How often do I need to visit the dentist?

Part of our new patient exam is making a unique treatment plan for each patient that visits our clinic. This includes the frequency of visits as we recommend most patients to visit every 6 months. However, due to medical conditions such as diabetes or arthritis which can affect home dental care, we may recommend more frequent visits. On the other hand, if you don’t build plaque very easily and have never had a cavity, we might recommend less frequent visits such as every 9 months.

Is there an age limit for getting Invisalign?

There is no age limit for getting Invisalign treatment. Whether you are a teenager or a senior, if you are not happy with the alignment of your teeth and want to explore options for straightening your smile contact us now to schedule a consult.

What exactly is a cavity?

A cavity (also known as caries) is a hole in a tooth that comes when dental plaque is left on a tooth surface and begins to produce acids and other nasty products that begin to eat away at a tooth and creates a hole in the tooth’s surface. However, did you know by the time you see a cavity it means that there is a significant infection of bacteria into the tooth and the tooth may need more treatment than just a simple filling? That’s why our team of dental experts always try to treat teeth before a cavity can make an appearance.

How safe are dental X-rays?

Dental x-rays (radiographs) are very safe. The amount of radiation that a dental x-ray produces is about the same as you would receive from a 4 hour airplane ride or an average work day commuting to work from your home. That being said, we only take dental-xrays when absolutely necessary and promise to use as little radiation as possible on all our patients.
