FAQ

Q: Are Dental Implants Really My Best Option?

If you have a missing tooth and an otherwise healthy mouth, a dental implant is almost definitely your best option! An implant restores full function and beauty to your smile without causing damage to your remaining teeth. Most people who receive an implant forget which tooth has been replaced!

Q: When should my child visit the dentist for the first time?

Most children are ready to establish routine cleaning appointments when they are around 2 years old. We make that first visit a fun time with something we call a “happy visit”. Your child will get to know us and our office. We’ll talk with them and count their teeth. It’s a really fun first appointment. If you’re not sure that your child is ready, bring them to one of your appointments!

Q: Do you offer alternatives to metal braces?

Yes! Depending on your specific dental needs, you can straighten your teeth without the hassle or discomfort of metal braces with porcelain veneers. These lifelike shells are placed over your crooked, gapped teeth to give you immediate, lasting results.

If your teeth need more extensive orthodontic treatment, you can choose between our more discreet alternatives to metal braces. Clear ceramic braces and Invisalign are barely noticeable, and Invisalign can even work for your smile in a fraction of the time as standard treatment!

Q: How can you help me get a whiter smile?
