Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a stable base for attaching replacement teeth, such as crowns or bridges. Implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth.
Braces come in several types: metal braces (traditional stainless steel), ceramic braces (clear or tooth-colored), and lingual braces (placed behind the teeth). Metal braces are durable and effective, ceramic braces are less visible, and lingual braces are hidden from view.
Cosmetic dentistry includes treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and contouring. These procedures can enhance the appearance of your teeth, correct imperfections, and create a more attractive smile.
It’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth eruption. Early visits help establish good oral hygiene habits and allow the dentist to monitor the development of the child’s teeth and jaw.
Braces can correct issues like crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites. By aligning the teeth and jaw properly, braces can improve bite function, enhance oral hygiene, and boost self-confidence as your child grows.
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, providing stability, improved function, and a natural appearance. They help preserve jawbone structure, enhance speech and chewing, and do not affect neighboring teeth.
During your first visit, you will receive a comprehensive examination, including a review of your dental and medical history, a thorough cleaning, and possibly X-rays. Your dentist will discuss any findings and recommend a treatment plan if needed.
It is generally recommended to visit your dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. Regular visits help prevent dental issues, maintain oral health, and catch problems early for prompt treatment.
Ensure you have your dental records and relevant medical history ready. We will provide detailed pre-visit instructions and guidance to prepare for your treatment.
