How long will my partials last?
It all depends on the health of the surrounding gums and teeth. Since partials sit on those structures, they need healthy supports. I've seen partials in function for 20 years, and others fail due to the surrounding teeth giving out in a few years. Make sure you are getting regular checkups to ensure everything is healthy, and if there are any problems get them addressed soon before they become big issues! READ MORE
How long does a root canal procedure take on a molar tooth?
It depends on the dentist, the equipment and technology they have, and the difficulty of the root canal. Some may take 30 minutes, some can take three hours, some may even take multiple visits. In our office, Peakview Dentistry in Boulder CO, we aim to do a root canal and crown in one visit which we schedule from one hour to two depending on the difficulty. Good question though! READ MORE
When will my dentures stop hurting?
New dentures usually require a couple of appointments after to remove any sore spots. If one is removed another can form but after a few appointments they should fit well! READ MORE
How can I reduce swelling after a gum graft?
A cold compress or ice pack is a good way and there are medications you can take but honestly ask your dentist about what to do for your specific situation. Each surgery and person is so different, they would know best! READ MORE
How long does it take for braces to close a gap?
It really depends on how much movement is needed to close the space. It could be a very simple case that may only need a few clear aligners trays like Invisalign, or may need to be a more comprehensive case. Talk to your dentist about it and they should give you a good idea of the extent! Adam Kwiatkowski DMD Peakview Dentistry 1200 28th St. Ste 300 Boulder. CO 303-417-1644 READ MORE
What are the disadvantages of getting veneers?
Really depends on your unique situation. Sometimes veneers can help preserve tooth structure that was broken down, or they can help properly align the teeth. If it's strictly for cosmetic reasons, the disadvantage is you are potentially removing a small amount of natural tooth structure and replacing it with a prosthetic material that is porcelain or ceramic. Talk to your dentist who knows your unique situation and he or she can go into more depth! READ MORE
What last longer bridge or implant?
Usually crowns and bridges can be expected to last around 15 years. Some last longer as I've seen ones that have been in function for 30+ years. Implant on the other hand should last for the rest of your life. Can there be issues and complications? Of course, but if everything is healthy implants should outlive bridges. READ MORE
How long does it take for implants to fuse to the bone?
It really depends on your health conditions, bone quality, and how the placement procedure went. Usually it can be between 3-6 months READ MORE
What can I do for gingivitis?
The best is to get regular professional cleanings and brush and floss at least twice a day! READ MORE
How can I treat an infected tooth without a root canal?
If a tooth is infected and you do not want to get a root canal the other option is to take it out and replace it with an implant. READ MORE
What can I do for bleeding gums?
Having a professional cleaning done at a dental office and then having regular checkups is the best way to stop that bleeding. READ MORE
What can I eat with the molar crown?
With a permanently cemented crown you should be able to eat pretty much anything. The best advice is to talk directly with the provider who made the crown to see if you have any other specific restrictions! READ MORE
Should I take pain medicine before dental implant?
That is a great question to ask your dentist because it really depends on what you can take, if you are being sedated, how big of a procedure it will be, etc. Always ask first because some pain medications can increase bleeding risk and interact with other medications your doc may prescribe! READ MORE
Can I get 4 dental implants at once?
Yes, you can, but that procedure may take a bit longer than just an individual implant and you may be more comfortable being sedated. It also depends on your medical history and a variety of other factors. Talk with your doc about that possibility! READ MORE
How long after dental implants can I eat normal food?
It really depends on what was done. Asking your dentist is the best bet but typically you want to eat a soft diet if you have a temporary tooth on the implant. If you have a healing cap or it's under the gum tissue just be careful about eating hard things in that area. Talk to your doc and they should be able to give you a more exact answer! READ MORE
Why are my gums swollen after deep cleaning?
The gums can be irritated and inflamed after a deep cleaning because it does aggravate the tissue. However, the gums should start to tighten up within a few days and show more health in a few weeks. That's why it's important to do the 4-6 week follow-up to make sure everything is healing as expected! READ MORE
