No matter how young or old you are, it is recommended that you visit the dentist at least twice a year. Getting a checkup and cleaning every six months will help keep your smile looking bright and lower the risk of tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
Yes! A missing tooth means more than just an unattractive gap in your smile; it also means one less tooth to handle the pressures of biting and chewing. Your other teeth will start to wear down faster and could drift out of place, causing numerous alignment-related issues. Fortunately, we have multiple tooth-replacement options to consider, including dental implants.
There’s an aesthetic benefit to keeping your teeth healthy, of course, but there are plenty of cosmetic treatments that focus entirely on correcting various flaws in your smile. Between porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, professional whitening, and other options, we can offer plenty of paths toward your dream smile.

That depends on how early you have it treated. If you catch it during the gingivitis stage, it can easily be reversed with a professional cleaning and good oral hygiene. On the other hand, if it reaches the periodontitis stage, you’ll be at a high risk of tooth loss.
