What is the recommended frequency for dental check-ups and cleanings?

We recommend scheduling a routine dental check-up and cleaning every six months to maintain optimal oral health.

What is the difference between dental crowns and dental fillings?

Dental crowns are used to cover and protect a severely damaged tooth, while fillings are typically used to repair smaller cavities and restore tooth structure.

How do dental implants work, and are they a permanent solution for missing teeth?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. With proper care, they can provide a long-lasting and often permanent solution for missing teeth.

What is the process for getting veneers, and what issues can they address?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells customized to improve the appearance of teeth with stains, chips, or minor misalignment. The process involves minimal tooth reduction and provides a natural-looking, durable result.

When is bone grafting necessary before dental implant placement?

Bone grafting is required when a patient has insufficient bone density in the jaw to support dental implants. It helps strengthen the jawbone for successful implant placement.

How often should I wear a mouthguard, nightguard, or sportsguard?

The frequency of wearing these protective devices depends on your specific needs. Mouthguards for sports should be worn during physical activities, while nightguards are typically worn during sleep to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism).

What are Cone Beam scans, and why might I need one?

Cone Beam scans are 3D imaging technology used for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. They are particularly useful for complex cases, such as dental implant placement, orthodontics, and assessing oral pathologies.

Are root canals painful, and how long does the procedure take?

Modern root canal procedures are typically painless thanks to local anesthesia. The duration varies depending on the tooth’s complexity, but most can be completed in one or two appointments.

What are the signs and symptoms of oral cancer, and how often should I have screenings?

Oral cancer screenings are recommended during routine dental check-ups. Symptoms may include persistent mouth sores, white or red patches, unexplained bleeding, and difficulty swallowing.
