Dental implants can contribute to improved facial symmetry and fullness by preventing bone loss in the jaw, which can lead to a sunken appearance after tooth loss.
They expose patients to less radiation than traditional X-rays and are faster and more comfortable.
A proxabrush with a silicone coating can be used with porcelain veneers, but remove your aligners for effective cleaning between your teeth.
They can lead to tooth decay, as the sugars feed oral bacteria that produce acid, weakening tooth enamel.
Over time, fillings can wear down, chip, crack, or fall out, or decay might form around them.
Depending on the procedure, it’s often recommended to wait 24-48 hours before engaging in strenuous activity to allow for proper healing.
