\"DentalIn our dental clinic<\/a>, we aim to educate and inform our patients about dentistry and oral health, in general. \u00a0In order to do so, we take the time to get to know our patients and engage them in conversation during dental exams. This way we can find out what health concerns each person has and make recommendations for addressing them. \u00a0Over time, we have found that many of our patients have similar questions about their oral health. \u00a0With that in mind, here are answers to some questions that we are asked on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Will my teeth hurt during the procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is perhaps the number one concern for many people. \u00a0The good news is that dental care doesn\u2019t hurt when you visit our office. \u00a0We offer sedation dentistry that makes it possible to relax and prevents a person from feeling any pain during a procedure. \u00a0By keeping our patients comfortable, we make it possible to get dental care without feeling worried or concerned.<\/p>\n

Why is my veneer chipping?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a restoration like a dental veneer or crown and it looks like the bottom is chipping away \u2013 you may be grinding your teeth at night. \u00a0Nighttime grinding or clenching is actually fairly common. \u00a0A lot of people do it, and the condition gets worse with stress. \u00a0Some people are unaware that they have this problem until they see physical damage. \u00a0If this is happening to you, we recommend visiting our dental clinic<\/em> so that you can get fitted for a night guard. \u00a0This will prevent your upper and lower teeth from touching and prevent damage at the same time. \u00a0It is also important to keep your teeth and gums healthy with regular brushing and flossing along with trips to our dental office. \u00a0These preventative care steps will help your veneers to stay in good condition for a longer periods of time.<\/p>\n

How do I know which dental procedure to choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In dentistry, there are multiple ways to address common oral health issues. \u00a0This is good for most patients since it gives them options when it comes to health care. \u00a0The challenge is that it also confuses people. \u00a0We will explain all of your options along with the pros and cons of each so that you can select one that works for your lifestyle. \u00a0You are the only one that can make the final decision, but we can let you know which procedure we feel will be the most effective.<\/p>\n

Is my tooth going to be pulled?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many people have a fear that their tooth will need to be pulled if it has become damaged. \u00a0This is the case only a small portion of the time. \u00a0In most situations, we can save a tooth that has been damaged by completing a restoration like a dental crown or veneer. \u00a0This saves the tooth so that it doesn\u2019t need to be pulled. \u00a0Ideally, we will complete the restoration fairly quickly and before the damage can become worse. \u00a0If you have hurt your tooth, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our dental clinic<\/strong> immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
