  • Does getting dentures hurt?

    If you need a lot of extractions to then have dentures put in, you will be sore after the procedure for at least a few days. With new dentures, there’s almost always some sore spots that you need to go back to the dentist once or twice for adjustments. If needing your full set of teeth replaced, dentures are the minimum option. If at all possible consider fixed teeth on implants. This used to be unreachable financially for most people with costs of $80,000+, but now with a licensed 3 on 6 provider (www.3on6.com) people can get full-mouth reconstruction for as low as $30-35,000. 3 on 6 is the best option available today and the closest thing to natural teeth that allows you to eat, smile, taste food normally, and function once the process is completed without the many challenges and drawbacks that come with dentures. If in Michigan or the Midwest, the nearest licensed 3 on 6 provider is Grand Valley Dentistry (www.grandvalleydentistry.com). I strongly recommend researching 3 on 6 if considering dentures. Hope this helps! Lance Dehne, D.D.S. READ MORE

  • What to do if part of your tooth breaks off?

    If part of your tooth falls off, you will need either a filling or a crown. If the nerve is involved, the tooth will need a root canal and a crown. The sooner you get to a dentist, the more likely a less invasive option (filling) will save the tooth. READ MORE

  • Can you be awake for dental implants?

    Yes. For one or two implants, we typically use local anesthesia only. Patients normally equate the experience of a single implant similar to the experience of getting a deep filling performed, especially if guided surgery. For full mouth reconstruction with 4-6 implants per arch, we do sedate our patients. Lance Dehne, D.D.S. READ MORE

  • What is the best plaque remover?

    Professional cleaning by a hygienist. At home, an electric toothbrush (such as the Oral B Genius) with toothpaste that contains fluoride. Of course, flossing is crucial for in between teeth. READ MORE

  • Can you wear a retainer with an implant?

    Absolutely. Implants will not move even with orthodontic treatment. Retaining them in place with a clear plastic retainer is safe. You want to avoid lateral and excursion forces on implants, so special consideration/precautions have to be used if trying to orthodontically move other natural teeth. READ MORE

  • Can you crown a tooth broken at the gum line?

    It is possible. To crown a tooth broken at the gum line, root canal therapy must be performed, then a post can be placed into the root and sticking up above the gum line, around which a core can be built, and a crown fitted on top of the core. It is an option, but often the long-term prognosis is “Questionable” or “Unfavorable.” The superior long-term option is to remove the remaining root of the tooth, place an implant (artificial root) with bone graft material, and once that heals (fuses to the bone in 4-6 months), place an abutment and crown. Longer treatment phase, but the long-term prognosis is usually “Favorable” nearing ideal with implants (artificial teeth). READ MORE

  • How long does it take for a gum abscess to heal?

    Typically, a gum abscess is due to a bacterial infection in the root of a tooth. If this is the situation, when taking the appropriately prescribed antibiotics, it will heal (temporarily) in a couple to several days. It is crucial to take the entire 7 to 10 day antibiotic course that is prescribed in these situations. The infection/abscess will return in anywhere from 6-12 weeks or so, unless the source of the infection, the tooth, receives the definitive treatment, normally a root canal (not painful with today’s antibiotics and anesthetic). The tooth will be prone to later fracture or fail by reinfection (usually within 2 years) unless protected with a full-coverage crown. READ MORE

    I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and pleasant my root canal went! It was the best root canal experience I have ever had. When I saw my results it was even cosmetically better? The staff all made me feel at ease. I highly recommend them to anyone, they also worked very hard to get my pre determination on my dental coverage in a surprisingly sort time.
