Common Questions From Our Patients
As a family practice, we want everyone to feel comfortable. We will examine your child’s teeth, discuss home hygiene care, and answer any questions you may have about our practice. We welcome you to make an appointment for yourself or for a child’s older sibling the same day, so your young child can see we are here to help.
The answer to this question will be different from patient to patient. To find out what is best for you, we start with a consultation to find out your goals and the condition of your teeth. With that information, we can work with you to develop a plan to give you a smile makeover with one or more of our many cosmetic services.
Dental restorations (crowns, bridges, and dentures) replace the natural crown of your missing tooth. Implants are replacements for the roots of lost teeth and support your new restorations. With implants, your replacement teeth are stronger. They are secured to your jawbone, so you can eat what you want and maintain your jaw health for many years to come.
