Can bonded teeth be whitened?
Unfortunately, the bonded material would have to be removed - it is as resin composite material and does not whiten. Remove it and bleach your teeth, then rebond. READ MORE
Does flossing create gaps in teeth?
No. READ MORE
What is the difference between plaque and tartar?
Plaque is food debris that if left over 24 hrs, hardens into tartar or calculus. READ MORE
Is it uncomfortable to have crowns placed?
No. It's a quick and simple process. Usually painless. If patient has a very sensitive tooth during the crown seating process, you can use anaesthetic but that will throw off getting the bite right. Usually only takes 30 min or less if the dentist is using an expensive lab that does quality work. READ MORE
What could be the cause of my gum bleeding?
You are leaving food debris on your teeth by not flossing and have gingivitis. Gingivitis is linked to diabetes, heart disease, inflammation, bone loss, and Covid 19. READ MORE
Why is there a gap between my gum and the bridge?
You must clean under the bridge to keep the two anchor teeth healthy by flossing under the bridge. With no gap you can't clean the bridge. However, we make our bridges so the gap is to the tongue side and you don't see it from the front. READ MORE
Are tooth fillings canceled because of the coronavirus?
We are currently doing all treatment with proper PPE. READ MORE
Is it normal to see your jaw bone after a tooth extraction?
no READ MORE
What is the best crown for front teeth?
Full porcelain or ceramic preferably. READ MORE
What happens if you don't have enough bone for dental implants?
