Specific FAQ Topics
What types of restorative treatments do you offer?
We offer a variety of restorative services, including crowns, fillings, bridges, veneers, night guards, and implant-supported options. Each service is designed to restore the health, function, and appearance of your teeth.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last between 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene can help extend their lifespan.
What is the difference between a composite and amalgam filling?
Composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, while amalgam fillings are metallic and more noticeable. Composite fillings are often chosen for visible teeth, whereas amalgam may be used for strength in back teeth.
Do night guards really help with teeth grinding?
Yes, custom night guards are highly effective in protecting teeth from grinding and clenching damage. They help alleviate jaw pain, prevent wear on teeth, and contribute to better sleep quality.
How is iTero scanning different from traditional impressions?
iTero scanning uses digital technology to capture precise images of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional molds. This method is faster, cleaner, and provides highly accurate impressions for treatments like crowns and Invisalign.
What should I expect after a restorative procedure?
Most restorative procedures have a short recovery period. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days, but you can resume regular activities almost immediately. Our team provides aftercare instructions to ensure your comfort and healing.
