Q / A
Oral Hygiene
Q: My gums bleed when I brush my teeth. Should I be worried?
A: You should schedule an appointment with your hygienist, as you might need a cleaning. It might also be wise to see your dentist as gum bleeding could also be a symptom of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Q: Are electric toothbrushes better then manual?
A: It would depend on what kind of a “brusher” you are. If you’re following a good oral hygiene and see your hygienist regularly, a manual toothbrush should be sufficient. If you think that you r oral hygiene needs improvement, then upgrading to an electric toothbrush might be a good idea.
Invisalign
Q: Do I have to wear braces to fill the spaces between my teeth?
A: Invisalign (aligners) could fill the gaps. We can have major alignments done with our invisalign technique. Your dental professional can determine if you are viable candidate for Invisalign.
Crowns and Fillings
Q: My back teeth have a lot of silver and gold. Is there a less obvious way to fill cavities?
A: New advances in tooth-colored porcelain and composite materials not only allow fillings to go unnoticed, but are stronger and more wear-resistant than silver and gold.
Bleaching
Q: What is Zoom!
A: Zoom! Is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.
Q: Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
A: Almost anyone. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. Your dental professional can determine if you are viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade assessment.
Veneers
Q: What are veneers?
A: Porcelain shields that are bonded to the front of your teeth to create dramatic change in your smile.
Q: How do I know if Veneers are right for me?
A: Schedule a consultation with your dentist, who can show you how your smile can be improved with veneers.
