Patients we treat often have many questions. Below are some of the more commonly asked questions we encounter. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our office, 702.459.8998.
What makes you unique from other dental practices?
We strive to make our office a place to return to again and again, a place where everyone knows your name. There are many dental offices to choose from, however, we believe our friendly, comfortable atmosphere sets us apart from the rest.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
 Dental cleanings should be performed twice a year, generally every 6 months. Research shows that regular dental cleanings may prevent more serious conditions such as gum and periodontal disease. If you already show signs of periodontal disease, you may need to come in more frequently for treatment, usually at three-month intervals. This is vital based on recent studies linking gum disease to heart disease and other systemic problems. These studies show how your oral hygiene risks can lead directly to severe heart disease and even heart attacks.
What do I do if I have an emergency when the office is closed?
In the event of a dental emergency after hours, please call our office, 702.459.8998, and you will be routed to the appropriate person for assistance.
What are implants, and how can they help me?
Implants are man-made tooth roots, surgically implanted into your jaw. They function to hold a fabricated tooth or bridge in place, becoming a very stable solution to tooth loss. The finished implant looks much like your original tooth and is a very effective alternative to a fixed bridge or removable partial.
What if I don’t want any mercury in my mouth?
Recent research suggests that certain patients may have an undesirable response to the presence of mercury-containing fillings in their mouth. Indeed, some patients want all their silver fillings replaced with mercury-free treatments. Dr. Rose has many mercury-free options available including, Cerec same-day crowns and tooth-colored (composite) fillings composite fillings. |
