FAQs About Our General & Restorative Dentistry Services

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged teeth, whereas general dentistry encompasses routine care, including cleanings and exams.

Even if your teeth and gums feel perfectly healthy, it is recommended that adults visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and professional cleanings. These visits help catch potential issues early and maintain optimal oral health. However, some adults may require cleanings every 3 to 4 months due to factors such as genetic predispositions, underlying medical conditions, or extensive past dental work. Everyone’s oral health needs are different, and more frequent visits can be essential for those at higher risk of dental problems.

Yes. Tooth-colored fillings are more natural-looking and bond directly to the tooth, making them a popular and durable option.

No. Once tooth decay begins, it requires professional treatment to prevent it from spreading or causing further pain.

Crowns, also known as caps, are placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength.

Great oral hygiene goes beyond brushing and flossing. To keep your smile healthy:

  • Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash
  • Limit sugary snacks and beverages
  • Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods
  • Avoid all forms of tobacco

Teeth can stain over time from coffee, wine, tobacco, or deeply pigmented foods. For a brighter smile:

  • Try professional take-home whitening kits for mild stains
  • Consider professional in-office whitening for more dramatic results
  • For deeper or internal discoloration, options like composite bonding or veneers can offer long-term cosmetic solutions

Prevention starts at home with twice-daily brushing, daily flossing, and a balanced diet. Regular dental checkups are crucial for detecting problems early.

Dental X-rays allow your dentist to detect problems that are not visible during a regular exam, such as cavities between teeth or issues below the gum line.

  • Most adults get bitewing X-rays once every one to two years
  • A full-mouth series is typically recommended every 3–5 years
  • Patients with a higher risk of tooth decay may need X-rays more frequently (every 6 to 18 months)

Tooth sensitivity often causes discomfort when consuming hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods or drinks. It can result from:

  • Worn or thinning enamel
  • Gum recession
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Cracked or chipped teeth

Depending on the cause, treatment may include using sensitivity toothpaste, fluoride treatments, night guards, or addressing underlying dental conditions.
