FAQ
I’d like to have tooth-colored (composite) fillings. I’ve heard they are more expensive than traditional silver-mercury fillings. Which filling offers better quality?
Modern technology has allowed for tooth-colored (composite) fillings, which are designed to blend in with your tooth. Because these fillings are bonded to the inside walls of the tooth, there is no chance of micro-leakage or discoloration of the tooth. These fillings last for at least five years. We recommend composite fillings for most of our patients.
My dentist said that I need a root canal. Wouldn't it just be a lot easier to have him extract the bad tooth, and save me time and money?
I haven't seen a dentist for a long time because I can't afford insurance. My teeth don’t hurt, so do I need a check-up?
I've been thinking about having my teeth whitened. Do the bleaching kits from the drug stores make your teeth white and perform as well as the custom ones the dentist offers?
I have a space between my front teeth, and they're a little crooked. Do you think I need braces, or are there other options for me?
