Is Invisalign as good as oral braces?
The best thing to do is go in for a consultation as each patient can be a little different. For just straightening, Invisalign works just like regular/traditional braces. However, if the case is more complex like correcting cross bites, traditional ortho treatment may be best. READ MORE

Can a deep filling cause nerve damage?
Anytime teeth are worked on there can be issues with the nerve. Most of the time this does not lead to further treatment needed. In some situations and with deep cavities the tooth may need more then just a filling. READ MORE
What's the difference between porcelain and zirconia crowns?
These are two different materials and used in different situations. First off they are both tooth colored materials and there are different variations of each material. Zirconia is a much harder material then the strongest porcelain on the market. Porcelain acts much more like tooth structure and can be bonded to the tooth leading to potentially more conservative restorative work. You would have to have your personal situation to see what material would be right for you. You are more then welcome to call the office for a complimentary consultation to talk over your options.

Yes, this could be linked. If it came in at the same time as the tooth pain this could very likely be the source of your headache. READ MORE

Good old fashion slightly waxed floss and a WaterPik will help. Must be done on a daily basis to reverse the gingivitis. READ MORE
