  • Can partials damage the jawbone?

    A properly fitting partial denture will not damage the jawbone. If you have too much pressure from the partial on a certain part of your mouth, your dentist can relieve the partial for a proper fit. Hope that helps! Dr. Colin Gibson 1ST IMPRESSIONS Orthodontics 2761 W 120th Ave #110 Westminster, CO 80234 www.1stimpressionsortho.com www.facebook.com/denverorthodontist 303-452-2277 READ MORE

  • Can Invisalign fix underbite?

    Yes! Invisalign can fix and underbite (class III occlusion). There are several methods to accomplish that goal. Just talk to a Certified Orthodontic Specialist and they can diagnose your bite severity and develop a treatment plan for you. Hope that helps!

  • Is it easy to remove a crown?

    It's pretty easy. Your dentist will use the dental handpiece to section the crown off. Then they can replace it. Hope that helps! READ MORE

  • Can Invisalign cause gum issues?

    Yes, sometimes the aligners can impinge on the gum tissue. Please see your orthodontist and have them trim the aligners to decrease or eliminate the aligner contact with the gum tissue. Hope that helps! READ MORE

  • Can I get a dental crown without a root canal?

    Hello - You can get a crown on any tooth with or without a root canal. It depends on the diagnosis of the tooth if it will need a root canal or not. Hope that helps! READ MORE

  • What crown is recommended for molar teeth?

    I recommend Porcelain fused to metal for posterior teeth. They will look great, but last longer and have less breakage than an all Porcelain crown. Hope this helps. READ MORE

  • How to fix a broken denture?

    Go to your dentist. They will take a new impression of your teeth and use it to repair the denture. It usually can be repaired in 1-2 days. Thanks. Hope that helps. Dr. Colin Gibson 1ST IMPRESSIONS Orthodontics 2761 W 120th Ave #110 Westminster, CO 80234 www.1stimpressionsortho.com www.facebook.com/denverorthodontist 303-452-2277 READ MORE

  • Can Invisalign straighten front teeth?

    Absolutely - Invisalign can straighten both front teeth and back teeth. It can also improve the "bite" or the way the teeth fit together. Hope this helps! READ MORE

  • Can braces cause cavities?

    Braces won't cause cavities if they are placed properly by a Certified Orthodontic office and the patient follows brushing and flossing instructions. Hope this helps! READ MORE

  • Do I have to replace an implant?

    As long as the implant has achieved the correct "osseointegration" (meaning that has attached to the bone sufficiently) then you don't have to replace the implant. Hope that helps. READ MORE

  • What is the next step after a dental implant?

    The new implant will take some time to "osseointegrate" or to "stick to the bone" around it. After that period of time, the abutment and new crown can be place on top of the implant to finish the restoration process. Good luck!

  • Do dentists numb you for crowns?

    Yes, they do! You need to be numb in order for the dentist to "prepare" your tooth for the temporary and permanent crowns. Thanks. READ MORE

  • Is it necessary to adjust braces every month?

    No. Typical braces adjustment intervals are between 6 and 12 weeks. Thanks! READ MORE

  • Is Invisalign supposed to smell?

    Invisalign can smell like "plastic", but shouldn't smell like anything else. You need to brush your Invisalign aligners with toothpaste and water at least twice a day. Thanks. Dr. Colin Gibson 1ST IMPRESSIONS Orthodontics 2761 W 120th Ave #110 Westminster, CO 80234 www.1stimpressionsortho.com www.facebook.com/denverorthodontist 303-452-2277 READ MORE

  • Can you eat or drink before a dental implant?

    Yes, you can! Your dentist/surgeon will let you know all of the pre-op instructions before the visit. Most likely, you will not need any sedation for the implant procedure, so you do not need to fast before the surgery. Thanks! READ MORE

  • Can a tight retainer damage your teeth?

    As long as the retainer was made by a certified Orthodontist and fits correctly, the tightness will not harm your teeth. Your local certified Orthodontic Specialist can help you out with fit. Thanks! Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE

  • Do braces move your teeth every day?

    Hello! Yes, braces move your teeth in an incremental and constant fashion. Invisalign moves your teeth in "stages" and in a cyclical fashion. Thanks. Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE

  • How long does Invisalign take?

    Hello, Every Invisalign case is different depending on the severity of the malocclusion. Our average case takes 6 months. Thanks! Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE

  • How can I tighten my retainer at home?

    I don't think tightening your retainer at home is a good idea. If you do it incorrectly, your teeth could shift in undesirable ways. Your dentist or orthodontist will be happy to adjust/tighten your retainer for you at no cost (most likely). Thanks! Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE

  • Should you keep your Invisalign in overnight?

    Yes! You should wear your Invisalign aligners 20-22 hours each day. Wearing them when you sleep is the easiest way to get those valuable tooth movement hours in. Thanks! Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE
