FAQs For Oral Surgery
How long do restorative treatments last?
With proper care, treatments like crowns, bridges, and implants can last many years—sometimes even decades.
What is bone grafting and why would I need it?
Bone grafting rebuilds lost bone in your jaw. It’s often needed to prepare for a dental implant or restore jaw health after trauma or infection.
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore function, comfort, and a natural-looking smile.
Are dental implants better than dentures?
Dental implants are a long-term solution that look and feel like natural teeth. However, dentures may be more suitable depending on your needs and preferences.
Will my restorative treatment look natural?
Yes! We use lifelike materials and expert craftsmanship to ensure your new smile blends beautifully with your natural teeth.
Does getting a crown or bridge hurt?
Not at all. We use gentle techniques and local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment.
Can I combine cosmetic and restorative treatments?
Absolutely! Many patients combine cosmetic treatments like whitening or veneers with restorative care to enhance both function and appearance.
What are my options for replacing missing teeth?
We offer dental implants, bridges, and dentures to restore missing teeth and improve oral function.
