How often should I be visiting for routine exams and cleanings?

For optimal oral health, it's generally recommended to visit our office for routine exams and cleanings every six months. These regular appointments allow us to monitor your oral health, detect potential issues early, and provide professional cleanings to prevent cavities and gum disease. Depending on your specific needs and health conditions, we may adjust the frequency of your visits, so it's important to follow our personalized recommendations.

Should I choose dental implants to replace teeth?

Dental implants are a popular and effective option for replacing missing teeth. They are proven to be a durable and natural-looking solution that can restore both function and esthetics. Implants are particularly beneficial if you're looking for a long-term solution, as they are integrated with your jawbone and provide stability for a lifetime. Dr. Singh can help determine if implants are the right choice for you based on your oral health, bone density, and personal preferences.

What is the best way to enhance my smile?

Enhancing your smile depends on your specific goals and dental needs. Popular options include teeth whitening for a brighter smile, dental veneers for improving shape and alignment, and orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign for correcting misalignment. Dr. Singh will work with you to understand your vision and recommend the best treatments to achieve the smile you desire, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.

Can you restore my teeth without metal?

Yes, we offer several restorative options that don't involve metal. For example, tooth-colored fillings, ceramic crowns, and composite resins provide a natural appearance while effectively restoring damaged or decayed teeth. These materials are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits without the use of metal.
