Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Services
Q: What services do you offer?
A: We offer a wide range of dental services, including dental crowns, same-day dental crowns, dental implants, dentures, gum disease treatment, tooth extraction, and more. From general and pediatric dentistry to preventative dentistry, our goal is to provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages in Hamburg, NY, and surrounding areas.
Q: What are same-day dental crowns, and how do they work?
A: Same-day dental crowns are custom-made crowns that can be created and placed in a single appointment. Using advanced technology, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing, we ensure the process is both quick and precise. This option restores the look and function of your tooth without the need for multiple visits.
Q: Do you offer pediatric dentistry services?
A: Yes! We understand the unique needs of children when it comes to dental care. Dr. Blake and his team provide specialized pediatric dentistry services, from routine exams and cleanings to preventive treatments like dental sealants and fluoride applications. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for your child while encouraging positive oral health habits.
Q: What is preventative dentistry, and why is it important?
A: Preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums to avoid potential oral health issues. This includes routine cleanings, examinations, X-rays, and treatments such as fluoride application and sealants. Regular visits help identify and address problems early, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
Q: What are the benefits of dental implants?
A: Dental implants are a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They improve both function and aesthetics, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Dental implants also promote jawbone health by mimicking natural tooth roots, helping to prevent bone loss over time.
Q: Can you help with gum disease treatment?
A: Yes, we provide comprehensive gum disease treatment. Our services include scaling and root planing, laser-assisted procedures, and ongoing maintenance to manage periodontal disease effectively. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preserving your oral health and preventing further complications.
Q: What should I expect during a tooth extraction?
A: Tooth extraction may be recommended if a tooth is severely damaged or poses a risk to surrounding teeth and gums. Our team ensures the procedure is performed as comfortably and efficiently as possible, often under local anesthesia. We also offer guidance on post-treatment care to support a smooth recovery.
Q: Do you offer dentures for replacing multiple missing teeth?
A: Absolutely. We offer custom-made dentures designed to restore functionality and appearance. Whether you need full or partial dentures, our team will work with you to create a comfortable fit that meets your needs.
