Can front teeth get dental crowns?
Front teeth can absolutely get dental crowns. There are multiple reasons for putting crowns on front teeth, ranging from broken down fractured teeth to cosmetic enhancements. Before deciding to put crowns on the front teeth, a thorough examination (with radiographs) needs to be completed to determine the best treatment plan for not only the front teeth, but the complementary back teeth as well.

What is the best color for veneers?
The great thing about veneers is that because you are covering the visible surfaces of the teeth, you have complete control over which shade you can choose. Generally speaking, most cosmetic veneers usually fall in the B1 or A1 shade range. There are ultra white 'bleach' shades, but these almost always come across as too white/bright. The best time to pick the shade is at the beginning of the appointment using a shade guide to determine what shade would look best with you adjacent teeth and also your complexion and other aspects of your appearance.

Do I need a dental follow up after getting dental implants?
You definitely need to be on a regular hygiene recall of at least 6 months. Periodic maintenance will prevent major issues from surprising you, while also monitoring your other teeth and gum tissues. READ MORE
I wear dentures. My gums are aching! What can I do?
The first thing to make sure of is that your denture fits your mouth correctly. If the teeth and base are still in good shape, it might only require a reline to have it fit your gum tissue. An ill fitting denture will rock and move and cause major gum soreness and swelling. As for treatment of the tissue at night, I would recommend a medicated rinse called Rincinol by the company GUM. I would suggest that your next step would be to see a dentist to evaluate your denture. READ MORE
What are my options for having a missing tooth replaced?
There are many options available for replacing a missing tooth. There are plenty of variables that will help determine what the best treatment plan will be to restore the missing tooth. Your three options are: an implant, a fixed bridge, or a removable partial denture. Each treatment type has advantages and disadvantages. The least expensive treatment would likely be the removable partial denture. The most expensive option would be the dental implant. A fixed bridge generally falls in between the price range of the other two options. The best way to determine what would work best for you is to schedule an evaluation so that all your teeth can be checked and a custom treatment plan can be made for your individual situation.

What is the life of a tooth implant?
Typically, a single tooth implant is the most successful, long-term treatment option. The lifespan of an implant is usually expected to be over 30 years. The crown on top of the implant may need to be replaced after 15+ years, but it is not uncommon for an implant crown to last 30+ years. READ MORE
