1 / Who does the dental cleaning in the office?

Short Story, The dental hygienist. A dental hygienist studies for two years in a specialty school for preventative dental care, whereas a dentist studies all areas of the dental field over four years. Our office always delegates your needs to the best provider. 

2 / Is the pain normal during a hygiene appointment?

During your dental cleaning, it is normal to feel soreness or pressure, especially if you have deep pockets. If you have experienced discomfort during your appointment, please let us know.

3 / When is it a good time to get braces

It depends on what your teeth look like, or if there's any underlying condition. If you are interested, please book a comprehensive orthodontic/braces exam with us. Our youngest orthodontic/braces/appliance patient is currently 5 years old.

4 / Every office offers Invisalign vs. braces, are they all the same?

All general dentists can provide orthodontic services. Invisalign,  unlike traditional braces, pays visits to the office less often.  Invisalign is usually recommended for relatively simple cases. For complex cases, we find that braces do a better job not only for the teeth but facial profile as well. It is important to communicate with the dentist and find the one with the right experience and shared aesthetic preferences. 

5 / How do I keep my braces clean?

Our team will provide you with instructions on how to clean, eat and get used to life with braces in-person. We would also provide you with information to take home in case for recap.

6 / Can I bring my pet to the office?

Our office will only allow support animals with valid licenses.
