Frequently Asked Questions

I have a teenager who needs orthodontic care. Can you help with that?

Yes. We offer clear braces as the perfect choice for patients seeking orthodontic care. Our clear braces provide discreet treatment for patients of all ages who want to avoid traditional metal braces.

Teenagers are especially happy to hear that they can avoid the brackets and wires with our ClearCorrect alternative. Instead, ClearCorrect works via an aligner system that slowly encourages teeth to shift into a straighter position.

What are our options to replace a full set of teeth?

If you or someone you know needs to replace a full set of teeth, bring them to our office for an exam. We can provide modern dentures and partials to meet their specific needs. Our team also provides dental implants to patients looking for more secure and permanent dentures.

With the help of a few dental implants, the dentures have something to keep them anchored into the mouth. We also offer a variety of other restorative dentistry options for patients in need. We can replace a single tooth or restore the health of their gums or jawbone.

What Should I Do to Improve My Gum Health?

Your gums are the glue that keeps your mouth together. Gums hold your teeth in place and battle against harmful bacteria that grow in your mouth. You should floss frequently to care for your gums.

When you floss, you eliminate plaque and food particles, which can harbor bacteria and contribute to tooth loosening. It is also important to schedule regular dental checkups. We want to ensure your gums are healthy and not bleeding or developing deep pockets.

How Can I Improve My Brushing Techniques?

You should spend two minutes brushing your teeth twice a day. Not everyone brushes their teeth properly.  You should move your toothbrush back and forth across your teeth in a circular motion. Brush each tooth on the outside, inside, and chewing surface. Those who adhere to this method are less likely to experience dental issues.
