How much does it cost for Invisalign?

The cost of Invisalign depends on the number of aligners needed. If your dental insurance plan covers orthodontic treatment, it is likely that Invisalign will be at least partially covered. We will provide you with an estimate prior to treatment.

Can a crown last a lifetime?

With proper care, a crown can last a lifetime, although most need to be replaced at some point, particularly the ones made from porcelain. To maximize the lifespan of your dental crown, be sure to brush for two minutes, twice a day, and floss at least once a day. See your dentist every six months for cleanings and exams.

What are the disadvantages of a dental bridge?

Traditional dental bridges only replace the missing tooth above the gum line, so bone loss in the jaw will continue to worsen over time. These types of bridges also place stress on the adjacent teeth that are used as abutments for support. Single-tooth dental implants and implant-supported dentures are a better alternative to dental bridges for patients who want to avoid bone loss and damaging otherwise healthy teeth.

Can I replace all my teeth with dental implants?

Yes, if you are missing or need to replace all of your teeth on both arches, you can replace them with implant-supported dentures or an Full Arch on 4 Implants restoration, which replaces a full upper or lower arch of teeth using only four dental implants as anchors.

How painful is it to get dental implants?

We make sure you don’t feel any pain at all during dental implant surgery. You may feel some discomfort—pulling or pressure, for example—but you will not feel pain, as we use local anesthetic injections to numb the area where we’re working.

Do dentures make you look older?

When you’re missing teeth—even when you replace them with dentures—the bone in your jaw begins to break down. This results in a sunken mouth and prematurely aged appearance. It’s not the dentures themselves that cause people to look older, but bone loss. The best solution for this is an implant-supported restoration.

When should kids get sealants?
