Over time, the implants integrate with the bone for a natural and aesthetic restoration. Learn more about the dental implant process on our Dental Implants page.

Dental implants require routine oral care, similar to natural teeth. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for long-term success.
How do I care for my dental implants after the procedure?
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups. Avoid chewing on hard objects and follow postoperative care instructions provided by our team.
Can I get a dental crown to repair a damaged tooth?
Yes, dental crowns are a common and effective way to repair damaged teeth. They can be used to restore teeth that are broken, decayed, or weakened by large fillings. Our team can help you determine if a dental crown is the right treatment option for your needs.
How long does the process take from impression to crown application?
The total duration from impression to crown application typically ranges from one to two weeks. This includes the time needed for the fabrication of the crown in a dental laboratory and any adjustments required for proper fit and aesthetics. Our team strives to minimize wait times while ensuring high-quality results.
How do I know if I need braces or orthodontic treatment?
If you have crooked or misaligned teeth, gaps in your teeth, an overbite or underbite, or other dental issues, you may need braces or other orthodontic treatment. An orthodontic evaluation with your dentist or orthodontist can help determine if you need treatment.
What should I do if I have dental anxiety?
If you have dental anxiety, it's important to communicate your concerns with your dentist. They can offer options to help you feel more comfortable during your visit, such as sedation or relaxation techniques. You can also try distracting yourself during the procedure by listening to music or practicing deep breathing exercises.

We recommend replacing your toothbrush or electric toothbrush head every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or worn.

What are the benefits of single-sitting root canals?
Single-sitting root canals save time and reduce the number of visits to the clinic. They are just as effective as traditional root canals, with the added convenience of completing the treatment in one session.
What should I do if my dental implant feels loose?
If your dental implant feels loose, it’s important to contact us immediately. While implants are generally very stable, a loose implant can indicate a problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
How can I prevent my dental fillings from falling out?
To keep your fillings intact, avoid biting hard objects, brush gently, and maintain good oral hygiene. If you have any concerns about your fillings, schedule a check-up with us.

Why does my breath smell bad even after brushing?
Persistent bad breath (halitosis) could be due to gum disease, cavities, or digestive issues. A dental check-up can help identify the cause.
Why do my teeth feel sensitive to hot and cold?
Sensitivity can be due to worn enamel, receding gums, or cavities. A dental evaluation can determine the cause and best solution.
