Helping Patients Better Understand Oral Healthcare
Questions about oral health and hygiene are common among patients and interested individuals. Whether you are a current visitor in our office or are looking for a professional you can trust, allow Dr. Jones and our team to provide clear answers to some of the most popular questions. Review the information below and call us if you need additional help.
Do I need to have professional cleanings twice a year if I brush and floss every day?
The short answer is yes. Even the most diligent daily brushers and flossers are unable to remove every trace of bacteria, plaque, and tartar. Professional cleanings allow our team to remove buildup from even the most difficult-to-access parts of teeth.
What is a fixed bridge used for?
A fixed bridge is a tooth replacement option that restores one to three consecutive missing teeth. The bridge consists of two dental crowns attached to one or more replacement teeth. The crowns are attached to surrounding healthy teeth to support the restoration.
Does teeth whitening work?
Over-the-counter teeth whitening options offer dramatic brightening, but only professional whitening products can deliver predictable results. With professional teeth whitening, patients can brighten their smiles up to ten shades.
Can dental implants replace a single tooth?
Absolutely. Dental implants are the most versatile tooth replacement solutions, effectively restoring any number of missing teeth from the roots up.
