  • Do partial dentures need to be removed at night?

    Good morning. Most definitely. Not doing so will lead to decay and candidiasis ( fungal infection ) which could be really dangerous. Partial dentures should be removed and cleaned after every meal and should not be worn during the night. Other options for teeth replacement include fixed bridges and implants. If you have a dentist I’m sure she will be happy to go over those options with you. If you are looking for a new dental office please know that. Listen to your goals and help you achieve them by offering 0% financing when needed. READ MORE

  • How can I straighten my teeth?

    Hello, There are a couple of ways to straighten teeth. Traditional braces and clear aligner therapy. My favorite is using aligners as they are cleaner, gentler, and more discrete. Since you can remove them, flossing is a breeze and because you don’t have brackets to worry about coming off, you can enjoy all the foods you like. We use Invisalign and SureSmile in our practice.

  • Should I brush a chipped tooth?

    Keeping your teeth clean is always recommended. The question is: Is it hurting a lot when touched?

    The least amount of time the better. Flippers are not really accurate and they don’t really seat on your mouth being supported by teeth . They seat directly on your gums amd the more you bite on it the more pressure they apply on the ridge ( the space were the missing tooth was located) that pressure causes the ridge to reduce in height taking away bone support to the adjacent teeth and when you decide to place an implant or a bridge the prosthetic tooth would end up having a longer crown that the original one.
