What are dental implants?
Dental implants are made up of an implant post and a dental restoration. The implant post will permanently replace lost tooth roots. The dental restoration, which is often a dental crown, is affixed to the top of the implant post.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implants are designed to fuse with your jawbone, making them a permanent part of your smile. Implants will last for many years, or even a lifetime. They are more comfortable than dentures because they will not slip. Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth.
How long do the effects of teeth whitening last?
The duration of your results will depend on your diet and habits. If you expose your teeth to staining foods and beverages, the brightness of your smile may begin to fade in as little as one month. If you avoid foods and drinks that can stain the teeth, you may be able to wait for a year or longer before you need another whitening treatment or touch-up treatment.
Is a root canal painful?
Though root canal therapy has a reputation for being painful, it actually relieves pain caused by infected dental pulp. Most people say that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than having a dental filling placed.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary approach to straightening smiles. Instead of the traditional wires and brackets, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable aligner trays to guide your teeth to their ideal positions.
