Question 1

Will Kor Whitening get my teeth too white?

Accepted Answer

Kör will “brilliantly” safely remove the coloration acquired in the tooth structure. There is a built-in limit to the ultimate results. Teeth will never get whiter than the white in your eyes.

Question 2

Is Invisalign as effective as braces?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign is steadily surpassing traditional braces in popularity and effectiveness. It is the emerging “gold standard”.

Question 3

How often should I have my teeth cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Most adults are best served having professional cleanings 3-4 times a year. Twice a year cleanings are often inadequate to preserve stable and healthy teeth and gums.

Question 4

Will I ever need to repeat deep cleanings?

Accepted Answer

Patients who require deep cleanings typically need this repeated every three to five years and, not infrequently, two years is best especially if a three month periodic maintenance schedule is not continue.

Question 5

Will tooth-colored fillings last as long as amalgams?

Accepted Answer

The modern restorations we place are not only highly esthetic but as durable as amalgams. These ”composite resins” offer many advantages as well including better tooth support and easier maintenance. Being mercury-free is another plus.

Question 6

Will the recuperation after wisdom teeth are extracted be long or difficult? Shall I expect to stay home and miss some workdays?

Do root canals require multiple visits?

Accepted Answer

Most root canals nowadays are completed in a single visit.
