Frequency Asked Questions
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth and a veneer is a thin covering that is placed over the front part of the tooth.
What is enamel shaping?
Enamel shaping is the process of shaping or contouring natural teeth to improve their overall appearance. When teeth are slightly crowded or uneven, or when eyeteeth appear too long, enamel shaping may be used to correct the flaw.
Is bleaching for me?
Bleaching is tough on stains, but gentle on your teeth. It can remove many stains that are in the outer layers of the tooth. if your teeth have yellowed with age or are stained from tobacco, tea, coffee, or food, bleaching may restore their natural whiteness. Antibiotic stains and discoloration caused by an injury may take longer to bleach and may not respond as well. Bleaching will not change the color of fillings and crowns, and it's not advised if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
What causes my jaw to pop when I open it?
There is a pad or disk that separates the jawbone from the base of the skull. The primary cause of the "popping" occurs when you open your mouth too wide and the jaw bone "pops" off the pad or disk. Treatment is not required unless pain is associated with the "pop" or the jaw locks.
Does the office follow strict infection control protocol?
Yes, the office is fully compliant with OSHA and follows the American Dental Association guidelines for infection control.
What does it mean when my gums bleed when I brush and floss?
That is a sign that Periodontal Disease is present and needs to be treated. This is what leads to tooth loss.
