  • What is the difference between porcelain and zirconia crowns?

    It depends on what type of material the lab your Dentist uses, but generally speaking, porcelain crowns are made of a material called lithium disilicate, which is a different material than zirconium. The good thing, is they are both white! Your general Dentist can talk to you more about which type they are using, as the different types are ideal for different teeth in the mouth. READ MORE

  • Can zirconia crowns break?

    Generally speaking, zirconia is the strongest material used to make crowns that do not break. Now, depending on where the tooth is located, and how much space the dentist was able to create between the tooth with the crown, and the tooth it is biting against, there is always a small possibility that the crown could crack. Ultimately, this is something you need to discuss with the dentist who placed the crown, as they will know more about the condition of the tooth prior to the crown being placed. READ MORE

  • Are dental implants put it under dental anesthesia?

    Generally speaking, no. Implants are safe to place with just local anesthesia (meaning a shot). If the patient has anxiety about the procedure, the Dentist placing the implant can decide if they want to help the patient with their anxiety by using either nitrous (laughing gas), oral sedation like valium, or a combination of both. In rare occasions, IV sedation can be used, but generally speaking, this is not at all necessary. READ MORE

  • Regular dental cleaning?

    During a regular dental cleaning, there is no need for numbing medicine. If the cleaning needs to be a "deep cleaning" due to a lot of tartar present under the gums, some hygienists will give just a little numbing medicine to help with discomfort. READ MORE

  • What's the difference between a tooth extraction and a surgical tooth extraction?

    A tooth extraction is considered a "simple" tooth extraction when it needs to be loosened and pulled out. A surgical tooth extraction is when the gums need to be moved out of the way, and, possibly a surgical drill used to remove parts of the tooth. This is also done when removing impacted wisdom teeth. Ultimately, this is something you need to discuss with your general dentist so they can evaluate and make a treatment plan accordingly. READ MORE

  • Is a surgical root canal painful?

    Generally speaking, no. The only time root canals can be painful is if the tooth is greatly infected, but most of the time, the only pain with a root canal is the toothache before the root canal is done. Speaking as a person who has had 3 root canals, I never experienced pain during any of them. READ MORE

  • How long to keep gauze in after tooth pulled?

    You need to keep the gauze in for about an hour. If it gets saturated with blood, take some new gauze, make sure to wet it slightly with water, and replace the old gauze. Keep pressure on the cause, if at all possible. Persistent “oozing” is normal, but all should be calmed down and fine within a day. Evin READ MORE

  • How do you clean your real teeth with veneers?

    Clean the teeth just the same as you would any others. Make sure you keep up your regular cleanings at your dental office, and if they see anything of concern, they will let you know. READ MORE

  • How to diagnose a cracked tooth?

    Ultimately, the diagnosis of a cracked tooth is made with a combination of clinical examination and radiographs. If a cracked tooth is suspected, the patient needs to have a CBCT (a 3-D scan done), which will verify, or negate a cracked tooth. Sometimes, the pain that you’re reporting can just be due to the filling being too “high” or just not hitting at the right place when biting. This is a simple fix at your dentist’s office, without having to get numb. READ MORE

  • How do I manage root canal pain without access to my dentist?

    Root canal teeth can be sensitive for up to a month, especially if there was infection at the time of the root canal. The pain should subside with time, and the only concern would be if an infection starts, or if the tooth breaks (it it’s not already covered with a crown). If the tooth is still hurting after a month or so, or if you’re noticing any swelling, be sure to contact your dentist for further examination. READ MORE
