benefits of implants may make it worth the added cost. For instance, dental implants will keep you from suffering the bone loss that causes your jaw to shrink, giving you an older appearance and making it more difficult to keep your dentures in place. They can also last a lifetime.
