Questions You Ask
Do veneers look natural?
We work with a premium laboratory that handcrafts stunning porcelain veneers. The process of placing veneers includes minimal tooth reduction – just enough to make the thin, strong veneers lie flat, in line with your normal dentition. New generation veneers have come a long way from their ancestors. Now veneers are semi-translucent, so light actually goes through the veneer and reflects from underlying natural tooth structure. The result? No one but you and your dentist will know you have veneers!
I want to know more about changing my smile. What do you suggest?
Schedule a consultation with us to discuss our comprehensive selection of cosmetic options.
I want straighter teeth, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?
Porcelain veneers can make a slightly crooked smile appear completely straight, as if the patient has had years of orthodontic therapy. We can design veneers that will transform your smile instantly.
Do you refer patients to specialists?
We sometimes refer patients to trusted periodontists or oral surgeons for extensive cases that require a specialist. Our patients enjoy a high standard of service from us, so we refer patients only to local professionals who share our patient-centered philosophy.
My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?
Gum disease can cause sensitivity in gum tissue, and this may result in bleeding after brushing or flossing. Contact us right away to schedule a periodontal exam if your gums bleed easily.
What are crowns in an hour?
Thanks to CEREC milling technology, we can create porcelain crowns in about an hour. These crowns are ready to place during the same appointment, saving you time and the inconvenience of wearing a temporary crown.
Why do some dentists do extractions and root canals, while others refer patients to specialists?
Many dentists specialize in certain aspects of oral healthcare; for example, oral surgery or periodontal therapy. Seeing a specialist ensures that you receive treatment from a professional trained to handle your specific needs.
