Frequently Asked Questions


How often should I change my toothbrush?
                  
You should change your toothbrush as soon as the bristles start to flair out and look worn.  Usually this is about every three months.  We give all our 6 month recall patients a free toothbrush, so they only will have to buy one in between visits.


Does Bleaching or Whitening hurt your teeth?
                    
Whitening is very safe if applied to the exterior enamel of the teeth.  But it can be detrimental to the tooth with severe problems if the solution can get to the inside of the tooth by way of old fillings or broken fillings or cavities.  Therefore, you should always have a check done by a dentist before starting any whitening.

Why choose Veneers over bonding which is cheaper?
                  
Veneers look more realistic, they do not stain, they feel more natural, and they last longer.  Bonding will normally last 2-3 years.  Veneers usually last 10 years or longer.  We guaruntee our Veneers  and Our Crowns for a life time.  Call for details?
