Do dental checkups include oral cancer screenings?
A:
Yes. Dental checkups typically involve a thorough cleaning, comprehensive exam, and dental X-rays to look for signs of problems like tooth decay or gum disease; an oral cancer screening; and time with your dentist to talk about any current or potential oral health issues that need to be addressed.

What can cosmetic dentistry do?
A:
If you’d like a gorgeous grin, cosmetic dentistry can help you accomplish your goal. It includes services that repair and conceal stained, discolored, chipped, pitted, cracked, gapped, uneven, worn, and misshapen teeth. There’s virtually no end to the ways we can use cosmetic dentistry to beautify your smile.

Which teeth whitening treatment is best?
A:
While teeth whitening products are widely available in the toothpaste aisles of retail stores, they vary widely in quality – and none work as well as our professional whitening. That’s because they contain more “fillers” designed to keep them shelf stable and fewer active bleaching agents. Their messy strips or flimsy one-size-fits-all trays also make them harder to use.
-
Why is relieving dental anxiety important?
A:
Fear of the dentist can be so severe that a patient will not come into the office for decades at a time. Because oral health affects overall health, this person is likely suffering not only in their mouth but also in other areas of their body. It’s important that we find a solution for the fear so that every patient can remain healthy.
