Common Questions From Our Patients

When should I bring my child to see the dentist for the first time?

We recommend beginning a regular schedule of exams around the age of 2. We like to start with a “happy” visit that mostly involves meeting our team and taking a look around our office. We’ll gradually introduce gentle cleanings and other preventive care based on your child’s comfort level. As parents themselves, our dentists love working with kids!

What kind of dental implants should I get?

Our dentists will perform an assessment using high-tech equipment like our 3-D CT scanner to help determine which implants are best suited to your smile. It’s possible to replace anywhere from one tooth to all of your teeth using implants combined with different dental restorations. Implants can be restored with dental crowns, dental bridges, or dentures.

What is the best way for me to whiten my teeth?

We offer several options, one of which will be right for you. An in-office or take-home teeth whitening treatment from popular brand Opalescence will remove many kinds of stains to brighten your smile. If you have stubborn stains that won’t respond to whitening or just want a more permanent solution, you can cover teeth with veneers or a bonding treatment.
