Our team of experts at Sweet Smiles Dental Design is happy to help patients of all ages learn more about their smiles, whether that’s how to care for them or how to rebuild them. We want you to have all of the information necessary to make decisions for your smile that you feel confident in. Below, we’ve compiled some of the most commonly asked questions we get from our patients, along with our answers. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please give us a call.
Traditional dentures, bridges, and dentures have long been the standard for replacing missing teeth, but in recent decades, dental implants have quickly risen to the top. They offer an additional layer of restoration by replacing the missing roots of teeth in addition to their crowns. Because of this, patients are able to enjoy enhanced stability, chewing strength, and an incredibly long lifespan of 35 or more years with good maintenance.
The American Dental Association, as well as our team of experts at Sweet Smiles Dental Design, recommends visiting the dentist twice a year for a professional checkup and cleaning, or once every six months. This will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums. For those with chronic dental issues, like gum disease, your dentist in Castle Rock may recommend coming in more frequently to stop the progression of the infection.
The first step you should always take if you have a toothache is to call our office immediately. Our friendly team will provide you with first aid guidance over the phone as well as schedule an emergency appointment for you as soon as possible. Once you arrive, our team will jump into action determining the underlying cause of your pain and developing a treatment plan to preserve your smile.
In the past, traditional metal brackets and wires were the only option to address malocclusion, crowding, and gaps between teeth. However, today, you have a more discreet and convenient treatment method, called clear aligners. This orthodontic solution is excellent for image-conscious teens as well as adults who must maintain a professional appearance in the workplace because the trays aren’t highly visible. Schedule a consultation today to learn whether clear aligners in Castle Rock are right for you.
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans, but if we don’t our team will inform you before your appointment so you’re aware. In a majority of cases, we file claims on our patients’ behalf to help maximize your benefits and minimize any expenses that you may need to pay out-of-pocket.
