  • Do partial dentures need to be removed at night?

    Good morning. Most definitely. Not doing so will lead to decay and candidiasis ( fungal infection ) which could be really dangerous. Partial dentures should be removed and cleaned after every meal and should not be worn during the night. Other options for teeth replacement include fixed bridges and implants. If you have a dentist I’m sure she will be happy to go over those options with you. If you are looking for a new dental office please know that. Listen to your goals and help you achieve them by offering 0% financing when needed. READ MORE

  • How can I straighten my teeth?

    Hello, There are a couple of ways to straighten teeth. Traditional braces and clear aligner therapy. My favorite is using aligners as they are cleaner, gentler, and more discrete. Since you can remove them, flossing is a breeze and because you don’t have brackets to worry about coming off, you can enjoy all the foods you like. We use Invisalign and SureSmile in our practice. READ MORE

  • Should I brush a chipped tooth?

    Keeping your teeth clean is always recommended. The question is: Is it hurting a lot when touched? This pain may be telling you know that the nerve is exposed or there is a deeper problem like an extended fracture down the root of the tooth. My advice is to make an appointment right away so the situation can be properly assessed and a restoration be done as soon as possible. READ MORE

  • Should I still have a toothache after an extraction?

    It is normal to have some discomfort, after all, a tooth extraction is a surgery. You must give it time to heal. However the pain needs to be subsiding as days go by. If the pain increases you must see your dentist As a condition more commonly known as dry socket could be developing . Make sure you follow the post op indications given to you on how to care for the area where the tooth was extracted from. Taking some over the counter medications such as Advil may help. Also keep in mind that caries are contagious and if the reason fir the extractions was decay the adjacent teeth might also have a big cavity that could be causing pain. Hope you feel better READ MORE

  • How long can I wear a flipper tooth?

    The least amount of time the better. Flippers are not really accurate and they don’t really seat on your mouth being supported by teeth . They seat directly on your gums amd the more you bite on it the more pressure they apply on the ridge ( the space were the missing tooth was located) that pressure causes the ridge to reduce in height taking away bone support to the adjacent teeth and when you decide to place an implant or a bridge the prosthetic tooth would end up having a longer crown that the original one.

    If we are thinking in terms of durability and seal. Gold crowns are the best. However aesthetics calls for zirconia or emax crowns. READ MORE

    Yes, you may. Make sure you brush or your mouth after wards. Braces are “glued on” or bonded to your teeth with composite resin. This material can easily stain more so than your regular teeth and therefore you will see more stains. If you use sugar or cream on your coffee, you are more prone to the residue gettinh trapeo and cavities being Formed. Use and electrical toothbrush like Sonicare to help you clean your teeth more effectively. Have you considered invisalign?
