Question 1

What is included in dental cleaning?

Accepted Answer

A dental cleaning begins by using an ultrasonic tool to remove large deposits of plaque and tartar from your teeth. Your hygienist will then use a hand tool to remove any remaining tartar. Teeth are flossed and polished to remove stains and create a smooth surface that makes it harder for new tartar to form.

Question 2

How much do dental implants cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of dental implants varies a great deal depending on the number of teeth being restored, the type of restoration being used, and whether any preliminary procedures like bone grafting or extractions are needed. We will help you understand the costs for your unique needs during your dental implant consultation.

Question 3

What does gum disease look like?

Accepted Answer

Gum disease starts with very mild symptoms that are easily overlooked. These include redness, swelling of the gums, and bleeding when brushing and flossing. As it progresses, you may notice halitosis (bad breath), discharge from the gums, and gum recession. Eventually, your teeth may start to feel loose and shift in your mouth.

Question 4

What does a dentist do for sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

Dentists can treat sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy, which involves repositioning the lower jaw and tongue in such a way that the airway remains unobstructed as you sleep.

Question 5

How can I get white teeth in one day?

Accepted Answer

The only way to get a noticeably whiter smile in a single day is with in-office teeth whitening treatments from a dentist.
