Regular cleanings are an essential part of maintaining good oral health. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year. However, some people may need more frequent cleanings, particularly those with a history of gum disease or other dental problems. Your dentist can evaluate your individual needs and recommend the appropriate frequency for your cleanings. By staying on top of your dental appointments, you can keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition, reduce your risk of oral health problems, and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

The length of time it takes to have a filling done can vary depending on the type and size of the filling. In general, a typical filling can be completed in one appointment that lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. However, larger or more complex fillings may require multiple appointments, and the procedure may take longer. Your dentist will assess the size and location of the cavity and determine the best approach for your filling. Regardless of the size or type of filling, your dentist will work efficiently and precisely to complete the procedure as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.

The process of getting a crown or bridge typically involves two or three appointments over the course of a few weeks. During the first appointment, your dentist will prepare the tooth or teeth by removing any decay or damage and shaping the tooth to accommodate the crown/bridge. Then, your dentist will take an impression or 3D scan of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental laboratory where your custom crown or bridge will be created. You will usually receive a temporary crown/bridge until your permanent restoration is ready.

Once your permanent crown/bridge is ready, you will return to the dentist’s office for the final appointment. Your dentist will remove the temporary crown/bridge and place the permanent one in your mouth. Your dentist will ensure that the crown/bridge fits properly and feels comfortable before cementing it into place. After cementation, your dentist will check your bite to ensure that your teeth are functioning normally. With proper care and maintenance, your crown or bridge can last for many years, providing a durable and attractive solution for restoring your smile.

Root canals are a safe and effective way to save a damaged, infected, or decayed tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged or infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection or damage. Root canals have a high success rate of up to 95%, and with proper care and maintenance, the restored tooth can last for many years. While there is sometimes discomfort during the procedure, modern techniques and sedation options make root canals more comfortable than ever before. Your dentist will work with you to ensure that your root canal is performed safely and effectively, restoring your tooth to optimal health and function.
